Peaty with the shocking win

So, any links or TVs to watch this?

Not those of us, who play geography games on their phones.

Have Malta bought enough people this time to actually win I just can't see people voting for France. They have sent similar songs in the past and they have all done awful. El Diablo is the only one that has grown on me, i am not surprised it has climbed into the top 5 on the odds. The juries will hate it, but the fans will pull it to top 10.

I don't know what this is?

Halep with a calf injury, may kiss RG goodbye. But, what about Kerber - bringing a chair, sitting next to Halep and then carrying her bag for her.

Bozhidar Andreev (at 73) is 100% certain of going, you can fully count him in. If you had asked me a few weeks back, i would have said that Grozdev (61) is 90% getting the second spot. But with Hristov's recent good results i think they will wait to see, if he would have a medal chance. Beytula is out of the picture, unless the others are injured or something. How do you see the situation at 109? Are there going to be enough withdrawals, so Hristov can squeak into the medal positions? I still feel Grozdev has the better chance of going.

I wont stop, because, if they used half the effort from looking for excuses into actually doing effective vaccination/ preparation / coordination we wouldn't be in this situation. And this is the nation that was said for decades has biggest work ethic and discipline in the world.. If it was almost any other nation, i could understand the situation. But from the top 5 richest, perfectly organized Japan, it's not acceptable.. And of course no one cares about the Olympics, just before 4 billion people watch every single day. Happens every time. Internet filled moralists aren't the world, no matter how much they scream and cancel in 2021.

OMG can we stop with the planted propaganda polls every damn week! God, how i wish it was august already, so everything can be over and i won't have to bother with the insanely moronic Olympic qualifications, preaching internet nutjobs and the country of Japan acting like a child going through puberty..

Croatia was the only decent one out of these

Groenewegen was up there in his return. He is going to snatch a win soon. It would be sooner than Nizzolo, who is going to break the record for Giro second places.

Well that's it. Angelov with another bust.. He shouldn't even have competed, but they all wanted to give him a proper farewell. AGAIN. He already screwed the previous tournament, but noooo he is senior captain. Both men's Freestyle and GR coaches teams should be fired after this Olympics debacle. Get fresh faces for Paris, it can hardly get worse.

Where do i start Lack of development systems, small funding, very few good coaches, general disinterest in children to do sports. Majority of current children don't want to do sports, even for fun.. From the times i was at school (circa 2008-10 ) we couldn't find a pitch to play football and now it's 10 times less children that i see playing outside.. Plus, you know in the 20th century there were different times. Communism was 95% a negative thing, but when it came to sports, coaches, staff, from every sport went to every school in every town and picked children to train. It was an honor to be selected then. Now it's the free market.

Nah, told you he has no chance, i know my guys Dimitrov doesn't have the experience or abilities to win a serious match. First above average wrestler he get and it's done.

Ganna seemed he can't lose a ITT and now has lost 3 in-a-row. I'm here to see, if he will make it 4. Going with Cavagna for today.

She is doing an excellent job, unlike the man, who is constantly butchering stuff. Too bad i can't find out, who she is

Infatic win for David Dimitrov in the last 10 seconds, but he looked completely gassed by the end. And this will be his only win, as Rasul Chunayev will destroy him in the 1/8. Aleksandrov lost in the first match, like he has been doing for the last few years, surprise, surprise. Time to retire. Angelov and Mnatsakanian are the only bright sports, but i'm not holding my breath...

Azerbaijan is flopping hard in these qualifications (at all for Tokyo) and their only quota now is from Bulgarian Manolova...

People who don't usually watch wrestling find women's freestyle very appealing, because the action is non-stop. The girls usually go for many attacks and their defense isn't very good, which makes the matches very exciting. The men's matches have way more tactics and "dead space" until 1-2 vital attacks, that will get you the win and then you wait out the clock. It's much more hard to make a fireworks men's match in modern times.

Happy for the South American girls, they are doing better, than i would have predicted. Got some very good wins over more traditional wrestling nations.

One day until the Giro starts and no topic or mentions. Guess too many Olympic qualifiers taking attention at the moment Simon Yates goes in the favorite but Ineos/Sky are with a giant team again. If Bernal shows in a half-decent form, he could have an easy path for victory. Cycling legend Vincenzo Nibali goes in with more GT podiums than all other riders combined, but sadly he won't be in contention for top 5, maybe even top 10, after his recent injury amid his already declining form in the last few years. And finally we have the much awaited return of Remco, and i'm expecting fireworks and him to go bananas.

This is how it works, because the rules are set this way.. Why bother popularizing any sport, when you can print the documents and "hire" a few people to secure the budget. This is the most important thing. Being an Olympic sport gets you Government funding. You say a dying sport. Well that can be said for half of the Olympic sports. Do you think more than 10 nations will still care about wrestling, if it's not an Olympic sport, or archery, or taekwondo, or canoeing, or diving and i can go on. Heck, some of them can't even get 10 competitive nations now. You save sports from the bottom -> up. Interest is not given, it's built. But that is work, hard work! You have to start from the children, from the schools, you have to have clubs, town clubs, regional clubs, coaches, staff, facilities. But no one wants to wait 10 years for this. It's much easier to get 3-4 Russians etc. to have some results, get the funding and if something else pops, it's a bonus. I have said it numerous times here, but switching nations should be made extremely hard. To represent you have to be born there, or both parents have to be from the country, or you have be living there for 15 years (even though in modern free times, this not very relevant) or take a lengthy non-compete clause (4 years at minimum like a doping ban). And i know this would never happen. Because all these sports will shoot themselves in the foot, because the "quality" and number of nations will drop. Or they will bring some EU law, about work rights, human rights etc. Like almost every football club has 10/11 foreign players in their line-ups.

Of course not. Wrestling has become worse than table tennis. Everyone naturalizes athletes, it has become absurd. Us included, to absolutely no point, since they can't do shit...

Bad draws all around for our people, i like maybe only 2 peoples sections. The rest will have to beat some favourites to get the quota.
