Comedy commentary really. Still he is not as sleep inducing as Mo Sbihi is

I think that’s the first time this games we had a gold really in grasp through pretty much all of a final and lost it late.

We actually had a streak of golds, but never a proper team, only several individuals.

 

Big gold chance in the rowing now - men’s pair

But that's what I mean; they haven't capitalised on the success that fell in their laps (similar to badminton). Not even compared to the canoe slalom. Is it the same governing body?

Morgan Lake will be one of those complaining she gets left at home in the future wont she, despite doing nothing with the many chances she has been given

She is one of those who is probably helping push the team to become smaller and smaller. It be under 50 for the next worlds going by the selection standards - world athletics moving further towards to world rankings while GB hates that idea.

    • Three IOC members are excused for the 144th IOC Session, it was just announced:   Dr Gerardo WERTHEIN  Ms Hong ZHANG  Mr Yasuhiro YAMASHITA
    • aww...  was so close scoring their first historic victory over  
    • Yeah, but that was entirely expected. Nobody thought Fabris was losing it, considering the last lap was his big weapon every single time. Like in the women's 5k Beune generally starts super fast and Conijn often finishes very fast, which in the end means sometimes one is faster, sometimes the other.   Sure gold medals don't exist, by now we should all know that I think   Which is good, because the more sure a gold medal is, the less interesting it is to watch and as sports fans, I assume in the end we mostly watch to see exciting competitions.
    • Nope, "officially" is not the right world. It was a EB proposal, that need to be approve by the IOC Session.   But yeah, boxing will be in LA
    • It feels like events, der boy, events have overtaken the election on stuff like the transgender inclusion and DSD athlete issues. Even Kirsty Coventry is not holding the Bach-Adams line any more, which would have been astonishing eighteen months ago, but seems entirely predictable now - with Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing etc having now gone in a clear direction, and with the next Summer Games destined for Trumpland, that seems almost certainly not the hill anyone in the IOC will die on. I imagine the reintegration of Russia is likely to be more pressing issue - Trump will want them there, the War, one way or tother looks like it may wind down soon, but its doubtful a trustworthy anti-doping regime will really be in place in time.   The candidate with the most clarity on these issues is pretty obviously Coe. I'm not entirely certain clarity will be a benefit, and we simply don't know how much of Bach's seething hatred of Coe has been channelled into the election backstge -- is Bach now so much yeserdays man that his patrimony no longer tilts the IOC? Or does he retain loyalty through influence, or influence through loyalty?
    • The men's Olympic teams will reveal their first 6 players in June and announce the rest of the roster at the end of December
    • FIFA WC2026 qualifiers are back!!   African WCQ restart today without Congo, the FECOFOOT (Congolese Football Association) has been suspended due to a particularly serious situation of undue interference by third parties in the affairs of the organisation The Group E remain with only 4 teams.   AFC qualifiers resuming this week, with Japan will become the first nation to come through the WC 2026, and Iraq, Iran, Korea Republic and Uzbekistan are in a strong position to secure World Cup 26 tickets.   OFC fourth round will qualify directly for the WC 2026, the winner of final four (semifinals: New Caledonia vs Tahiti and New Zealand vs Fiji) and the runner-up will go to the FIFA Inter-confederation play-offs   CONMEBOL will play Matchday 13 and 14 with big matches Uruguay-argentina and Brazil-Argentina.   UEFA European Qualifiers begin without the groups involving teams in UEFA Nations League quarterfinals will be finalised after those ties in March. Only half of groups begin to play in March the other groupss start their campaigns in September.
