Kellie Harrington into the final again 

no , when Russia leaves , zelinsky will declare the win allowing Nato to build their military bases   , divide Russia and steale their resources 

You're only permitted one quota in each discipline  at each qualifying event, I believe.

ISSF has rules that every country can qualify only one athlete from one competition. So no matter that there 2  in the final. Even if they won gold and silver, it still would be 1 spot for  

Another lawn bowls finals 
 
Lost 11-20 to  In group stage. 
 
We were 3-8 down and at the 14th end 10-12 down with 1 end left. Scored 3 in the final end to reach finals. 

I think the hate from the Commonwealth Games comes from people relating it to the British Empire.
 
I like it because of the level of play thanks to the top nations still buying into it. Outside of the Olympics and Asian Games it probably has the highest level of play. This year is a bit of an exception due to the sport calendar essentially merging 2021 and 2022 into the same year, especially in athletics since the World Championships literally just ended.

Yup its important. Can't stress the importance of having world class facilities. Canada's 2020 Olympic success can be mainly contributed to the 2015 Pan Am Games.

Nah I always look forward to CWG and find it unique. Indeed not many people like the background of the Games, but just let them be… I just want extra dose of high class multi event

Hey fellow Totallympians
 
I have an announcement to make about my role as Prediction Contest manager and the future of prediction contests. From the beginning of the next year, I would like to step down as sole Prediction Contest manager. As my time at the university is coming to and, I would like to focus more of my time on applying for job positions from the beginning of next year. Also one of the reason behind my decisions is that I have been much less active in the threads since I became Prediction Contest manager. Especially during the Olympics with five prediction contests which took most of my time during the day. I felt quite stressed during that period. But I knew the period would be short and end a couple of weeks later. For Beijing 2022 I definitely need some help, as there would probably be more predicton contests than during Tokyo. I know my life will change with more time focused on applying for a job position. Plus I have a personal life that means everything to me and I would like more time for that. 
I plan to still be part of the prediction contest group, but I would mostly only be able to manage 1 contest per month. I would therefore like to ask if someone or more people  on the forum could be interested in being my co-manager/s from the beginning of 2022. I would guide the person/people in how to run the prediction contests. Make prediction design, etc... And by time, that person/people will take over the role as manager/s.
 
 
I hope by getting a co-manager/s, and by time stepping more down, I will find a balance to both manage my work and private life. Also additionally, have more time to be active on this forum in other ways. My passion is athletics and I want to be more active in that thread and also have time for especially winter sports who also gives me great pleasure to follow. 
 
In short, I would like to seek for one or more co-managers at first by the beginning of next year. If anyone is interested to become co-manager or hear more about it, you can send me a PM and we can talk about it.
 
I hope there will be at least someone who would like to take over my role by time. I really enjoy these prediction contest and I know many really appreciate the work me and all those before me have made to make these contests possible. I hope these contests can continue to bring together the community on Totallympics. 
 
That's all from me,
Wumo

Olympics channel

1.  Difficult to rate, but ... 8/10.
 
Would have given 7 or even 6.5, if we didn't have the magic in the penultimate day. The games started with a silver and ended with a gold, so only good vibes will stay now, but the few days in the middle have been very depressing. 
 
2. Suprises : The Men's HOCKEY BRONZE! I can't overstate how crucial that was for the future of the sport in India. Now the required investment will come, there will be rise in interest about it and I think we can get a world class team in a few years. Upwards from now.
Although we were hoping to reach Semi and in the process making a slight upset (if you call it that) against a better team (on paper and recent result wise). We finished second in the group and did beat the strong countries of recent times. So a nice effort.
 
Lovlina's Bronze in Boxing is a bit surprising but not much since she was favourite to reach QF, and then we were rooting for her to beat atleast one of the seeds. Good that she avoided Turkey and China both. A lot of credit to her and very important for Boxing in India, after the loss in interest due to lack of results and also absurd scoring system.
 
Sindhu on paper wasn't a medal favourite, given the run she was in, but we always knew she performs on big occasions. So, a very minor surprise.
 
