Isn't it so satisfying to make all the russians cry?

Well, it won't stop Israel from handing out nationality to Russian Jews though. I feel like 90% of Israeli gymnasts and figure skaters are basically Russian or Ukrainian Jews to begin with :p

Believe me: I'm not one to defend Ashram, but she worked hard for the results and she deserved it. The fact that some of the Russians are trying to make it look like she didn't deserve the gold medal is ridiculous.

Now, please, read this: https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/rhythmic-gymnastics-101-scoring

It's also important to consider that we're discussing an all-around competition, and performance on all 4 apparatus count. Her performance on ribbon might not have been excellent, but the drop only cost 0.3/0.5 depending on how many steps she took to get to the apparatus. This is a very small penalty in a sport where scores in 1 single apparatus can go up to 24/25 points. and Olympic medals are decided with combined scores around 100 points.

 

You can complain about the Code of Points -- I do this all the time -- but you can't just say that she didn't win the gold medal in a fair way.

Also, take a look at he body difficulty skills compared to Dina Averina's:

May be an image of text that says 'Ashram V D. Averina: DB scores 21.5 21 20.6 20.4 21.6 21.4 21.2 21.0 20.8 20.6 20.4 20.2 20.0 19.8 19.6 19.4 19.2 19.0 20.1 20 19.6 19.6 19.2 2018 Sofia 2019 Baku 2019 Baku 2021 Wcup Pesaro Q 2021 Tokyo 2021 Tokyo Linoy Ashram Dina Averina Made with infogr am'

Don't forget Dolgopyat, who is actually Uzbek and even lives in Uzbekistan according to information from one website I read.

Poor Uzbekistan was robbed of an Olympic gold medal here, if you ask me. The same happened when Chusovitina represented Germany in 2008, in my opinion.

Dolgopyat is from Ukraine? I also read he lives in Israel but he isn't even a Jew by the law since his mother wasn't Jewish. And he is dating a Belarussian girl so I assume he stays in the Russian-speaking language world anyway. But he can't get married in Israel since he isn't actually Jewish by the religion law :lol:

Oh, right, it's Shatilov who  lives in Uzbekistan. My bad here. Dolgopyat is from Ukraine. It makes things even more absurd because Ukraine didn't win any medals in gymnastics for the first time in history.

I remember when Maksyuta also competed representing Israel. It's crazy how they just handle free passes to gymnasts from Ukraine.

Yea he's from Ukraine, i wasn't aware that he wasn't jewish but i believe if his dad is jewish, it's enough to be a citizen under the israeli law. And yea he can't get married, it's a big problem in israel, but he can always get married in Cyprus, a lot of people do that.

They only give away free passports to Jews, you live in Brazil so might not be aware there are a lot of Russian/Ukrainian Jews out there. This also applies to figure skating - effectively every sport where Russia/former USSR has been a historical powerhouse. They also have a mixture of American Jews competing for Israel in figure skating but most are Russian/Ukrainian. Galit Chait was the only ethnic Israeli Jew that achieved international success in figure skating IIRC.

And there are many organisations that help nowadays , so besides noise, there isn’t much about it,

    • Its a bit off top, but Turkmenistan also was only one country in the world without official case of covid 
    • In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.
    • I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons. 
    • I’ve only seen things related to the father of this current president. And not even much of that, everything had the face of the new one now.   but of course, I saw only what I was allowed to see , that is how things work if you want to visit it :-)
    • I wonder if there are any monuments to their first leader, who died in 2006, or has the latter taken over everything? 
    • now the leader is not that one, but his son (you’ll see him in one of the photos I shared, in the tv. His face is everywhere as it happens in any country with cult of the leader).   and yes the story is true, in Ashgabat only white, golden and some other colour (grey?) cars are allowed in the city. Just like every building is white.   And it’s funny you mention the talibans, because Turkmenistan has an Afghanistan representation/consulate in their country, and one of the days when we were eating lunch in a mall at Mary city, the Turkmen guide was called by the restaurant waiter and then came to us and said “ok so don’t worry, but a taliban delegation is coming here to eat lunch so don’t take pictures and behave discreetly when they enter”.   One of those wtf moments of our trip haha
