Orudjov didn't stance a chance like expected...

Heydarov wins bronze after 7:47 of Golden Score Now let's see if Ono does what he's supposed to do...

Julia!!!! Bronze for Poland!!!!!!

Polish ES is obviously showing Hurkacz's fifth set instead of Sharapova vs Williams about to start

You ain't gonna find decency in politics. Even those seemingly decent people with ideas become overwhelmed by the power once they have it.

Does Macron even stand a chance of re-election himself? Guess he's been exposed as the gentry's puppet already? If world leaders consider him as a sitting duck nobody's gonna hold back in taking cheap shots at his wife

I recall Japan taking some risks with Kaori Matsumoto over Aiko Sato for 2012 (Matsumoto won the Grand Slam in Tokyo but Sato was the reigning champion) and Haruna Asami was a two-time reigning World Champion and still got passed over for Tomoko Fukumi whom she beat both times in the WC final. However she could never win the All-Japan title until 2013 and Fukumi was IJF ranking leader for 4 years.

1 am tonight

What if Abe is higher in the World Rankings? I've heard that All-Japan Champs are more important for the Japanese selection but sometimes they still favor the designated hero over the underdog?

And now taking selfies with kids. He probably stands zero chance of taking the Olympic spot from Abe though?

Maruyama takes gold! That was impressive!

Uta Abe wins gold by ippon after 30 secs.

Kelmendi wins bronze and Ramos probably suffered a broken nose

Maruyama upsets 2x defending champ Abe in the golden score!

Outrageous time wasting by the Egyptian! And he gets promptly DQ with 15 secs left

Talk about blowing up your own franchise, I mean Ryan Grigson will probably burn in hell for this after years of struggling to address the OLine. Next in line Steve Keim of the Cardinals who prefers to draft WRs instead of OL. Let's see how that works out for your #1 overall pick!

Magda Linette has won the WTA tournament in The Bronx!! (her maiden WTA title) This is a HUGE success for Polish tennis!

First loss for USA in any game since the 2006 World Ch semi-final?

I see Lisa Carrington keeps her iron rule in K1 200m going Good to see Walczykiewicz winning the B-class there again

Volleyball must have the most busy international schedule out of all team sports. It's like FIVB creates a new tournament every other year just for the sake of it or expands the number of participants in existing ones. Club level play is pushed deep into the cheap seats, it's more or less the same countries and teams that reach the final stages of all these European cups and players take part in more NT games than domestic league. We have Olympics, WCh, ECh, World Cup, World League (or Nations League now) and all these qualifying events too. Does it really help the expansion of the sport? Other than Iran I see no other global men's team that has arrived and made an impact but they basically replaced Cuba which has imploded with all their best players deserting them. In Europe maybe Finland and Slovenia are like the new wave. Volleyball is a pretty niche team sport and that's unlikely to change tbh.

It's volleyball

She won Washington last year but was denied a visa this year and couldn't defend her title.

So a wombat is more durable than a tasmanian devil? Does like a koala travel 1,000 meters his entire life even?