And, FINALLY, Neeraj Gold. Honestly I wished if he can get atleast a medal, so that we will have the first Athletics medal of independent India and one without a controversy (GB claims Norman Pritchard's 1900 Paris medals as theirs, although IOC gives them to us). Sad that Milkha Singh just passed away and couldn't watch this historic moment.
Surely, I thought Gold is not in the cards, as there was certain someone named Vetter competing, but what a result and what a disaster for Vetter. 
 
Heartbreaks : Well, a lot, which could have made this Olympics one of the worst, in terms of not sustaining the momentum (and also, funding). 
 
Shooting Team. Well, they performed their absolute best in the WCs and we were one of the top nations in terms of medals (if not the TOP). We didn't get anything in Mixed Team Pistol after winning 5 golds and a Silver in the last 6 WCs (also second team won some bronzes and a silver I think). Now there is a lot of in-fighting coming up to the surface. Well, I hope they recover. 
 
Amit Panghal - He just ran after winning the first round. Really pathetic performance as a world no 1.
 
Vinesh - Don't know what went wrong with her.
 
Mary - Didn't expect a medal honestly but was hoping against hope. Really a tough, controversial, and heartbreaking loss to take. But salute legend, for what you have done!
 
Both Hearbreaks and Surprise:
 
Women's Hockey Team: Well, the way they reached SF beating Australia was superb. First time in Olympic Semi and then lost two close matches (especially the bronze one). Heartbroken but proud.
 
Aditi Ashok (Golf): Absolutely devastated the way she lost her medal. She had no right to be there among the medals for three straight days with a world ranking of 200, and weak tee shots. But she did unbelievable, heartbreaking how the ball didn't went in, in the penultimate hole in the last day, which cost her the medal. Didn't sleep the night to watch golf from 3am and was absolutely depressed till late afternoon before Bajrang's medal and then Neeraj's magic. Anyway, Hats off Aditi.
 
3. We had three targets I guess.
 
First double digit medal haul - which we didn't manage to achieve because our heavy favourites choked (apologies for the unkind word) at the big stage.
 
Better London Tally - Happened. This is our best ever Olympics.
 
Win a Gold Atleast - After all the disappointments, we got an unexpected gold from our last participant in the Games!
 
4. I see Hockey will now have greater fundings. Wrestling and Badminton will continue to have support, being the most consistent sports for us in the recent games. Bhavani Devi and Aditi Ashok made Fencing and Golf a bit popular in the Games, though not sure if they will be funded much.
 
Athletics, Boxing, Weightlifting can have increased fundings. Although a lot will depend on what IWF and IOC do with the latter.
 
We spent so much on our Shooters in recent years and I fear the Rio and Tokyo debacle might catalyse a fund reduction!

You´re welcome.

We wish, but we have +5 not +6 difference from Rio (2 to 7). It could have been better if our top medal contenders performed, but well.... can't complain much after how it ended!

What I find interesting is that non-European nations climbed over us compared to Rio, but we have the same placement on the European ranking behind the "Big 5" of           and the one mid-sized nation of . There's a big gap between these 6 European nations and the rest of Europe,  is in the middle of that gap. 
 
The Dutch are now what countries like      were not that long ago, they are now the country representing the mid-sized European nations (in terms of population) in the top10 of the medal table. The rise of Netherlands and fall of the Warsaw pact countries kinda represent how Western Europe has evolved over the years at the Summer Games while post-Soviet countries slowly lost their strength after the fall of communism. The Dutch are on the level in Tokyo where we were in Barcelona, for us that was the last time where we had a chance to realistically win 10+ gold and 30+ total medals, Tokyo might just be the start for Netherlands to win 30+ medals per SOG from now on. 

Cheers to the Managers of the website forum.

Quickly scrolled through because somehow I had a horrible feeling that there would be an "Totallympics will end after Tokyo" post  
 
Nothing like that, the relief is huge. Now I'll read  

Congrats on India's best ever Olympics!
