Oh, so i had a good shot by luck. Yes, i even wanted to write that if u ask me if i'm 100% sure that there will be Poland in 2028 for the first time in my life it's not 100%...

Oh...i think it can be a hmmm....dynamic period to say the least. And i don't have climate issues on my mind in pole position. For the first time in my life i'm unable to imagine 2028. AI too.

But in this stupid world of only positivity (we know it's not like that) let's give a thought to Mem, Marin, injured German heptathlon athlete, American gymnast without a bronze, 13th French volleyball player. They are also heroes here, many other too, in a way they are beautiful. In a way they are positive heroes (ok, Mem less than others😉😉).

Hmmm....good point. Milak looked and behaved like he is there and went there finally but like hmmm...that he is there for himself but not exactly for this...version of Hungary. Am i right? We all know it here.

Wg mnie piękne igrzyska. Gdybyśmy nie tylko nie szkodzili sobie sami, ale wręcz w paru związkach dbali o narodowy w interes mogło być pięknie. Nie było, ciężko będzie imo teraz dogonić świat. Nie nasza prędkość, tu jest ważne tylko by Julia dała w jaja Tajwance a Piesiewicz wziął laskę na IO. Ogromny zawód dla mnie to Majewski, stchórzył. Zabrakło ciut roli Legienia imo, tak dla zasady. Dla Piesiewicza to była tylko próba zostania Prezydentem. Poległ już na zdjęciu z Kuś. Zapaść duża. Z Rosją i Białorusią byłoby lanie, że hej. Wielkie brawa, że polscy sportowcy próbują w tych warunkach walczyć. Dużo klątw złamanych, wreszcie odwrócone dramaty i końcówki jak z Chinkami w szpadzie. Zaczyna się opłacać inwestycja w psychologów. Najbardziej żal Anity, 4 cm...co to by było za zakończenie kariery. Ale ogólnie widać, że nasi sportowcy są sfrustrowani...co to musi oznaczać..chyba jasne. Tak źle chyba nigdy nie było, ale żyjemy w epoce wojny polsko-polskiej. Ja mam mocno dość obecnych polskich klimatów, nie ukrywam. Delikatnie mówiąc. Oby skoczkowie coś ugrali na koniec. Trzymajcie się i odpoczynku 🙂👍

Yep, it was a perfect mixture of wonderful atmosphere and great organisation (lacking a bit in Rio, Barcelona etc.). French nation is unique in a way and they just succeded to proudly...show it. Period.

So...the best moment..was the whole olympic time in Paris. Epic games, best ever. We had covid, wars, 3 olympics in 3 years, what a time. Paris...it was enormous. Just few technical problems, maybe just too much weight put on LGBT matters during OC (having in mind what they could show having their culture etc). But c'mon. Love You 2024 SOG. Sure, as a Pole i was following fates of our athletes mainly and it was a kind of sad experience (atmo, comments, many details you won't know) though i feel i wasn't able to enjoy those epic games in our time&cultural zone as deserved. But it's many supporters fate....It was a pleasure Paris😍😍😍😍

Epic ending to epic SOG

China rooting for France 😉

2026 100%. LA? Probably not. I will observe how it all goes in Poland. If as its now (i assume so) for the first time white flag from me. I will be 51, not sleeping over 2 weeks to see some 6 medals and 106 tragedies...nope. We will see. In LA US, Canada, China and probably Russia will be at full power. 2 medals in climbing again? Without it and with RUS+BLR here we already could count only for some 5-6 medals.

Rinner story has to be high in this ranking. For me probably nr 1. As a Pole nr 2 probably Polish epee W team bronze. Nr 3 win with USA in volleyball semi. Nr 4 great atmosphere between athletes like on podium with Andrade.

Yeah, i know. But national fed is for me a part of national funds, budget. Hey, it is only one cycling track. What would happen in this country if we had 3 or bobsleigh track😉. How on earth Poland is unable to maintain one....cycling track. The state has to act. Don't ask me for answers 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I get your point. I think i clearly mentioned that we all know Chinese sins, problems etc. But it is not a reason to wipe out their great history or to idealize USA. And i clearly mentioned that Chinese team makes better impression here. If we look at martial arts conclusion can be different. I just mentioned that first time i have seen some promising signs. Only this.

Polish cycling fed has 5mln euro debts 🙂

She paid for everything herself, got a suit day before her start, not fitting. Our fed is a joke....and she did it 🙂🙂🙂🥃🥃🥃🥃

No money, no bikes, nothing....and medal 🙂🙂🙂!!!!

OMG yeeeesss

Slovenia without any idea after this time out. Both them and Egypt wasted their chances.

Slovenian was i think beyond the line in attack before time out but they have still have a chance 😉

Yes, i know this status. St. Martin, Sint Marten etc. I rather wonder if IOC could open the 2nd window to federations not being indenpendent countries once again. Such entities could have chosen to compete, maybe now some other would also have that chance. Curacao too. Let's say those which have 5 active disciplines (federations).

Two different approaches maybe. Not better / worse. And maybe we underestimate them, i don't know. Here they look reallly well, sometimes more emotional than Americans. I just mean that for the first time i am not biased. Why not China.

For me this will mean the end of olympics. BTW, is there aby chance to let Guadeloupe, Martinique, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Curacao etc have their chance to compete on equal basis as Bermuda etc?

Not exactly. We think of China that way because...we know why. But looking at it wider....it is one of the oldest civilazations (yes, sportive too) and USA has many sins like atomic bomb or native people😉😉. Also with hiding their doping. No, it's not that simple as media are saying 😉😉. I just think we should look at it wider. Not be so biased.

As to this China - USA rivalry..from obvious reasons i always rooted for USA. But now i have to admit Chinese athletes and staff look very positive, relaxed, like there is some small change. Nice. Wish them well.

Without just added climbing we would end with 7 medals (no gold) without Belarus and Russia. This is unspeakable. But this is sadly our true level in everything now.
