I'm a bit of nerwous about today's match against Belgium – they haven't played in the VNL this year, but they already won 3-0 against Ukraine. If we lose, we will at 99% finish second in the group and face France in the Round of 16. Even failing to qualify will be a real possibility, becouse Ukraine is a very dangerous team. Unfortunately, I don't have as much confidence in de Giorgi as I do in Velasco – I was also very nervous with the women's team, but I always had in my mind that the guru was on our bench and knew what he was doing. I don't have that feeling with the men's team.

Old and beautiful polish song from probably the 1960s? (Jacek Lech: "Badz dziewczyna z moich marzen"). Now I have a question for my friends from Poland here: why was this great singer completely forgotten in free Poland after 1989 and why did he die in complete forgotten, as I read in 2007? rafalgorka, 05-monzanator, /22-adriano/?

He was the Chamizo's old rival in the 74 kg category?

I just hope he didn't suffer before he died, but it seems he didn't.

Greece? wow

No, very sad info

In last 2 summer OG you have winning more medals than Germany- your bigger neighbor- you must have a good system, because on paper you shouldn't stand a chance against them: smaller population, lower GDP, less tradition, etc. So either you're that strong, or they're that weak, or maybe both? On paper, Italy also had no right to finish ahead of Germany in the medal table in 2024, but that's what happened.

Nice couple, but a little too perfect for me.

Figure skating in winter, judo, wrestling...

In my opinion Brazil, was also almost robbed in the final by a girl from Poland yestarday: for me, they should have been 5-0, but it was just 3-2. Did you watch that fight?

Cycles, cycles, but here you can see the results of work in everything: medals, gold medals, points places, successes in relays, European Championship victories, etc. This looks like some well-organized program from many years ago, which rarely succeeds in Italy - I would have thought that the Netherlands or the UK would be able to do something like that, not us.

Of course, Tokyo 2021 was absolute over the our actually potential, but things were better just in 2019. Our lowest point was Beijing 2015. In your opinion, what has changed since then, and who is responsible for that? If that someone made some decisions in 2015, the first effects could already be seen in 2020/2021.

But in what year did Stefano Mei become president of Fidal? And whose merit of this progress? Because around 2010-2015, it was a disaster for us: even in 2009, we had zero medals, if not for later disqualifications. If we were any good results, it was only in the race walk and marathon. Even you recently wrote that the progress was enormous.

He used it as a metaphor, I think.

Incompetent sports federation, just like incompetent governments, are subject to evaluation.

There was once a film about Borat of Kazakhstan This is how I imagine someone corrupting those judges in Olympic boxing

So Uzb/Kaz gets everything that Russia should have won + their own share

Whoever ruled our athletics in the first half of the 21st century, culminating in the embarrassing 2015 World Championships, should also burn in hell...

Do you remember situation with Fabrizio Mori in 1999? In that time probably Nebiolo intervened personally? On the other hand, we lost early gold with Fiona May and the gold for the Spanish girls - she barely stepped on the plasticine, so the IAAF gave us back what it had previously taken from us.

In short track he will be probably go to final.

Disgusting...

What`s about Riva?

Now, Canada it`s like a killer nation: McIntosh, hammer throws...
