wasn´t he the guy whose team didn´t notice the Indonesian from group B and on the last C&J attempt playing for a bronze medal they put a kilo less than they should have on the bar ? :p

I was rooting for Calja for the sake of history, but his coaches decided to decline the offer :lol:

 

Anyway it will be tougher for him in 2024, considering he's competing against younger competitors

Bolivia in men's tennis definitely does not have a "decent shot" at winning a medal, sorry.

 

Also, Albania got 4th place in men's weightlifting in Tokyo, I'm surprised no one mentioned that for Paris? Or maybe one of the medal winners will get caught doping and the Albanian guy will get promoted to bronze, that honestly might be the most likely first medal for Albania knowing how the sport of weightlifting goes :d

I only really put Bolivia in as I had to take Samoa out who I hadn't realised had won a medal and wanted the list to contain 10. Only now do I realise that Monica Doria of :AND would've been a better and more realistic option.

I am adding a prediction here that I guess (hope) three countries to be on the podium:

 

1- :MLT could be via shooting skeet men

2- :IVB mainly in 400 hurdles men

3- :AND presumably Canoeing

Don’t see it happening. When has Crooks ever achieved a LCM time worthy of an international medal? He’s more of a short course specialist. 

Yes, this was definitely the boldest of the one's I listed. 

 

But this year, he was 6th in the 50m freestyle (21.73) and 7th in the 100m freestyle (47.94) which was his breakout long course meet and he's still 21. With another year of long course training, he has a chance. Probably not a great chance but it's still possible.

50m at the olympics produces some surprising results sometimes, but this really seems too much of a long shot.

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions. I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been to southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.  In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't give up their country even though at the beginning her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelić family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century, Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect because they were true Croatian patriots until the end.
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
