'We' might actually have a chance

Roman Maikin solving the problem like a boss at the end

So at the moment, it looks like they'll compete after all?

Athletics, BMX, road cycling, weightlifting and I think swimming, although swimming championships don't get me too excited because there's too many athletes who you see everywhere

Wilson did look incredibly strong last time in Monaco, Wambui has not been very convincing this year (although I don't know where her terrible performance in Monaco came from), doesn't seem very unrealistic. It wouldn't be the first time American hurdlers fail at the decisive moment by the way, so who knows. Spanovic winning is obviously possible (although I'd say the Americans are the favourite, but Spanovic taking gold is very far from impossible). In theory Ahye could beat Ta Lou, but yeah, I'd definitely say Ta Lou has the advantage there.

The Atstat prediction contest is online again http://www.atstat.org/contest/default.asp

This sucks. So many top athletes injured in the last couple of weeks..

Thanks, for a moment I was afraid they were deleted. A technical problem is better than someone choosing to delete normal posts though

What the hell, several posts are missing here about the Tour of Poland

Did Totallympics have some sort of crash in the past hour? There are several posts missing in the road cycling discussion thread (I'm not sure about other threads, but I am 100% sure about that one, posts about the Tour of Poland).

Well damn it, that's the last of the individual WR's Dutch swimmers held

Nice weather in the Tour of Poland Monfort, Van Garderen, Tolhoek and Moser in the attack. In other words: eternal 15th-20th place in GT's, one of the most overrated GC riders ever, random Dutch guy and a huge talent who pretty much completely imploded after his 1-2 good years.

Barguil is leaving Sunweb at the end of the year and going to....Fortuneo I didn't expect him to move to such a small team, although it's a smart move from Fortuneo: they're basically assured of a TdF wildcard again now.

It sucks so hard internal struggles with the federation screwed over the relay so they didn't qualify....a team with these athletes could pose quite a medal threat

Welcome back And your UI is still the same (I think most people didn't change their UI, it's just for people who don't have one there is now a different default)

I might vote for the pope, this one seems like a pretty decent guy for a pope You know, relatively speaking and all.

Oh wait, thinking again, I knew he's the Greece guy although with almost all of these people I have no idea what their political orientation is

Apparently it's not Kerst but Kersti, too bad. Maybe Sturgeon because she wants Scotland to say goodbye to the UK or Erdogan because he's so ridiculous it's almost comedy if it weren't so sad. The rest seems rather boring

I think my knowledge is not so good...everyone with a blue mark is a leader I never heard of or at least don't remember I think I'll vote for Kerst Karljulaid, whoever the man/woman may be, because his name is Kerst and that's Dutch for Christmas

I knew years and years of intensely following the Saudi, Pakistani, Vietnamese and Sri Lankan volleyball teams would pay off one day

NEW USER ALERT Welcome @Belle

Well crap. And it's too late to get in a replacement, so no second chance for Alfred Kipketer
