Just bought tickets for POL vs LAT hockey game here in Poland on Nov 10th. this will be first time for me to watch hockey live @hckošice @phelps if it’s not that good as you both keep saying, i want my money back

And one last spam from me this CET morning. I would really like to come back to this project. This kind of schedule layout is extremely useful for me during olympic time. But 16 days is too much for me. Maybe if we could find 8 users here (2 days for one user) we could make a great updated version of it. We can update it once a month or sth. We can even make versions for particular NOCs. E.g. POL version with Polish athletes starts highlighted. ??? I can do days 1-2.

@Josh we are waiting for your predictions, if you have some spare time... @MagyarBabu and day 16 from you, i am very interested in your M water polo predictions...

Agree 100% I miss Manu Ginobili in the olympics so much... I know he's too old to make a come-back but still... M basketball tournament without ARG is not the same

Updates on day 2, i will come back to day 1 to fill the more difficult events... M and W Water Polo - i think if RSA withdraws, CAN gets in

Aqaba is epic.

My friends are asking me where we go next... cause when we were in Paris in June it was relatively calm there but when we came back the policeman shot a teenager and all hell breaks loose when we were in the Middle East in September it was "relatively calm" there (very relatively imo) and then when we came back... So pray we don't go to your place now, next vacation February 2024...

Anyone read it? Is it a good one? Path Lit by Lightning: The Life of Jim Thorpe (2022) by David Maraniss https://www.amazon.de/s?k=Path+Lit+by+Lightning%3A+The+Life+of+Jim+Thorpe+(2022)&__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1BT3VQEU0KTPA&sprefix=path+lit+by+lightning+the+life+of+jim+thorpe+2022+%2Caps%2C117&ref=nb_sb_noss

What a surprising results heh :-)

Fun fact (or non-fun fact, I don't know): There are 24 pages in this calendar, one for half a month. 24 summer olympics posters. So they had to skip some olympics (e.g. Barcelona 1992 unfortunately, i don't know why them, maybe some copyright reasons...) BUT they decided to leave Berlin 1936 poster here Brandenburg Gate and so on... Whose idea was that??? What? I don't get it. It reminds me of a nice piece from the best olympic book I have ever read: Rome 1960 by David Maraniss, when they found some fascist drawings on the wall behind the curtain in the hall... My oh my, do these Paris 2024 souvenirs guys really think I will have a 1936 Berlin poster on the wall at work or at home???

What's up in Budapest, anyone? Do they talk about Polish election results at all? Any thoughts on that? I remember 1956 Hungary Revolution began because of many reasons but one of them was HUN citizens felt solidarity with what happened in Poland few months ealier (Poznań 1956, anyone?). So i bought some popcorn and i am waiting what's gonna happen next...

I would also add Pia Skrzyszowska in Athletics - W 100m Hurdles. I would cherish her medal a lot, but this medal is not "rather unlikely", it's "extremely unlikely" I'm afraid. But if we have a thread for "an unlikely finalist you would cherish the most" - that's definitely her. If she is in the final, that would be as much fun for me as Ewa Swoboda in 100m final in Budapest.

Yes, Sofia Ennaoui in W 1500m, how could I forget her??? And M beach volleyball - well, they got bronze this year so I wouldn't call their medal in Paris that "unlikely", although they are not very big favourites ofc. In my predictons i said they lose in QF but anything can happen and we can have 2 volleyball medals in Paris: both indoor and beach...

And how's the weather in Cancun? Some Polish media say today's singles matches are uncertain

Good luck for ARG in 2024 WCH in this event!

No, it looks like he didn't. There were 2 quotas for North America and Caribbean - PUR, ARU and 2 quotas for Central and South America - CHI, GUA

I would also add a medal for Michał Kwiatkowski in Road Cycling - M Road Race and a qualification for M handball team

From the top of my head: Qualification: M basketball, W handball Medal: Norbert Kobielski (Athletics, M High Jump) - any medal, first HJ medal since 1996, Artur Partyka W K4 500m (Canoe Sprint) - gold, first ever for POL canoeing

I think CAN will qualify as well, maybe RSA withdraws and their chances will be higher

What was the result? Was it a close match?

We do it every day this way here when we hear the news about new quotas and that's perfectly fine. But I'd like to have a calendar (for example next 7 days) with all the quota events mentioned on certain days.

Yes, I know this page, but it's not day-by-day. I would like to do sth like this: Sun 05/11/2023 Event Nr 1... Event Nr 2... Mon 06/11/2023 Event Nr 1... Event Nr 2... and so on...

What quotas are on offer on Sunday? And then next week???

Surely you know better about cross-country skiing than me so correct me if i am wrong here, but i have a feeling FIS Cross-Country World Cup becomes least and least valuable - to some degree - as well. This season may be a bit different because there are no WCH and Tour de Ski will be more important, But normally i enjoy watching Ruka opening weekend World Cup very much because almost everybody's there and then... many people skip every other stage. Very disappointing.
