  1. After seeing the worlds i dont think that we are so far ahead. I think its one gymnast that gives such advantage that others cant catch up
  2. She should learn to be amazing on the uneven bars in one month. The only apparatus where Simone Biles is human
  3. Great performance by the usa girls (even witnessed one game live this year) but overall it just shows that brazil are unbeatable in any volleyball this year
  4. so the situation is that Hatuel went to a court that denied that request, now she is appealing and protesting it, she really wants to go, it's her last shot since she was retired already, and came back in order to try to make the team through the zonal event. Btw she beat Valentina Vezzali in Beijing.....
  5. common.... still honduras and algeria in the same group, and ronaldo less portugal
  6. did Batistuta play that year? i have a friend that was born in korea but lived in argentina for a long time before coming to america and he is so pissed off right now after the copa, and last years copa and the final against germany, one message about argentina to him and i get like 8 back LOL
  7. i remember 96 so well.... was always a big supporter of the Argentinian football team, and that final against nigeria..... ouch that hurt me for years later
  8. i thought like every olympics that you will win football, even without messi, until the problems started
  9. Agreed but no way the clubs will agree, not with the european championships the same year, world cup 2 years before, and you have the copa right around there as well, players will simply not have any breaks and thats the biggest issue. they have to seriously restructure the whole calendar and have the olympics as the only tournament of that year, doubt that it will ever happen
  10. just like the world cup in their home in 1950 and 2014 huh ?
  11. dont think we will send a team on a moment's notice, anyway they lost , probably Uruguay would be the correct choice
  12. What happens if they withdraw? Someone replaces them or since its so close there will.be only 15 teams in the tournament
  13. this is the latest article about it, i cant translate it and put it here since my system is hebrew as well, but if someone can run it through google translate and put it here it will be great http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4823774,00.html
  14. Delila Hatuel got the quota, however she didnt make the israeli criteria, she had to make final 32 in the european championships or top 16 in an fie world cup competition. She didnt, it's a huge deal, social media trying to convince the Israeli Olympic Committee to let her go however they are refusing. This morning i heard interview with the head of the Israeli Olympic Committee Gili Lustig and he reiterated that since she didnt make the Israeli Criteria she will not be allowed to compete in Rio and the quota will be rejected
  15. Often athletes come to trials and dont work too hard because there aren't too many people that can prevent them from going to the games. in USA case.... it's the opposite, the athletes work so hard to get through the trials and reach their peak about a month too early. Kovacs is fine, i saw him in the prefontaine classic last month and he was really good
  16. hmm.... wiki says the same thing but all over twitter they put his name....
  17. are you sure? thats the image that teamusa put on twitter:
  18. USA Athletics Day 4 800 Men - Clayton Murphy, Brian Berrian, Charles Jock 800 Women - Kate Grace, Ajee Wilson, Chrishuna Williams (Alyssa Montano who missed on the medal in london because of doped up russians knocked down on the last turn and missed the top) Pole Vault Men - Sam Kendrick, Cale Simmons, Logan Cunningham Javelin Men - Cyrus Hostetler, Sam Crouser, Sean Furey (Furey finished 11th, but the field didnt have anyone else who got the OQT)
  19. USA have such a deep pool of talent in Swimming and Athletics (well or basketball LOL) that unless your name is Michael Phelps , Katie Ledecky or Ashton Eaton your place in the olympics is never guaranteed, all it takes is one bad performance in the trials, or bad year like Franklin or Lochte and you are out. BTW Joe Kovacs is the world champion in shot put, also the Diamond League Leader but he didn't have a good performance in the trials
  20. Dont scare me with others. I'm terrified every time i see Chad Le Clos's name already.....
