Agger

Fantastic to see 7 danes on the startlist. We haven't had this many since 2000. Had Sagan not been on Tinkoff, it would most likely have been 8. The biggest expectations are of course for Fuglsang, who will be an important helper. It's especially good to see Chris Anker back in the peloton. He will without doubt take part in some breaks and could possibly end up fighting for a stage win or maybe even the polka dot jersey.

It is great that you want to host this contest, but that is no reason for making other people's oppinions count for less. And no, it's not unjust.

Wozzie!

Julia Boserup!

It seems like South Africa is very worried by the zika. Lee-Anne Pace is the first female golfer to say no.

SPOILER ALERT The monk (or whatever he is) is Frank Hvam, who is mainly known in Denmark (some may know him from the tv series Klovn and the more internationally known movies Klown: The Movie and Klown Forever). It's mainly funny because danes do at once hear that it's dubbed. A parody has already been made where you can hear his real voice: I believe it's the first serious role he has ever done!

I am yet to start watching GoT (Will do when I've finished House of Cards), but have been following the comments. Only a few comments on how great it was, but lots about danish comedian Frank Hvam taking part in the episode. Rather funny

That makes 2 of us!

Never underestimate Harrington!

If another one does so, you may risk ending up with only one player.

Though I do agree that zika seems like the easy way out, I do believe that some of them are actually worried. I believe that it's a matter of how they look at the tournament. Men's golf is already popular in many countries, meaning that they don't have as much to win with the olympic participation as women's golf. What I mean is that it is a tournament that is easier to miss for the best men, who will more or less get the same attention during the majors, while the women will without doubt get more during the Olympics. It's still not positive, but I do actually believe that zika is the reason for at least some players.

That means the 3 best Australians out

Some of these may already been written (haven't looked thoroughly at the others) General - Denmark will win more medals than the other Nordic countries (individually) (Finland, Norway, Iceland and Sweden) Cycling - road - Less than half the riders will finish either the men's or women's road race Football - At least 4 matches will be decided in a penalty shootout Golf - A medalist in either the men's tournament will have a round above par - USA will win a medal in both the men's and women's tournament

Yes I am, and both the comments on The 3rd team and former danish elite ref, Kenn Hansen seem to agree

Well. Good evening, pope Francis!

What a shot!

France did the same with Bourgain in 2012 where he dropped out after a couple of kms.

You fought well, but I guess it's goodbye...

Though I've personally wondered about it as well, I just think it's pretty serious, when almost 250 experts on health is worried. I can't help but being a bit myself. But it does seem a bit weird that the experts aren't considering the amount of mosquitos during august and where the zika problems are worst.

He has 2 wins and another 3 top 5 places this year (including tied 5th at US Open)

Well. He is no. 11 on the World Rankings.
