Ok, time to watch some rugby... Politics back in 2 hours

Yes, we know, obviously. Here it will not be the same i think

Opening a bottle of Palinka now, Budapest in Warsaw they say...

Ok, time to vote! #electiondayPL I will watch rugby later so i will not follow this thread now. Have fun guys!!!

I wonder if they take it or refuse it like they did in some team sports before

@dcro i am very interested in your equestrian predictions, especially dressage because i don't follow it at all

Is there swimming LC 2023 4x100 medley and free relay rankings anywhere? Can't find it.

Only one can medal in sailing. One athlete per NOC in this event

Maybe some other Czech player - ok. Muchova, Krejcikova

Kvitova is not that good on clay imo

Oh i still think Medvedev won’t be there but we will see

GB is currently 3rd here

I think totally otherwise. Games so close, almost at the backyard. This is a huge advantage

What’s the mood in NZ ? @Wanderer i’ m not asking about election results 😎

I would love to see Nadal in top 4 but sadly i don’t believe it can happen. Too many injuries but i didn’t believe in Anita Włodarczyk a year before Tokyo so you know… all my predictions are obviously wrong

If not him who can be surprise semifinalist in m or w singles? What you think?

Zhang was in 3rd round at RG in 23 and he makes a revenge over Ruud in QF this time my Olympics are boring i favour WChsmpions and ranking leaders all the time so lets have a one tiny surprise 😉

@Josh zheng won’t get medal . Hell be 4th 😉 i think someone will make a surprise and come to top 4 in m singles imagine all the hype when China have a male tennis player in ATP top ten

I read Wallechinsky olympic books again and again and i am so sad that there were no new editions after 2012. If i were a young, aspiring journalists i would contact people who were responsible for those books and offered them my contribution to do the 2012-2022 olympics update... if you reach some agreement on this, it's a good way to start to make your name known. But i'm not a journalist

Let's move on, Ireland. Life goes on. I have a feeling you will beat Aussies in the semis in 2027 :-)
