Yeah,i was confused by what you wanted to say.Yeah China is coming,despite the controversy,i'm just happy that as i understand sun yang or whoever eas that Chinese swimmer whosmashed  his doping test won't be at paris.

This swimmer is quite old and is unlikely to return to a high level but now they have young people + strong relay teams. You will have to pull out every medal and probably achieve personal bests to stand on the podium.

IOC keeping basketball tournament at 12 is by far the biggest shame regarding quotas. This is going to be probably the best international tournament in history of basketball. I'm not overreacting. And it wouldn't be any different if 4 more places went to countries like Lithuania, Slovenia, Bahamas etc..  And I don't care for 3x3 even when it's going to be our probably safest medal at the games. 

 

Having men's football at 16 glorified youth competition with no relevance in the world of sport and basketball at 12 is a joke.

i agree. 3x3 should be dropped in favor of mor team in 5x5, After all 3x3 basketball is mainly a sport of youth interest

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
