I should be a 7, but fuck it let's go for 8. The massive plus side is the medals record (64), almost twice more than in Tokyo, more that what I was expecting/hoping for (55-60). Almost every one who w

Surprise: definitely Tennis player Anna K. Schmiedlová and Skateboarder Tury

 

Heartbreak: Salkazanov and entire Shooting team

No idea, I guess yes since we have a medal. but I don´t care, winning only 1 bronze, regardless the amount of athletes we had is just embarassing and unacceptable.

No need to be a fortuneteller, I know my country, so none

Patricia Tománková in W Judo, I have my hopes on her to win a lot of major medals in the future

So many chances just wasted, a lot of flops and a A LOT of fourths.  However, record number of medals + golds in a non-boycotted games.

 

2. What were the surprises and heartbreaks ?

Heartbreaks: Pierce Lepage out before the games, Damian Warner no heighting in the pole vault, Sarah Mitton last in women's shot put,  Men's basketball, Women's 3x3, track cycling team performance, All the fourths.

Surprises: First ever medal in fencing, medal for Alysha Newman.

 

3.Was your country's goal achieved? 

There was no goal, but unofficially the Canadian government wanted a top 10 overall medals performance (we were 11th).

 

4. Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? 

Fencing 

 

5. Who could be some the potential star for your country in LA?

Summer Mcintosh, if not already a star

1  8/10 Picked up a few medals every single day so always something to celebrate. Would have liked a few more Gold and felt unlucky to miss out on a few events but still cant complain

 

2 Surprises: Toby Roberts Sport Climbing Gold.  First ever Medal in Artistic Swimming

Heartbreaks: Beth Shriever flopping in BMX final. Mens Hockey teams Penalty loss to India. Max Whitlock retiring empty handed

 

3 We were targeting between 50-70 medals and came away with 65. Likely expecting more Gold so there will be questions asked in certain areas but overall should be satisfied

 

4. Sport Climbing definitely should be as theres potential for more success.

 

5. Louie Hinchcliffe in Athletics. Emma Finucane in Track Cycling Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix in Diving.  Sky Brown in Skateboarding and possibly Surfing. Toby Roberts and Erin McNeice in Sport Climbing. Caden Cunningham in Taekwondo  to name but a few who can kick on from Paris

Sure it always can be worse but we have never been lower, one gold. Terrible atmosphere, conflicts athletes - feds, frustration, most crying etc. Desperate picture. Like amateur country. And all without Russia and Belarus. Very few athletes for future hopes. For many Poles the most important was that Szeremeta kicks balls of Taipei boxer. I'm not used to such bad vision of Poland. We have regressed to sth like early 50s after WWII. Journalists are depresed with all they had seen. If we want to get better as a nation...lot of work ahaed of us. What a pity for Włodarczyk, 4cm from dream end of her story. Great games with rather sad polish experience. Szeremeta and Pikulik +. Sprint canoe the worst. Look for Troscianka in decathlon, Roch Krukowski in JT. But we don't have them too many. From here maybe Choluj in wrestling.

1. I'd say a 6

 

2. Surprises:

- Nina Christen not performing, but two other shooters stepping in her shoes to defend her medals from Tokyo. Especially Chiara Leone who only qualified at the last moment by winning the European Championships after forgetting her shooting equipment at home and her parents had to drive 14 hours to Croatia to deliver it to her.

- Julie Derron getting a perfect day to continue our amazing performances in the triathlon.

- The Men's gymnastics team reaching the finals again and even individually performing really well.

 

Heartbreaks:

- Zero medals in Mountain Bike only for the second olympics since it's introduction.

- All the fourth places. We had 9 (10 if you count losing the Judo bronze match), which is more than we got medals total. Especially the three fourth places in athletics hurt, since it's been so long since we've won a medal in athletics.

- The Equestrian jumping team missing out on the finals, while being named as one of the favourites. At least Steve Guerdat redeemed himself in the individual event.

- Hüberli/Brunner missing out on the Beachvolleyball finals after haven a match ball.

- Morgane Métraux absolutely failing in the last day of golf, after being in first place at the end of days 2 and 3.

 

3. Our olympic committee set a goal of 7 medals, which was achieved. I just wished it would have been one or two more golds instead of all the bronze.

