for guys Jan (John), Piotr (Peter), Michał (Michael), Krzysztof (Christopher), Tomasz (Tom), Jacek (Jack) for girls Anna, Maria, Katarzyna (Kate), Zofia, Małgorzata (Margaret), Agnieszka, Agata - i mean traditionally but as Rybak written probably as reaction to tradition now other names are more "popular / fancy"

well, are the play-offs more difficult to predict? Depends on how u look at it. In group stage not all teams play 100% (QAT), sometimes they have sure 1st place / progression so they play weaker (HUN with BLR) at the end of the group or they want to lose to play some weaker in their opinion team or they save fuel for next round (older teams like Poland in Rio). So maybe group stage is more difficult. And remember, before the start it`s harder to judge teams abilities, after 5 games it`s easier. Play-offs are more black-and-white, all play 100%, pure knowledge wins so multipliers in play-offs are questionable for me. I accept them but not totally agree that play-offs are more difficult to predict.

what kind of bonus do you have in mind? It would be possible to make 1 bonus match per day with some extra points for users who will predict the exact result - good for handball, basketball, water polo, rugby and ice hockey - high score team sports. In football it could be which player scores first (field hockey the same), in volleyball maybe how much points the best scorer will have. Final points (without hundreds) of winners in figure skating etc. But do we need it. Wouldn`t it turn more like to bet contests? For me the simpler the better

It was all or nothing tactics with Norway win ;), i decided to behave like an athlete - "only medals count, go for gold". I predicted final against myself. Congrats to Ady, Ufilov and Bestmen. I`ve lost bronze/silver with Qatar-Slovenia, Croatian penalty with Norway or/and 1st day if i made 1st predictions after the start of 1st matches

sure i new France will win but i was 4th (almost all the time) so decided to take a gamble with Norway win, this was a great contest, i`m very happy but who likes being 4th ;). Congrats (probably) to Romania, Algeria and Poland i hope

Handball contest, mrrrau The biggest problem for me is how to value.......Poland!!

i agree that situation is strange to say at least, sure i understand that private life is more important but not to have 1 minute in month to write anything? To at least write "i resign guys, look for someone else"? I`m dissapointed very much with such approach, not with not having time to finish olympic contests / make new ones but with total silence by months sometimes

every Dutchmen is doped all the time, they just have to eat a cake with coffee

i think we will know some results after 2024 Games sure it`s for fun and i`m treating it this way. Every 2 weeks i just have to check - oh, maybe they`re in (those results), there is no clear info - i won`t make it, i will make it till February, it`s just confusing a bit. I`m not expecting anything above 1 clear straight info after 4 months, i just like clear situations, clear communicates, nth more. I`m not angry, irritated or anything like this. I am a person who cares about FACTS, not explanations, reasons etc, i`m bit black and white, i know it, i don`t like it but this is how i am...

we all live in 18+ world, we didn`t create rules of this world, they just are. No one here is angry or whatever, but we are used to those rules of 18+ world at work, in families etc. We spent some time on it, sure it`s for fun but when someone undertakes some project i can expect that he`s able to finish it. Let`s not be too warm and sweet from the other side. And i don`t mean you LDOG by any means. And the fact that i like Wanderer very much doesn`t mean that i won`t expect his work be finished when he undertook it by himself. This is the +18 world rule, i also have to obey it in my private life, at work. We all "have to", Lennon`s Imagine is sadly...a lie This situation causes more harm than good to the forum and really 4 MONTHS is a hell of a time. Just as heywoodu written, we are just curious how it went, nth less nth more

what a nightmare, Pakistani this time...he killed Polish driver this is this reward for open arms? for helping "refugees", really nice, thx Luckily Poland is more cautious and quite safe (for now). Have you heard of some Pole / Swede killing some people in Arabic countries? Retoric question - they are even killing each other, all in the name of "god". The idea of "gods" is totally strange for me, world without them would be a much better place, i think so since i was a kid. Again one-sided slaughter, i won`t mention Turkey and Jordan, sincere congrats to arabic world, really

what is the sense of organising new contests when Olympic ones, the most important in some way...are lost

Ski Sports Alpine Skiing (2-3) - just guessing, we`re hopeless, Korea is far far away Cross Country Skiing (8-10) - probably 2 full teams lets say Ski Jumping (6-7) - probably full men`s team + 2 girls? Nordic Combined (3-4) - we even have a chance for a full team quota Freestyle Skiing (0-2) - hard to say today Snowboarding (1-2) - as above Biathlon (7-8) - full woman`s team +2-3 guys? Skating Sports Speed Skating (8-10) - we`re quite useful, this is realistic Short Track Speed Skating (2-3) - 2 girls + 1 guy Figure Skating (2-3) - ice dance + maybe 1 solo skater Sleigh Sports Luge (5) - lets say 1 pair, and 1+2 ind (we will see in which gender 1, in which 2) Skeleton (0-1) - maybe someone will qualify Bobsleigh (3-5) - 2 + maybe 4 Team Sports Curling (0) - no comments Ice Hockey (0) - no comments Total Optimistic Prediction - (63) Total Pessimistic Prediction - (43) Total Realistic Prediction - (53)

did they play on ice? , what was the score in the last period?

we are ex-mighty sadly, still great congrats ROMANIA!!
