Just after I explained to my wife there will probably be 4-5 minutes of stoppage time.

There will be 3 girls in eight-finals. A wonderful result because it hasn't happened since very long time. A real Renaissance of our tennis

LFG USA!!! We are FINALLY back in Men's Olympic Football for the first time since Beijing!

qualifies and well on their way. Are we sure this isn't a baseball qualifying tournament?

This is Latvian debut in this age category. Yes, Both WU Divisions II Tournaments are merged for this year into 1 bigger tournament.

Η Άννα Ντουντουνάκη κατέκτησε το χρυσό μετάλλιο στα 50μ. πεταλούδα στους Μεσογειακούς Αγώνες του Οράν. Η 26χρονη πρωταθλήτρια ξεχώρισε και στους Μεσογειακούς Αγώνες, που διεξάγονται στο Οράν. H Άννα Ντουντουνάκη χάρισε στην Ελλάδα το τρίτο της μετάλλιο στα αγωνίσματα της κολύμβησης. Τερμάτισε σε 25.95 στα 50μ. πεταλούδα και κατέκτησε το χρυσό μετάλλιο και άφησε πίσω της τις Ντι Κάρλο (26.25) και Λακουιντάνα (26.38).

That’s a shame. I’ve really been enjoying this event, but it is hard to find coverage. I believe you can find the daily highlights package on YouTube if it’s any help.

No medal for him there. He had a nice showing in the 1500m tonight, but no medal there either.

Do Americans even know this sport exist?

Kudos to the girls, it was a very good effort against the US, I think this was the most exciting final they had in recent years and it was definitely the closest match for the US at this WCh. Maybe next time.

So Vallee is the only person who's beaten a chinese diver at these championships. Very impressive!

Ok, I appreciate not many people here understand cricket, but everyone understands a disaster. Stuart Broad serves up the single worst spell of bowling in about 150 years of international cricket. What makes it even worse is that Jasprit Bumrah is a specialist bowler, not a batsman at all. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/cricket/62021370

Just saw recording of the swimming prelims, wow that venue is better than most SEA Games swimming venues (except Singapore ofc)

If this was in the opposite way, Sagan would be already DSQ and send home

MALAGA, SPAIN (July 2, 2022) - The Canadian U17 Men’s National Team opened play at the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2022 with a 94-46 victory over New Zealand in Spain on Saturday. Ishan Sharma- 16 points Christian Nitu- 14 points Stephen Osei- 13 points Jaion Pitt- 10 points / 8 reb

I’d be terrified, those barriers are no height. Uran wins the Battle of the Bridge, manages to get back on. Mind you, I think the peleton dialled back after they saw the height if the barriers. We have seen riders go over walls that size many times.

still no one fell into the water

I have a feeling that it may be the end of Iga streak. Either today with Cornet or on Monday with Tomljanovic. But as all my predictions here are constantly wrong, I hope my own streak will continue…

In most of those cases, the athletes were born in and/or raised in those European countries, yet you support Turkey of all nations who literally buy athletes from other continents. Your logic is so flawed. Nyfantopoulos won bronze in the men's 100m with a PB. In my opinion he is really the gold medalist as the gold went to a Jamaican who was bought by Turkey, and the silver went to an Azeri bought by Turkey. Last time I checked, Jamaica and Azerbaijan were not Mediterranean countries but it's interesting that you somehow do not complain about this...

Usually it was FIFA WWC for the best European nations. Might be the same with Africa this time as well if the Women AFCON won't be held in early 2024 (usually it was November/December).

nice to read that there are still a few Italian guys playing hockey... tbh, I don't know anything about those 2...but I hope that they can have some good future ahead of them (and I hope they try the North-American experience, which is still a big if, knowing our youngsters)...

i will help the guys here also in some sports

Ο Κρίστιαν Γκολομέεβ κατέκτησε το πρώτο μετάλλιο της ελληνικής ομάδας στην Κολύμβηση των Μεσογειακών Αγώνων (Οράν, Αλγερία). Στον τελικό στα 50μ. πεταλούδας, τερμάτισε τρίτος με χρόνο 23.61. Τεράστια επιτυχία για την ελληνική κολύμβηση στους 19ους Μεσογειακούς Αγώνες, στο Οράν της Αλγερίας. Λίγη ώρα μετά το χάλκινο μετάλλιο του Γκολομέεβ στα 50 μ. πεταλούδα, ΧΡΥΣΟΣ Μεσογειονίκης αναδείχθηκε ο Βαγγέλης Μακρυγιάννης στα 100 μ. ύπτιο. Ο Έλληνας πρωταθλητής, μετά από μια πολύ καλή κούρσα στον τελικό του αγωνίσματος, κατέκτησε την πρωτιά και το χρυσό μετάλλιο με χρόνο 54.35, επιβεβαιώνοντας την πολύ καλή αγωνιστική κατάσταση στην οποία βρίσκεται. Με τον καλύτερο τρόπο έπεσε για την ελληνική αποστολή η αυλαία της πρώτης ημέρας των τελικών της κολύμβησης στους Μεσογειακούς Αγώνες του Οράν, στην Αλγερία, καθώς η ομάδα σκυταλοδρομίας 4Χ200 μ. ελεύθερο κατέκτησε το χρυσό μετάλλιο στον τελικό με χρόνο 7.17.91. Την ομάδα αποτελούσαν οι Δημήτρης Μάρκος, Βαγγέλης Μακρυγιάννης, Κώστας Στάμου και Ανδρέας Βαζαίος.

Palma Čargo osigurala medalju na dasci. Izgleda da je promjena Olimpijske klase s RS:X na iQFoil bila puni pogodak za nas. Čargo praktički preko noći počela dominirat jedriličarke koje su prije bile daleko ispred nje. Ovdje recimo ima astronomsku prednost nad Ciprankom koja joj je prošle god oduzela nastup u Tokiju.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

Maria Sakkari lost to Tatjana Maria in straight sets in R3. That was utterly pathetic with this section of the draw. Jelena Ostapenko has a free pass to SF as she plays Maria and the winner of Watson/Niemeier in QF
