Romanian flag bearer will be Catalina Ponor (Artistic-gymnstics), Romanian Olympic Comittee announced today. That means Larisa Iordache won't go to Rio, our comittee voting for Ponor to be our represent in artistic-gymnastics.

That's wonderful news; muie dinamo!

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Can't believe I'm just knowing this today! (i was out of Portugal during June)

I'm happy for him but I would prefer a flag bearer from the Sprint Canoe team, they're the ones that have been done an amazing work in the past years! (and won our ONLY medal in London...)

Maybe they won't be in Rio for the Opening? Anyway, sprint canoeing is late in the program.

So what? Nelson Evora was our flag-bearer on 2008 and he's a triple jumper (which, just like all athletics, was late in the program). And he actually won a gold medal back them (our only 4th Gold medal ever :))

 

I think is a nice gest as João Rodrigues is on his 6th olympics (:yikes:), and he'll probably retire, but I still think Fernando Pimenta (Silver in London 2012 and bronze in last year worlds) would be a better choice.

Well, some of our athletes won't be in Rio for the Opening. That's why Sandra Perković for example couldn't have been chosen for a flag bearer.

      Looks like it was a 'joke' by some online magazine? I can't imagine the actual Metallica was involved in it, that would suck so bad. Worst April Fool's joke I've seen.

      Playa del Carmen Elite16   Women’s Tournament Gold-  Carol Solberg/Rebecca Cavalcanti Silver-  Terese Cannon/Megan Kraft Bronze-  Kristen Nuss/Taryn Brasher   Shoutout to my new favourite pairing of Hüberli/Kernen, who have backed up their silver at the Yucatán Challenge by recording a quarterfinal finish here by defeating Olympic Champions  Duda/Ana Patricia in straight sets in the round of 12 (to be fair, they looked off all event long, but they also beat Nuss/Brasher). This team definitely has what it takes to be a top 5 team and consistently contending for medals. First time watching Kernen play, all I can say is how is she that good at only 19? She’s gonna be a star in the future.    Men’s Tournament Gold-  Noslen Diaz/Jorge Alayo  Silver-  Tomas Capogrosso/Nicolas Capogrosso  Bronze-  Chaim Schalk/James Shaw    Schalk/Shaw defeated Olympic champions  Ahman/Hellvig in the quarterfinals   Full Results

      So I was watching a replay of China-Germany in between Canada’s game against Sweden and this one against Italy and… it seems like China cheated during it which could’ve been critical in them winning the match?    During the 1st end, Xu with his last rock had an easy hit for the single against three German stones. One of the sweepers for China (I can’t tell which one, this team is quite new to me) “accidentally” kicked their own stone, which redirected one of their own stones into the rings, and Germany only got the steal of 2. HIS FUCKING FOOT IS TOUCHING THE ROCK   Now after, Team Xu was claiming that the stone was picked (it was not) and Muskatewitz was arguing that it couldn’t possibly have been picked. China wouldn’t admit it, and they ended up winning the game 10-9. BOO.    Hope these cheaters don’t qualify for the Olympics.

      Edin usually has mediocre seasons though (that being said this has been worse than usual), then really starts to show up for Worlds. He’s only won 4 GSOC events in his career.     They’re at a 4-2 record at the moment, so seems to be the case again. Plus, they played really well in their loss to Canada.

      I'm in tears, finally I have access after months. For some reason I can only enter the site from my phone. Surely it must be a problem with my home internet connection.
