Rowing, canoeing…

actually almost all the sports where there are no rankings according to times/results like swimming or athletics… team sports are not that necessary as well

Equestrian …

Or sailing… one can dream

Outside of combat sports: shooting archery or gymnastics would be nice as well!!!

These rankings are really great job! I wonder if anyone here finds time to do sth similar in sports like wrestling judo or taekwondo… would be awesome

Btw , I wonder if Andreeva sisters will change their flag as well like some other Russian athletes? We will see

Obviously I hope Iga wins this one . She has never won AO before so it’s about time . I would cherish this one much more than US open for sure because she has already won in NY

waiting for draws to be announced…

It is very interesting for me how Hubert Hurkacz plays and I am focused on some new young players like Mirra Andreeva or Arthur Fils…

I also hope Woźniacki and Kerber will play some good tennis even if they lose in the 1st rd

Anyone knows why Stephan Embacher is not there in Bischofshofen today? He was jumping really well in Innsbruck

It's not a bad , but more like a "huh, cool " kind of reaction, I was surprised. Always nice to learn a little about our fellow Totallympians  

Yes, I know it’s a „cool” reaction . Man, I know You for years, I wouldn’t think anything else. Have a good weekend!

Adelboden is defenitely one of my fav WC stages . Even in the fog! 

Why ???  
 

I thought I wrote it here before… I don’t know, maybe not…

anyway, we are very proud of our 2 daughters. They are both students now and they chose their university studies very wisely , totally their own ideas, not lawyers like us but we are very happy with their choices

i hope it will be a good year for them!

My younger daughter will be 20 years old next week, so yes, I’ve been having kids for quite a long time 😎

Doesn't iJustyna with Witch-er considered as Polish entry? Poland according to rumors has some problems with broadcaster, but you probably know better

I don’t know if it’s already decided 

My kids say this may be one of the candidates for a Polish entrance this year.

I wonder if RSA decline their hockey and/or water polo quotas this time again

This is awfully lot of quota for POL in W boxing (5). Well, I would love it if it works like that but I seriously doubt it. If they couldn't make it in the European Games at home, I don't see it coming in the world tournaments (I know that probably the best boxers will not be there as they are already qualified but still...). I say 2 quotas for POL, maybe 3 (that would be awesome). And i do hope you are right about Damian Durkacz and he will be through - would be nice to have at least one male boxer in Paris for a NOC which had so many olympic medals in boxing in the past.

This is a great work @Ogreman Thanks a lot for this one!

Many NOC stay more or less the same, but there are some quite big changes.

NGR and RSA can’t qualify both in W football because they are both in the same half of the bracket.

It will be one from:

GHA ZAM TUN MAR

and one from:

CMR NGR TAN RSA

i think it will be MAR and NGR

I would love to see TAN advance though but it will not happen 

Many people dead after explosions near Soleimani’s tomb in Iran. This Middle East thing doesn’t look good at all

As reported earlier, I’ll be going to Rio and Sao Paolo in mid-June. Also, it’s my last day in Bergen (and on my European trip), as I leave early afternoon tomorrow.

Rio!!! Lucky you… 

that’s our big plan - Rio in 3-4 years time! A bit worried about crime there though

Adrian Moryto is out of ECH due to injury. That’s the end of our very slim chances to do sth in this tournament I’m afraid 😐🤷‍♂️

And the whole season of my local football and athletics club (we have a small but nice stadium just 200m close to where we live)

Speed skating wch…

Us gymnastics trials…
