I mean, I would like to try to make a team work here. And the early thoughts for this project is: 1. It would be all in the doc file, easy to print. 2. One page for each event, day by day. EDITABLE FOR ANY USER WHO WANTS TO JOIN AND DO STH. 3. Q info and results predictions. 4. Links to interesting videos/websites - all in one page per event. I like all the things here on totallympics - quali criteria, qualified NOCs, olympics programme, schedule, etc. But to get all the info I want I must click on this website like +100 times. And I would like to have it all in one file. Easy to print, because I am oldschool and I like to have my files printed, good for my eyes, you know. And that's that.

This short video sums things up well.

Man of the match: Radek Stepanek. 😉

What to watch today? Apart from mainstream. I mean i may watch AO, handball WCH and FIS world cups.

5th set. Hubert got a momentum now. But I still think it is 50/50.

SNEAK PEAK Inspired by Topicmaster1010 and esube work here I'm thinking about sth like this little thing you can find in an attached file. Events, days... And it will be always editable, anyone can join, TEAM WORK, you know... 24.01.21 Paris 2024 simulation.docx

I've seen it coming (look up at my 4rd bracket). She's no fav against Garcia though, but who knows? I haven't seen Magda playing better...

Magda Linette!!! What a win. Night session at Rod Laver. My, oh my...

I think I will come back to this thread. I don't want to repeat @Topicmaster1010 excellent work or @esube excellent work or anyone's work here. But I have some ideas and maybe they will be here in this thread. Stay tuned.

My QFs bracket, all wrong m Khachanov - Hurkacz Tsitsipas - Auger-Aliassime Rublev - Djokovic Shelton - Paul w Świątek - Gauff Pegula - Azarenka S Zhang - Garcia Bencic - L Fruhvirtova

Magda Linette! WOW. So far so good.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1365645203610663/?ref=share this Facebook Paris group is getting better and better my recommendation, try it

What you think? If i choose some tickets in the 1st phase draw, then when the draw will be good for me - do I have to buy them all or can I skip some of them, I mean to buy all the tickets I got for one event and not to buy any tickets for other events? I mean, e.g. on one day I would prefer to go for athletics, but if i don't get these tickets in a lottery for that day i will be left with nothing. So i'd like to choose e.g. beach volleyball for the same day, just in case. But if i get athletics, i don't want to go to volleyball anymore.

Looks like no sleep on Sunday night CET for me… 😉👍

So the real results were: Day 4 Wrestling Greco-Roman Men's 48kg LA - 1. Vincenzo Maenza ITA 2. Markus Scherer FRG 3. Ikuzo Saito JPN FR - 1. Bratan Tzenov BUL 2. Csaba Vadasz HUN 3. Reinaldo Jimenez CUB Men's 62kg LA - 1. Kim Weon Kee KOR 2. Kent-Olle Johansson SWE 3. Hugo Dietsche SUI FR - 1. Kamadar Madzhidov URS 2. Zhivko Vangelov BUL 3. Guenter Reichelt GDR Men's 90kg LA - 1. Steve Fraser USA 2. Ilie Matei ROM 3. Frank Andersson SWE FR - 1. Igor Kanygin URS 2. Norbert Novenyi HUN 3. Jindrich Durcak TCH Now should be ok.

Or not. It was my mistake.

Wikipedia says they were competing in Greco never trust wiki then!

