Might be no Team GB in Paris due to funding cuts and tensions between the English, Scottish and Welsh governing boards.

Weird, they usually are on (relatively) good terms like in field hockey.

I presume only a combined GB team actually becomes competitive in field hockey. Divide it among home nations and it's a complete wash for Wales & Scotland. Rugby is very much different, Wales & Scotland don't need Team GB to be successful.

And now they are singing some traditional song at the pitch haha!!! 

Those songs the Fijians sing are Christian Hymns!  All the other Pacific nations perform wild pagan war chants: the Fijians sing gospel music.

Oh Fijians are known to throw the pill (ball) around. They play with such flair while we have always been known to be very physical and direct in 7s. That's why I liken them to the Harlem Globetrotters :d

That style difference created a great matchup in the final though :thumbup:

Just got a chance to watch the medal matches. Two great matches. I’m very happy to see :FIJ win the gold medal once more. Also, hats off to :ARG for their miracle run. Those guys played their hearts out and earned a medal for their effort.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
