Everyone in Brazil was expecting gold from Isaquias, but silver is an amazing result anyway. First ever Olympic medal for Brazil in canoeing. :thumbup:

I have to say I'm happier with Moldova's medal, though. :yes I don't know why, but I always cheer for Moldova in every sport competition. Serghei is an amazing athlete and I'm glad he has an Olympic medal again, after his gold medal at the 2014 Youth Olympics.

He should win gold in the C2 and lets see what he can do in the C1 200 m. I think Tarnovschi is actually from Ukraine? Sad for them, they could easily finish top 10 in medal table, if other countries wouldnt "buy" so many of their athletes. (I dont know why Tarnovschi competes for Moldova now)

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Walczykiewicz finally fends off the demons from London where she basically choked into 5th place.

 

Wonderful silver for Poland!!!

 

And of course Mikojalczyk/Naja defend their bronze from London too. With all the bad luck & terrible results we've had elsewhere, the canoe sprinters actually lived up to the expectations!!!

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people
