For the last match (Venezuela vs Costa Rica), most people left, so we moved for nicer seats and maybe some of you saw us on TV :lol:

 

Sadly I guess I was to angry at Costa Rican performance to notice :p

Report about Days 8, 9 and 10 coming up...

 

Saturday was a pretty good day regarding the climate with a sunny but not smouldering day. Morning started with a Golf session which was nice, but I must confess I don't really understand this sport (nothing against it, just that I need to watch more ESPN to maybe understand the rules :p). Nice thing was some foreigners making some compliments to the course, saying that it was much better than they thought it would be. Course is beautiful, and I walked for the most of it. Nice impression of the sport, even without the stars. Later, I went to the Olympic Park (which is kinda close to Golf) and watched some Basketball with Brazil losing another match. Rest of the day was free and I went to the Olympic Boulevard. It's basically a carnival, so not really my thing, althought it was nice to see the Olympic flame.

 

 

On Sunday, I didn't have any sport session, so I went to one of the most beautiful places in Rio: the Botanical Garden. I spent some good hours there but I could easily spent an entire day - it's just so beautiful and full of life! Kind of freaked out in the middle of the jungle knowing that Brazil had just won two medals in Gymnastics. Because it is close to the Lagoa, I took the rest of the afternoon to visit Club France. Enjoyed the food, which was basically the best thing about the place, but there's other activities - also you can buy things from France's uniforms kit, but Lacoste clothes aren't really in my budget...

 

 

Monday started with the hottest day in Rio so far... like, really hot! I can't complain since I asked for it, but it was a little too much waiting 2 freaking hours at the beach until the end of Women's Marathon Swimming. Again @Felipe was there (with a friend of ours), and he was one of the fans that saw something "strange" about the finish for Silver. I decided to stay to the medal ceremony and of course was very happy knowing that Poliana had won Bronze. Great thing about this session: Poliana herself didn't know she had won a medal, and the fans (me included) "informed" her after the race. Enjoyed Copacabana a little bit and met another internet friend, then went to the Olympic Park, almost melting on the way to the Future Arena :red:. Nice Handball session with France vs Denmark and Brazil vs Sweden (not a very excting match). I heard that the climate changed drastically during the session, which included strong winds all over Rio, but the return to the apartment was calm.

 

 

This Tuesday, Women's Football semifinal in Maracanã, and on Wednesday, Beach Volleyball finals. :fingers:

I'm a little tired to write detailed reports about the last three days and I also they wouldn't be so interesting since I didn't went to many sport events these days - it was great to finally go to Maracanã even though our team lost. I took the time to visit some of the best Rio spots and also buy some things. This Thursday was my last day on Olympic Park (with the Women's Handball semifinal), which is sad but I guess all good things come to an end. This Friday will be my last day in Deodoro and at the weekend I will enjoy another Rio spots.

Olympic Games was really fun!
I visited 9 competitions. All of them was with really nice atmosphere. Especially I would like to say about three of them.
1. Except my schedule which I posted early I was at the men's fencing team foil finals. And I caught Russian gold medal! Cool!:champion:
2. Russia - Argentina in women's handball. Brazilians supported Russian team because it played vs. Argentina. I don't think that our team had support like this before. This was fantastic!:thumbup:
3. Russia - Brazil in women's voleyball. I was sitting in isolated 314 block under the roof of Maracanazinho. I was alone Russian in that sector. Around me was about 50 Brazilians and I supported Russian team. Very unusual and funny experience.:lol:

Woah woah woah! What a great experience it was! I'm starting to save up for Tokyo :clap:

 

Sorry guys was so disconnected and the really long travels between venues and my accommodation didn't give me an opportunity to check this forum out. Am back home and will post detailed records of my experience once I am over my jet-lag :)

    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
