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

It looks like the Women's Artistic Gymnastics are being judged EXTREMELY unfairly with US gymnasts in Individual All-Around placing 1st and 2nd while other teams, esp. China and Russia, are being underscored and overlooked. Disgusting! We should raise our voices for justice! Keep Rio free of politics!

 

As I was watching the Women's Team Artistic Gymnastics final on August 10th, I noted that NONE of the judges were Asian, and China placed 3rd. Oh public, open your eyes! What is happening to the world? Earlier, shameless game of politics with Russia (state-sponsored doping and whatnot... even if true, how is it possible to notify an entire country that it can participate less than a month before Olympics?) Please, let us stand together and open the world's eyes to the huge injustice done non-American allies.

Could you give some actual examples, based on actual facts, exact routines that should have been scored higher (and why and how) etc? :) 

 

That'd help a lot more than just shouting "omg America is rigging everything and omg Asian nations are being screwed".

Did anyone else notice the horrible behaviour of the (Brazilian) people in the stadium during the men's floor final? It truly saddened me...I really wanted Hypolito to win a medal in front of his home crowd, but this was some of the most pathetic, horrible crowd I have ever seen in a non-team sport event.. 

 

Edit: Glad to see it wasn't just me or non-Brazilians who thought this way :p

What a day! Two medals for Brazil, one medal for Switzerland and one medal for Germany! 

But the crowd really made me feel ashamed of being Brazilian. Such rude, disgusting people. 

How much did Dipa lose with her ass touching the floor btw? I read 1 full point somewhere...surely it wasn't that much? That would have given her the gold if she had made that then :yikes:

It was utterly disgusting in my opinion. Huge roar when Brazilian rivals make mistakes (and during their performances too!)...

Yeah I saw it too and it was awful to see. Those gymnasts have been training for years for that one moment, that made me so angry :mad:

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.

      Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.

      No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
