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. :lol:

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...

    • So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.   At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.   Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
