Do we need :KGZ ?

No, they are in SF of Boxing -57kg, they have already done

 

 

And the first  medal for Kenya in 5000m W ! :KEN We are now at 78, and the Group 1 is finally full !

 

 

Only 2 new countries today. We should also have Nigeria in Wrestling and Latvia in Basket. And why not St Vincent in 800m, Puerto Rico and Peru in Surfing ?

That was a really bad day today. We only gain :KEN :COL, but we also lose good chances :

 

- Peru and Costa Rica finished both 4th in Surfing

- Latvia lose their match in Basket 4x4

- the andorran kayakist lose too quickly in quarterfinals

- Wrestling wasn't as good as expected

- And Saint Vincent finished 4th in 200m 

 

 

I hope we will be more lucky tomorrow !

It's crazy that countries like Finland, Estonia and Latvia might finish the Games without a medal :yikes:

Especially Finland. Shocking. Bad games also for Portugal i think, Czechia. Let's hope we can win one gold. Estonia was doubtful before the games. 

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

It is hard to win medals for small nations this time, it appear to me like the medals are reserved only to big nations, Paris 2024 proved to me that the current Olympics are set mainly for the rich nations,

 

rich getting richer, the rest of us are here mainly as desired backdrops in the effort of showing some visually looking cool global participation, but the fact is that different conditions and especially extremely different financial/technological/material resources both in preparation and in competitions make it impossible to fight with equal weapons with the "upper" countries of this world.

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