So far the things were relatively easy. But to finish Day 4 in LA in style we have to do one more sport. And here things get much more difficult. Time for first medals in combat sports. And it's WRESTLING GRECO-ROMAN. No more simple times / points comparison. 3 wrestling events on day 4 were: 34. Men's 48kg 35. Men's 62kg 36. Men's 90kg The medalists were: Men's 48kg LA - 1. Vincenzo Maenza ITA 2. Markus Scherer FRG 3. Ikuzo Saito JPN FR - 1. Kim Cher Huan PRK 2. Sergei Kornilayev URS 3. Jan Falandys POL Men's 62kg LA - 1. Kim Weon Kee KOR 2. Kent-Olle Johansson SWE 3. Hugo Dietsche SUI FR - 1. Simeon Shterev BUL 2. Avirmediin Enkhee MGL 3. Viktor Alexeev URS Men's 90kg LA - 1. Steve Fraser USA 2. Ilie Matei ROM 3. Frank Andersson SWE FR - 1. Sansar Oganisyan URS 2. Yordan Doynov BUL 3. Jan Górski POL So in our simulation gold and silver could be: 1. LA1 2. FR1 1. FR1 2. LA1 1. LA1 2. LA2 1. FR1 2. FR2 For the 3rd places there are much more different possibilities... I don't know much about wrestling, but I think Vincenzo Maenza gold is secure! All the other medals... well, I don't know. So @phelps i think there's a job for you here to be done ;-) And maybe @MHSN - if you'd like to help us, would appreciate this.

Day 4, Wednesday No swimming events on Day 4, sadly. But still things are very interesting. 28. Cycling Track - Men's Individual Pursuit 1. Gintautas Umaras URS 4.33.66 FR1 2. Bernd Dittert GDR 4.33.88 FR2 3. Steve Hegg USA 4.35.57 LA1 According to English Wikipedia: Eastern Bloc results in track cycling were better than Olympic results, but Friendship Games cyclists competed on an indoor wooden track, while the Olympic events took place on an outdoor concrete track. So it is hard to say for me if we can compare cycling track results so simply. Anyway, if we can and if we do - 4th would be Ryszard Dawidowicz POL 4.40.21 FR3 29. Gymnastics Artistic - Women's Team 1. Soviet Union 395.250 FR1 2. East Germany 392.500 FR2 3. Romania 392.200 LA1 Honestly I don't know if these results are reliable. As I said before, 2 different competitions, 2 different sets of judges... Czechoslovakia would be 4th (391.950 FR3) United States only got 391.200 as LA2 30. Modern Pentathlon - Men's Individual 1. Laszlo Fabian HUN 5670 FR1 2. Anatoli Starostin URS 5650 FR2 3. Milan Kadlec TCH 5497 FR3 If we simply compare the points - no medal for LA winner Daniele Masala, ITA in an individual event 31. Modern Pentathlon - Men's Team 1. Hungary 16371 FR1 2. Italy 16060 LA1 3. Czechoslovakia 15918 FR2 32. Shooting - Men's 50m Rifle Three Positions 1. Malcolm Cooper GBR 1173 LA1 2. Milan Bakes TCH 1169 FR1 3. Ireneusz Jagodziński POL 1166 FR2 First gold for Team GB in LA! And first medal for Poland!!! The problem is that according to an official Polish Olympic Committee 1984 commemorative book (Na olimpijskim szlaku) - (On the olympic trail) Ireneusz Jagodziński wasn't a member of Team Poland who was planned to go to LA Olympics. We have planned to send there 3 shooters only, all male: Zygmunt Bogdziewicz, Jerzy Greszkiewicz and Adam Kaczmarek. For the purpose of this thread, let's think he was there in LA and he gets first medal for Poland. But if he's not there - next athlete would be Alexander Mitrofanov URS 1164 FR3 33. Weightlifting - Men's 67.5 kg (Lightweight) 1. Yanko Rusev BUL 337.5 FR1 2. Aleksandar Varbanov BUL 335 FR2 3. Yao Jingyuan CHN 320 LA1 4th gold for BUL in 4th weightlifting event. 4th CHN gold lost in 4th weightlifting event... 4th place for Marek Seweryn POL 315 FR3 And that's all for the part 1 of Day 4 No gold for USA on Day 4 so far!!! Medal table after part 1 of Day 4 (33 events) 10-5-7---22 9-5-8---22 5-2-1---8 3-10-2---15 2-1-2---5 2-1-0---3 1-3-1---5 1-0-0---1 0-2-3---5 0-2-0---2 0-1-4---5 0-1-3---4 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1

that's what I thought. I think there's a big chance Ashford would have won against Goehr in LA in 100m race, when they would have been running together.
