Egypt used to have an OK team, I wonder why they gave up trying in this sport.

 

@thepharoah is there any specific reason for that ?

 

that's so weird situation , we have good youth and junior teams but we don't have 1st team despite the fact that there're many teams care about this sport and even they bring foreign players to the league , it's like our women's handball team we have youth and junior teams but don't have a 1st team you'll never see something like that anywhere in the world except Egypt

In fact, following my logic, all sports should have 200+ teams trying to be world champions. That only happens in football, volleyball, and table tennis

Congrats to :GRE 

 

After all the talk about how this Hungarian team can win the gold... yeah, our team, our journalists and our fans needed this wakeup call.

Thank you @Vektor

 

That was a good win from us and great performance by our young goalkeeper Zerdevas. We were down 2-5 and I thought it would get ugly but luckily our team fought back. We have a lot of good players who play for top European clubs (including Olympiacos who won the Champions League for 2017-18 and second place 2019-20) but for some reason our national team always underachieves. Perhaps this is the year that we finally break through and win our first Olympic medal.

 

I doubt it though. I say that every time and we always have the inevitable choke in the quarterfinals so who knows, but definitely a good start for our boys.

Either Japan has greatly improved or we really suck right now. 

Okay, everything is right in the world again (hopefully).

What an embarrassing choke from Greece. We led Italy 6-2 after the third period and the match ended in a draw 6-6.

 

Obviously still a good result but never should've drawn from that position...

Every :RSA match is so completely pointless for both teams involved. I really hope :RSA reevaluates their stance on the African quota OR they start actually improving their teams, because this is depressing to watch at an Olympic Games.

    • Dispute over the Olympic medal stripped from US gymnast Jordan Chiles goes back to Swiss court | AP News https://share.google/s0zQiSPKNTExyWxbG   This is back in the news now...
    • and after  we got the scalp of  in a World Cup warm-up match played in  Dubai    once again, it was a late surge with the bats, finishing with a 6 by Zain Ali at the very last ball (when we needed a 4 to tie and a 5 to win the match)    final score:  165/7 (20 overs),  167/7 (20 overs);  win by 3 wickets
    • China's medal prospects   Short Track Speed Skating: This is the event with the deepest emotional ties to China's winter sports, as China's first Olympic gold medal in winter sports came from this discipline. Unsurprisingly, people have high expectations for it in this Winter Olympics. Medal prospects are mainly focused on men's individual events and the two relay events. However, considering the strong strength of William Dandjinou, I think the probability of winning gold in men's individual events is very low. Instead, the main gold medal hopes lie in the men's relay and mixed relay. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 2 golds   Freestyle Skiing: The performance of this event is crucial to China's success in this Winter Olympics. Eileen Gu remains our super star and is highly competitive in slopestyle and halfpipe. As for the big air, if I remember correctly, she hasn't competed in this event since the Beijing Winter Olympics, so it's hard for me to make a clear judgment on her performance in this individual event. China has the potential to compete for medals or even gold in all three medal events of freestyle skiing aerials. However, given the unpredictability of aerials, the results could be either disastrous or brilliant. Xu Mengtao will compete in her fifth Winter Olympics. Medals: 3-6. My guess: 3 golds; Optimistic: 4 golds   Speed Skating: Similar to the situation in Beijing, the medal hopes still lie with Gao Tingyu and Ning Zhongyan. However, Stolz has shown extremely strong dominance during the Milan Olympic cycle, so I don't think there will be any gold medals in this event. Gao Tingyu has performed excellently in the previous two Winter Olympics, and I still believe he can win a medal in the 500m. Ning Zhongyan also has the potential to win medals in the 1000m and 1500m. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 0 gold   Snowboard: Like in Beijing, Su Yiming remains the star of China's snowboarding. He has maintained a very good competitive form this season, with great chances especially in the big air event, where he will aim to defend his title. He also has the potential to win a medal in slopestyle. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Skeleton: Men's events and mixed team events are opportunities to compete for medals, with Yin Zheng being the key athlete for medal contention. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Curling: China will send both men's and women's teams to this event. Both teams have the ability to compete with high-level strong teams. I predict that either the men's or women's team will reach the top four. Medals: 0-1. My guess: 0 golds; Optimistic: 0 golds   Ski Jumping: This is still a less developed event for China, but Zeng Ping has made significant progress this season, entering the top 8 in many high-level competitions. There is a chance to compete for a medal, but it will be very difficult to achieve. If it really happens, I think it will be quite incredible. Medals: 0-1   I think other events have no chance of winning medals.   summary, Optimistic: 8 golds and 17 medals;  My guess: 5 golds and 14 medals;  Worst-case scenario: 3 golds and 11 medals.
    • we're in Italy! calm down and relax...   everything necessary will appear when it will appear, possibly at least a few hours before the action starts (but don't get mad if it's a few days after the Games are underway)   pure Italian style 
    • So tomorrow, the girls will made a protest prior to the mass start for the not-inclusion of Women Nordic Combined into the Olympics   I mean, yeah IOC and FIS have a point that the sport has so few medalled nations in the last decades, but in other hands they still keep in the olympics sports like Equestrian, diving or table tennis where even less nations medal for almost centuries now 
    • I was just doing my prediction on the other thread, and then I calculated... I had 21 Gold, 8 Silver, 15 Bronze.  Probably a little too hopeful.   Oops!  (And I didn't even think I was being too optimistic as I was filling it out...guess so...)
    • This should be included in the Olympics soon. Every single event that’s added to the program is a positive thing.
    • Ehm...   and it is here     https://www.iihf.com/en/news/71841/innsbruck_to_host_first_stop_of_the_ultimate_hocke
