There never had been important level of greek volleyball. Karalis father is greek , his mother from africa, he was born and lived all his life in Greece. On the contrary our Judoka and wrestler are russians, not greek. I have no problem to admit the same for Greece also. I gave my explanation why i thought France will win it

At least you have Anthi

But you know, one different Mokry's call and maybe in half an hour we would be champions...or Germans. So it is always quite close.

Don’t know if you missed it, but Clevenot gave Carle his gold medal for a moment to give him his respect for all the hard work he’s done, really nice moment that was, I like him even more now

Forgot to share it in the previous reply, but I believe the reason why he wasn’t awarded a medal is because he didn’t play at all during the Olympics. I think it’s a shitty reason that needs to be changed, but oh well.

 

Hopefully they can change the number to 14 players per team like in VNL, and no alternates for LA 2028.

I dont know if someone mentioned the fact that France had 10(!!!) players from Tokyo here.

We know that's not happening. There is going to be quota cuts across the traditional sports and  I am not looking forward to events with 4 entries (Im being dramatic but you get the point)

I hope this is a widespread change for LA. Just eliminating traveling alternates in team sports and including them in the team, like they did in ice hockey and they did during Tokyo 2020 in a lot of sports.
