And it is Imagine being the odd one out

No, but is certainly fitting for a typical Totallympics bashing masked under a pretense of "discussion". Baseball/softball is like the only non-European-centric team sport at the Olympics. And it's here for one cycle. Just let it be.

Is no one watching the mighty clash Romania - Honduras?

1 No 2 More 3 Covid

Well we have 0 shots on target but we won with 1-0. Hai România

7-1 incoming~

France looked like an amateur team here. Considering how many young talents they have in both domestic and other European leagues, then FIFA and IOC really have to consider some changes for the Olympics to come, on how to avoid such games from happening. Maybe beach or indoor football? Some pressure on big clubs to let at least U23 players participate? Don't know but they cut quotas in swimming and athletics while at the same time a sport where the World Champion loses 4:1 with it's D-tier team is taking huge number of the spots of more deserving athletes in other events.

This France is truly a disaster. After the penalty they had tried to create scoring chances, but Mexico simply plays on a higher level

Oussama Mellouli changed his mind and will compete in Tokyo

.. Petra Kvitová (tennis), Tomáš Satoranský (basketball)

France, Argentina and Germany in M USA in W all in last place of their groups afer 1st games. That´s something you really not see often....

I hope that doctors like that do not find work within the European Union, a real shame. They should bar them from practicing the profession

Here is the presentation of the course. The landscape is pretty.

Meanwhilea a small off-topic: Italy-Australia, women's softball, Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, ended 0-1

Is there a more imperialistic sport than cricket though?

Really? Even cricket has more countries playing and more followers.

vs in first round of +78 women

Nice to hear Steve Armitage's voice doing the announcing for rowing

She's absolutely a gold medal possibility. In April she won the Pan American Championship by 6kg against the Colombian athlete who is the top ranked athlete in this weightclass.

that's so weird situation , we have good youth and junior teams but we don't have 1st team despite the fact that there're many teams care about this sport and even they bring foreign players to the league , it's like our women's handball team we have youth and junior teams but don't have a 1st team you'll never see something like that anywhere in the world except Egypt

Japanese cherry trees are in place (their stand-ins to be precise).

That was quick The government of Guinea has reversed a decision to withdraw its delegation from attending the Tokyo Olympics, which officially open on Friday, over Covid-19 fears.

Ukraine ???? Olena Kostevych and Bogdan Nikishyn

Really sad that there are no people in the stadiums, i really miss the fans vibe, this sounds totally not like Olympic Games... And this is just the football, i think i'm gonna get the bigger shocks on the upcoming weeks... But oh well, it is what it is

if only you'd inform yourself before writing this kind of stupid things... we have 4 american born players on the team out of 15 players... and of those 4, 2 actually have been living and playing in Italy since many years (more than 10, they already played with our junior team when they were young) and 1 has 100% Italian heritage... there's only 1 girl that's actually american who got our passport through marriage... p.s. despite her name, Kotsoyanopoulos is 100% Italian (with Greek father)... p.p.s. and the 2 stars of the team, are not among those "imported" players...actually, Piancastelli has been for years a star in the US college and pro system before returning home...

PDF's are being added literally right now https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/boxing/reports.htm Three weights are online as of this moment, but it's going fast. Edit: A minute later and it's six.

What makes it even worse is that most of them aren't even sick at all. They could compete, no problem, but just aren't allowed to. I mean, it sucks just as badly when you get injured or actually sick now, but at least in that situation you simply can't compete even if you wanted to...

1) No more COVID related withdrawal after the opening 2) Hendra Setiawan winning badminton gold 3) Some random people assaulted Bach when he is watching at the sport venues, preferably using a golf car

2 X 0 I think my plan has worked very well

All of a sudden equalised, so I'm confident we'll find a 4th goal too.

Thanks

Markéta Nausch Sluková - beach volleyball. 3rd Czech athlete covid positive. All from the same flight. I wish that "doctor" to burn in hell. The athletes don't deserve to end up like this cause of him being a major ass....

no, they have a conditional draw... each player can be drawn against 2 possible opponents... for instance, no.1 can face no.15 or 16, not automatically the no.16...the same for no.2, not automatically paired against no.15, but the remaining one between 15 and 16 (and so on for all the remaining pairings)...

Is there time to Wumo add another question in Bet Contest? Will there be more than 3 goals in Men's Football tournament?

Well this is... something. 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0

We never had any "external help" when it came to developing either baseball/softball or cricket. And while baseball/softball are as marginal as they can be regarding the media attention, they both have players and both have enjoyed some European success (men's baseball team is always able to qualify for the European Championships, men's softball team recently came home with a historic medal, while the women's team is improving as well). Cricket, meanwhile, is just non-existent. I guess this shows which IF is more invested into global development.

Still better than cricket and kabaddi

Is that an argument for anything? It's not like we don't get fed with american sports through a thousand movies...

Agreed, short, mostly competitive games condense into just 6 days. I expect the baseball tournament to be lackluster by comparison (especially as it's up against everything else)

Gane tied

That v. game was crazy. Group F with 18 goals after two games

finally released who the very first case in our team. It is a doctor who was called in by Czech national tennis team and HAS NOT BEEN VACCINATED ??. How can you come to the Olympics as a doctor in this period and aren't vaccinated??????????

Objavljen je i taekwondo ždrijeb, bez iznenađenja kao sto je i bilo predvidjeno Tomic u subotu otvara protiv Kolumbije, 1/4 finale ako prodje Turkinja. U ponedjeljak Jelić otvara protiv Haitija pa Brazil ili Jordanka. Brazil pamti po lošem sa zadnjeg SP, sekundu prije kraja udarac u glavu i ispadanje u 1/4 finalu. Polufinale vjerovatno protiv Turkinje Tatar. Kanaet protiv Španjolaca a ako prodje, a nije favorit, ide na prvog noisioca iz Rusije i apsolutnog favorita za zlato. u utorak Sapina protiv 4 nosioca iz Meksika.

Bad draw for Fucsovics in the first round against Hurkacz, but if he upsets the Polish...

Let's hope USA's pitching would stay true against Japan while its hitting will improve as the tournament goes along.

Another win for USA Softball as they win 1-0 over
