We need to be giving this refugee weightlifter citizenship ASAP!

Oh think he was a neutral athlete not a refugee, got my made up flags confused, still offer it to him :whistle:

Sadly if we weren't going to offer it to Cindy Ngamba I don't think we're going to give it to anyone else either (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/c7v5336gm87o) :(

Sheeze, can cunningham get someone not 8ft tall in the next round please 

He gets the Ivorian who beat Muhammad in the dying seconds in Rio for gold.

 

It's a tough draw but there's a chance. Either way, he'll get a bronze match later if he doesn't do a Sinden (did his MCL apparently).

 

Edit - I say all that before realising that I'm assuming that Cisse beats the American. Which he hasn't done yet. American will probably steal it at the death...

4th round of the diving has probably put paid to any chance of a :GBR medal. Williams still with a chance in theory but will require 2 great dives and mistakes from others. Kothari would require most of the others to...well...drown.

    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
