  1. This isn't any different than Johanna Konta switching over to UK or Ajla Tomljanovic representing Australia. They were simply offered better financial support in a sport which is very expensive until you reach a certain level of success.
  2. Wut? Did I misread the bet question then? In this case it's Allyson Felix or McLain Ward or bust?
  3. Admittedly I lost track of the golds in judo but yeah, it was always more than 10. That was one of the easier 'YES' bets. Medallists from 2004 Athens games should also be an easy 'YES' even if someone only counted for Allyson Felix as the most obvious name. Zagunis, Cassara in team fencing and the immortal Formiga in women's football still viable options to choose from
  4. Bet Contest questions answered YES already: Medal for (in taekwondo in case someone missed it) At least one nation wins their first medal ever (we have & ) Both tennis questions also 'YES' Gold medal winner in singles event will be a non-GS winner (Bencic or Vondrousova in women's) One player will win two medals in singles & doubles/mixed (Bencic, could be joined by either Djokovic or Khachanov or both)
  5. Bencic is also in the doubles final w/Golubic. However they will be total outsiders against Krejcikova/Siniakova (whom I picked to win doubles in predictions myself). Also for the bet contest - anyone who picked a player wins two medals in tennis can cash out already (however even I didn't expect Bencic will be that player ).
  6. I believe the Douglas hype didn't become real until Wieber got ousted in AA qualifying which was the major shock. It was expected that Raisman & Douglas will battle for that second AA finals spot but Wieber was supposed to be a lock IIRC? And yeah, Douglas in Rio was a complete wash, it was all Biles back then.
  7. So it's all gonna be about Simone Biles again. A rare occurance when Olympic champion will still be overshadowed by another teammate.
  8. I didn't say it was disappointing either. That's strike two! I wouldn't bet 5 cents she repeats this result in Paris no matter what NBC hype does.
  9. I didn't say it was tragic. This title will forever be remembered as the Biles mental health WD. And Lee stands no chance of ever topping Biles' marketing craze in USA. Not in a million years IMO.
  10. Yeah, Gabby Douglas was one too and she fizzled out into irrelevance real fast. Lee will forever be regarded as the champion when Biles pulled out and I don't see her repeating this feat in Paris at all.
  11. She only won due to Andrade's second error. This is very lucky win indeed. Not the next Biles-like dominator at all.
  12. Yep, if she only stepped once she would have won gold. Massive choke this is.
  13. Stepped out of bounds twice. What a choke
  14. Lee 13,700 so Andrade needs 13,902.
  15. When did it become so popular? I don't recalll it being used much few years ago.
  16. Melinikova scores over 0,5 more than Urazova and passes her in the overall.
  17. Lee, Urazova & Andrade 1-2-3 before floor. 0,201 separates them.
  18. Lee only 13,833. World feed commentators expected > 14,200
  19. Melnikova only 13,700 on beam. Probably out of gold running now.
  20. Marketa Vondrousova beats Elina Svitolina 63 61 to complete the final line-up. No matter what happens in the final Marketa has silenced the critics and the stupid ITF PR deal that left Muchova on the sidelines.
  21. 15yo Laura Bernat makes the 200m backstroke semi-finals. That's a small success for our team for sure. Jakub Majerski NR and advances into 100m buttefly SF as well.
  22. Has Joseph Schooling done anything in the last four years? Defending 100m butterfly champion comes in last in his heat
  23. Yeah, that was against Wolf all the time. He had to earn this one. Cho was gassed since the first minute of golden score already.
  24. Yes, terrible piece of commentary. Calling the third shido for Cho TWICE like it was a given. Who the hell are these people anyway?
