Japan not just winning but dominating so far

Another 4th

Unreal Olympics by South Korea, they are converting 90% of their chances.

Easy win for Serbia - the only team there is no way Italy will beat.

Quarterfinals: - - - -

And goodbye to 's 4x100.

Oh shit!

Thanks to the 3-way tiebreking rules, France and Greece can both advance (at the expense of Italy) if Greece beats France by 8 or more goals. Yes, France would be eliminated if they lose by 1 to 6 goals but not if they lose by 8 or more so for them it's better to lose heavily.. 3-3 at ht...maybe some hope for us. And it ends 4-11...France tried in every way to let Greece score in the last quarter 🤣 but not enough

As always, shooters are simply ordered by average score until everyone finishes. Which is the only logical way to order them.

And the reward will probably be a tough quarter against Serbia/USA/China.

I 22,16 per il secondo posto quest'anno li faceva anche in ciabatte...un disastro inaudito e incomprensibile.

It's possible, I don't know enough about this. Regarding today, experts seems to think that Wilson committed a very very bad mistake (and Kantor followed her) - an Italian sailing website wrote that (Wilson) "goes so fast that she does not need to think" and completely missed the correct line.

4 bronze and 14 wooden (or chocolate, or whatever you call it) medals... an impressive 22% success rate.

The men were all close in the standings so it's not comparable to the women's event. But I checked and Wilson suffered the same fate in the 2024 and 2023 WCh after clearly winning the series...so maybe it's her own limit of not being able to deliver in a single race with all the pressure on her.

After sailing, another idiotic format...judokas with 40-50 kg of weight difference fighting each other.

That's an idiotic format. So probably it will be like this in every class in a few years with the series not counting anymore, a bit like in shooting.

How is this comment even allowed? Where are the admins? What kind of forum is this?

Yes. Unless Brazil lose to Egypt which is not realistic.

Serbia has 2 sets won, 6 lost. With 3-0, it would be 5/6 = 0.83. Japan has 5 won, 4 lost. With 0-3, it would be 5/7 = 0.71 So Serbia would advance.

I think not yet... but their only chance is if both SRB-CAN and USA-JPN end 3-0 to eliminate Japan (I give for certain that BRA-EGY will end 3-0)

According to wikipedia China did not win a medal on the last day of London 2012, are they wrong? This would make the streak much shorter.

Again, this discussion is weird since I never said to eliminate anyone (only one probably fake Italian here did). And again, "your athlete" instead of naming her ... you seem to have some problem in grasping the concept that millions people are not a single entity.

Lol. The opponent was too strong for her, she retired. End of. Also, there are no "Italian emotions", emotions do not have a nationality. And she has a name, wich is quite simple to write, keeping writing "Italian boxer, Italian emotions, Italian sport, Italians winning" is quite weird to say the least.
