Oh damn, they were all serious contenders? I didn't count Zonderland as such because of his past year, I had Deurloo significantly higher in mind than him :p 

 

Sad for Uchimura by the way, basically the king of the sport for so long, but now the Olympics in his home country are just too late...

Zonderland's difficulty is very high. But his execution was far from great, despite, as you mentioned, him hitting the routine. However, he has lots and lots of small/medium technical deductions in every skill, what made his score go downhill.

 

Uchimura will have a final chance to finish his career on a high note because the World Championships will take place in Japan this year, but I don't know if he will even be motivated to attend.

I've been waiting 17 years for this moment. I still can't believe this is not a dream, and I can't stop crying.

I've tried my best to look at this competition from a neutral perspective. I have to say I'm surprised with a silver medal for Rebeca. She didn't lose the gold medal; she earned the silver medal. The

Zonderland was doubting right after the competition, but has made up his mind now: he is calling it a career and won't compete in the world championships, so that's that. He will definitely go down in Dutch sports history as one of the greats :)

Milad Karimi from Kazakhstan made it to the finals in two apparatus.

 

he has an Iranian father (and a Kazakh mother) few years ago his dad really wanted him to represent Iran, he came here and talked with our Gymnastics federation in two different times. it didn't work out and our federation eventually said "he is not really good enough"

 

so the guy who according to our so-called experts wasn't good enough to make our Gymnastics team (which is very poor) is now in the Olympic final :lol:

I get it that it was a HUGE mistake to dismiss Karimi, but Iran's current gymnasts are anything but "very poor".

In fact, I expect Iran to win a medal at the World Championships this year. Maybe even two: one on the pommel horse and another one on rings.

my point is even 4 years ago he was better than our entire team, he is an all-rounder while those few guys we have are only focusing on one or two events. and as you know it's just really hard to qualify for the Olympics for apparatus specialists. they dismissed him like he is just another below average gymnast we already have.

 

that's very interesting, I didn't even know we will have a World Championship later this year. I didn't hear from Keikha since he failed to qualify. I hope they are seriously training but our gymnastics federation is in kind of trouble. FIG might even suspends our federation. the former GYM president was accused of stealing money (still nothing proved) and she wasn't allowed to run for another 4 years term. FIG found it government's interference and they postponed the election to find a solution with FIG. (which wants that lady to continue in her position) so right now we don't have a proper gymnastics federation and in middle of the Olympics nobody cares about it, also we will have a new "government" in office in 12 days which will postpone everything for a good amount of time.

 

so I'm not sure if Iran even participates in the World Championships, but a world medal in this sport will be HUGE, since I was a kid everybody was talking about "we have to take Gymnastics (and Swimming) more seriously" and they are still talking about it :d just talking of course.

Women's qualification is underway and it looks like Japan is getting a major home nation boost in scores. They're not really scoring HUGE numbers because this team is mediocre at best, but for what they have presented so far, their scores are slightly higher than they should have been. It's fairly common in this sport, though, unfortunately.

Well, even with a little help from the judges, Japan still finishes behind Italy. Italy had a nightmarish pre-Olympics season but still managed to pull ahead of Japan. Well done!

      Lasting 2 Weeks and including 24 sports    I bet Beach Sepaktakraw(including their favourite Chinlone, Hoop), Water Skiing, Arnis, Floorball, Wushu, Weightlifting, Taekwondo, Underwater Hockey, Boxing and a few martial arts (Kickboxing/Muay Thai etc)   Obstacle Racing also should make the cut.

      Oops. I must have misunderstood. I could have sworn I saw her jogging in a field of other men. I assumed she had caught up to some of the slower men. (I admittedly wasn't watching closely.)

      This came out on the official website yesterday. Updated list of events and competition schedules in Japanese.   Padel and Teqball are on the schedules. Looks like two events for Padel and five for Teqball.   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会競技プログラム.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会デイリースケジュール.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会セッションスケジュール.pdf   On the sports programme PDF, Padel is #25 and Teqball is #38.

      looks like the agreement is the international federations are in fact hosting the event, not the AG organizers, so everything is up to them to make it happen.   Teqball is now confirmed to have 5 events (singles and doubles) does it mean easy 5 gold medals for Thailand ?   Padel is not 100% confirmed yet. I assume there are still talks ongoing between the IF and the Japanese organizers.

      [OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2021

      By torres7 · Posted

      I feel like this year's Eurovision is more wide open than ever 😂   There isn't a clear favorite, and that makes everything more exciting. Finland is looking strong, sure, but Ukraine always knows how to surprise people and connect with them. I was checking out the odds a bit, and I was struck by how quickly they're rising.   By the way, I found a site that compares the odds pretty clearly: https://casasdeapuestaseurovision.com/   It’s nothing special, but it gives you an idea of how things are shaping up before the semifinals. Although we all know how this goes… at Eurovision, everything can change in a matter of minutes
