Quite happy for Hong Kong women for getting a quota.

 

Very sad for Canadian men for failing, finishing in 13th. Our men's team is so weak now.

 

"Our men's team is so weak" could be said about practically every Olympic sport for Canada :d

Good enough day for Team GB

-Proud through in Butterfly

-Literal god Adam Peaty (WR) and Wilby through in Breaststroke

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Very weak level apart from Sjöstrom and MacNeil, this could be a huge chance for girls like Di Liddo and Wattel. Next year Ikee and Oleksiak will hopefully be back + Shkurdai will be 56 low by then hopefully.

 

Ikee I really doubt will swim anymore (at competitive level, at least)...

I don't know exactly what type of leukemia she got and how her treatment is going, but we can say she's lucky if she can have a decent life for the next few years...

returning to competitive sport is not impossible, but highly unlikely...

however, I wish her the best and I hope she can beat that fuc*in' disease...:fingers:

Everyone who considers himself as a sports fan must get sick seeing that cheater winning and celebrating like that. What a shame! 10 of 10 points on the Efimova scale! 

Hopefully they'll send them into a lifetime ban in September, so that we don't have to witness such a disgrace in Tokyo.

Bla bla, salty white tears.

I completely support Horton’s actions in the podium. There are rare times when an athlete can just upset me in a way I hate, but Sun Yang is at the top of that list.

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
