Hey Guys ! Long time lurker here. I really enjoy reading the forum, and the work done. And I now secretly support Slovakia thanks to @hckosice.   I just want to try this little game for Fran

Between 0 and a reallocation in weightlifting in the future.   Longshot, a bronze in tae kwon do.

That's a real pessimistic guess, surely there is more?

 

No, it's not pessimistic is the hard reality of 6 years of poor planning and continuity followed by 6 months of even bigger robbery of the new "leftist" administration.

 

Just read my last post in the fencing thread... that poor girl was falsely accused of doping, then every tribunal and sports authority didn't back her claims, which were even supported by evidence from a lab in Germany.

 

The only representative in Congress that has raised his voice to question the recent scandals in our swimming fed has been threatened by FINA itself due to "interference" and the president is trying to split our best synchro pair.

 

Our "best" race walker was caught doping and their defense was all fabricated, and there isn't any other athlete that has real chances to medal.

 

Pro Clubs in the Mexican Football League couldn't bother to let the best U23 players to attend Pan Am Games, because they're more concerned with the box office of a secondary pityful tournament.

 

Tae Kwon Do federation is under the radar of the government because it has been fabricating receipts to cover their expenses.

 

Archery federation dismissed their Korean archers, and look at the disaster at World Championships.

 

So it's a bleak picture what lies ahead.

I am curious about Zanetti. Wasnt he favorite for gold before Rio? :mumble:


Not really. He didn't even qualify for the rings final at the 2015 World Championships. Petrounias was on fire and he was the clear favorite for the gold medal in 2016. I hope neither Zanetti nor Petrounias win the gold medal in 2020, though. We have new specialists arising and it's important to have variety among the champions.

Gymnastics - Artistic - well it’s hard to predict, we have a chance if women’s team qualify, Iordache is back and with Golgota and our juniors Sfiringu and Stanciulescu we can make it. If we qualify i think we can win at least 1 medal if not I hope Iordache to have a great comeback.


No chance in hell. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but a team medal is impossible (I strongly believe Romania will not even qualify a women's team).

Thanks.

I actually started to like Arturo in 2012 when he was flawless. His performance was something perfect. After that i watched WC and up until Rio, that was it.

Elefterios was perfect back in Rio, but before start i somehow hoped for another gold for Zanetti.

I like rings the most so i will observe it closely this time.

Well, yeah the hardest part is to qualify for Olympics but I have faith. Golgota, Crisan, Holbura, Ghiciuc, Iordache, Cimpian, Puiu can make it

      WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Men's Football UEFA European Champions League 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
