zero ??? :yikes:

British athlete get a lot of funding, german athletes can only dream to get such a good funding, they dont need that much prize money.

Guys, any chance we can put here the dates of the draws to be conducted this week, i know Wrestling and Taekwando will be before the competitions in the second week.

 

I believe Table Tennis is the 3rd, and Boxing is the 4th. I believe this week we also have Fencing, Judo and Tennis, are there dates? also are there links anywhere to see it live? i know there was link for the Table Tennis draw, not sure about any of the others

Look what this guy from India (apparently) got for his bronze medal in 2012. Crazy ...

I think this is the main reason why so many athletes from poor countries decide to dope, who wouldnt?

 

But one also has to consider that a gold medal at the Olympics is a much "bigger thing" for India or Indonesia than even for smaller European countries like Hungary (let alone US,UK, China, Germany, France, etc.).
In my ctry it was considered a catastrophe that at Beijing we only won 3 golds. To put that in perspective this is exactly the half of the total gold medal haul of Indonesia from 1960 to 2012 (all of them in badminton). India has 9 gold medals to date from 1920 to 2012 (8 of them in field hockey)

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
