Sorry, but for me someone has to go, and that someone is Antiga... I really love our coach, but after WC 2014 he really seemed to lose his way and allow the players too much.

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

I wouldn´t call a country which won 7 medals (2-2-3) weak at all and definitely not a nightmare, and also some other good chances still to come :)

you probably don`t follow all our affairs with doping, cycling, swimming, tennis, Fajdek today, terrible shape of many athletes.

 

Believe me - even if we win some 11-12 medals those Games are so sad for us

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

well, he had Zagumny, Wlazły, Winiarski.

 

He was a player 3 years ago still. After the loss of those 3 great players he didn`t achieve too much and this period was rather a dissapointment + WC were at home. He was to young to stand-up to the challenge, it seems in longer perspective that hiring him was a mistake

Ok, I understand that, I defended him back in 2013-2014, but  I am really disapointed with what happened after WC. I dont know what is wrong, I dont think 4 players leaving would cause such fall in play, Antiga + Blain are a good duo, but they obviously don't know how to reach our guys anymore :( besides they still commit the same mistakes they did back then - very late substitutions and time outs , being overall too calm, playing all tournaments with badically one team - even tonight, perhaps he SHOULD have screamed at the guys, or even change all of them after second set

yes, "Wojtyra" affair, our track racer informed 1 day before the start that....she won`t compete with almost no explanation - she went to all media with this with hard words

 

some swimmers were not on the list on distances they wanted to swim (some of them gave strong comments too), those who were were swimming some 3-4 seconds worse than month ago, doping in weightlifting, Radwańska disaster, Fajdek distaster with some emotional fb-comments, percentage of heavy losses, style of losses, tears, crying all the time, wrestlers losing to likes of Argentina...lots lots of sad moments EVERY DAY (just examples)

in fact i meant the same and i agree 100%, WC were at home, with 3 great players and probably using the tactics of former coach a bit (there was no time). After WC they didn`t win anything. Today they failed the exam - no changes for Drzyzga, Buszek (too late) or Kurek as receiver and Konarski in attack. No Możdżonek and Szalpuk here.

 

In my opinion they have made too many mistakes and we need new coach

hmm yep..well definitely thats a lot of bad things for one team..I understand that many of mentioned things must be frustrating..what can I say ?..hope you´ll at least enjoy the last days of Rio 2016 and somehow catch some positive emotions too :fingers:

 

Good luck neighbors :)

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
