Yes! Dominici won! What an amazing battle for gold, and I'm glad it was Dominici who ended up on the top of the podium. She's the one who was not afraid to risk it all today and I'm sure Argentina must be really proud of her. I'd dare say she's the best female Argentine gymnast ever, and I hope she achieves great heights at the world championships.

Now, about mocking and making fun of gymnasts... I'm 99.99% sure our gymnasts would never, ever do that. They're very professional and supportive, and they are taught to always respect other gymnasts. This unacceptable behavior must have come from Brazilian fans. And, yes, gymnastics fans in Brazil are the worst, as @vinipereira said (thanks for leaving me out of this bunch). I used to be part of many groups about artistic gymnastics on Facebook, but the behavior of other fans was so toxic I left all of them and decided to follow the sport on my own. I apologize for the behavior of other fans, and I can assure you the gymnasts, and true fans, like me, love and support Argentine gymnasts (and all other gymnasts).

Time to celebrate! Congratulations to Dominici! I'm really, really happy for her! :clap::champion: Parabéns!

Anyone know why Argentina won bronze and not Bolivia in this event? https://www.cochabamba2018.bo/torneo/esquema/4/torneo/311

 

Even though the site doesn't show, I think all Karate events have a bronze medal repechage, where the losing semifinalists face the quarterfinalists who lost to one of the two finalists.

 

I don't know if I'm making myself clear, but I think it's similar to the Taekwondo Olympic competition format.

Looks like there was a last minute cancellation of dressage, so only show jumping will be held. Only one familiar name in the entries: :URU Martin Rodriguez Vanni. :d

I never listen ANY of the names of our jumping team.

    • Good luck then! Keep us updated please!!!   And see you in 2026 olympics!!!
    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
