my non politically correct POV :popcorn: :rolleyes: :whistle:

 

1.Angela Carini's farce vs :ALG Imane Khelif in women's boxing

2.big time robberies in that farce named olympic boxing

3.Organizers showing the most indecent lack of respect for the Olympic Games, Sports in general, Italy, Catholic Religion, world's most important artistic masterpieces, many Heads of Foreign States in that farce known as the Opening Ceremony

4.the farce in the :ARG vs :MAR men's football game

5.repeated shameful refereeing/judging in Fencing and Judo

6.the athletes getting sick after swimming in the river Seine in Triathlon and Open Water Swimming

7.the men's Waterpolo scandal (:ITA vs :HUN or rather the whole FINA: refs, judges, officials, politicians -Italian NOC President Malagò included)

8.the carrot eaten by the rabbit AKA, as expected, Jannik Sinner pulling out of the men's Tennis tournaments just before the start of the Games after saying for months (years) he wouldn't do it once again like in 2021

9.the ridiculous farce of the Australian breakdancer

10.Claudia Mancinelli 

Claudia Mancinelli la vera star delle Olimpiadi: «Non seguo molto i social,  all'inizio subimmo molte critiche» - ilNapolista

Claudia Mancinelli: «A 18 anni lasciai la ritmica, ho lavorato anche a  Hollywood. Il video virale alle Olimpiadi? Ero concentratissima per Sofia»  | Corriere.it

From INTERNATIONAL perspective - TEN is not enough. So it will take some time to make a list for that... Stay tuned.

 

From POLISH perspective (early thoughts):

 

10. TRIATHLON - W Individual - Roksana Słupek 13th place because I think it was a really really good result for this underdog athlete and she was celebrating this nicely while crossing the finish line

 

9. ATHLETICS - W Hammer Throw - Anita Włodarczyk 4th, she lost bronze by 4cm but still it was a very sweet 4th place because we got to know SHE CAN DO IT still, she's not done yet!

 

8. TENNIS - W Singles - Iga Świątek QF win vs Danielle Collins because she advanced to Last 4 and a medal was almost certain but... - it's bitter-sweet actually because Collins retired and some shitshow happened because of that and what Collins said and how she behaved, all that unnecessary drama... and then THE WORST Paris moment was next: SF lost to Zheng Qinwen

 

7. ROWING - M Quadruple Sculls - bronze

 

6. FENCING - W Team Epee - bronze medal vs CHN 32-31 - Aleksandra Jarecka celebration after last point went viral here... and fencing venue was ICONIC

 

5. CANOE SLALOM - W K1 - Klaudia Zwolińska silver medal, a first medal for Poland in each olympics is always sth special

 

4. SPORT CLIMBING - W Speed - Aleksandra Mirosław Gold - our only Gold in Paris, damn it

 

3. VOLLEYBALL - M Tournament - quarterfinal: POL-SLO 3-1 - cause as you know we lost QFs in 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2021...

 

2. VOLLEYBALL - M Tournament - semifinal: POL-USA 3-2 win coming back from 1-2 and 14-25 in set 3!!! (remontada)

 

1. ATHLETICS - W 400m - Natalia Kaczmarek bronze because I cherished this medal the most - a medal in a classic running event

From international perspective Ten is not enough, like i said.

 

But let's do it this way.


What i watched and what i liked:

 

DAYS -2, -1, 0

 

1. RUGBY SEVENS - M Tournament - very entertaining, stadium full of people, i was rooting for Team Fiji. I usually watch Rugby World Cup only but i really liked this thing

2. RUGBY SEVENS - W Tournament - less entertaining than Men's tournament, but i was rooting for team US because i think Ilona Maher instagram content is really funny

3. Daria Saville instagram content straight from the vilage was really good, team Aussie coffee house was my fav

4. OPENING CEREMONY - I want to say it loudly. I LIKED IT A LOT. The only thing i didn't like was THE WEATHER. If the weather was better, this boat parade would be much more entertaining. I was worried about safety issues, but it turned out my disbelief in the professionalism of French police etc. was not good THIS TIME.

My fav moments:

Aya Nakamura cause i listen to her on Spotify constantly

Passarelle Debilly section - yes, i liked it. I may even loved it. I am anything but a religious person so it wasn't controversial to me personally. I understand some people might have been offended but for me - personally - as your Raffa - it was VERY REFRESHING, VERY ENTERTAINING. The only bad thing was the weather. Maybe Phillippe Katerine as Blue Dionysys in the end wasn't that funny but all what happened before in this section was supercool imo.

