not really feeling it,but i suppose there are national anthems that can actually cause me headache and this doesn't

''fat from an expert'' that's a very interesting statement

i was about to say i stand corrected,quite a few of the wrestlers are current olympic champions,could happen that they end up going all the way

this whole thing seems remarkably pointless

I don't see anyone from there winning gold,soi think it will be a non issue

Wouldn't it be the olympic anthem ?

Josh,i need to make it clear at this point that i'm not even speaking personally here,because i'm not a basketball stan.BUT,do you realize how many of them here would wanna atleast maim you for that take ? it is an insult to them,that that could be considered an accomplishment to our national team nowadays. the team won bronze three times,should of atleast made the final in 2004,but whatever,still made the semis,on 2008,won the world bronze in 2010[that may be the most unexpected medal of all times here, from any sport,NO ONE here thought there was a inkling of chance for that.]the amount of history basketball has,and the team is now at a point,were players are totally not seeing any issue in saying ''LOSING TO ESTONIA IN AN OFFICIAL MATCH ISN'T A TRAGEDY'' it might not be a tragedy but it sure as hell shows how the current player standarts and expectations have went to the toilet.And now personally speaking,in any other olympic sport,yes i understand someone from here being just happy to be there and not expecting too much from themselves,at least for their first games[now i'm a rare case in which i'm fine with that,ask about anyone else who cares about olympics in Lithuania how they wiew those kind of athletes in their minds,you will be stunned at the vitriol]But basketball,absolutely not ,it is not an accomplishment in my mind,for our team to make it to the olympics,it absolutely shouldn't be,and the fact that it can now be considered to be one,shows just how much we have declined in basketball from our glory days which ended absolutely at 2015 as far as the national team goes.

watch me be completely right in july ,and even if i'm not,what does it matter ? look at the draw,we're not making it out of the group anyway.

they you mean,and i already said that previously,i'm not confident at all that this mess of a team is beating Italy.

So yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, our team is fucked,like always the draw for us is garbage,and we get america and serbia in the group if we win,how awesome/s. I honestly rather we didn't,what is the point ? they will just get thrashed

i still don't get why this is a thing,under 23 football as an olympic sport.....someone must have snorted something good that day

Izabela da silva threw 62.75 four days ago for her second best ever result and moved up to 7 in the world rankings.Samantha hall has improved to 62.12,also the second best ever result for her,jumped up to ninth in the rankings.Denia caballero,[the very early season world leader] improved to 64.15 in early march and is currently third.

Lol what ? there still gonna be there regardless ? so is this supposed to be a humiliation ritual or something ? I mean if the ioc wants one of the Russians to be caught flipping the ukrainians off during the ceremony,cool,but that would be fully on them then

I love that suzuki is still here and at her best

them not being at the opening ceremony makes zero sense,you already allowed them to be at the olympics,is this really supposed to be some big win that they won't be at the parade ?

fear porn here,and i'm over it.

Lawrence Okoye improves to 64.47,he's building himself up little by little this year.

For the second week in a row ,he goes to finish in the top 5 from a very late start number,btw Tarjei did that too in like 2009 i think,he was 110 i think,and ended up fourth with one miss,0.1 second behind third,with the bronze going to a swiss athlete who also started late also with one miss,and that was his only medal in his career,so it was for the best that boe didn't come out on top on that occasion.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,Strolia finally gets another 10 out of 10 .

Lampič has done alright,i can't see Ceh being as good at hammer,he would be too skinny for it

lol what ?,how will a Hammer coach be helpful ? plus his biggest coaching win is a para athlete with 6 place at worlds....Yeah this coach is No Jusis,alright guess we will see how long this partnership will last...

I'm aware that the estonian girlfriend was the cause of the issue with the first coach.Can't see her having anything to do with this split.Gonna be really interesting to see how Ceh's season continues on,i saw someone suggest wolfgang as a coach for him on instagram,doubt it's gonna happen,especially with Ceh's record of doing what his coaches want him to do.

Discus update- TRAVIS SMIKLE EXTENDS HIS WORLD LEAD TO 67.83,his second best throw ever.

I could accept the ''his first coach was an asshole'' story.Splitting off with Kanter out of nowhere.....yeah,no something is rotten in denmark,i'm getting the sense he's egotistical beyond it being justifiable.

IRINA RODRIGUES 66.60 OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE .
