Europe - The Final Countdown

Final Countdown
We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground (leaving ground) Will things ever be the same again?
[Hook]
It's the final countdown The final countdown
[Verse 2]
We're heading for Venus (Venus) And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us, all yeah
With so many lightyears to go
And things to be found (to be found) I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
[Hook]
It's the final countdown The final countdown.
Guitar solo etc
It’s the final countdown
It was a great drive, but to be entirely fair about the 'from last place to the win' thing: that was also definitely part luck The ones in the top had made their stop, then a safety car appeared and Bortoleto and several others could get a 'free' stop (including Verschoor, who got a 3rd place that way)
But in general: yeah, Bortoleto definitely should be on the radar for some team...
Very happy to see Manthopoulou win a silver in 100m
I had some expectations for her and was wondering why she disappeared, then I saw her name in the Paralympics and was very surprised, as I had not seen her name for quite some time
Life sometimes can be brutal but she seems happy now and that she accepted her new life condition
Nikoleta Eleftheriadou (water polo, 26 yo)
Chrysoula Diamantopoulou (water polo, 28 yo)
A bit surprised by these as both just made their Olympic debuts. Eleftheriadou is in a long-term relationship with a famous basketball player (Vezenkov), so she probably is planning to start a family with him and is set financially. However, he just left the NBA to move back to Greece so I thought that was partially to be with her more, but now if she's retired from water polo it really doesn't matter.
Diamantopoulou I guess isn't a huge loss because she split being the main goalkeeper with Stamatopoulou, so now I'm sure Stamatopoulou will be the main goalkeeper.
Favourites completely mess up against in the wheelchair rugby semi. Score was 47-47 with.a minute on the clock. Aussies wanted to hold possession, run out the clock & score with a couple of secs to go. First part worked, but then they gave up a turnover, took it to overtime & won!
