also Ronaldo   have been injured in the final against france  world cup 1998
if your name is Ronaldo , do not play against france , one new prophecy here 
 

That is one of the best finishes of a championships race I can ever remember!

Sleep, most likely  

Kiplagauskas, Kiplagatkauskas or Kiplagatauskys for a male. Kiplagauskienė/Kiplagatkauskienė/Kiplagatienė if married, Kiplagauskytė/Kiplagatauskaitė/Kiplagatytė/Kiplagataitė if not married would be the logical options for a Lithuanian Kiplagat

We know that he didn't cheat intentionally, it was an honest mistake. Hopefully the odds will be in his favour in Rio, he deserved it.  

Who cares about weather, winning distance goes over 7m 

I have already reserved my vacation (15 working days) from Monday 1st August to Sunday 21st August   My boss wasn´t very happy with that, but well, what can he do ?  I conserved the whole year my vacation days, I went to work each day sometimes pissed and angry, sometimes annoyed and lazy, but I knew that it will pay off and I´ll be very happy in August so just less than 1 month to survive and let start the best possible holidays with my TV and PC

Very much deserved after hard years with losing his father, getting cancer and now qualifying for the Olympics  

I never bought it, most probably just a poor translation. cheating is a part of their culture, they will never be sorry of that.
 
Ramonov is one of the favorites at 65kg, but this is probably the most unpredictable weights in freestyle with so many favorites. if I had to pick someone it would be between Ramonov and Chamizo but both of them can be beaten by other wrestlers. also we have to wait to see if UWW allows Gadzhiev (POL) to compete or not, they took his quota because of using meldonium but didn't ban him !!!! his case is active in CAS now. he will be as good as Ramonov as Chamizo.
 
That will be a huge huge surprise if Sadulaev doesn't win the gold, he is just too good ! after him I give more chances to Boltukaev for the gold, he is a monster. Ramonov is probably their 3rd chance, I also give good chance to Gedeuv, he is damn good but the problem is he has to beat Burroughs , the second best freestyle wrestler in the world right now. they had a close match in Las Vegas but I expect Burroughs to be more prepared this time.

well this is not surprising for me ! actually I'm a bit surprised by his poor snatch, even though snatch is always tricky, sometimes you miss a weight you usually can lift easily. I think I said before that he will be the clear favorite for the gold in Rio. probably Iran's best chance in all sports. IWF already banned most of his serious opponents.
 
as far as I know our new coach prefers to keep them near the actual body weight, he did participate in Fajr Cup and Pan American Champs few weeks ago , so I guess he is somewhere near the competition weight.

Yes of course. in wrestling and taekwondo anybody from Iran is a medal treat.
 
History tells us to count on everybody in wrestling, sometimes when our bigger names fail, the others come and win medals, back in London , Komeil Ghasemi was a nobody who barely made the team in last days but he won bronze after losing to the gold medalist narrowly (by ball draw) but realistically our chance is very slim to win medal in some weights , 130kg Greco, 65kg freestyle.
 
in general we will have a better team in Greco-Roman, they are all experienced, all of them have won world/olympic medals before, 4 of them World/Olympic Champion but the thing is Greco-Roman is much more unpredictable, while in freestyle we know there are only 4-5 wrestlers to worry about in each weight. in Greco everybody can be dangerous.
 
even though we still have to wait for the coach to announce the team , but this is most probably our Greco team, this is interesting we exactly send the same 6 guys to London and they won 3 gold medals for us !
 
59: Hamid Sourian
66: Omid Norouzi
75: Saeid Abdevali
85: Habibollah Akhlaghi
98: Ghasem Rezaei
130: Bashir Babajanzadeh
 
only Sourian and Abdevali are officially selected. and I can say Akhlaghi as well, because his rival Nouri was TERRIBLE in international competitions. he beat Akhlaghi 3 times this year but he is only good against Akhlaghi apparently !! Norouzi has a rival in Zeidvand, who won Polish tourney recently beating the World Champion from South Korea. still I think coach Bana will pick Norouzi 90%. the same goes to Rezaei at 98, Mehdi Aliyari won the Polish tourney (even though nto in a convincing way),
the only serious question is in 130kg, Ghasemi-Monjazi won the quota but he lost to Babajanzadeh in Poland, but narrowly. it's really hard to pick any of them, even though I think this is our weakest weight, I believe Bana will pick BBJZ eventually but Ghasemi-Monjazi would be my pick, at least he can do crazy things sometimes.

Our greatest 400m runner - Slobodan Branković, was commenting the race and he didn't mention an injury either. He did say that his tactics was completely wrong whatsoever.  

Getting into scandals, fighting and arguing with our federation through the media instead of actually replying to messages that she got on her e-mail. Basically, she thought that her funding was cut off, because she got pregnant and instead of replying to old letters that she got on her e-mail, which explained that that was not the case at all, she took that to the media and there was this article that Lithuania doesn't care about her and that she's useless now that she got pregnant and of course being the children that our federation is, they made fun of her on their Facebook page publicly. After that, she got in an argument with her long time coach in Spain and I believe she even tried to train on her own for a moment. So I'm really wondering if she'll be jumping beyond 14 meters any time soon.

Oh come on! 
 
In my defense, this time I only asked about it and I clearly wrote "Not to give false hope". Not going to Tonga is something I'd probably survive, but since Austria is quite a major winter sports nation, I'm going to risk my life and go there anyway

Tuvalu didn't get it? So sad, looks like they will only have 2 sprinters in Rio...
 
Btw, looks like this is correct. apparently received this today.
 

Well. What can you expect from a danish team missing Schmeichel and the Laudrup brothers?

I absolutely don't understand your logic but nonetheless I'm hoping your prophecy comes true

If Iceland wins tomorrow I'll spend at least 40 hours in the rest of the year to try and learn Icelandic in their honour  

the prophecy says that iceland is the winner tomorrow , you see why:
Germany VS Iceland

so as a certain Gary Lineker said Football is a simple game, 22 men chase a ball and at the end Germany win
