Thank you @hckosice and (I believe?) @NikolaB for very quickly confirming that Russia's team was indeed incredibly strong, right when it was announced  Bookmakers giving them odds of 2.5 was a good one indeed  

 

yeah you know thats me. I love to give joy here and there to everyone

Good game, OAR.  Congratulations!

 

Congratulations to Germany as well.  

 

Frankly, I'm just upset no one made a Stalingrad comment during the overtime.

Not the German media by the way, they literally say they lost "a thriller against Russia" and no mention of 'Olympic athletes'  

Respect , I really don't like obs commentators consisting on mentioning OAR the whole tournament , ok it's fine in individual sports , but here ? For me saying Russia is easier than OAR

Exactly, same for BBC. Even in an individual sport, why would you not say someone simply is a Russian? Like it or not, it's a fact that they compete under a neutral flag, but it's also a fact that a Russian athlete is a Russian person, and so, a Russian. Why not simply call him/her a Russian? Even in this case you could call them 'the Russian team', because it's a team, and they're Russian --> a Russian team

Congrats Germany on the silver!!

 

I hope this grows the sport in the country.

Well at least they have Russia at their name  , Kuwait had their most successful Olympics ever in Rio , but under the name of IOC
