Agger

Do you know anything about his strengths and weaknesses?

Remember that it's still up to the IOC in august

8 of the positive tests from the London games were russians

Hi Serbians. My football team (AGF) has just signed with the serbian goalkeeper Aleksandar Jovanovic. Do you know him and can you tell about him?

Slow but steady, I'm moving up the rankings!

23 positive tests from London 2012 as well. 6 different countries and 5 sports http://www.olympic.org/news/reanalysis-reveals-banned-substances-in-23-a-samples-from-london-2012/249294

It's a fact that the times nowadays are faster! He explains some of the factors, which especially is a matter of technology (the running surface, knowledge about the ideal body types for different events and changing swimming pool just to mention a few). He even makes a great comparison with Jesse Owens, who with modern surface and starting blocks would be second at the Worlds in 2013. And that's even without our knowledge about the best training, body types and so on. Thereby he exactly states that the difference between now and then more or less is about what we know now that we didn't know back then! Is that cheating? No. It's completely natural that we use our knowledge. Even the poorest countries know more about the ideal athletes than the richest countries back in the first half of the 20th century.. Therefore we of course can't just look at the records to talk about who is the best ever. We have to remember the context. Please watch the video before you complain about it. But I still don't understand why you mention the prehistoric man. That's completely irrelevant.

How is he wrong? He doesn't say anything about the prehistoric man being slower.

Take 15 minutes and watch this. Then you would understand why the difference is this large!

No. It should be more or less done in june, but Cookson is worried: http://espn.go.com/olympics/cycling/story/_/id/15730411/uci-president-very-very-concerned-rio-olympics-velodrome-construction

Great that our good season has given a quota for the men as well. Will be interesting who they send. Our huge talent, Simon Andreassen or Sebastian Fini who's slighlty more experienced (but still young)

http://www.worldrowing.com/events/2016-fisa-european-and-final-olympic-qualification-regatta/schedule

Yes. He has 25

This will be 2 long weeks for the danish rowers. Either we will have the defending Olympic Champions or our 2nd faroese athlete in Rio.

Does that rule include both the European and the Final international? I knew that Sverri and the lightweight double sculls couldn't both qualify (if they both do, the lightweight double sculls will be selected), but not that Nina and Lisbeth (being in the Final international and not the European) could be losing because of that as well (I'm guessing that if it is so, Udby will be selected)

All 4 danish easily through to the final tomorrow. Hoping for the maximum 3 qualifications!

Damn you, Canada?

Annika with a huge win in Alpstadt. Hope she can keep up this shape!

And it's won! Even without our 2 best doubles and Jan Ø a bit injured (it is said that he wouldn't be capable of playing a 3rd set), we made it.

We're so close to the win. Just 9 games left, Vittinghus!
