Other sports are sending alternative teams but with pretty good athletes such as Arthur Zanetti, Flavia Saraiva, Jade Barbosa, Caio Souza, Francisco Barretto, Natália Gaudio and Maicon Andrade.

 

I'm really surprised with how strong our teams are in gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic, not sure about trampoline now that our best athletes have retired, basically). I predict something around 15 gold medals and 25 medals overall. A bold prediction, but they have enough potential to reach even more if everything goes right.

Not at all. Men's and Women's artistic team (2), men's rings (3), women's all around (4), women's vault (5), women's floor (6), balance beam (7) plus all 8 medals in rhythmics (AA, clubs, ribbon, hoop and ball, and 3 medals for the group routines). Plus, we will probably get 10+ gold and silver medals in rhythmics, artistic and trampoline. And these are only the "safe" bets. We might get surprise gold medals in men's artistic (especially on floor, vault and high bar) and even maybe trampoline.

You're too confident about the women's team. How are the chances that they screw up at least one of those finals? Or considering how lucky we are, that one of the girls gets injured?

 

Same for all the gold medals in Rhythmic Gymnastics - Gaudio can drop the ball in the middle of her routine or something :p

 

I guess it can happen, but I wouldn't call it a safe bet.

This is why I said it was a prediction. A meteor could crash against the Earth tomorrow, who knows? Nothing is certain in life. :p:mumble::lol: Still, the quality of our gymnasts compared to the rest of the field makes it "safe" to assume they might do well.

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
