well, in London the end was better..as the last event was modern pentathlon and the beautiful gold for the beautiful Laura Asadauskaite also all fantastic emotions from the crowd by the Samantha Murray silver and unstopable joy of the bronze brazilian medalist Yane Marques. :d

 

For me this was a better ending, as Modern Pentathlon is the sport I dislike the more on Olympics (I'm always hoping to see it gone) and because I love to see US Basketball team.

 

I'm just a bit sad as I expected a little more from Serbia, but well, Durant+Thompson+Anthony... What an you do against them....

Well what to say about Americans. We play this game for only ten minutes, and then press pause button. However silver medal is great achievment for our team, plus bronze medal for women team. Amazing tournament for us.

 

And tomorow is first POD day - first day of post olympic depression :(

oh yes I watched...very few..but I watched..I enjoyed mainly the jumpings finals..the individual jump-off also the teams bronze medal jump-off. I watched also the dressage events, even I had no clue at all and I was mainly amazed and focused on the horses..btw didn´t it hurt the horses all these bridles ? I know stupid question..but Im definitely not a often viewer of equestrian so I know nothing about it...but I have to learn if my country want organize the world equestrian games :d

 

and yes I watched also the eventing finals (jumping first session for teams and second for individuals) and it was great too even if I watched only few, the last riders because it was scheduled as you know at same time as our first medal in Rio in C1 canoe slalom :d

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