Dancers on the barge, they were just great.

Celine Dion performance - at first, i didn't like it that much. But it gets better and better after every next watching on YT.

And i was watching it all on France 2 TV to get the mood so i luckily avoided our Polish TV - "Je suis Babiarz" controversy.

 

DAY 1 coming up next

    • the junior panam were delayed to August 9-23
    • That’s good news. There’s been no mention of the team in the local papers at all. If they go, I think they’ll be the first Philippine athletes to represent the country in a team event at the World Games.
    • No, Lake Placid won the bid to be the back-up host over St Moritz and Igls. I don’t believe any other track expressed interest.
    • Assuming there’s streaming, I think I’ll be watching the Asian Winter Games and the World Games 
    • With the 2024 Bolivarian Games done and dusted, I thought it'd be a good time to look at next year's slate of international multi-sport games. Here's what I have written down on my personal schedule:   January 13 January 23 Winter University Games February 6 February 17 Invictus Games February 7 February 14 Asian Winter Games February 9 February 16 Winter EYOF March 23 March 30 CISM Winter World Games May 17 May 30 World Masters Games May 26 May 31 Games of Small States of Europe June 27 July 6 World Police and Fire Games June 29 July 9 Pacific Mini Games July 11 July 20 Junior Pan American Games July 12 July 18 Island Games July 16 July 27 Summer University Games July 20 July 26 Summer EYOF August 7 August 17 The World Games October 18 October 30 Central American Games November 15 November 26 Summer Deaflympics December 9 December 20 SEA Games TBC TBC Islamic Solidarity Games TBC TBC Asian Youth Games   I'm not sure about the status of the Caribbean Games and Central American and Caribbean Beach Games, so those might eventually find a spot on the calendar as well (I just haven't seen anything confirmed yet.)
    • That's basically the worst way you could call pictograms. Who cares about (solid) okay pictograms ? They will be forgotten the day after.
    • already snagged one of The World Games 2025 quota places @PHI2019: https://floorball.sport/2024/12/10/philippines-qualify-for-the-world-games-2025/
    • and of course we can still go for some more shopping in the AHL and the main European Leagues (where a few good players with Italian heritage play)...
    • looking at Today's NHL Rosters, this is a list of player that surely would be eligible to play for  (even if many of them have already played at the World Champs/Olympics for  /  in the past, sometime recent past)   Forwards   Adam Fantilli (Columbus) Kyle Palmieri (NY Islanders) Noel Acciari (Pittsburgh) Philip Tomasino (Pittsburgh) Andrew Mangiapane (Washington) Sonny Milano (Washington) Joe Veleno (Detroit) Michael Pezzetta (Montreal) Michael Amadio (Ottawa) Anthony Cirelli (Tampa Bay) Max Domi (Toronto) Max Pacioretty (Toronto) Tyler Bertuzzi (Chicago) Ryan Donato (Chicago) Nick Foligno (Chicago) Matt Boldy (Minnesota) Marcus Foligno (Minnesota) Luke Evangelista (Nashville) Michael Carcone (Utah) Matias Maccelli (Utah) Alex Iafallo (Winnipeg) Cole Perfetti (Winnipeg) Gabriel Vilardi (Winnipeg) Robby Fabbri (Anaheim) Frank Vatrano (Anaheim) Troy Terry (Anaheim) ??? Matt Coronato (Calgary) Anthony Mantha (Calgary) Macklin Celebrini (San Josè) Ty Dellandrea (San Josè) Tyler Toffoli (San Josè)   D-Men   Dante Fabbro (Columbus) Brett Pesce (New Jersey) Victor Mancini (NY Rangers) Brandon Carlo (Boston) Ben Chiarot (Detroit) Steven Santini (Tampa Bay) Mathew Dumba (Dallas) Nick Leddy (St.Louis) Robert Bortuzzo (Utah) Sean Durzi (Utah) Alec Regula (Edmonton) Cody Ceci (San Josè) Mario Ferraro (San Josè) Alex Pietrangelo (Las Vegas)   Goalies   Drew Commesso (Chicago) Joel Hofer (St.Louis) ???   but I'm pretty sure that there are a few more with Italian heritage coming from their moms and/or wives (Canadiens' Josh Anderson, for instance)...
    • Day 6 Results - 12.12.2024   Play-Offs Quarterfinals   -   5-2 -   9-1    9-12th Place Semifinals   -   3-6 -   2-10   13th Place Match   -   6-4   15th Place Match   -   6-9
