Reminds me of the legendary 79-0 of the Japanese women against the Maldives last time

Might as well just call it European Games by then. Oh wait.

Torturing them to death seems a little extreme, but yeah, me and many Dutch sports fans hate it Anyway, during something like the Olympics there's never one broadcaster doing everything exactly how I want it, logically, so the Olympics is a matter of switching between Dutch, Belgian, British, German TV and Eurosport. Which also was the case now a few times, because the schedule was sometimes just too full, with for example swimming and athletics right after each other.

In the Netherlands Eurosport showed a lot, as they would have done anyway. The Dutch public broadcaster showed a bit less swimming and athletics than usual, as so often focussing more on talking about the sports than showing the sports ("We want to bring the stories. If a Cuban is fencing against a Hungarian, that is irrelevant for us." is a famous quote of the broadcaster boss before the Olympics). They showed some gymastics as they would do anyway (just not Epke Zonderland's final live on TV, since that was at the same time as when they have to show the Dutch football competition highlights, by law), cycling as they would do anyway and that's about it. Nothing special and in the end it was basically treated as separate European championships. Personally I'm not sure what I hope for the future of this. Normally there would be several European championships in June, July, August, September, and now they're all crammed in two weeks...

Africa's Team signed an African rider

And there we go, the goal was 7 medals, the result is 8 medals, even without Vetter and Visser

Finally a good result This kind of contest is so much better than those "predict the goal difference" things

4th, I've always said these European Championships should be considered as one big event and this medal table means a lot

Good goal for England against Mexico.

Haratyk and 4x400 were nowhere near the hammer throwers in terms of being the favourite

That's it for athletics, which European champs starts tomorrow?

And, I believe, Turkey

I didn't, I was picking something to drink And that is strange...I'm curious about this situation if something appears in Czech media.

Turmaicabaijan

'not here' as in, injured? Or he simply didn't show up and nobody knows where he is?

Injury for a CZE athlete?

disappeared

That makes as much sense as calling a team the Yugoslavian team or Austro-Hungarian team

I don't much like how the Dutch Eurosport commentator has now said like 5 times that, if there are no dropped batons, a medal is 'almost a certainty' for the Dutch team

They are taking their sweet time for that 4x100 final

DQ for Salpeter.

I doubt it. He might want to go to college (his words), but he won't be able to be a collegiate athlete if he accepts prize money, which is why he already refused like 50-60k in DL prize money so far. I mean, he might just call it quits now of course, but I don't think it's because of money (unless he changed his mind and doesn't want to go to college anymore).

Ah crap, 4x100 relays are incoming....

Just be the boss of all bosses and put that thing at 6.20

Jakubczyk doesn't like this.
