Haughey didn't become the new Schooling. Let's see, if she would disappear on the road to Paris like he did.

Would make sense and would be nice to see (her disappear). Whenever a country pays insane amounts of money for medals (like Singapore or Hong Kong) it basically translates to "We don't care if you dope, just win a medal".

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Oh believe me, it is Canada lol

But GB is sure it's them, and even in the Netherlands (which is nonsense of course) people are saying the same :lol: 

 

4th places and near-misses are somehow always remembered more than successes, it seems.

I wonder who is in the lead in 4th places in reality, I've seen several countries make that claim :d 

Actually as per this :CAN moves into second...

After Day 6 Rio: 94/306 events, 55 NOCs with medals

After Day 6 Tokyo: 112/339 events, 66 NOCs with medals

 

 

Consistent medalling by the top guns once again. :CHN with an improvement (11-8-11 in Rio) until this point while the :USA Americans have gone down slightly (16-12-10 in Rio) due to dominating less in the pool this time.

 

Almost the same nations in the Top 10 now as five years ago. Only :HUN Hungary (5-1-1 in Rio) not finding themselves in that list right now. Instead we have the :FRA French in 8th (11th in Rio with 2-4-5 in medals).

 

:CRO Croatia now one bronze better (2-0-0 in Rio) and there's a guaranteed gold and silver coming their way tomorrow.

 

Alessandra Perilli wins :SMR San Marino's first ever medal!

 

 

4th place counter*

 

(11) :GBR 

(8) :USA 

(7) :CAN:HUN:ITA

(6) :FRA:NED

(5) :CHN:GER:MEX:ROC:KOR

(4) :GEO:TUR

(3) :BEL:JPN:SUI

(2) :AUS:BRA:DEN:ISR:NOR:POL:SLO:UKR:UZB

(1) :ALB:ARG:AZE:BLR:BIH:TPE:COL:CIV:CRO:CUB:CZE:FIN:LTU:NIG:POR:ROU:SRB:SGP:ESP:THA:VEN and the Refugee Olympic Team

 

*5th places in events that award two bronze medals

Absolutely, they are the most painful!

 

Would love to see an analysis post-Games on which country had the most "close calls"

    • 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.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
