USA should win but you can't really write off Brazil.

 

Poland will win.

 

France is favorite but there's also a good chance of an upset.

 

Italy will win, Japan is disappointing so far.

Mostly agree, but :SLO has had :POL ‘s number lately, and of course you can’t forget about their Olympic quarterfinal curse.

We should but we are not sure if it was dirty play on purpose with Italy or not. And even if so how it can influence our team with 1/4 and Slovenia curse+ Fornal injury, serious problems with Kurek and Karczmarek (with him mental ones) + no Bednorz (coach's call). 

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

I fell S(L)Orry, guys. We are going to get this semifinal.

 

If there is one medal Poland really deserves in these Games, it is men's volleyball. It is probably the only (or one of really few) sport where we have something like a training system across the whole development time of players. This results in the depth of our squad (we could probably set up another one or two Olympic-level-teams), constant successes in the past years and should finally give us an Olympic medal. Moreover it is a really popular sport in Poland and the players are genuine stars.

 

So, let us enjoy the game.

 

Let the best win and let the best be Poland :POL :)

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
