Hi Group,
 
I wasn't sure where best to post so thought I would chuck it in here.
 
I'm new to this forum from the mighty GB. I just wanted to say how much I rate this page and was blown away by the work that has gone into making it what it is today.
 
I have a love for virtually all summer Olympic sports and have been checking in regularly to see how the shape up for Paris is looking.
 
If there is anything I can do to help out let me know.
 
 

And confirmed, Norwegian media is picking it up quite a lot of course, here's one including some comments from our very own @brunamoura who got asked about it this week

Nobody will. She's lucky CAS is a lap dog of an organisation. This case pretty much proves money buys you justice and I wonder how WTA will try to sweep this under the carpet and how many of players will speak against Halep on her return. I suspect Eugenie Bouchard would if only she wasn't so irrelevant these days.

ITF officially allows Russian & Belarussian players to compete as neutral athletes in Paris.
 
Meanwhile where are those people who preached the liberal democracies will boycott the Olympics?

And now his ex-wife (they divorced before they died), / volleyball player Ruxandra Dumitrescu has passed away at age 46 from cardiac arrest. She was originally from Romania but got Greek citizenship after many years playing in our women's league (17 in total but she got citizenship after 7 years), played for the Greek women's national team at Athens 2004 as well.
 
They had a son together also, he is probably not even a teenager yet, so sad for him to grow up without parents...

Balkan rules
 
Never thought I would get first place in any prediction contest haha. I've always been very bad.
 
Congrats to the podium guys aswell!

CAS reduced Simona Halep's ban for roxadustat from 4 years to 9 months so her ban retrospectively expired in July 2023
 
I wonder if she gets WC to Miami now.
 
 
 
 

The World Cup heads to Soldier Hollow next.  I am volunteering on the range Thurs-Sat.  Maybe I can be the guy who sweeps the range

running wide for the gold

I swear Polish commentators called Reekie per Emma a couple of times. Maybe they forgot "J" is not a silent letter in English?

Charlton with WR!!!
 
Bronze for Skrzyszowska

Ehammer survives by 11 points aka less than one second?

So apparently Klaver run the fastest leg despite a standing start

Skrzyszowska ties her PB but obviously nowhere close to Charlton

Noah Lyles will apparently run in the 4x400 relay

Swoboda didn't choke this time. Silver is good!

Doom wins men's 400 meters. Warholm led for 393 meters

Swoboda 6.98 NR in the semi-final.

McLeod 8.21 and moves into bronze.

Tentoglou 8.15 and moves back into 1st.

Hiltz on the podium with a silver
