Wow, Germany just pulled off a literal last second goal and eliminated Denmark from the elite league. This is also great news for us, we are in the Top8.

Well, the girls at least managed to stay among the elite teams for one more year. I kinda doubt that will help us out by beating , but who knows...

Kikaptunk a svédek ellen büntetőpárbajban, de így is megvan a bennmaradás. A Top8 viszont csak akkor lesz meg, ha a németek rendes játékidőben legyőzik a dánokat.

They can't win since I joined (Open 2019). I guess Hungary brings bad luck for the Irish.

The temptation is always high for me to send our own Hungarian Irish band just to see if we would win TISC with them.

Apparently Attila Valter is now officially part of the Jumbo-Visma team. And so are Jan Tratnik and Thomas Gloag. Maybe @heywoodu knows what this means because I don't. But I am guessing Valter is now in a better team compared to FDJ.

And it just got worse for us. beat which means that we will most likely play against Spain in the QFs. And we NEVER beat Spain in women's water polo. It's going to be a 5th place for us at these Euros, at best. If everything goes as expected, the semi-finals will be... v v (I assume that the Dutch will beat Greece this time in our group.) Honestly, at this point it might be better for us to lose against Croatia, just so we can play against Italy in the QF instead of Spain.

Oh, boy, it's not looking good for us. I sure was right when I said that this Hungarian team won't be strong this time. I hope that at the very least we will get the 3rd place in our group.

Sajnos úgy tűnik Keszthelyi nélkül a nyár végére elfogyott a lendület.

Huh, that sure would be quite something. We haven't qualified in dressage since 1936. And the 1996 Olympics were the last time that we qualified for any equestrian event (eventing).

Hungary Honestly, I don't have much of a clue in many sports, but let's try this anyway. Archery Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 0-1 quota That quota for Tokyo was a shocker for me, I have no idea if it can be repeated, I never watch archery outside of the Games. Athletics Tokyo: 18 quotas Paris: 17-19 quotas We usually get the same amount of athletics quotas recently, I don't see any major difference this time. Maybe the 2023 WCh in Budapest can help? Badminton Tokyo: 2 quotas Paris: 0-2 quotas No idea if these quotas can be repeated again. Sárosi and Krausz are getting old, I am not sure if they have the strength to qualify. Basketball - 3x3 Tokyo: 0 quotas Paris: 0-4 quotas We got very close last time so... maybe? But I wouldn't hold my breath... Boxing Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 0-1 quota Maybe by some miracle someone will qualify, but Hungarian boxing is kinda dead, just like the sport itself at the Games. Canoeing - Slalom Tokyo: 0 quota Paris: 0-1 quota We somehow qualified one athlete for Tokyo but then she decided to not compete because she wasn't vaccinated. Maybe we can qualify an athlete again? I don't know. Canoeing - Sprint Tokyo: 16 quotas Paris: 11-17 quotas We should get an almost full team, but there's always a chance for a disaster with the male K4 boat... Cycling - Mountain Bike Tokyo: 2 quotas Paris 1-2 quotas I can only assume that Vas will qualify at the very least. Cycling - Road Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 1-2 quotas I feel like Hungarian cycling has been improving, so maybe we get more quotas this time? Fencing Tokyo: 10 quotas Paris: 7-11 quotas I think we will qualify 2 or 3 teams. Gymnastics - Artistic Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 1-2 quotas Maybe there's enough improvement for a male quota this time? Gymnastics - Rhythmic Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 0-1 quota Can this quota be repeated? I have no idea. Handball Tokyo: 14 quotas Paris: 0-28 quotas I think it's more likely that both teams will fail than to see both in Paris. But you can never know. Judo Tokyo: 7 quotas Paris: 5-9 quotas It's hard to tell how the next two years will go for us. Modern Pentathlon Tokyo: 4 quotas Paris: 3-4 quotas Most likely a full team again. Rowing Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 0-1 quota Maybe we get our one boat per Games again? Sailing Tokyo: 4 quotas Paris: 2-3 quotas I think there will be less quotas for us, but maybe I am wrong. Shooting Tokyo: 4 quotas Paris: 3-4 quotas Maybe we get the same as last time? Swimming Tokyo: 34 quotas Paris: 33-37 quotas Probably around the same as last time. Table Tennis Tokyo: 6 quotas Paris: 3-4 quotas I very much doubt that we will qualify the women's team again. Taekwondo Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 0-1 quota Maybe Salim will be back? Tennis Tokyo: 0 quotas Paris: 0-1 quota We got very unlucky with injuries in Tokyo and our top tennis players got weaker since Tokyo. Maybe someone will qualify. Triathlon Tokyo: 4 quotas Paris: 2-4 quotas Will the relay qualify again? Water polo Tokyo: 24 quotas Paris: 12-24 quotas Losing one of our teams would be a disaster but it's always possible. Weightlifting Tokyo: 1 quota Paris: 0 quotas I think Hungarian weightlifting is officially dead. Wrestling Tokyo: 6 quotas Paris: 4-6 quotas Not sure what are our chances now that the Lőrincz brothers retired. Artistic Swimming, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Breaking, Cycling - BMX, Cycling - Track, Diving, Equestrian, Field Hockey, Football, Golf, Gymnastics - Trampoline, Rugby Sevens, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing, Surfing, Volleyball Tokyo: 0 quota Paris: 0 quota I would be very shocked if we would qualify anyone in these disciplines. Please tell me if I overlooked some quota chance for us. Prediction: 105-189 quotas => 150 quotas So it will be somewhere in between the two extremes as usual, which would be 150 quotas. That would be 20 less than Tokyo, which seems right, I think Hungarian sport is experiencing a decline. But I hope that i am wrong.

Btw, don't expect to be in top form. @Makedonas this your chance to beat us at a major tournament today. Our top player, Keszthelyi, is skipping the ECh because she's getting old and she needs to rest for the next few important events. Other key players are also missing, we got 4 rookies in the team. We still want to win a medal but I wouldn't be surprised if we will be 5th here after the silver at the World Champs.

This Championship feels a bit empty without Russia. The Top5 teams of are so far ahead of the rest of Europe in women's water polo that having 12 teams seems a bit too much. I mean, Spain just won against Serbia by 29 goals.... Even the Quarter-finals will be boring with the exception of one match, the tournament essentially starts at the Semi-finals.

Jesus, that's some women's water polo level of attendance, for a sport/event that's supposed to be infinitely more popular...

A második meccsen a vártaknak megfelelően a csehek simán nyertek.

Nice, so we are officially completing the V4 TISC "tetralogy".

2023 World Champs timetable: https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/63087dd9c5235363651fbbe3.pdf 100 final on our national holiday (Aug 20). That evening session will also have the men's hammer throw final with a Hungarian medal chance, so the stadium will certainly be full.

Az atlétikai Vb programja: https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/63087dd9c5235363651fbbe3.pdf Augusztus 20. lesz a legérdekesebb nap (férfi 100m + férfi kalapácsvetés döntők), szerintem annak a napnak az esti programjára fognak majd legyorsabban elfogyni a jegyek.
