We are already losing 0-4 against USA in roller hockey :( looks like we will finished last in every team sport outside speedway...

 

No offence, but considering the very few numbers of qualified nations in collective sports (low to 4 in AF), host nations should probably not be granted an automatic sport in these games.

I agree ;) maybe not so much in invitational sports but in the official sports hosts should at least meet certain objectives, achieve certain results or simply participate in a special tournament to determine if they should play in such a big event. Unfortunetly most of our teams simply are too weak to compete here and only drag the level down :(

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

despite being 5 out of 5 in the finals, Iranians managed to win only 1 gold medal ! :facepalm: Poursheib (who had the least chance for gold) finally beat his archrival Araga ! the others mostly lost their lead near the end of the match and of course as usual there were some dubious calls. specially when you are up against Japan

 

so far 2 gold and 4 silver from 6 athletes, few more left in Muaythai, Jujitsu, Snooker and Archery.

Good results for Brazil so far considering these sports don't get a lot of money from the federations (which, I think, is the situation with many nations).

 

For instance, both Beach Handball teams only travelled to Poland thanks to a crowdfunding and even some of the expenses had to be paid by the athletes, which is a shame considering we are the current champions of this event. Hope their investment is worth it.

    • Johaug was looking very good in Beitostoelen yesterday, to say the least.   https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=CC&raceid=46969
    • The only reasons Johaug won't compete are either injury or mis-treating her sunburnt lips again.

    • i think she will, she will come back like Vonn, Hirscher etc.

    • Hallberg MAGIC!  Amazing on the last flat sector!
    • Johaug will not be competing in Milano-Cortina.
    • Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?
    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at home, so I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...
