Din pacate la multe sporturi nu prea mai avem nicio sansa la medalii, ca alta data...

will not be defending their Olympic title in the Men's Eight or the silver medal they won in the Women's Eight as they have decided not to send a crew for these events at the Last Chance Regatta. 
 
New Zealand Rowing holding trials this week to decide whether to field boats at the LCR for Women's Pair, Women's Quadruple Sculls and Men's Quadruple Sculls.

O oportunitate extraordinara de-a acumula experienta la cel mai inalt nivel posibil. Am incredere ca Rath poate construi o echipa competitiva si ca, peste 4 ani, ne vom califica prin propriile merite la JO

I watched the match from the stands; Koliadenko was better, no doubt about it. It's a special matchup, as you pointed out and maybe, someday, this will be the final of a more glamourous competition (WC/OG). Zelenykh is a gifted athlete and I think she has a big improvement potential. I didn't know her personal drama; can't really imagine what it feels like to know your world is shattered down by some lunatics. My heart goes out to her and hope that, at some point, she'll be able to fully heal her soul. Slava Ukraini!

Maybe 'cause the physical energy loss is huge; also, there are lots of players who foul out during regular time

Bronze for our Maria Prevolaraki in the 53kg. This is now her 8th European Championships medal, and she also has 3 World Championships medals. Unfortunately none of these medals have been gold!
 
She said after Tokyo that she would go until Paris, so hopefully she can at least win an Olympic medal if she is going to end her career this year (would be her first Olympic medal).

A special momet in women wrestling final 65 kg.
Iryna Koliadenko won gold for  Ukraine and she beated another Ukrainian wrestler in the final.
Kateryna Zelenykh found a new home in Romania , her native city of Bakmut was totally destroyed by russians.
 
Our total result is good enough for this squad ( 1 gold + 3 silver + 2 bronze) but it could be better.
Hope we will add 4 or 5 Olympic licenses to our only one won by Koliadenko in 62kg.

Spot on.
Great result for our team; Bogdan Rath has managed to rebuild it from scratch

Yes, you are the alpha and omega of rowing

11 boats qualified for the Olympic Games, it's absolutely fantastic, 44 athletes out of a possible 45. Rowing is by far the number 1 sport in Romania, I hope for some very good Olympic Games from the Romanian rowers. Good for them.

Once again we witness the reason why the eights are the iconic race of rowing and will always be. You can't buy magic

Gold for  Indonesia!!!

Romania just rulzzzzzzzz
@phelpsthanks for maestro Colamonici :P

Quick question: can previous sessions (i.e. the previous days and specifically the A-B semis) be rewatched somewhere?
