Heh, not so fast

 

He won the voting and received the flag today from the President, but due to his schedule in Rio his coach already said he won't be at the Opening Ceremony. Ibarguen is expected to step in since she placed second.

ok, I added a warning behind his name, so we can count him as unofficial. when you(we)´ll have something new about how this case will develop, so we´ll be able to update it :)

Agreed. There are rumours she might refuse. Pajon already said she wanted someone else because she already did it in London. So there's a big chance that after over 200k votes the flagbearer ends up being Gaviria who only got a little over 9k LOL. Huge mess.

why not Nairo or Yuri?

 

btw will James go?

 

Nairo wasn't on the selected 7. Back then no one knew if he would go. The road race is the morning after so it would be the same issue as with Jossimar. Yuri was among the 7, and I'd love it it she gets it (same as with any of the others).

 

Nope. Back in May it was announced James would only go to Copa. Teo and Falcao has publicly said they'd go tho. I don't know about Monaco but if Sporting doesn't want to give permission to the Portuguese I imagine they'd be less inclined to give it to Teo even tho his grandma died last week and he's claiming she asked him to go to the Olympics on her deathbed (This is not a joke, I swear)

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
