As promised I will update about my mother’s native country Syria in this thread. But before looking forward to Paris 2024 I will tell you about little of Syria’s Olympic History. Syria first participated in London 1948 when Zouheir Shourbagi was their sole competitor in the whole games. He get a 10th place in diving. Syria has 4 Olympic medals in the history. 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze. The Historical Gold is one of my favorite moments ever from the Olympic Games. Ghada Shouaa won the gold medal in Heptathlon at the Summer Olympics Games in Atlanta 1996. My mom was proud, I was proud. Syria‘s three other medalists are: Joseph Atiyeh, silver in wrestling at Los Angeles 1984. Nasser Al Shami, bronze in boxing heavyweight -91 in Athens 2004 Man Asaad, bronze in weightlifting +109 in Tokyo 2020(2021) A woman won the only gold and that feels so good. The last medal came in the last Olympics in Tokyo. Can Syria win any medal in Paris? Let’s see and hope. More updates soon.

I’m give you all the apologies I can. Not happy with my behavior at all. That’s why I’m taking a break from the forum. My emotions are all of the place right now and that affects my behavior in this forum. I will be back with news about . I will be back here too because I love this place so much. But I have understand I need a break. big love to all of you .

Dear @Sindoand the members who actually maybe care about me a little bit I will leave Totallympics in a couple of months. I will still be online and read what happens but I will not post anything. This site has lost it a little bit with its jokes about me and Sweden Handball Team. Will therefore step down and maybe it’s feels better later on Thank you all

Canada 1-1 Finland after the second period. What’s happening?

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! SWEDEN IS IN GOLD MEDAL GAME. The world has ended.

I’m so impressed by all the talent Slovakia produces. Still waiting for a real superstar forward from Sweden. Both for women and men(or girls and boys if you want)

A question which maybe is stupid but do the teams needs to participate in relays if many of the athletes are sick? What about to simple skip at least one run to get the athletes time to recover? Maybe there are rules about it? what I mean is Linn really ready or is she in the team only because there’s no other that can do it?

Sweden’s women

Congrats.

Well most experts have Sweden as one of the main favorites. And you don’t think it’s stupid and arrogant to say it’s an UPSET if Sweden beat Egypt? Especially when the comment was made by someone from Egypt? As I said it’s your problem

Sweden is a bad team, a shitty team that everyone should beat. How can the Swedes even think they have any chance?

Well it’s up to you to see the arrogance and stupidity. If you don’t well then it’s your problem if you like those posts then you agree with the statement that it’s an upset if Sweden wins against Egypt

This guy obviously SUCKS big time. He and his team can be lucky to win against Egypt or any team. https://www.handball-planet.com/handball-planet-com-jim-gottfridsson-is-world-handball-player-2022/

It’s only arrogance and stupidity which caught me.

All this hype that Egypt won against Sweden in the last two Olympics. But it was in the group stage. When was the last time Egypt won against Sweden in a knockout game? And now they need to do that in a full Tele 2 arena in Sweden’s capital Stockholm. With one of the best players in the world in his best form. You are telling me it’s an UPSET if Sweden wins against Egypt?

I think it’s arrogant to say it’s a UPSET if Sweden wins against Egypt. If you don’t see it then you are not better than him.

How can @rafalgorkaeven like these arrogant posts about Sweden? I thought your are better than that. Don’t get why but some people really seems to dislike Sweden in handball

Actually Sweden is the reigning European champion ahead of example Denmark, France and Spain. We also took silver in WC 2021 in your Egypt. What exactly has Egypt done lately to say it’s an upset if Sweden beat them? Believe me Egypt can win against Sweden. But don’t be arrogant to say it’s an UPSET if Sweden wins.

Sweden at home would be an upset if they win against Egypt? Like seriously this must be the dumbest thing I have read in a long time.

Correct! Needed to take this one because I love this lady so much

Ok I assume my answer is correct. Next up: 50.68
