Quotation from the head of russian ski federation, Elena Vaelbe: "It seems to me that if we dropped a serious bomb in the center of London, everything would be over by now, we would be allowed everywhere."

And here we go! Withe the best practices of elections in russia. Furthermore - Roberto Rivello who chaired voting session did not allow any questions to candidates.

UKRAINE I am not a musician at all so it is rather about cool video ) Brunettes Shoot Blondes - Knock Knock All the credits are under the video at Youtube ) P.S. It it would be about voice I could nominate, but it is not allowed (released in 2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aPCl8mcoX8

At least we do not have Krmeliov as candidate (I know he could not stand for the office, but he did not know and wanted to do this )) ) Personally, I do not trust Coventry - a former member of Mughabe government is not a right choice for the Olympic Movement. It is very interesting that russians in public prefer AL HUSSEIN or SAMARANCH. And they are veeeeeery accurate on Coventry. So she may be a real person who will get their money for campaign. Another interesting observation - russian media claim that LAPPARTIENT is a Bach`s choice. They are going to fight against Coe`s election. And the start of this campaign took place when InsideTheGames (now russian-backed) ans SE (affiliated with Alina Kabaev ) shared story about Coe`s problems with nomination. As for me - Coe is a right choice.

I think that Coe is the best of possible candidarures. Top-3 favourites right now are Seb Coe, Samaranch Jr. and Kirsty Coventry. Seb Coe and Samaranch Jr. are expected to be ruled out by the IOC ethic committee (Jr. - is too old). Thus Coventry may have a freeride. And it looks like her candidature was a Plan-B from Bach. And ideal combination to show geogrphic diversity and gender equality. And to keep real power in Bach`s hands.

According to our media the IOC ethic committee sent a letter to 111 IOC members to clarify who is eligible to run for the office of the head of the IOC. And it looks like Sebastian Coe may be not allowed to run for the head of the IOC office since he is a member of the IOC as a head of the World Athletics and his term will be finished in 2027.

I would suggest checking youku.com for some more Olympic videos

russians are going to the court to get that medal back

That is real ROFL ))))) Russia has a "Friendship cup" in Perm these days. They announced 4 team: 3 national teams - russia, Venezuela, Colombia and "Parma" (local basketball club). Propaganda described it as an international tournament to show that russian sport is not totally blocked. Kirilenko was happy to see national teeams from South America. And... "Parma" won the first quarter against Colombia - 41:2 Total score - 155:53. And... Colombian basketball federation stated that they did not send national team there ))) Furthermore - they even did not receive invitation )))) P.S. It looks like none of that players played for Colombia ever )) https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1009761744137084&set=a.609250904188172

Umar Kremliov (IBA) stated that he may run for the head of the IOC...

I would like this final: After the final word of his speech Bach secretly placed his ring on his finger and disappeared

Yes some Uzbek medalists are russians too.

And finally Our xM for Day 16 (realistic/optimistic). Day 16: 0xM / 0xM But what a battle for the top of the medal table! That high jump silder may cost too much for the USA.

According to the official website of the Games Mchedlidze nas a surname from Scotland

What a chance for gold for us. Yesterday`s score in the second routine would be enough

Our xM for Day 15 (realistic/optimistic). Day 15: 2,5xM / 3,5xM

And 6 medals for Italy But I would count only 1 medal for Ukraine right now. Weight control is tomorrow

3 medals is a realistic scenario but none of these medals is guaranteed. How many medals do you expect for Italy until the end of the Games?

Our xM for Day 14 (realistic/optimistic). Day 14: 1,5xM / 2,5xM

And Konotop missed a medal ( Giving her entry she could get bronze or even silver. She was brave enough to fight having injury, but...

Looks like not our day

Our xM for Day 13 (realistic/optimistic). Day 13: 2,5xM / 3,5xM The time is running

And a good day for making 2 gold medal finals - but one for Hope both Novikov and Beleniuk will win their big and small fimals tomorrow!

Congratulations to Poland ! What a podium it will be!

Novikov starts today. I want a final Novikov - Beleniuk. It would be a big story but I do not think Zhan has a form to reach final.
