rafalgorka

This week for me is mainly TENNIS - WTA Finals and ATP Paris-Bercy, F1 in Brazil and NBA, maybe some football (European Leagues - Barcelona, Liverpool...)

Next NOC: Austria

I predicted only one gold for them: Martin Dougoud in CANOE SLALOM - M Kayak Cross - but it's nothing close to certain, a new crazy event with very random results possible. Dougoud was 3rd in 2023 WCH though

best case scenario here 5-7-10---22 that would be awesome, just awesome

an idea for this thread is quite simple. A new post for each day. Any user can do it, whoever has time for it.

W Surfing updated. I don't know about canoe. Any other new quotas are there today? And what about tomorrow? Any new quotas?

BBC News reporter now talking live from Lebanon standing swh on the beach, great view of the seaside around him. How beautiful this land is. I wish one day they would find solutions to all these problems…

Double black coffee made. C’mon guys, hope this will be good one.

You knew it's gonna happen next ;-) No schedule yet though. Maybe some early draft swh???

Quote of the day from Polish TV commentators: NZ players sometimes put so much energy into haka that they have a lack of energy in the first 20mins of the match then...

Correction: there were 277 events already (I mentioned all the events but I doubled no. 218 2 days to go - will USA jump ahead of CHN in the end? Will POL win volleyball gold???

Off to F1 now…

Kolbe can stop praying

Sad for NZ but oh i love this sport
