stronger HON and PAN are tripartite and El Salvador isn`t....IOC

typicul Aga

Drabik was very close, pitty

Sandra Drabik has a chance for a quota

k-2 200 M - 1% chance, c-1 200 10% chance but Rosolski and k-2 1000m are amongst favorites with Spain and Hungary mainly

hmm, maybe, in that case it all would be clear

Gadzhiev has taken some portion of meldonium in october when it was legal...and he declared it. Concentration of meldonium in his blood confirms it from what i know. He is not suspended, he can start but.....his quota is taken from him and us...after last oqt...when we had 2 another oqt. This is a mess ans a bit unfair to him. And he would win with 1 hand with Bulgarian also without this small amount of meldonium. The whole thing is questionable and WADA made a terrible mess

holy shit...

well, this is a forum panel, we don`t have to agree here, we have different opinions, what`s wrong with it? I had "problems" with opinions of many users too but i really got bored with dragging for YEARS things from the past and judging me on sth from some YEARS ago ;). This forum is meant to exchange different opinions and i still think that if some person flees his country representing it earlier he has 100% right to flee, to save his life, to raise their social and financial level in some e.g. German clubs. But escaping from war in your mothercountry doesn`t logically effect the fact that this athlete should start for his new nation. This is not the act of any "livesaving", this is not necessary to have a good life in new country. Just this. Maybe every athlete who has 2-countries origin or citizenship should be allowed on his 20th birthday to decide which country he chooses. Still, reality is different and it changed my approach, there is no sense of fighting reality, if it`s so, let it be so, i don`t mind some foreign athletes in Polish colours if we didn`t "steal" them from let`s say Bulgaria. I just think that Qatar etc rather...harm themeselves more than help

MODERATED PART And as to this athlete, well, what is not forbidden is allowed, i don`t like approach like her`s, but it`s not her who is causing a problem, Turkey, Qatar and Aze are. U can do what u want with my response, it`s your free will and i don`t care about it

they are not exotic, at all ;p

are they small and exotic nation in sport? C`mon, maybe Austria, Portugal? Uruguay too? , nope . Plz don`t compare Israel to Andorra or Comoros

I`ll take US......Virgins (joking, i`ve made my picks)

Israel??

maybe Brzozowski will surprise, that would be sth!! Turkish wrestler at home will be probably too much for Bieńkowski

i was watching it live on website and it was a pleasure!! congrats also to India, Sweden and Norway, pitty for Lithuania, Mexico and Venezuela

i was just asking in fact having no idea, generally i didn`t like his reply

I really hope those Dutch players play in some strong Brazilian field hockey club for some 3-4 years at least . I`m happy to see for all of you that in fact....some Brazilian users aren`t so "saint" as it was presented to you

what? he was just "meritoric" in showing 1 example. Still Germany didn`t buy her like Turkey does or even Brazil in field hockey. If she changes countries like gloves...well....what Germans coud do, to forbid her to start when she was entitled to according to German law?? You went totally over the top and i think you should be careful with such quick and harsh judgements of other people basing on totallympics posts. This is so immature

so they aren`t naturalized -,they just had 50/50 choice, i thought that they went to Canada as kids or youth, so Germany is the only nation in which Polish athletes are sometimes "naturalized"

auch, 20 years ago 5 medals, 3 golds, 2016 - not even close to qualify 1 wrestler

don`t u see the difference? USA, Canada, Germany, Poland etc etc---we don`t BUY them. They live here for many years, have families, speak Polish language (or German), some were even born or went to new countries as kids. Some were just escaping from their countries. Some Curacao athletes have no choice, they have to become Dutch or Arubian etc etc. On the other hand, Turkey, Qatar, Azerbaijan, Bahrain and now UAE are really BUYING them, they often don`t live there, went there once or twice only, don`t know the language etc. If u don`t see the difference, what can i say

i rather meant Wozniak. Dabrowski only as she had some choice, has Polish name and "origin". Does Wozniak still play?

as to Poles starting for other nations i`m not sure now. Certainly we have 3 countries with a lot of Polish names, it`s Germany (1 judoka, maybe some rowers or canoers like in the past, maybe some football or handball players), Denmark (Wozniacki in tennis and Kasprzak in dressage), Canada (some tennis players)
