and only silver for women's hockey team. And swimming team in pool :cry: My favorite swimming team :cry:

Yes, the women's hockey team was unlucky in the final. They played way better than GBR, but GBR was more effective and managed to score 3 goals.

 

The swimming team was just disappointing, bar the marathon swimmers. The 4th place in the 4x100m relay was sort of expected, but we all hoped for bronze. Individually, only Ranomi Kromowidjojo was close to reaching her potential. So there's already a lot of discussion going on on how to move forward from here.

About our team in the swimming pool: anything more than 2 medals already would have been surprising..like Dennis said, we were hoping for bronze in the 4x100m and maybe one medal from Kromowidjojo (like bronze in the 50 if everything went perfect), but that's about it. I'm much more saddened by Femke Heemskerk, of who we didn't expect an individual medal, but who had the most horrible swim meet in her career in terms of performance and technique...her French coach just destroyed her and she was swimming like a grandma, I've never seen a top swimmer look that bad in the pool. Considering she always comes across as a way nicer person than Kromowidjojo, I really hope she will change to another coach and finally reach her potential (which I believe can be bigger than Kromowidjojo) :) 

 

Polling in the judo had horribly bad luck with her draw, drawing the only opponent who really knows how to handle her already before the quarter finals..not much you can do about it. Like she said, "it's not like I lost to some 'nobody'..."

Completely agree with everything you said. Polling was indeed very unlucky to draw an opponent who doesn't compete much during the years and therefore was not seeded, but who in the end won the gold medal.

Overall I had expected this number of gold medals, but more total medals. Anyway, my nation winning medals isn't the most important thing for me at the Olympics of course, that's seeing great sports and I've seen A LOT of absolutely amazing matches, finals, races and so on :)

We did? :p 

 

Well yeah, the finish of the people far behind was really nice as always, the touching moments of the Iranian crawling over the finish, the Argentinian jumping sideways for the last km etc :)

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
