It's unbelievable how this sport after so many scandals, banns, sanctions, no funding, public and media bashing, athleates jumping ships to other countries, and amateurish federation, we can send some team and still get medals.

Maybe Moldova disowned her when she switched to Azerbaijan.

 

Maybe because she is ethnically, culturally and linguistically Romanian and if everything were just in history we would still be the same country. She wasn't naturalised because of sporting achievements, she already had a Romanian passport, because anyody in the territories ceded to the USSR in 1941 and 1944 who can prove that one of his /her grandparents was a Romanian citizen in 1941 or before can get RO citizenship without a citizenship test or other formalities. And guess who of the 3 countries gave her a helping hand after the doping offense. PS I don't want to open an offtopic discussion here.

our "sci-fi" eventual qualification chances received a heavy blow. our most experienced member f the team Richard Tkáč seriously injured his knee today during the morning trainig. the medical stuff rulled out his eventual start in the -77kg category... so once again we lost our best chance for OG qualification right before the competition...it´s the 3rd in this month

 

István Lévai in wrestling (meldonium), Viliam Tankó in Boxing (Injury 1 day before the competition and now Richard Tkáč (weightlifting) injury during the competition...

Boyanka Kostova decimating the competition even with an easy going, but sadly it is for the wrong country once again, but whatever...
