Come again, why does this Dunfee guy has such a big fanbase (on this forum in particular)?

Because he is not afraid to speak his mind.

He’s among the most outspoken athletes across all Olympic sports. He’s not afraid to say what is on everyone’s mind while still being polite about it.

Because he’s speaks for athletes. He’s not arrogant. He actually enjoys speaking with and engaging with his fans. He brutally honest about what it means to be an international athlete. He’s a champion of clean sport. 
 

He does have some down sides (he’s not the greatest race walker, he can be combative at times), but he’s one of the most genuine athletes you’ll meet. He’s one those athletes that acts like a normal person, and doesn’t pretend to be above everyone else. He models behavior that is good for young athletes to see.

He'd probably run for the Athlete's Commission elections in Tokyo if he could. Well, he needs to wait until Paris because of Hayley Wickenheiser.

I think he’s more interested in doing work within World Athletics. I could see him as the President of World Athletics one day.

Well, Bach started from the Athletes Commission, didn't he?

Minsk will host the 2021 Superleague Team European championship

Why does it feel like Minsk always steps in for every postponed event ever? :d

    • 4  4 after 6.  Crucial match for a guaranteed semi spot.    
    • Gianluigi Buffon is gone, waiting for the Gattuso too.
    • @rafalgorka https://www.pantarhei.sk/635214-xxv-zimne-olympijske-hry-milano-cortina-2026   the SVK NOC official Milano Cortina 2026 book is out for your collection   Full of pictures, stats and as usual complete result book         
    • Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?
    • Denmark can only blame themselves for that Belarus match. A win and they'd qualify with a game to spare alas...   Gattuso has no business being a manager at this level. Italian problems come from the lack of domestic talent in Serie A but Gattuso ain't gonna fix anything.
    • Just listening to Gattuso is enough to understand that he's a simpleton.  Honor, pride, grit...but he is a coach, not a Spartan soldier. And he was surrounded by other idiots who confessed they had to buy their high school diploma. 1-0 up but down to 10 men and they are playing only counters with a lone forward with good pace (Kean, who almost scored the second) and Gattuso replaces him with a target man. Then 1-1, the team is forced to play more possession and the first thing he does is taking out a ball playing midfielder (who served a near assist just moments before) for Frattesi, who is only good in running into empty spaces to finish but always shy away from playing the ball.

    • The last time this team played well was at Euro 2021 under Mancini, but they 8 months later they lost to Macedonia at home in a 2022 World Cup qualifier play- off at home game... In my opinion, Italy Euro success was thanks to Chiellini and Bonucci's recent big form and Chiesa's tournament of a life. Without them, Italy is simply average team: the 1-4 and 0-3 group defeats to Norway wasn`t a case (under Spalletti, so a good manager, at all). Play-offs, however, are always a lottery in this format – especially when you're playing decisive matches away and also under the pressure of Italy now + Bastoni's red card episode. Such things are decisive. Take the current play-offs: Poland, Denmark and Italy could just as easily have advanced, instead of the Czech Republic, Sweden or Bosnia. Top teams simply don't have to play in these play-offs, why they avoiding the risk of defeat. In groups you have 7-8 home and away matches and no only one- last match chance away
    • Btw our coach (likely in a couple of days ex-coach as well ) Calzona, not the pizza, Italian himself, presented his 2 cents about Italian failure as well in the press conference after our useless match against Romania. Talk about how nonsensical and pointless this match was    https://sport.aktuality.sk/futbal/clanok/francesco-calzona-reakcia-na-bosna-taliansko-zaspali-sme-2026040100555755775
