French athlete Yvonne Curtet-Chabot has died.
She was 104 and the oldest Olympian.

Big thumbs up to Artem Levchenko for throwing a Pb to make the final.  

Also Gebrasy qualified to final of selections in  
 

Hell no, our home track is Sigulda, and our only track is wooden and located in the small city of Kremenets. And despite that we had 2x 4th place from our skeletonist Vladyslav Heraskevych and bronze in luge team relay

In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier

I will update the thread with some news later, but most important news is that Gebrasy known as @Werloc will once more compete in Lithuanian selections p

Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck? 

Ukraine defeated Hungary, Italy and France and first time in the history of our fencing is in FINAL 

The Olympic Bronze Medalist Tara Babulfath of Sweden  is the new European U23 Champion. This as a 18-years old and after a 3 months suspension. No one can stop our girl.

Wow! 5 goals in less than 3 minutes for  so 3rd place for them.   4th place.
 
 
 7 - 1 

Acrobatic Gymnastics quotas as listed by the FIG: 2025_TWG_Chengdu_ACRO qualifiers.pdf

5 goals by Oliinyk leads to  pulling off a HUGE upset over reigning Paralympic champions  in the men’s goalball semifinals! 

Ukraine won first ever medal in women's lead - and it's a silver for Kazbekova, who finally won a medal from EuCh

Double one for Bebe
She was at the Olympic Ceremony too

I don't want to start writing at this topics, but unfortunately Iryna Glibko, who was our captain and leader in women's handball team, died at age 34 due to oncology. 
 
I always joked that if we could clone Glibko 5 or 6 times, we will be at the top-level competitions, she was so strong and so sunny..... I missed her so much, hope she's in the better place now 😭

🇺🇾 Juan Izquierdo, 27, football player from Nacional. He had an arrythmia in the end of the match against Sao Paulo in Copa Libertadores, then cardiac arrest and brain damage before death. Shocking news, the saddest part is that he has two little kids and the younger one was born a couple days ago.

Honestly I think my favourite part about the breaking at the Olympics was the reactions of angry people with foam on their mouths on social media  

I'm not speaking for Ukraine, we lost our medal by ourselves, it's not a big problem for me in case of judging. The bigger problem is the artistry score and the absence of detailed protocols describing all elements. We already have that in figure skating, so why we can't have it in RG? The answer is simple - because Russia didn't want to do that, it will kill their chances. 

Two mediocre performances but affiliation with Russia is definitely a key to success in this sport. They have no artistry, received small amounts of penalties, showing hideous programs and this concludes to gold, because they were training in Russia for 4 or 5 years long. 

Rigged gold for China and their pro-putin coach Blyzniuk and these girls who trained in Russia a lot. Awful Olympics for rhythmic gymnastics, at first you have Russian Varfolomeev, who thinks that 5 major Ukrainian cities and regions are Russia, and then you have Chinese girls.
