I am so incredibly angry at the last bit of news out of the Dutch camp...Yuri van Gelder has left the Olympic Village yesterday, drank some alcohol and came back early in the morning. Obviously that's plain stupid, but worse: our NOC has now sent him home. He won't compete in the rings final.

I would like to apologize for the disgusting behavior or the crowd. True fans would never act like that, and I'm really ashamed of such people. Mikulak and Shirai both deserve formal apologies. As a l

I follow this sport quite closely for a number of years. One must only look at the videos from the Romanian nationals and the difference between Iordache and Ponor is clear. Iordache is not steady and

After all those years of missing out on the Olympics because of completely bizarre FIG rules, using recreational drugs (not performance enhancing stuff, but that addicting crap like cocaine) and whatever, he finally managed to go to the Olympics...he qualified for a freaking Olympic final, his lifelong dream! He had it! :facepalm:

 

How on Earth can you be so stupid to throw that away?!

Do you see any chance of possibly Olsen sneaking a bronze?

 

Well, she's in the final, so everything can happen. But Biles, Hong, Paseka, Steingruber and Chusovitina are way too far ahead in difficulty now, in my opinion.

Unbelievable!  That makes Danny Pinheiro-Rodrigues an Olympic finalist now. It looks like France was destined to be part of the Rings final, anyway, after the horrible injury of Ait Said.

To lighten things up: who do you see as main contenders on the high bar? I really enjoyed the routines of Wilson and Leyva (apart from his "fall" of course) today and since they're both in the final, that could promise a fantastic fight..

It was a joke that McKayla Maroney got silver and not gold. Get a grip, dude.

 

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? She could not land her second vault properly. The joke is she was still awarded a silver medal after counting a fall.

I'm not a fan of Wilson's routine. He has a bunch of small technical mistakes that should be more severely deducted. I have to say I'm rooting for Hambuechen because he's fought so hard for an Olympic gold medal... But I still think Zonderland will win again. My personal top 3 would be Hambuechen, Zonderland and Leyva for a medal, but we can't really count on Hambuechen and Leyva hitting their routines... Both are very inconsistent.

No, I clearly have no idea. I'm just a stupid American.

      Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains.

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
