In dressage Germany is the favorite for gold, especially after the form their riders shown at the German championships. As in most sports, World rankings are not the best reference. The key of German

Superb comeback by the Germans in show jumping and superb showing by Jung. Two almost flawless Olympics in a row.

I cant believe that we lost gold again, it was like a penalty without goalkeeper, it was almost impossible to lose the gold. Our riders are complete mental midgets, absolutely disgusting performance again.

No one expected France to win any gold here and 2 medals at best and now they have 2 golds and 1 silver, France is probably the most overperforming team in the history of the olympics.

I just saw that Philippe Rozier, part of the winning French team, competed at the 1984 Olympics. He also competed in 2000 so he shows up once in 16 years. :d

 

Anyway, I'm glad that someone from those "Hollywood Olympics" have won a medal here. :) Several others appeared but failed.

And his father Marcel Rozier won the same team event at the 1976 Olympics, that is to say our last gold medal in this event before today :thumbup:

Sports according to OlympicsFan:

 

I) Germans success

a) Meh, nothing to see there, business as sual

 

II) Germans' unsuccess

a) German athletes gave away the victory, other nations athletes overachieved

b) Other nations athletes cheated, they are dopers who stoled motherhodd victories

 

 

Your Olympics must be really fun.

Yeah, yours obviously too, otherwise you wouldnt come up with words like "stoled" or "motherhodd". Whatever substance you took, it sounds great! :thumbup:

2.b) Me accusing athletes of doping of course has nothing to do with german athletes losing. I accuse everyone of doping who is suspicious to me, no matter whether a german athlete is in the same event or not, you really could have noticed that ... probably you took too much of that substance to notice it ... ? :mumble:

2.a) Many german athletes underperformed here (Vogel in womens keirin, Eilers in mens keirin, Schwanitz in womens shot put and so on), but some german athletes also overperformed (Rowing mens quadruple sculls, Reitz in mens rapid fire pistol or Unruh in womens archery). Overally the olympics have been pretty disappointing for Germany, too many negative surprises. There is no doubt that France overperformed in equestrian ... right? So what exactly is your point here?

1.a) Not true. I never expected a gold for Hambüchen or a medal for Unruh (womens archery) and i am over the moon for them, especially for Hambüchen, who really deserved this gold.

 

I am having fun watching the olympics, but this are the worst (summer) olympics i can remember, thanks to all the (doping) scandals, the empty stadiums, the unfair brazilian fans and the athletics/swimming sessions in the middle of the night.

Stop being such a smart ass for once, of course, it has.

      got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games.

      it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.

      Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.

      Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.

      In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
