Vektor 3,195 Posted July 30, 2021 #381 Share Posted July 30, 2021 None of Rio's Top3 is on the podium in women's eight, there sure is a big change in this event. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time that happened? 1980, actually 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!

El Greco 21 11 Posted July 30, 2021 #384 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Stefanos Ntouskos said before the Games that he considered early retirement (he is 24) because he is studying (medicine I think) and he doesn't have real help, he cannot work like a professional, as other athletes from the other countries do. So he is quite an example, and hopefully he will keep fighting with more support now. Fantastic race!!! We are on the medal table at last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,562 Posted July 30, 2021 #386 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Rowing was held since 1900. There have been three Olympics where the US didn't participate (obviously 1980, but also two early ones), but other than those, they have always won at least one medal in every Olympics. dcro 1 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!

That is, unless they create a surprise in the men's eights. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agger 1,591 Posted July 30, 2021 #389 Share Posted July 30, 2021 1 medal favorite and 2 outsiders. None of them got a medal. Meanwhile the 4th boat that nobody counted on got the medal. I feel like I should be satisfied, but really the rowing has been a disappointment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted July 30, 2021 #390 Share Posted July 30, 2021 China losing gold medals in table tennis, badminton and weightlifting, Italy is potentially missing out on a gold in fencing, and now the US not winning any medals in rowing AND Great Britain maybe not winning any gold medals.... Please, Tokyo2020, spare us in Canoe Sprint. pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
