@copravolley Any news on Tamberi? Did he leave hospital for Paris?

)))))))))))))))))))))) * Really - it is interesting that the flag of Ukraine is blue and yellow. But it is often described as light blue and yellow (as Kazakhstan's one). Even in Ukraine you can here "zhovto-blakytni" about our national teams (blakytny - is a special word to describe the color of sky - something like azure).

Blue and Yellow means really high jumps )) Mondo is fantastic!

I felt the same way yesterday

Wow, I have noticed that they invited russians as jury members. Andreev for men and Andrianova for women

Yes, there were predictions before the start of the Games. And these figurese represnt "must-have" and "possible" medals aonverted to somethong like goal chances in footbell.

Here is the interview. It is in Ukrainian - i think Deepl works for it better then Google Translate https://suspilne.media/sport/806175-mi-vsi-neu-nadihaemosa-nikola-olislagers-pro-peremogu-magucih-na-olimpiadi-ta-borotbu-z-ukrainkou-za-zoloto/

I would say we are not focused on the place in medal table ) Number of medals is more important these days. I think it is a surprise giving the strength of Polish team. And I think Poland will be ahead of us at the final.

Our xM for Day 10 (realistic/optimistic). Day 10: 1,58xM / 1,86xM The time is still now?

I would say Suspilne is doing fantastic job at these Games. They get rid of static studio at the capital of the Games and work only from the sport venies in Paris. Thay is the best way to show the Games.

I am so happy for Mahuchich but I am happy for Herashchenko at the same level. So many 4-th places for her. She was 4-th at the World Championship, she was 4-th at the Olympics. I wanted a medal for her - and she did it!!!

Our xM for Day 9 (realistic/optimistic). Day 9: 2,33xM / 4,83xM The time is now again?

And this will create some more quotas for athletes since the village will be used not so intensively

It is not a day of Romanchuk family (( Mykhailo got high temperature yesterday and withdraw from 1500 m in swimming And I am afraid Maryna could become ill today too ((((

Thank you! We did it! What had happen to Puzstai today in 1/4 - injury?

Herojam slava! I was afraid that we would not win gold at these Games )) Now we have it and it is a miracle!

Our xM for Day 8 (realistic/optimistic). Day 8: 2,29xM / 3,43xM The time is now?

I would say Jurka`s performance in team event is the highlight of the tounament Congratulations to @Jan Linha. The first medal? But what a medal!

Our xM for Day 7 (realistic/optimistic). Day 7: 0,33xM / 0,33xM * who could oredict Bukhov`s illness...

And Lytvynenko is out in rep. without losing a single point at the whole tournament like Bilodid. No questions - Ma was a bit more active. But these decisive passivity point makes judo close to that infamous 1:1 matches in Greco-Roman

Thank you. Very important medal for us. We have hot so many good shooters now and India had an incredibly strong whole team. In Tokyo Kulish came close to the medal but.. the button came undone during the shot.

Predicted number still can be achieved. But it was lower than in Tokyo from the beginning - 17 vs 19. Of course even these 17 medals are very optimistic during the war. Especially for athletes who had training in Ukraine this summer. Electricty was absent 4-7 hours in a row. Then - 2 hours of electricity and some new 4-7 hours without light. The temperatures were extremely high - 38 - 40 degrees in the shadow. And no air conditioner could be used without electricity. Plus air-raid alarms could last hours thrughout the night. Thus it was not easy to get full dose of sleeping and recover. Thus every medal is a miracle.

That is the calculation made before the Games. This is not cummulative result but only prediction for the next day like xG

Lesson from the Games - look at the weather forecast before sending athletes to the Opening Ceremony where they do not have place to hide from the rain. We were realy suprised by the bad performances from swimmers. But it turned out that all the team is ill ((( Zheltyakov (several seconds slower than at Euro a month ago) said "the biggest mistake - is their illness.

Our xM for Day 6 (realistic/optimistic). Day 6: 0,29xM / 0,43xM
