When I said I wanted Canada to play lights out, this isn't what I meant.

we have 9 athletes 
 
Alpine skiing (2) 
 
(M) Barnabás Szőllős
(W) Noa Szőllős
 
Bobsled (4) (first time we qualified ) 
(M) Aj Edelman
(M) Chen menachem 
(M) Ward fawarsy (from what I know the first ever druze Olympian (not including the paralympics))
(M) Omer Katz 
 
Cross country skiing (1) (first time we have representatives) 
(M) Attila Mihály Kertész
 
Figure skating (1) ( usually our only noteworthy team,but this is our smallest team in the sport since 94 and not even the best event for the team (who is the men) ) 
 
(W) Mariia Seniuk
 
 
Skeleton (1) 
(M) Jared Firestone 
 
 
 
 
This winter Olympics is so weird here, like, half the sports we have representatives we did not have last time, and we have more different sports then all other winter games ever, but unless we will have a huge surprise this will not have any noteworthy results, even top 10 or 15 are a stretch

Killing inocent people to avenge something, anything... Got it. 
Slight off topic - forum members from Western countries - remember the word jizya. Pretty much summarize the integration, coexistence in minds of your immigrants. Not all of them but rest assured - many, many of them.
Good luck, you will need all the luck you can get. 
In 2023 - getting killed while listening some music, 2024 lunatic driving car through the Christmas festvities in Germany... Getting stabbed in the middle of the day in UK...
And so on...
 
 
 
 

something really interesting is happening now, our (  ) women epee team did not manage to get to the competiton (as there are no flights from the here) but we have a team in the team event, how you may ask ? 
the foil team is competing in epee ( my guess is for the world ranking) 

I find it so funny we (  ) are at league one, like the group is three European and world powerhouses and a nation who was in the world cup once and never in the euros 

Don't worry, Italy and Israel have the same world cup appearances since 2018

For
1. Rate the performance on a scale of 1-10: 
8/10, on one side, it was our most successful Olympics with seven medals, but out of the none medalist very few do well, and all of these I thought wi get gold get silver 
2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks?
The main surprise was Tom Reuveny who won the gold in iqfoil, he was expected to be at about 6-8 place like he did in moat big competitions and he took home the gold even beating the Dutch favorite 
The biggest heartbreak was how our sport Channel went to athletes after thier loss without letting them get a few moments to rest and getting some hard to watch interviews (with avishag Samberg or Luna champaign salpeter) 
3. Was your country's goal achieved? 
Yes and no, the medals goal was achieved by far with 7 to 5 who were expected, but only 14 finals for the 18 who were expected (in events without a final, top 12 is final for this count ) 
4.Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? Current / Upcoming sports
More judo, sailing and gymnastics, also archery is doing great things for now, but money will be wierd now as a result of the situation 
5. Who could be some the potential star for your country in LA?
We have a great new generation of rhythmic gymnasts along side some good male artistic gymnasts, the women judo team will stay about the same and will be stars and the windsurfing will continue to be amazing, overall I expect la to be the best Olympic we will ever have with a team of 120 athletes and around the same amount of medals as this time 
 
 
 

vs in -73kg

From calculations we had in a WhatsApp group with a few of the heads of the Israeli archery federation, we will have 2 archers, a male and a female even if they all not qualify today they will get it from the ranking 

I am aware of the Maccabiah Games, but I found it difficult to archive the results, so I decided not to save those. There’s a few multi-sport games where that’s happened, unfortunately. 

I also think there is a real reputational danger for the IOC here. People love to bang about how athletes don't take Olympic golf, tennis of men's football seriously. There is a real danger of this being even moreso the case in esports, there is a real risk that the Olympics are not just considered not the pinacle but in fact somewhat of a joke event that people don't take seriously even as a minor competition.