 

4. Not sure. Possibly shooting and maybe Modern Pentathlon, since we finally had two competitors again, after many olympics without one.

 

5. I'm not knowledgable enough to answer this

I would give Hungary a 7. We did pretty well given the current level of our athletes.

 

2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks ?

 

Márton winning gold in taekwondo, the girls overperforming in the kayak events after a very lackluster 3 years, Muhari winning bronze in women's epee after an almost unprecedent qualification, Major winning bronze in shooting after many years of disappointment in the discipline. As you can tell, we had many good surprises.

 

As for the disappointments... the boys flopping in pentathlon despite the 1-2 at the Worlds, Muszukajev not even winning a medal in wrestling and obviously the fact that we didn't win a single gold medal in Canoe Sprint for the first time since 1976.

 

3.Was your country's goal achieved? 

 

Personally I expeted 5 gold medals and 16 total medals. We got 6 gold medals and 19 total medals. I think we achieved what we came for. 

 

4. Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? 

 

 

I think the level of investment won't change, maybe with the exception of taekwondo, we might see a surge there now that we got an Olympic champion. 

 

5. Who could be some the potential star for your country in LA?

 

The Márton twins, one of them already won in Paris. Maybe Blanka Vas? She must win that medal eventually. Bettina Fábián is also very talented in open water swimming.

Judo was also pretty disappointing, besides Deguchi.

      Karate obviously has lots of problems with officiating. and WKF itself is not a great organization either (most of their rule changes are dumb) but the scoring basic is very simple with only 1 or 2 rare situations.    I know in past IOC (under previous IOC presidents not the current dictator) asked WKF to find a solution, using helmets or something like that to avoid situation like the last Olympic final. and I remember WKF used it for few tournaments around 2000 (1998 Asian Games for example) but nobody (specially the athletes) didn't like it, they dropped the idea.   I totally understand Kata looks very very boring, (as boring as Surfing in my opinion) but that's the heart of karate. even if WKF is allowed to pick 1 event for the Olympics, they will pick Kata  (team kata is much better though)

      Cross-country is a long standing WA ask. Handball was never going to get Beach, Gymnastics would defo want tumbling, but possibly prefer double mini or trampoline synchro to acrobatic. High diving SHOULD get in and Archery would be better looking at field events, but may be satisfied with the five it has.

      Worth noting that MMA was once more or less known as 'no holds barred', the most brutal form of combat sport....but almost immediately, certain holds and techniques were barred! Eye gouging, fishhooking and, more important for this discussion "small joint manipulation" - i.e torture submissions based on breaking fingers and toes. Holds that work in te real world...but are unacceptable in the sport. Any martial art that becomes a sport compromises - what do you think boxing gloves are?   My problem with karate is following the scoring and understanding what scores and what doesn't. The action itself looks interesting, but its hard to read a context.   Under no circumstances whatsoever should we see fierce growling and staring at invisible people - Kata - ever return to the games - the only event more shambolic that B-girl Raygun. What next, Haka?

      I can understand if they don’t have the multi-events and the walks on the athletic programme, but no javelin?

      That was never a controversy for anybody who has watched this sport for an hour.   in Judo you can win by strangulation or something but you can't break the neck I assume.  that's the same with kicking (or punching) to the head in Karate, you can kick but you can't kick with maximum force. that's the first thing they teach you in Karate. the very first thing.

      I have now increased the width of the view so there is more space in the right and left borders.   Table with width 1000px are still too wide   Nation1 Jury Members Artist Song Video Voted   Argentina     La Guitarra -   Brazil     Meu Abrigo   but it also depends on the size of your screen and of your font. If a table is too wide you can zoom out (ctrl+mouse wheel) and see the missing columns in the right. On my screen, a table with width 900px and zoom 100% works fine:     Nation2 Jury Members Artist Song Video Voted   Argentina     La Guitarra -   Brazil     Meu Abrigo

      The judging systems for kata and breakdancing were actually both completely changed specifically for the Olympics, so they were both as old as one another.   And karate might have had many decades of development but that doesn’t mean the end product was any good as a TV sport, and it also had arguably the most controversial officiating decision of the entire Tokyo Olympics.
