When he was 10 months old, he hit a pan with boiling oil and it fell over his head and shoulders. He was hospitalized for months. Also, the last time that a Brazilian individual won a medal on track at the Olympics was in 1988, so he broke a long lasting curse for us. First Dutch athletics gold since 1992, first Brazilian track medal since 1988....I'm satisfied with this week so far thiago_simoes and Belle 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I know this Mixed relay is brand new event, not very prestigious, not very relevant with US and some other teams in their B squads But still... If you can't get what you want, be happy with what is available.... But waiting for Dobek in tomorrow 800 final. If he could medal there, that would be a track medal in one of the really serious events... heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But waiting for this 800 final so much now. Looks like Dobek and his coach knew what results are coming in 400 hurdles and chose to switch to 800. I hope tomorrow we will see it was a right decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess i should have said it as well, having some luck would be welcomed for us in these final few days. Hey, I never said it is the worst Olympics, nothing can beat London. However, I know very well we have gazillion of different problems in our sport, overall we see the huge decline and basically behind Vlhová (and still at some point Sagan) we can not travel to the Olympics with any extreme expectations. any single medal is something fantastic for us, we thanks to circumstances won 3 here which is already stunning. The only reel disappointement was the M C1 Canoe Slalom, not winning medal for the first time in our history is still hard to swallow... Anyway, this is still nothing for ordinary slovaks, the main event for us all will be at the end of the month at the Ice Hockey Olympic fianl qualifier. Man if we´ll fail there...I don´t know what will happen in this country pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
