Noah Lyles USA 2. Letsile Tebogo BOT 3. Zharnel Hughes GBR Lyles close to Bolt WR. Hughes wins bronze by 0,01 sec. Erriyon Knighton USA 4th. 221. ATHLETICS - W 400m Hurdles 1. Femke Bol NED 2. Rushell Clayton JAM 3. Shamier Little USA When Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone says she will run 400m flat in Paris, Bol is an overwhelming favourite and she wins this one very easily, her 2nd gold in Paris after mixed relay. 222. ATHLETICS - M 110m Hurdles 1. Grant Holloway USA 2. Hansle Parchment JAM 3. Shunsuke Izumiya JPN Holloway well under 12.90. Izumiya with massive Japanese NR. 223. BOXING - W 54kg 1. Chang Yuan CHN 2.

China Germany well ahead. Romania 4th. 226. CANOE SPRINT - M K4 500m 1. Germany 2. Hungary 3. Australia Germany wins but this race is a bit disappointing. Everything is so quick. Almost everybody say they miss K4 1000m event. A group of Czech and Slovak fans with a big sign: "Bring back 1000!". 227. CANOE SPRINT - W C2 500m 1. China 2. Canada 3. Spain China wins this one. Now every gold is crucial in this CHN vs USA overall medal table rivalry. 228. CANOE SPRINT - W K4 500m 1. New Zealand 2. Poland 3. China Lisa Carrington wins her 6th olympic gold medal. Medal #9 for Poland in Paris. And we have also a men's volleyball team in medal so we are in the double digits! 229. DIVING - M 3m Springboard 1. Wang Zongyuan CHN 2. Osmar Olvera MEX 3. Andrew Capobianco USA Second Chinese surprisingly out in the semis, after some massive errors. Can it happen in the real world? 230. HOCKEY - M Tournament 1. Germany 2. Netherlands 3.

Jalgasbay Berdimuratov UZB Losonczi wins over Istvan Takacs in an internal Hungarian battle which is quite controversial. But then he quiets the opponents winning gold in Paris. Only 3rd gold for Hungary so far, maybe I should check my predictions for Hungarian favourites once again. 243. WRESTLING FREESTYLE - W 53kg 1. Akari Fujinami JPN 2. Lucia Yepez ECU 3. Emma Malmgren SWE 3. Antim Panghal IND

Why are the weight categories different in M freestyle and greco? I don’t get it.

OK, time to say it loudly. I see Spurs in play-offs. Or play-offs via play-in, to be precise. I see Bucks vs Celtics on East Coast and Nuggets vs Suns on West Coast - like @Ogreman but then.... I just don't know. I would like to see Bucks vs Nuggets finals, and let the best team win. Dark Horse: Mavs on West, Knicks/Heat on East.

Who was the last center "kryptonite" before Jokic in your opinion? Can't think of any at the moment. Hard to say imo.

This is huge! Thanks. I like some of those one-liners. Respect.

Jokic triple double after being drunk all summer. Respect. Is this game that easy? Really???

Right now watching UEFA Champions League. Not much is going on in sports this week from my perspective

I forgot to mention F1 in MEX and Barca-Real

Have you ever been in Tanzania ?

We don’t believe you here

Or No. No Zanzi. Rather China in Cape Town

And what about Chins in Tanzania? Zanzibar ?

And what about China in Sri Lanka?

Good point. I wonder if China will be smart enough here.

Ok but what about ???

Maybe a prediction contest, multi-sport, one or two Paris quali events a week???

If you use LiveTennis app, they have Road To Paris Live now there as well

I wonder how Spurs will play this season. Our Sochan is there as well

What are you watching next week? Rugby WC, Alpine in Soelden, NBA, PanAm swimming and athletics , what i forgot?

Gloriana Nahum. 🇧🇯 The Benin representative advanced to her first final in her fourth professional appearance. The 17-year-old dreams of taking part in the Olympic Games in the future and being a role model for other young tennis players in West Africa.

Thank you! This is very interesting! Waiting for next ones… greetings from PL!
