  1. I wonder what she's planning? Mass starts? I'm afraid that if she wants to combine short track with long track in 2026, she'll be left with nothing. The worst thing is that she would have the best chance in the mixed relay in short track, and by not training with the rest of the team, she significantly reduces her chances of participating in this relay.
  2. Musetti is probably more talented than Sinner, but for various reasons he may not achieve the results he does. When you look at Musetti's individual moves, only a genius can play like that.
  3. We have 1 bronze, but it's not even about the medals. 2 years ago we won 2 medals: 1 gold and 1 bronze but we were 12th in the points classification with 38 points. Now, before the last day, we won't have even half of that achievement. Something is wrong, because 2/3 of our athletes are starting badly here and are completely out of shape. I don't understand why, because under the new management of Fidal we did well, which is visible in both seniors and juniors results. This year at the U-18 European Championships we won the medal classification, when I`m surprised by the terrible performance in Lima. And it's not even about whether Furalni would have won an additional gold here or not. The facts are that we sent a large team, which is doing badly for the most part and this is probably the 1st such big mistake since the new president of the our federation.
  4. I don't know if we're taking this championship less seriously? Because our results are terrible... I have a déjà vu from our performances at the senior World Championships 10-15 years ago. It's a bit strange, because among the seniors we attack with a wide bench, the U-18 European Championships this year went great for us, and here we have 1x 6th place and that's it. It's a bit worrying...
  5. Overall, the worst is Finland, which is weak in both cases, and yet they should be equal to Norway and Sweden. As you can see, the coolest prime minister in the world didn't do much there, apart from promoting herself :P
  6. They are a powerhouse in winter sports, including hockey. They also have a better national team in football than Italy. They have nothing to be ashamed of. In my opinion, it`s better to be a powerhouse in the winter and a weakling in the summer, than to be mediocre in both cases, like Poland or Ukraine.
  7. I don't take these new team sports too seriously. I always take the classic team sports more seriously: fooball, basketball, volleyball, handball, water polo and field hockey.
  8. Now they are much weaker in handball. The question remains whether we consider 2024 as an Olympic year until Paris 2024, or already until the new cycle? If it`s the furst, then flag football cannot be counted as an Olympic event yet.
  9. Petrzalka was a big sensation. I remember reading an article about them at the time. Even in Bratislava itself it was never a popular club, where Slovan reigns supreme.
  10. This is a golden time for Slovak football. Great Euro 2024 and now Slovan Bratislava in the CL.
  11. No one wrote here before, but a few days ago died Christoph Daum, who will be remembered for coaching Leverkusen in the late 90s.
  12. I would like to believe that after one life comes another.
  13. Carrington currently has 15 World Championship gold medals. I wonder how many he will have by the end of her career?
  14. If Russia's place isn`t confirmed, will the best team from 2 places advance or the best team in the ranking that didn`t qualify?
  15. In my opinion, a system of financing sports should be developed that is independent of the current government or authorities. Such a hypothetical amount of money per year should, for example, increase proportionally to inflation and GDP growth.
  16. In Italy Giovanni Malago- the head of CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) will reach an agreement with any government: the centre-left, the technical government and now the right-wing coalition led by Prime Minister Meloni
  17. According to bookmakers and most predictions we could win about 45 medals, including 12 gold. The number of gold medals was perfectly predicted. In terms of the total medals, we tied with Tokyo - 40 medals but we fell a little short of 45. 20x 4th place played a significant role. We reached the number of 40 medals thanks to a great finish - 10 medals in the last 3 days. However, I wrote earlier that I would prefer gold in women's volleyball than even 4-5 bronze medals more in some individual competition and that's exactly what happened - this is our first gold in a team sport since 2004 and the first in history in volleyball. That's why I consider these games a moderate success, although of course it can always be better.
  18. Montenegro probably had it`s best team just after separating from Serbia? Am I right?
  19. Instead of looking to the south of Europe, maybe they should follow the example of Norway and Sweden?
  20. Objectively, the USA is better because they won many more medals, so in my opinion it's good that they take 1st place here, just as I think we are at a higher level than Korea, even though we won 1 gold less.
  21. All the more so because in winter sports they are also much weaker than they used to be. Maybe instead of choosing cool prime ministers - like this attractive woman - they should choose competent people who will revive competitive sports in Finland?
  22. These are objective calculations that we have the most 4th and 5th places (5th place in judo is the first place behind the podium). On paper we should win about 45 medals here - that's what the bookmakers' predictions indicated before the games. But personally, I prefer gold in volleyball than 4-5 bronze in track cycling or archery.
  23. Peccato che non abbiano rischiato con Balsamo, perché il Paternoster non ha le carte in regola per vincere. Micheli è stata una leggero delusione: 2 medaglie d'oro ai Mondiali nel 2022 e 2023, e nemmeno un bronzo alle Olimpiadi. Grazie ad un ottimo finale (nelle ultime 3 giornate= 10 medaglie), siamo riusciti a pareggiare il risultato con Tokyo e salvare i Giochi + un grande trionfo nella pallavolo. Tuttavia, questo non può oscurare l'immagine che finiamo con 20x4 posti e alcuni giocatori non erano al top della forma. Infortuni come Tamberi, Palmisano ecc. può essere considerata sfortuna.
