the fact that 32 european nations won medals but SVk not is just ... don´t even know how to describe this shame. great 33rd position in the medal table with Andorra, Gibraltar and Malta...and Romania at least we are not the only one :lol:

 

We can grieve together, my Eastern European brother :d

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?

I was having in mind a reply from "Eurotrip"  - "OMG this is Bratislava; we're in Eastern Europe" :d

And about the event itself, it has from my point of view been very good. Having the qualifications at the Museumspleijn worked very well and should be considered for the future (I know that the idea of having and event outside the stadium isn't completely new, but I believe it was the first time in a major championship).

It was easy getting into the stadium and we quickly got into the area. The food was decent and the medal plaza was great. The only two negatives for me were the very small a amount of merchandise and the terrible seats in the stadium (man, they were unconfortable). Possibly, the speakers could have been a bit less dutch. I don't mind that they speak some dutch, but I did sometimes feel that I missed something because I didn't understand what was said, This focus on the host country also meant extra focus on some events, which I personally feel sad about (I think all events should be equal when it comes to the "official" point of view.

It was a pleasure and I hope I will be back at some athletics championships in the near future.

Trachtenberg is cute but has no tits whatsoever

    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)
