For Spain wins a medal in 12 years in Athletics ... Orlando has had a hard time not to compete for three years, a little understanding for him.

I would have preferred him to win the gold :d 

 

But yes, this was a beautiful medal :)

But we're 7 times better than you when it comes to medals per capita. It really isn't that hard to win loads of medals when you're the 3rd largest country (in population) and have the money you h

It was his own fault that he wasnt allowed to compete, no reason to feel sorry for him. Spain naturalizing everyone who they can is also business as usual, sadly for you Mirotic, Ibaka, Diego Costa and so on all didnt help you much.

Here is a hint for your athletics federation:

Why not naturalize Peinado, Tenorio or Rojas? They all could become medal contenders in the future ...

Edit: This is not a medal for Spain, your country had absolutely nothing to do with this medal. I would have had no problem with one of your race walkers or Beitia winning a medal, but Ortega won the medal for himself and only thanks to Cuba, they deserved this medal.

Spain no longer has a chance of winning gold. Miguel Angel Lopez was a candidate in the 20Km Race Walk, but failed. Spain will not win gold in athletics. :(

Beitia still has a chance ;)

 

Not the biggest favourite or something, but saying she has no chance for gold would just be unrealistic :d 

Much, much, much weirder things have already happened during these Olympics.

Ezekiel Kemboi walked through the mixed zone for the press and said it was the last track race of his career. Happy retirement Ezekiel!

French team appeals against Kembois Bronze medal. They claim he left track and must be DQ.

That's right, but it is very difficult. Beitia is before his last chance, is 37 and retires after Rio. Spain is having a tough time in Athletics, he withdrew all its figures.

You have to trust the progression of Sergio Fernandez and Bruno Hortelano, but the world can not do anything.

Apparently even the analysts on French TV say it's a stupid protest and won't have any chance, because of some rules around the water hurdle. If that dirty Mekhissi gets a medal in this way, I won't ever watch a men's steeple chase race again..at least not with him in it.

Of course it will be difficult, but she is often great at championships and big moments, so if she has a great day and a bit of luck, it's really possible :)

 

I gave her 20% chance for gold :p

      I wonder if there is some drawback to this, we'll see I guess, but this sounds like an excellent change I think? I remember Acosta in Paris, that was....not amazing

      writing here because it's going to heavily impact on the Olympics, but it's part of a way bigger blow for many sports in Italy    earlier Today, the Italian idiots running the government did change the rules about getting the Italian citizenship because of the heritage (ius sanguinis) now, only foreigners with at least 1 parent or grandfather/grandmother born in Italy will be able to ask for our citizenship now all those people with the Italian heritage coming from men/women further down the family tree won't get it because of that (of course they will still be able to earn it following the remaining pathways, like marriage or living here for at least 5 consecutive years -if coming from EU Nations, 10 if coming from outside EU)   this is basically the end of any chance to have an Italian competitive team in all those team sports where there are not enough athletes practicing within our Country like ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football and even rugby (just to name the olympic sports), all disciplines where we always relied on major help from foreign born Italians   but this soon will affect also a few individual sports, when the consequences of the pandemic stoppage will come into effect (soon)   for this thread's purpose, it' obvious that now we won't have any chance to have a decent hockey team at the 2026 Home Olympics; we are forced to stay with the current shameful B division bunch of drunk players that can't even skate

      Maybe now the sport news and people here can do a little less celebration the next time a russian figure skater has their own disaster.Karma is a thing in sports too apparently,just had to get a bite in that a russian representing georgian had a disaster that opened the door for one of our own to the olympics.And now our main pair fall,whoops.

      it took two Olympics (and 4 years) for UWW to finally realize there is a big big flaw in their current rules (we have this since early 2021)   in Greco-Roman, in high level specially in heavier weights it's just hard to score. in this case sometimes the match ends up 1-1. (1 pt for passivity caution for each) under current rules lots of wrestlers decide to be intentionally passive in first 2 minutes to receive the first caution. this created lots of ugly scenes in Olympics. for example  Yasmani Acosta won an Olympic silver in Paris without doing a thing! he was passive in his 3 pre-final matches and won all of them 1-1    UWW will test a new rule at the European Championship next week, only in case of 1-1 and only in Greco-Roman whoever gets the first point wins. I believe this will become an official rule soon, they should make this change long time ago but yet late is better than never   https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships

      are my favorites for the time being.    could definitely grow on me as well. There's very few songs I'd count out before I get the chance to see them during the live shows.     P.S. "Baller"  would play at a trendy shop in LA, and I would enjoy it
