South Africa   0 vs 0   North Macedonia  
South Africa went undefeated in their group. They must be concidered to be the favourite of this match-up against North Macedonia. North Macedonia was the second best 3rd-place overall. Can they pull an upset against South Africa?

Final Result
 

exit polls predicting around 10%, Official results showing 80%

Event moved to April 2021..
 
 

If there is Beijing schedule available already, we could do the Winter edition here ? 

Fiona Ferro vs  Anett Kontaveit in the Palermo final.

I would support France in men's Handball final ?

What about the France-Netherlands final?

As for me, Lyon or Istanbul.

A nice throwback for all of us who watched the OBS feeds 4 years ago.
 

Day 12 Wednesday
 
Today I would watch:
- athletics - M Hammer throw final with Paweł Fajdek as probably biggest chance for Gold for Poland in Tokyo, M 800 final hopefully with Adam Kszczot, W 400 hurdles final with Dalilah Muhammad and Sydney Mclaughlin both in form to beat WR, W 400 semis - who will be faster - Justyna Święty-Ersetic or Lisanne de Witte?, M 110 hurdles powerful semis
 
- equestrian ind. jumping final - But it's coliding with athletics - what an awful scheduling here 
 
- cycling track men's sprint - some Polish-Dutch rivalry is possible here 
 
- Women's handball quarterfinals - with no Polish team, but I would cheer the Netherlands and France on
 
- beach volleyball men's QFs - maybe a Polish pair will be here 
 
- Sky Brown in skateboarding
 
- and last 2kms in open water W swim 
 
PS. And I hope there would be a medal for Lebanon - whatever event.

The perfect sport for the pandemic is fencing. You wear mask and gloves, and if someone comes closer than 1,5 meter to you, you stab them.
