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 ;)

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....

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:

"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.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
