I hope that those sources are right. There should be some rule of inelegibility (2-3 years). Having some Russian competing for X country same year he wrestled for Russia is a total nutjob. I think that some Uzbek medalist is also from Russia. At least Uzbekistan shouldnt import them.

One incredibly rare thing - Romanian W8+ included rowers from 3 different crews, of which 2 won a medals! W8 consisted of girls from W2, W2x and W4. What a brave decision!

I hope that IOC will start uploading videos until end of August.

I posted an article where USADA is being investigated for letting confirmed doppers competing. USA is on juice, as (i am afraid) many other countries.

I am still a dreamer. Dreaming about sports where athletes are role models. Cant see Grinner and co as such.

Probably. But at least no one was arrested for possession of PS.

So, Taurasi was in the team just to win 5th gold. Obvious choice by Reeve considering all the factors.

Weed smoking team will win this. But France, HUGE respect! Perfect ending of troublesome Games.

Lets go France, you can do it!!!

This happens when Caitlin Clark isnt on roster.

51-49 for France

UWW should do something to prevent this "mercenary" syndrome going pandemic. In theory, in 4 years we could have only Iran, USA and Japan (in FS) having domestic wrestlers only. Lets face it, having 14 Russians (Dagestan, Chechnya, Ossetia) in one category isnt something wrestling needs.

Nevermind, France cant cope with this opportunity.

If France keeps the score active after 3rd, USA will face something unimaginable.

Ne znam sta reci... Moglo je sve ovo mnogo bolje. Bilo je puno ogromnih pukotina, fundamentalnih gresaka. Puno sportista su ovdje dosli slucajno, nezainteresovano. Neki sportovi moraju da se hitno presaberu jer bas nista nije valjalo. Ipak, 3 zlata donekle vade utisak. Hvala svima koji su donijeli medalje, ponos ste! Jedan komentar bonusa. Jako mi je zao sto nam je klub bio prilicno neaktivan tokom igara. Znam da je makar dio nas bio pod utiskom losih nastupa ali svejedno, mislim da nam je ovo od 2012 najneaktivniji period. Takodje se nadam da ce svi clanovi kluba biti aktivniji u narednom periodu. Hvala svima na pisanju

I am here from 2012, so answer is quite obvious.

Terrible quality of the final. I hope that France can keep up with this style.

This is number of sports China participated in from 2000 until 2024: 2000 - 28, 2004 - 28 2008 - 28 2012 - 23 2016 - 26 2020 - 30 2024 - 33 That's one of the reasons for my statement.

I am speachless! Was looking for Serbia - Montenegro final (obviously) but this victory is so unbelievable! These guys are so awesome. Getting a gold 3rd time in a row, with many new players... So proud!!!

I give a credit to China because they are improving in every sport there is. Breaking, rhythmic gymnastics, very consistent in canoe sprint, boxing... I saw many videos of their kindergarten children exercising, they are all lean, their reflexes much faster than of western children. One benefit extra of this olympic battle is that millions of Chinese children will be more healthy by practicing sports. Unlike USA children and overall population who are obese.

Fishy as - something has to be changed, one nation winning everything isnt way to attract more athletes and so on. It collides with IOC basic principles. Whole system must be changed to give an equal opportunities. Diving today is based only on a battle for bronze, nothing more. If that situation happens once, nothing strange. If that situation repeats all the time, then something needs to be done or changed.

IOC reduced number of events and athletes in many great sports. Thats a huge issue that new P. must solve. Breakdancing is a total mess, total fiasco. Surfing is mostly boring to watch but i still liked it. Skateboarding doesnt need both street and park, only one event is enough. All mixed events are boring and should be excluded. IOC must influence general public, not vice versa.

True. I always wanted their loss just for the sport reasons. After watching their moves and attutude in the final, i want their loss because they seem to be rude, vulgar, nasty bunch of MoFos. Respect towards opponents is mandatory, but they are probably just too ignorant to understand that basic human rule.

Just watching a replay. Deserved win but this USA team is a disgrace to all normal beings. Their behaviour is shameful, their attitude is pitiful. Day will come when their best team will lose. And that will be a very nice day.

I am glad that justice was done, but IOC and FIG should be ashamed to select this kind of refs/judges/jury. Mistakes they were making were obvious even to untrained eye.
