I am very sorry for the Netherlands, they deserved to be in Rio. Its very interesting that home teams in olympic team sports always seem to underperform this year ...

Netherlands didnt qualify in womens football or womens water polo

Germany didnt qualify in mens volleyball

Turkey didnt qualify in womens volleyball

Poland didnt qualify in mens handball

...

At least Poland in mens handball, Turkey in womens volleyball and Netherlands in womens water polo should have qualified.

Canada played really good, i never thought that they would come that close to qualify!

 

I dont think that we can qualify in mens water polo. For some reason we always loose against Romania and Russia also should be too strong.

The ONLY positive thing is :ITA Women's :clap: are at OG. Today played a very bad game, won  maybe for the experience of our team.

About referees influences............. maybe in waterpolo Italy have "more power" (compared to other sports....) but if say that we go at OG for "help" is a joke :wacko:

 

The really shame are these "qualifications tournament" (not only in Waterpolo) with improbable format or weak teams .......

How is possible a match decisive for OG finished 19-0? :thumbup:

 

I'm sorry for :GRE and :NED  that are out but not all European teams can qualify.

Did you notice it's exactly same teams as women's water polo in london? only difference is the home team.....

Really? Very interesting! I dont think that its a good sign for womens water polo ...

It would be interesting to know if its the same in other team sports.

Men's wp will probably be the same with the exception of Japan (x KAZ). In all other team sports events we are already assured of at least one different team (excluding the host quota).

You are very quick, great work! :yes

I think i will also look up the situation in fencing concerning team events and maybe also relays in swimming/athletics or teams in track cycling (sprint, team pursuit).

The biggest differences will be in (naturally, due to being a youth tournament) Men's Football. Only 5 teams will be making a return (BRA, HON, MEX, JPN, KOR).

    • She's quite well-known in the world of alpine skiing, and besides, she's had several serious injuries and always returned to a high level. Now, for me, she has a chance to win a medal in the giant slalom on OG.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately show the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
