Short Track

Our main players always disappointing in the most important moments.

Erika and Damiris always decisive (PIPOQUEIRAS). But the work of Neto and the girls has been very good, I hope it continues. Well done Porto Rico

That's why Brazil will probably never be big in basketball again. Always the same drama in decisive matches. I hope the result will be different this time.

Even after Germany beat my Brazil more than 5 times, I'm still surprised by this performance.

I do not believe. I hope Germany can get this team out of Tokyo, but I doubt it.

France

I think it's amazing how Serbia is irregular. It is something that deserves to be studied.

In Brazil it's hard to say, but I can list the possible candidates: Isaquias Queiroz (Canoeing): 6 times world champion, 12 world championship medals, 3 Olympic medals. It is perhaps our best athlete at the moment. Bruno Rezende (Volleyball): Olympic Champion, twice silver in the world championship, currently holds all the possible titles that a volleyball player can win. Arthur Zanetti (Gymnastics): Olympic Champion, World Champion, Pan American Champion, South American Champion. He is for sure our best gymnast of this decade. Ana Marcela (Open Water): She has 11 world championship medals, is a favorite in any competition, a pity she has not yet had her Olympic medal. But Tokyo 2020 is her chance. Martine & Kahena (Sailing): World champions, Olympic champions, Pan American champions. They are extremely regular, almost never have bad results. Of those above, I think Isaquias is the best of the decade.

Times change, but France continues to struggle against Brazil. If I'm not mistaken, in the last 5 games (in the world championship) there were 4 wins and a draw for Brazil.

Montenegro beat Senegal by 4 goals. Each championship the african teams show a little evolution. Interesting.

You were very optimistic. I don't even know if we can beat a really good European team today.

I don't know if Germany and Russia are very strong, but I think we can beat all the teams in this group. But I don't think we will qualify.

Congratulations Serbia Hi Puerto Rico

Unexpectedly easy tournament and respectful game against USA (even with defeat). I'm surprised.

We can't even participate in the women's tournament with these teams. I imagine our level in this sport.

Alan MVP We are not the greatest example of renewal, but little by little our future is emerging.
