Congrats Italy! What a year for them, two golds in volleyball EC, gold in Euro 2020, 5 athletics golds in Tokyo and win in Eurovision with rock song Also congrats Slovenia, silver medal is also very good result

Italy IS DOMINANT , Italy is FUCKING GOOD. All love from Ukraine , it's your year , you deserved it

Malta won a medal at the European Championships for 49er FX.

With 4 points after Group stage, we had joined the round of 16.

Look who they've got as næstformand DIF at the Copenhagen half marathon. Looks a lot younger while he's at it!

Men's european junior water polo championships concluded today in Malta. Serbia won the gold medal beating Greece (10-6) in the final. Hungary won bronze with a 13-12 win over Spain on penalty shoot-out. Montenegro ended up 5th after beating Croatia (14-12) and Netherlands finished 7th after defeating Italy (11-9).

We are, once again, on the top Only 1 month after the Tokyo's failure, with a youngster team, just wow. Congrats to Slovenia, I really like how they played and I really appreciate the match

No no no, there are some teams you just don't trash talk before the game is over and much less with one day of anticipation Still, you have guts, I'll give you that.

Seems that there will be tie-break.

Can the summer / year of Italy strike once again Or the mighty Slovenians get their first major title. Either way, our lame team can say they've lost the group to the eventual finalists.

with bronze medal after beating Serbia 3-0 Edit: It was also last match for our team when Vital Heynen was coach of the team. Our federation decided to not extend his contract due to failure during Olympics.

The biggest mystery is how Schwartzman managed to lose to an unranked Belarusian

Clara Tauson wins her second WTA title in what is likely to be the last Luxembourg Open edition.

Congrats for champions.

This is 2021 UCI Road World Championships, not European Championship.

Wow, what race Btw, once again, CAMPIONE DEL MONDO It's a magic summer for the Italian sport!

TOP_GANNA WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deep mourning in Belgium, gold for Ganna. What a race

It will be really close

Qatar is currently 4th best team in Asia, they deserved the quota. (well yeah I know they have lots of naturalized players, I was talking about their level) they beat Australia twice 3-0 and they would beat Chinese Taipei if they had to play. andddd 4th title for Iran 4th in past 6 editions, and it could be 6 out of 6 but our federation stupidly decided to send B/U21 teams to 2015 and 2017 editions

No, this is World Championship , not European

I want men's K1 and K2 200m back in the Olympic program... immediately!!!

Amazing victory for Diliberto

Imagine crossing from Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina then.

Ha ha, yeah right, finally it is time for second team gold for our country, after Eurobasket 2017.

3 golds and 1 bronze for Amira and good championships for Egypt overall

Italy maybe get both european cup for men and women in the same year

Our K4 (Baláž, Myšák, Zalka (replaced Vlček), Botek) just lost to Ukraine lol at the World Championships in Denmark today...bronze for Czechia But in other hand we are the only crew winning medals at Olympic Games, World Championships and European Championhips M K4-500 competitions this year 2021

Wtf, are we cursed, or something? This is the third draw after EURO2020 and the women's handball Olympic tournament where we get a really difficult group. And we always get . Group B - Yikes, RIP. The other groups: Group A - Group C - Group D -

They still haven't updated the ranking after the China win, but I already know 100% they will go above sorry

I can not imagine, Latvia team didn't qualify

The asian men‘s bronze medal match will decide the last quota to WCH by ranking. The quota competition is between China and Ukraine. After watching the ACH I think the current world ranking system is quite controversial. The 5th team gained a lot of points through winning two consecutive 5-8 ranking matches while the 4th team will lose many points by losing 2 consecutive matches after reaching semifinals. To be clear I think Qatar received many undeserved points and qualified to WCH as 5th but 4th will not qualify for sure. Also the system made Australia lost many points by attending VNL while China escaped from losing points by withdrawal. I have to admit we also sometimes benefit from this controversial system.

Former Danish pro Chris Anker Sørensen has died, aged 37 He was hit by a car in Belgium, where he was supposed to be co-commentator for Danish TV for the world championships, starting tomorrow. Great domestique in his career, mostly at CSC/Tinkoff-Saxo.
