Quite surprising see an archery, it's not a common thing to see (obv, there are schedules issues)

Archery competes on July 25, and then has a short break, with competition resuming on July 28. The ceremony fits into their schedule quite nicely.

:NED Worthy de Jong (3x3 basketball) & Lois Abbingh (handball)

Been waiting for this news for a while. I didn't expect De Jong, but Abbingh is a very respectable pick who completely deserves it. Former world champion on her third Olympics, been a face of international handball for years.

 

On the men's side I would have personally picked Roy van den Berg from the men's team sprint or potentially Abdi Nageeye.

Not sure if Nageeye is even in Europe already though, his race is still far away...

 

I do think De Jong is very much a worthy choice :) 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Is De Jong an olympic debutant?, surely can't have had many of them before.

Yes, he switched from many years of regular basketball to 3x3 in 2022, specifically with Paris as the aim.

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China.
