Masarova still would be good for Switzerland, she'd be their highest ranked player now that Bencic is on maternity leave.

2024 European Junior Championships: GOLD: Evangelos Ntoumas - Men's 100m breaststroke

This is so great! The breaststroke has always been our weakest style and now that we have someone promising for the first time in many years, it's a really good sign. Hopefully our medley relay teams should be a lot better in 2028 now that we finally found a good breaststroke swimmer. But of course he needs to continue improving

TEAM 1. Emmanouil Zerdevas 2. Konstantinos Genidounias 3. Dimitrios Skoumpakis 4. Efstathios Kalogeropoulos 5. Ioannis Fountoulis 6. Alexandros Papanastasiou 7. Nikolaos Gkillas 8. Stylianos Argyropoulos 9. Nikolaos Papanikolaou 10. Konstantinos Kakaris 11. Dimitrios Nikolaidis 12. Angelos Vlachopoulos 13. Panagiotis Tzortzatos Coach: Theodoros Vlachos Only 7/13 same players from Tokyo. Kapotsis, Kolomvos, and Mourikis retired from the national team. Galanidis was replaced by Tzortzatos as our backup goalkeeper. Gkiouvetsis and surprisingly Dervisis were cut from the national team in the last few days. Honestly I think this team on paper is stronger than the team that went to Tokyo, we only lost minor players mostly and have some new younger players or guys who were young in Tokyo and barely played are now more experienced but let's see...

Panagiota Dosi got a women's high jump quota, she was originally 1 out. Unfortunately, no other Greeks got in after withdrawals. I will actually be on holiday on Dosi's island during the high jump final, but she probably won't qualify, otherwise it would've been cool if there was some sort of viewing party in the town square or something.

Great result for 21 yo Anastasia Dragomirova at our National Championships for combined events She got a new U23 NR with 5965 points, the previous record was 5927 points from 2000. And her previous PB was 5636 from 2023. She is also now third all-time in Greece for the women's category (our NR is 6235 from 2006). Dragomirova was very good as a teenager in the field events, and Tentoglou's coach wanted to take her and make her a long jumper (she has the U18NR of 6.44 from when she was 16 yo), but she insisted on being a heptathlete. Once the pandemic hit, her results really suffered. She also had some injuries and was only doing shot put for a while. She was always weak in the track events but especially 800m. Today, she got a new PB in 800m of 2:30.50 (she had 2:35.19 from earlier this year), new PB in javelin throw of 50.28 (she had 50.07 from 2023), new PB in the 100m hurdles of 14.37 (she had 14.57 from earlier this year), and equaled her high jump PB of 1.78 (from 2020). Her other results today were 15.15 in shot put (her PB is 15.69 from 2021), 6.05 in long jump (her PB is 6.44 from 2019), and 26.01 from 200m (she has 25.46 from 2019). She still has work to do but it's nice to see her finally heading in the right direction again!

When is the first realistic medal chance of the Games for your nation? Day 2 with the 10km pistol shooting final (Anna Korakaki and Christina Moschi), but it's too random of a sport to expect it, also small chance that day in the men's 400 individual medley with Apostolos Papastamos. When do you think your nation will get their first medal and in which event? Day 5 - Elisavet Teltsidou in judo hopefully Is there a bumper day for your nation where you expect more than one or a few medals to come? If so, what day? Days 7-10, a lot going on, also at the end potentially if we go far in wrestling and team sports. Is there a day when you expect to have not so much competitors from your nation competing or no chances for medals? Day 1 as always, Day 4 too.

They wouldn't have gotten in. The others only got in because of the "singles priority" rule and protected rankings.

I have nothing nice to say about her, sorry. One of my least favourite sportspeople of all time.

He played in men's doubles but lost in the first round. Speaking of Raducanu, Sakkari losing to that thing again was so embarrassing

Caroline Wozniacki Sara Errani Danielle Collins Alexander Zverev Tommy Paul

I'm worried about today's game. We usually beat Croatia and now we are at home, but we have been winning too easily this week and given our history of choking in OQTs, I am scared. Also I was supposed to go yesterday but I've been sick the last few days so I gave my tickets to a friend . I am feeling better but won't be going just for today (I live 5 hours away by car), so it will be a bit bittersweet if we qualify.

Athletics +1 Panagiota Dosi (women's high jump)

I was very young but I have a lot of memories from 2004. Unfortunately, none from water polo.

First time since 2008 for these girls, and Alexandra Asimaki is the only one left from that team. Asimaki is also the only player over 29 on this team, so aside from her we have a pretty young team and everyone else should be able to make it to 2028 as well.

Yes, I remember for Tokyo they updated little by little, it was more exciting that way, I guess now it will be done all at once.

Sorry if this was answered already (it's hard to go through 100+ pages), but when will WA start showing rejected quotas on the Road to Paris? I remember for the Road to Tokyo they were updating it every day after the qualification period so we gradually saw athletes move into qualifying positions.

Tennis +1 Despina Papamichail (women's doubles)

Good start for us, 109-82 win vs , but of course the real tournament begins on Saturday! Giannis was very good with 32 points (11 for 11 FG) in 18 mins played. Also our team went 16 for 31 from 3 points, but of course under pressure this weekend I'm sure it won't be anywhere near as good Also surprising that Papagiannis who is 217cm went 2 for 2 from 3 points

Oh we have plenty of that in Greece as well. People said that about our football team at Euro 2012 and 2014 FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile our team actually made the knockout stages and some Greeks still complained that we sucked

Same for us

I don't understand how these countries can do that to their athletes. If the Hellenic Olympic Committee did that, I'd show up outside their offices and start World War III.
