Well it's in Tarragona, and that's mostly a pro spanish field in Catalunya. Also Torra is a racist asshole, so it doesn't help...

Torra

the booing

Teledeporte would air Triathlon

Who was the Slovenian flag bearer?? Acording to national broadcastes it was a women gymnast, but pretty sure he looked like a men.

It's from GimnasTic (You can see the white C in the last seats), is the name of the football team that plays in that field

Well It wasn't Spain's desition. Men's foil is out best fencing event. Also, we wanted Race Walking un but It was left out due to low entrys past games. The only thing Spain probably push for was Womens hammer, due to Berta Castells being from Tarragona and probably wanted a local icon. All other Athletics event taken out of the calendar were the least competitive in Mersin.

But, you know that our National TV is taking it seriously when they're going to shoot during the Mediterranean Games an episode of Spanish biggest TV show, Celebrity Masterchef

I know is not that bad, but I was expecting full coverage of spanish games in handball and waterpolo, to be honest.

Teledeporte would only air the finals of swimming, athletics, karate, badminton, gymnastics and team sports

Mireia Belmonte, spanish flagbearer

Actually Claudia's story is "interesting" She's a basket player turned athlete actually. She played with Spain in an U17 World Championships before because she has double nacionality, but because she played with Andorra in the 2011 Eurobasket C U16, she's only eligable to the Spanish rooster as the "nacionalizated" spot, Because of Spain also having Astou Ndour at the same age, she wasn't going to international competitions so she switched to Andorra again. So she's a pretty decent level basketball player actually

And ver The Vatican in it too!!!!

I can't see Israel in here. Palestine should be. Same for Jordan and Bulgaria, seeing how Portugal got in..... I would push for Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Romania too, to be honest. Even Hungary and Austria, close enough for me. Gibraltar isn't an IOC member so I couldn't see this working, but I wouldn't mind the UK.

TEAMS RANKED BY MEMBERS 419 396 356 310 300 226 196 177 174 140 127 123 114 099 072 070 059 057 040 034 033 030 022 021 016 011

Well, my knowledge about Sailing is limited so I really don't understand the different boats in a mayor extense. But I can imagine that two different ships can't race togheter, so there goes the end of my idea. A Relay in sailing sounds awfull.

If the 470 went to became a mixed event like Nacra, with a crew of 1 men and 1 woman, I wouldn't be pissed, to be honest. I never understood the difference between 470 and 49er ship, so if 470 becames mixed I'm happy and fits for me. About the Finn being mixed, I don't know. Really, if it is a team event I would love to see mixed regatas, and the result points are added to a team, could make for a more interesting event than individuals cause two ships are involved per country and anything can happend. Mixed kite, meh. It's a different enough event to all the other sailing classes, I really hope IOC would give World Sailing one more medal event so they can have different sexes events in this one and made a great debut at the games.

Reading the Futsal qualification process, it sais you can qualify both teams

Well, Portugal and Andorra aren't Mediterranean either

The groups for the 3x3 basketball MEN'S Group A: Group B: Group C: Group D: WOMEN'S Group A: Group B: Also, the following event's dissapear from the competition, due to low numbers of people participating: Athletics: 1500 Men's T54 Bowls: Raffa individual women, and men's and women's doubles. Wrestling: 125kg men's Boxing: -49kg Weightlifting: Men's -62kg Shooting: Men's Skeet Rowing: LW2x

So Portugal seems like a great addition to the games, they seem commited to them and send a lot of sport teams. Hoping this would open other countrys to join the games, like Bulgaria or other asians like Iraq.

Japan also has the Girls Rugby qualifiyed, so they have to choose what to send. If they choose to discart Rugby, the place would go to , who already has girls handball and hockey to choose from, so propably they'll reject their Rugby and it would go to third placer If they choose to discart futsal, the 3rd place winner would take it (still to play between and ). Thailand already has beach handball girls team qualifiyed. In conclusion, a lot of realocation is coming from Asia.
