wont affect us but china are making a right mess of high bar

Might it make us fourth and not fifth?

 

Just showed also a medal was there for the taking but they didn’t quite deliver on the promise qualifying showed.  A failure in my eyes.

 But we did drop from a relatively comfortable third in qualifying. I was optimistic about getting a bronze here. 
 

Let’s hope for a swimming medal or two this evening.

No chance. 
 

Sadly we have gone backwards in this event - we would have medalled in Rio and Tokyo if Russia had been banned. 
 

 

I think 4th to 4th isn't that bad. The story is :USA really strong.

As now we come across the world

Let all the flags of every land

Slightly off topic, but looking back getting more golds than China in 2016 was absolutely ridiculous. Still think about it sometimes. 

Oh man - you've just fed the troll. I'd give it 10-15 minutes before he's launching into a diatribe about Chinese doping and how GB athletes will be protesting if they have to share a podium.

At least the USA are barely in the men’s apparatus finals. Through China will have a point to prove as well

Something I've felt about these Games so far: the atmosphere looks electric. Marchand, and now this among the highlights. "USA! USA! USA!" for a bronze in gymnastics.

As now we come across the world

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.  In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end.

      Men's Football UEFA European Champions League 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

      GSOC Kioti National (I usually determine if I’m watching right before), NHL/NBA/NFL (same teams as usual), club season volleyball, BPT Challenge Nuvali, UCI Track Cycling Nations League, and winter sports galore    Wednesday (November 27) 4:30 PM: NHL - Canucks v. Penguins 7:00 PM: NBA - Warriors v. Thunder   Thursday (November 28) 8:30 AM: Club Volleyball - Vakif v.

Suns (maybe not…) 9:00 PM: FIS Freestyle Skiing Big Air WC Beijing    Confused because CBC Sports says it starts a hour later than on the FIS site?

Wild 7:00 PM: NBA - Warriors v. Nuggets (split screen, but hoping it gets delayed due to another game going to OT or ending late)   Wednesday (December 4) 2:00 AM: BPT Finals Doha - Day 1

      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
