What the heck is going on today

Do we know the women reallocations?

To think our NT made 0:0 with Romania and 1:1 with Slovenia 10 days ago, while Romania are demolishing Ukraine and Slovenia drew with Denmark

So? For most of these athletes it's going to be a once in a lifetime experience, even for those in their 2nd, 3rd OG it's going to be unique riding a boat through Paris. How is this worse than standing in the stadium for 3 hours.. Unless you have starts on Saturday morning/day, there is no reason not to attend the opening ceremony. The question is how many boats will they use for the French, US, China etc. delegations?

Really weird how this is their first Euro since 2000, but in the meantime they have qualified to 4 World Cups, which is supposed to be much, much harder.

Rudiger already busting people's fantasy teams. Like myself...

It's been 5 years now, can't this guy just move on to a different site

And i was thinking it would be a tough match for Germany, given that the opener is always a more nervous one.

The name wasn't the problem, unlike the structure, calendar, marketing, participations and everything else..

Whoever beats the Africans in the 10 k gets my praise.

It's awesome to see many manufacturers return, but i would have preferred, if they kept it to 2 cars per team. There is no need for 3 AF Corse or Porsche cars, given that other teams use their models as well.

Bulgaria and medals, not really hand to hand this century. I was very pessimistic for Tokyo and somehow we got 6 medals. If we get the same, or even more this time, then it would be another success. And speaking of potential medalists Boxing - Javier Ibanez , who is actually Cuban; Taekwondo - Kimia Alizadeh , who is actually Iranian; Wrestling - Magomed Ramazanov, who is actually Russian; Wrestling - Semen Novikov , who is actually Ukrainian; Wrestling - Aik Mnatsakanian, who is actually / Georgiо-Armenian Anyone else wanting international participation can apply in their local BG consulate As for the medals: Rhythmic Gymnastics - probably 2 Weightlifting - 1 is almost certain, with a chance for a second; Boxing - this could go from 1 to 4, very much depending on draws, referees etc.; Taekwondo - good chance for 1; Wrestling - not confident here, 1-2 if lucky; Very outside chances in fencing and shooting. Kostadinova hasn't been steady in the past year or so, and shooting has one of the tightest competitions, so getting a medal like in Tokyo is going to be a miracle. I'd say a final tally of 6, with 8 if we have a positive outcome in some sports.

Remember when Australia had their trials in March & April and by the time the OG came, their form had mostly passed. The Australians surely don't want to

Tamberi could be in the top 3 (top 5) most recognizable athletes currently in athletics. Lots of people will be stopping him in the Olympic Village.

BNT here hasn't shown 1 javelin throw yet. It's been all high jump and triple jump, with some 10 000m in the last hour.

Are they going to be remeasuring the triple jump scores. 18.18 seems fishy

Can't say i knew who Mumenthaler was a day ago.

Well Italia can't have it all. Tortu still in disbelief. I thought your final metres were supposed to be your strongest sir

When Tortu smashes the 200m, it will be another ecstatic evening in Rome.

Italy charging in the throwing events now too

Zoghlami on the final lap

First sub 49 run at the European Championships, since Marita Koch in 86'

Bravo Natalia, bravo

Caudery the frontrunner to be the cutest British athlete, but not the frontrunner now for the gold medal in poll vault.

Danismaz with 25 cm PB (and NR) in the rain, with a head wind.
