Please ... just stop, reading your comments physically hurts me. The 2021 olympics were the best for german swimming since 2008 and it is the first time that more than one person won a medal since 2004 and the first time that a german men won a medal since 2000. Seeing how you constantly write bullshit with absolute conviction, when you clearly have no clue what you are talking about, actually makes me angry. One last point: Unlike many other countries Germany doesn't try to push the athletes to dope by offering crazy rewards (Germany pays less than half for a gold medal than Slovakia for example). When i see the rewards for bulgarian athletes and look at the state of their anti-doping-system, it seems like a no-brainer to dope if you are a remotely talented bulgarian athlete.
Could you please explain to me what is the state of the Bulgarian anti-doping system? The national anti-doping centre is certified using the same requirements as any other one in EU:
https://anti-doping.government.bg/en/
Let's also check the medals Bulgaria won at Tokyo:
Gold in rhythmic gymnastics - an entirely skill based sport
Gold in karate - a sport where technique is the primary way to win
Gold in boxing - a sport where judges decide your faith regardless of your strength and stamina plus it was in one of the middle weight categories
Silver in pistol shooting - steady hand and good mental strength required
Two bronzes in female freestyle wrestling - again a technique based sport
In which of the sports above did you last heard of any notable names worldwide as dopers?

I always felt he got robbed there, as the World Rowing themselves had a precedent at some Junior Worlds when a dead-heat result in shared medals.
And to think swimming and bobsleigh are only too happy to share as many medals as possible for their 30-60 seconds efforts...
I know the feeling. Well, at least he can return now and make a win even sweeter. It will be very demanding though.

Brazil's not in on the slow start idea!
I just hope the game won't end for the Germans as bad as it did for the French against Mexico

France looked like an amateur team here. Considering how many young talents they have in both domestic and other European leagues, then FIFA and IOC really have to consider some changes for the Olympics to come, on how to avoid such games from happening. Maybe beach or indoor football? Some pressure on big clubs to let at least U23 players participate? Don't know but they cut quotas in swimming and athletics while at the same time a sport where the World Champion loses 4:1 with it's D-tier team is taking huge number of the spots of more deserving athletes in other events.

So many missed opportunities for Mexico At least they showed that Japan are not as scary as they seemed after their convincing win over Australia.

Mexico doing great so far. They are giving Japan some tough time.

Watched a nice documentary about Abbot's live in Japan where she plays on club level now-days. Big fan of her since then.

For Bulgaria
Realistic: 2
Optimistic: 4
Pessimistic: 0
Biggest chance of a medal comes from women's wrestling. We also have slight chances in boxing, rhythmic gymnastic, pistol shooting, judo, weightlifting and karate. Overall, this is one of the weakest and smallest teams we have sent to the Olympics for ages.

Side Poll
1. Who were the most unexpected Qualifiers(Team/Individual) from your nation?
2.Which athletes/teams ' not qualifying from your nation hurt you the most?
1. Polina Trifonova in table tennis
2. Men's volleyball team after a 2:3 defeat by Brazil at home during the Olympic qualifier. They were leading 2:0 and allowed a complete comeback by the Brazilians
No taekwondo professional with two of our men being the first outside the qualifiers
Tsvetana Pironkova in tennis, despite playing at level well above her current ranking
Mitko Tsenov and Georgi Tsonov in athletics, both fractionally outside the list of qualifiers

Not surprising, ego-maniac Grigor Dimitrov is not going, as he can't be bothered. We are also rejecting one women's quota in shooting, which led to a mini-scandal today. We had 3 quotas won, but apparently only 2 people from a nation can enter the events, so 1 girl is not going. This begs the question, what kind of a qualification system they are using in shooting..
Also, only 5 people in athletics, oh my, oh my We can't even fill the lower tier rankings anymore.
I feared this would happen with Grigor. He did not participate in the Davis Cup during the qualification period, so I think he is ineligible. On top of that, he signed for the Los Cabos tournament a few weeks ago, so I saw it coming. Could there be some conflict with the Bulgarian Tennis federation, maybe? He does not appear at Sofia Open, he does not play Davis Cup and now he is out of the Olympics. No matter how good he is at the game, his attitude is not appropriate for a person, saying how much he loves competing for his nation, every second interview.

All I meant is that rarely a cheater is exposed during major International competitions in these sports (especially Olympics). Usually weightlifting, cycling and athletics are the leaders by miles. Now that I saw the figures from WADA, I have been surprised by the high percentage of dopers in boxing and wrestling. Sorry if I mislead somebody. Apparently equestrian is the absolute "champion" percentage-wise
