I know i am repeating other people’s work here but in this thread you will eventually have all the info in just two posts. no need to click on many subpages, this is the way i like it

Cyprus had only one silver olympic medal - London 2012 - Pavlos Kontides - Sailing - M Laser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_at_the_Olympics In Tokyo 2020 they had 15 athletes, Pavlos Kontides finished 4th in M Laser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics @Topicmaster1010 simulation: Cyprus: 15 (0) (Athletics - 5, Road Cycling - 1, Artistic Gymnastics - 3, Rowing - 1, Sailing - 2, Shooting - 1, Swimming - 2) No CYP athletes qualified for Paris 2024 yet CYP had 2 gold medals at 2022 Commonwealth Games: Judo and Gymnastics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_at_the_2022_Commonwealth_Games their last WCH medals in olympic events can be seen here https://totallympics.com/qualification-tracker/paris-2024/qualification-by-nation/cyprus/cyprus-world-championships-medal-count-r1916/ who got their single 2022 WCH medal??? Yes, you guessed it correctly, Pavlos Kontides. Here is his cv: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlos_Kontides tbc...

As not much is going on about Tanzania I think I will be involved in another NOC in this thread as well. And it is CYPRUS

@Topicmaster1010 simulation: Tanzania*: 7 (+4) (Athletics - 4, Judo - 1, Swimming - 2) Tanzania has two swimming universality quotas, 3 quotas in men's marathon, 1 quota in the women's marathon and a judo universality quota in the men's -66kg.

Updated after Event #11 - Bobsleigh - Two-Woman

Do we know whether alpine combined M and W events are confirmed for 2026 Olympics???

There will be plenty of action on Day 6 Athletics - M 20km Walk Athletics - W Shot Put Cycling Track - M Sprint Cycling Track - M Team Pursuit Cycling Track - M Points Race Equestrian - Individual Eventing Equestrian - Team Eventing Fencing - W Individual Foil Gymnastics Artistic - W Individual All-Around Shooting - M 10m Air Rifle Shooting - W 50m Rifle Three Positions Swimming - M 100m Backstroke Swimming - M 200m Butterfly Swimming - W 800m Freestyle Swimming - W 200m Individual Medley Swimming - W 4x100m Medley Relay Wrestling Greco-Roman - M 57kg Wrestling Greco-Roman - M 68kg Wrestling Greco-Roman - M 82kg Wrestling Greco-Roman - M 100kg

So after Day 5 USSR in leading medal table and they have 10 (!!!) more medals in total than hosts USA. I wonder of this could really happen on US soil and how much exciment would it make both in US and USSR back in '84. BUL is having extraordinary olympics, 7 golds in 5 days. Still no gold for China. Sweden, Finland, Japan and Cuba among new countries who get their first medals on day 5. Poland with 2 medals only, both in shooting, but another 2 medals in wrestling were very close on day 5. No gold for Poland yet. Romania (who had super olympics in LA) so far with 2 bronze medals only.

Medal table after Day 5 (48 events) 15-10-11---36 13-5-8---26 7-5-1---13 4-12-5---21 2-3-1---6 2-2-3---7 2-2-1---5 2-1-1---4 1-0-0---1 0-2-4---6 0-2-3---5 0-1-4---5 0-1-1---2 0-1-0---1 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1

The last event of day 5 Weightlifting - Men's 75 kg (Middlewewight) 1. Zdravko Stoichkov BUL 377.5 kg FR1 2. Vladimir Kuznetsov URS 362.5 kg FR2 and there is a problem with bronze medal because we have a tie: Istvan Messzi HUN 340 kg FR3 Karl-Heinz Radschinsky FRG 340 kg LA1 Radschinsky body-weight in LA was 74.30 kg can't find Messzi body-weight in FR, but in Seoul 1988 he got silver in 82.5 kg category No good solution here, but I think in ties like here we can be in favour of the real LA olympic champion So: 1. BUL 2. URS 3. FRG here

Medal table after Day 5, part 2 (47 events) 15-9-11---35 13-5-8---26 6-5-1---12 4-12-5---21 2-3-1---6 2-2-2---6 2-2-1---5 2-1-1---4 1-0-0---1 0-2-4---6 0-2-3---5 0-1-4---5 0-1-1---2 0-1-0---1 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1

Day 5 continued. Wrestling Greco-Roman - Men's 52kg 1. Benur Pashayan URS FR1 2. Velin Dogandiysky BUL FR2 3. Atsuji Miyahira JPN LA1 Wrestling Greco-Roman - Men's 74 kg 1. Mikhail Mamiashvili URS FR1 2. Jouko Salomaki FIN LA1 3. Roger Tallroth SWE LA2 Wresling Greco-Roman - Men's +100kg 1. Nikola Dinev BUL FR1 2. Candido Mesa CUB FR2 3. Evgeni Artyukhin URS FR3 I listened to phelps here. The only change is that in this simulation I assumpt that sb who was 2nd in LA can't beat LA champion (and sb who was 2nd in FR can't be FR Champ_ That's why there is silver for FIN and bronze for SWE in 74kg cat. No medals for POL in wrestling today, although Roman Kierpacz was 3rd and Andrzej Supron was 2nd in FR, 52 and 74kg respectively.

@phelps and how’s Sophia Goggia feeling today? Any News on her?

Minnesota?

How’s the weather in Courchevel/Meribel this weekend???

Where are you then???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia Yes, ofc I know NATO 1999 bombing wasn't related to Bosnia war at all in time. But in my opinion, it may have prevented another Sarajevo / Srebrenica situation in Kosovo back then. That is why I mentioned Srebrenica & Sarejevo here. Ofc you are right that other sides in those wars commited crimes as well. And that thankfully I haven't experienced war myself, only martial law back in 1981 and after. I hope you will never experience war again and wish you all the best. The only thing - regarding to all of this ban staff - is that we must never forget that it was Slovenia, Bosnia and Croatia who invaded Serbia back in the 90s, it was Kosovo who invaded Serbia after that and it was Ukraine who invaded Russia in 2022, all of them to gain their people and their territory. Apart from that, I 100% agree that this is sports website so I will try to avoid political stuff in the future. I will do that if you stop insult some of us with words like "they all think that their opinion is only relevant and that they represent the entire world."

Exactly, combat sports and shooting… how wonderful

And tbh, i really don’t care about Paris 24 that much what i care is how to stop this war and if not allowing BLRUS to perform in Paris may help to stop the war somehow i am for it 100% but i don’t know how not-allowing could help to stop it ofc THE PROBLEM IS i am sure that allowing them to participate will not help to stop the war at all, as things stand today
