Bit surprising that IHF didn’t choose Romania as a wild card instead of Great Britain, but oh well. Good for them. 

Hosts Hungary wouldn't like such a strong team like Romania to participate in this event, it would be far more difficult to qualify then. I guess it could be a factor as well.

So it looks like Paris Olympics will start for me at 3 p.m. CET with first 30 mins of ARG vs MAR football match … but then I will probably switch to rugby

The other match at 3 p.m. will be ESP vs Asian team

Quali standings after 2 World Cup events

I think Sidorowicz has a really nice skiing technique. She looked really good today, she has the flow. She may be a sign of sth good in future for our biathlon team

Greetings from Nove Mesto, everyone! It stopped raining so much so men’s race would be better to watch here 😉

Give Baiba an extra cheer please

 

Sure! Consider it done! 😎😉

Great last km by Laegreid, stealing this gold from JTB

I will be there in Nove Mesto for pursuit races tomorrow , hope it will be very entertaining 😎

see you at Roland Garros, Iga!

if sb told me that Magda Fręch will get further than Iga, I would say… no way. But it’s W tennis after all…

now all eyes on Hurkacz. But let’s not underestimate anyone , even a French Wild Card

So they tweaked the schedule as to not have matches go late into the night huh  And in a true AO fashion we are seeing almost every day late finishers. Even more regularly than in previous years. 

Which is not that bad because I am able to watch sth live after work on a weekday 😉

Magda Fręch fighting hard vs Saville. Winner plays Osaka or Garcia here. But level of the game is rather low. Many unforced errors

Belinda Benčičová you ignorant !

And Саша Ззверев  

Correction: Dokic reached QF in AO 2009. Still a great result though.

so we met her in 2008 when she was well down in the rankings . She looked really happy that sb recognized her swh in Poland and she kept smiling when we told her we liked her Wimbledon matches a lot… really nice person, I wish her all the best

It probably depends on what that title means to a player/country…

 

 

Exactly 

It was mentioned here many times before but I think it is important indeed that Iga’s father is an Olympian, he competed in rowing in Seoul 1988 and he was really disappointed with his result , he didn’t make it to the Final A. So I guess Olympics are important in thus family
