Just found this forum- thank goodness! hope you don't mind an Australian being here.

 

Nah we don't, and you're welcome for us providing you with Jacco Verhaeren but can we get him back after Rio? :d

Can we agree on "greatest olympic swimmer of all time"?

I'm fairly sure we can :p 

 

It's impossible to directly compare athletes from different sports, but I'd definitely name Al Oerter and Alexander Karelin as well as challengers for the "Greatest Olympic athlete of all time" title, just like Paavo Nurmi.

Phelps is here to play, like if anyone had any doubts lol :lol: Could win everything once again, though i feel deep inside that Czeh will finally get a win over him after so many years. :)

Talk about something that would be incredibly cool and well-deserved :bowdown:

Are talking only about summer, because there is one mister Bjorndalen. :d

That's my dream in this olympics, Laci beating Phelps and le Clos in 200 fly, that would be phenomenal. :bounce:

 

According to his coach he's in a great condition and ready for the start... :fingers:

Impossible to compare disciplines. These 'greatest ever debates' are impossible. Someone like Aaorn Piersol was as dominant as Phelps was at his peak, albeit he didn't go to as many Olympics.

    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
    • Skeleton WC Pyeongchang, South Korea    Women Gold-  Freya Tarbit (1:44.68) Silver-  Hannah Neise (1:45.64) Bronze-  Janine Flock (1:45.70)   Full Results   Men Gold-  Christopher Grotheer (1:42.81) Silver-  Marcus Wyatt (1:42.87) Bronze-  Matt Weston (1:43.31)   Full Results
    • Poor Iga, she was essentially playing alone with all of the mistakes that Kawa was making. 
    • This time losing in the final will be a big disappointment for me... Especially since Poland and the Czech Republic are out. Everything depends on Paolini, who can/must win the singles and doubles in the final. The big problem is with Errani's tragic serve... If she served at Paolini's level Italy's chances would be much greater.
