Or "Hallelujah"

I guess Hungary was somewhat acceptable, although it's a shame he came on stage with broken jeans and his shirt half in his pants and half out of it

Ah, I thought it was "top-8" OR "sub-3:45"

Didn't Matteo Giupponi finish 8th?

Top-8 was only for the 20k? Well anyway I'd still hate him if I was one of the other Italians, because then finally you win an actual gold medal and what happens? 99% of the race walking community looks at your gold medal with hate because of Schwazer.

Azerbaijan's video clip, wtf The playback we had to do at school when we were like 10 was better

Time for the first evening of extremely cheesy songs with horrible pronunciation going through to the finals To save the embarassment in the final it'd be better if our guy just goes home after tonight....why did they send him? Meanwhile on TV here they're almost dying of laughing because of the Bosnian guy's polished head and San Marino's pirate

Some small percentages in the women's race walking and men's marathon, a bit bigger percentages in the men's pole vault and a bigger percentage in women's pole vault...all in all I think Brazil should normally at least win one medal

It's Africa, don't trust the documents and never give up hope someone suddenly magically appears for some lifts

I think the chance of Brazil winning exactly 1 athletics medal in Rio and this coming from race walking is like 0,01%

No, you forget the part where he asked his girlfriend Carolina Kostner to lie in order to not get tested while "hot" resulting in her receiving a ban as well. Such a gentleman, this Alex But indeed, when even his team "mates" hate him from the bottom of their hearts, it's clear enough. Even more so, one of them will actually miss the Olympics because his ticket is stolen by a proven and self-confessed EPO-cheat. It's a miracle he didn't attack Schwazer.

I've written them down in this order, so SKN and GAB are still available if someone else wants them as first choice. Is that acceptable or do you prefer SKN or GAB as your 1st choice?

It was Pavlo's 3rd choice, so yes, it's all yours now

Personally I'm not a fan of countries like Israel in this thread, and obviously I have nothing against Israel personally. A country like Iran is exotic for us Dutch people (as we never hear anything about them or their athletes), but we decided not to allow them on the Dutch forum since they're of course not an exotic sports nation. Of course if he wants to keep us updated about Israel and post all kinds of interesting news from Israeli media that's hard to find anywhere else, I won't ask Sindo to delete those posts and I'll read them with interest

You support them Anything you want really, you can follow their Olympic qualifying, post any news you find or come across , maybe take a look at local media even On a Dutch forum where this idea comes from, someone is contacting the Swaziland Olympic Committee for example (unfortunately they're not responding yet), but those are all kinds of things you can do And during the Olympics of course you'll keep us posted on the awesome results of the Micronesian heroes

I don't think that really goes as a an exotic nation in sports, but I'm open for discussion

Swimrankings.net is perfect if you want results of European swimmers https://www.swimrankings.net/index.php?&language=de When were these German nationals and where can I find the results? Apparently Swimrankings isn't 100% perfect because for Gose I don't see any sub-58 100m yet

No 4x100 free women, cause "they're too skinny", according to the coach.

Northern Ireland, Iceland etc....where is ours? Oh wait

Let's just be smart and agree with this then On to more athletics

I'm guessing he'll go for a 10th place finish or something Smart from Kimetto and Kipsang to pull out, it's not like they'd be realistic favourites anyway in my opinion.

It's especially a huge shame Jared Tallent gets robbed by a dirty cheat AGAIN. It happened in 2008, 2012, probably some more times I'm forgetting and now that asshole is back, it happens again... As the entire race walking community said yesterday: Schwazer's win meant a really, really black day for the sport. Yesterday was one of the worst days in history of race walking.

In which sports could Swaziland realistically have a chance of receiving a wild card in case they apply?

And there was the extremely weird fall of Marquez and Dovizioso, which was just funny to see Unfortunately after that it was such an incredibly boring race...well for the 1st place it was boring after 5 seconds Moto3 was ok, Moto2 was "meh"..
