What a beautiful Winter in Levi!!! Awesome conditions

This is why I asked whether PNG had their rugby league professionals from the Australian NRL involved in this tournament.
If they are competing then they could be a threat even to Samoa.

Yes, when I'm on my Samsung it's different. Oh well, personally I wouldn't be a fan of it anyway, unless it's a little outside of the avatar, so not covering part of it.

Mens Quotas

@hckošice @phelps You were right guys! Hockey rulez 💪😎

Great, 3 in the semifinals in total but 0 quotas.  most probably nobody in Archery for the first time since 2004. this 2024 Olympics is just getting better and better.

what a...wait, no...better  until next Monday

Semi Finals
 
 Fiji -  Samoa
 Tonga -  Papua New Guinea

defeated  24-21, that places them on the path to finish first in the group.

Well well well, I probably underestimated PNG, maybe overestimated Tonga too, which would mean Samoa is probably head and shoulders above the rest. But we'll see.

Might be on brand for us but there’s no way we lose to Hungary 

It’s a true story that the modern, great flag of Orkney  was created by a postman using his grand-daughter’s colouring pencils.

1. and 2. I passed on those events, as this is one of the very few disciplines I don't follow even during the Olympic Games 
 
- Speedskating, men's Team Pursuit...here I'm totally biased.
sureley it wasn't the best ever performance by a team, on the other hand, it was maybe the best performance by an individual (Enrico Fabris) winning a team event (almost) all by himself  
so, my choice is very much a Home call,  Italy 2006
 
- Speedskating, women's Team Pursuit...here I'm going with the true spirit of these polls...the most impressive single performance by a team in this event, so I think I have to choose  Japan 2018, as their superiority was probably not to be equalled in quite a while
 
- Short Track Speedskating, men's 5000m Relay...it's another Home call, maybe...but in this case I'm more than convinced that it was also the best single performance of a team in this event, despite Canada have put on such a rock solid tradition and won more gold medals than anyone else
my choice is, once again,  Italy (1994...waiting for the 2026 replay of those great memories )
