2024 Olympics - Day 14 (August 9)


Recommended Posts

Well Canada will match Tokyo now but for the surprise gold in men's what is going on in shotput?  OMG  This is so horrible.   I was counting on a women's shotput medal to get 25medals. That leaves Breaking, wresting ladies, 800m men and Kate Vincent  to earn a medal to get Canada 25 medals.  Just one medal will do it.  But I was counting on shotput. I feel for Sarah; such disappointment. Kind of like Damien Warner you just can explain good and bad days.  19.77m would have put her in the lead and probably guaranteed a medal.  That's what she did to qualify. Perhaps nerves?

Mitton out in last. What a disaster

It looks like she would have gone first too if she managed to stay in the circle.

I don't understand her first two throws, though. Way below her capabilities.

It's wet for everyone. Very disappointing, but we're used to that as Canadians, haha.

    • So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.   At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.   Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
