There is nobody in the rest of the 12 countries who can lift at least 5 kg? That automaticly means a bronze. Not a perfect example. If there are any sports where island nations can not only compete, but also beat Australia/NZL, they are rugby and weightlifting. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 15, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Meanwhile, our girls are on the way to their first ever ECh quarterfinals (provided they beat Slovakia). Hopefully IOC will make it a 12-teams tournament soon. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,203 Posted January 15, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yeah, rugby and weightlifting are pretty much the top sports for Pacific Nations... 28 minutes ago, dcro said: Hopefully IOC will make it a 12-teams tournament soon. One can only wish . Too bad the IOC is allergic to more athlete quotas. Maybe they'll reduce it to 10 person teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's women's water polo. Or more like water polo. The sport is just incredibly unpopular, even in Europe, and we can see it from the results. The women's tournament should just go back to having 8 teams, and the men's back to 12 at the Euros.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_Gambassi 896 Posted January 17, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) We only lost by 17 goals against the Netherlands. We truly deserve our 7th place in european women's water polo.
