I'm a fan of the spanish routine but Spain won the bronze in 2015 only becouse Italy and Israel were wrong

 

Well, Italy won bronze in London 2012 because he was not penalized errors.

Mamun finally beats Yana K. and in what perfect timing. :yikes: I think even without the mistakes she still could have beaten her.

I'm so glad for her, coming from the shadow of Yana. Still I doubt she could win without her rival's error, as judges love Kudryavtseva.

Russia got a gold medal with very suspicious scores once again. I'm not surprised.

 

Italy and Belarus had mistakes, so Spain got silver and surprisingly Bulgaria earned the bronze medal. I'm soooo happy for Bulgaria! It's sad to see France and Italy without medals in Gymnastics, but Bulgaria on the podium is certainly heartwarming.

Congratulations girls. :thumbup::ESP

 

Spain achieved silver medal after failing not the whole competition. They are the deserved at London 2012, but the judges did not valued as well. Russia gold, but not penalized earned him the first exercise, and this dragged note of the other teams.

 

20 years in Atlanta, Spain won the gold medal, the first Olympic champion of this modality ago.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
