Instead of Canada and Poland, I cheered earlier for Russia and later for USA. Nothing personal, but in Bulgaria we don't like the Poland team. But I think they will win, because they play awesome.

Nevertheless, I expect a great match.

Yeah, well, I think your expectations were too high :d

I know Polish team is not liked in Bulgaria, I even spoke with some volley-friends abroad, so I think our team generally isn't very much liked by many fans, but in some cases it's mostly a cultural cause - here in Poland we too have teams many people don't like because of Politics etc. I however am a person who doesn't basically have a grudge against any team, however when I think some team cheats/ plays un-fair I am not afraid to say it in any sport, regardless if most people think different, so I realise some of my comments may seem harsh when compared to others :d tbh The Bulgarian team is not much liked here either after WL finals in 2012 when some Bulgarians throwed stuff at our players during the semi with your team, the same with Russian, German and possibly Iranian team,  but well, I just wanna see clear sport ;)

The Netherlands have a got chance to make the final in womens volleyball! :yikes:

No one expected that, especially considering that they shouldnt have qualified in the first place. Russia and Brazil were much weaker than expected. We have the same situation as in mens handball: The second semifinal (USA vs. Serbia) should have been the final. :cry:

We have one good player and he gets injured as soon as the match start, typical luck of argentina. The same with our 2 handball teams. I'm sick of this....

"That's it, I don't need to watch the next 15 days :cry: this is all I wanted."

Thats what you said after Pareto won the gold medal ... so when did your account got hacked? Back then or just now? :p

I understand how you feel, but: In my opinion you had almost perfect olympics. Many people didnt expect you to win a single gold and now you already have two and could very well win a third today, in addition to that Del Potro won a silver medal completely out of nowhere.

well, watching BRA-ARG i have the impression that if - AGAIN - we won this 1 set more in group stage, we could beat Brazil yesterday. Americans were enormous and we couldn`t have a worse 1/4 opponent.

    • Epic own goal for Sparta in the Dutch 1st division (or 2nd, whatever you call it, the one underneath the top flight ). At 1:00 in the video.    
    • Happened to the rock guitarist Wilko Johnson.  He was also given a short time to live but survived for nine years.
    • Unheralded Suzan Lamens won Osaka 250 title as a qualifier. These Asian 250s are really the easiest way to make a run at a maiden WTA title for all these lower ranked players!
    • Dove into my results archive again...   I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023).   Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards  - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 20.10m   Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell  - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones  - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson  - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana  - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio  - 2:01.977   Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip  - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette  - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera  - 10.772 (66.839 km/h)   Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess  was the winner.     I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below. 
    • Canoe Polo World Championships are coming to the end. If i'm not mistaken this countries should get quotas:   Men   Women ()  Last spot should be decided between  and  in match for 7th place.   https://www.kayak-polo.info/app/#/chart Qualification system: https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/2025_cap_worldsgames-qs_061123.pdf
    • This 400IM field is a joke  (besides MSH…)  
    • Marc Marquez with a horror start (saved it nicely though)....turns out it was because right before the start, he took off a tear-off from his visor, threw it away and it ended up under his own bike  
    • That was Friday though, yesterday was better (although a seagull was destroyed by Miller) and today so far has not had any problem at all luckily  
    • And a Dutch record for Nyls Korstanje behind him
