Guys, anybody know whether there is a live stream of today's heats? Was trying to find something but unsuccessfully. Thanks

C'mon Karel Lavický We wanna have some sailors in Tokyo!!!

True that. The C2 removal is a huge shame. Nobody wants to race in this category anymore. Anyways the internal qualification.... Something like K1 Men in Czech. The competition there is enormous.

Me racing this, I would probably have to use earphones and listen to music all the time. Or I would have gotten super bored :-D :-D :-D

Congratulations!!! You are famous for very strong C1 team over ages :-D :-D I am really curious who is gonna go to Tokyo? The Michal "Grandpa" Martikán? :-D

Let's challenge ourselves ..... Btw what if one of us chooses a song from times of Czechoslovakia?

For me, I have seen it somewhere else where China was supposed to have 10 or 11. And it was like half an year ago or something like. I guess they must have "bought it" . Cause if u remember only Olympic vialotions, there cannot be only 3-4 in total. Will see, cause the final word will have IOC anyway

Sounds fun. How to participate? Can I just share a link to youtube?

I highly doubt that. Their doping past, especially Beijing 2008 ..... For now, China should be able to send 2 men and 2 women. And if one more doping case, only 1 and 1.

True, for now 2 per each gender. And they must be shaking. ..... One more doping case for chinese weighlifters and they will be able to send just one per gender

Hey, may I ask what is this topic about? I might not have got the point. I don't see any connection to the Olympics.

Feel really said about these ways. Especially cause my wife is chinese and I know that ppl from her country keep doing that. As US and USSR, Germany were hungry before Velvet revolution and did everything for Olympic success, China has not stopped. And Russia or course. Will see what about following years. About Beijing 2022, I think it will be much better. They changed ways in some sort and instead of illegal practicing they push loads of money for athletes training for the home Olympics. Building places, hiring foreigners for crazy money..... Will see in 2,5 years. I believe they have potential but they must stop with the "old" ways ... Maybe like Russia.... I do everything for success..... Literally...

Well, the citizens don't belong amongst smart ones. As the country is closed from the outside world, people get easily stupid and naive. All kinds of ppl. The evidence can be destroyed easily. Those gymasts who competed before Olympics, mostly just Asia, results erased or changed. ID card, birth certificate the same. Nothing unusal even in these days...

Hey, nice to see another Czech on this webside :-) ...... My information says, there is still a chance to win for Czechs. Firsly Israel must lose against South Africa. Then Italy must defeat Dutch and of course we must beat Spain. In this case, they will be matching statistics of won and lost games. And the decision maker will be a small table of statistics - according to my information it does not depend on how you played against other teams but mini table, where will be scored points, hits, etc ...... And I am giving a big chance to Czechs regarding this. Let's hope that everything will play according to our situation and we will make it to the Olympics. Or at least to the Final qualification tournament.

Ben, I truly love the statistics you have been doing. I believe it is a lot of work but this give the best overview to fans all around the world about the athletes from all sports. BIG THUMB UP!!! Thanks!

Czechs Hermannová/Nausch Sluková had 2 MATCH BALLS/ OLYMPIC BALLS against the Latvians. Unfortunately did not make it through. Such big pity. Cause they currently are on the qualifying spot for Tokyo but due to Slukova's injury they have not participated enough tournaments to be eligible to qualify to Olympics. Hopefully their health will stay strong till Tokyo.

People who work at those federations know and we have spoken about some stuff. Unfortunately there does not exist any evidence anymore. If somebody wanna try to dig out something .... Might even get people to talk the truth publically but evidence about those Gymnasts was destroyed.

Sorry, went to sleep. Well, when you speak to people who work and some spheres. And they tell u what is really happening but nobody can talk about it. If somebody found out, you might ... Ehm..... Let's say .... dissapear.... Typical example of a case is the manipulation with birth dates of chinese gymnasts during Beijing 2008. Many people know nobody can talk about it and outsiders will never find a proof because access everything in English is nearly impossible and many official systems are big mess. And if G-ment corrects some stuff, nobody ever finds out. I also heard that some "doping doctors" are giving under "high supervision" to the athletes some stuff based on chinese medicine//treatmemt ways. That is supposed to be the "grey zone" ...... I don't have any paper proofs, just what I hear from people who work at some certain positions.

And you guys don't even know what is happening all those years in China :-D Since they first went to Olympics. Russia was found out because the language is just accessible to many people. Even tough the country is trying to cut itself from the world. China? Pity to speak. I have lived here 4 years. And things you find out ..., Well...,.

Amazing competition from PETR NYMBURSKÝ and already 7th Quota for Czech Shooting!!! The best way to earn quota is to become European champion!! Plus of course Filip amazing silver. Unfortunately dissapointment from MARTIN PODHRÁSKÝ who was in Rapid Fire Pistol on the quota until the last series. 93 in last series means that he misses OG Quota by 1 place, first in the results who is not qualified. Again :'(

Well, it depends. The way to the point is now to treat injuries asap and collect point during indoor season including championships. I believe these 4 can make it if they won't get any more injuries.

Exactly, Eliska deserves it a lot. And it's pity that Marketa Cervenkova and Lucie Sekanova cannot go due to injury. Tuey might have collected important point to the IAAF ranking before Tokyo 2020!

Well, in my opinion format of 3 attempts sucks. Look at athletic technical disciplines. Why weighlifters could not begin with some kinda weight and have for example 2 attempts on each? If u feel yourself starting with heavier, just start where u want. I think that similar format at athletic technical disciplines would be more fair and more attractive to spectators.

I truly hope that Nymbursky will get it! Let's cheer for Bacci and Nymbursky in the final :-)

I was wondering the same thing. I guess this was a little tactical. He was not in a good health shape. Had some small injuries and did not train fully. So he signed up lower base. That is why they put him to the B-Group.
