Pavlo

yes, but tactically it`s sometimes looks better when she`s out. Tough call for coach, when she plays tactics are more obvious, easier to read but i would take her as a "reserve player" if i`d be a coach

We are hoping for 1 woman at least, 2 would be great! If we get 1 more quota in male FW.....that will be over the top . If we don`t get any GR quota (which is realistic) that would be a fail like in boxing, men`s shooting and fencing, gymnastics too as well as MTB - almost zero quotas all together

so maybe we should ask Kwiatkowski and Majka to make some points for our MTB male "specialists"

terrible draw, crucial match in OG is 1/4 and it will be so tough

we blew this match, too much pressure at the begining, sometimes it happens

Italy played some desperate hockey, but sometimes it`s enough

Italy in the elite , they were worse than Austria, Poland and Korea, life is cruel

Grazie Italia!! Go Austria!!!

Julia Michalska put on hold her carreer for too long and is to weak to qualify for Rio in rowing while Zofia Noceti-Klepacka and Przemysław Miarczyński both have lost internal qualifications and are out too. Bartłomiej Bonk is in danger in weightlifting although he has over 50% chance to make the team

Oh Rybak..... Janikowski took part in both oqt and could take part in 3rd but the deal was that if he fails totally in both first oqt another wrestler will get a chance in last 3rd oqt. Now Janikowski declared that he has finished his career and will start in MMA. Yes - 99% he won`t be in Rio

oh this loss with Italy......

most of the best are already qualified so he has to try to give his best and...sue WADA if he fails, i will cheer him

Szost, Shegumo and Kozłowski almost officially in men`s marathon team in Rio

good news, good luck!!

there are..., you have numbers next to the names

what do you think about Baran?

it`d be nice to have another 1+1+1 in after Mongolia (Łukasiak, Zasina, Michalik, Osocka, Baran, Janikowski, Bernatek etc certainly can do it)

so-if one has some advantage through doping he`s banned, she in fact has similar advantage and is allowed,this is not 100% fair, just this, plz don`t mix me with people who dislike her as a person etc. But the fact is that in hormonal perspective she is a person somewhere between a men and a woman

i understand you but winning Olympics is sth special and other woman can eat their hearts out only to...fight for silver. I have nth against her as a woman, but as she has some extra unfair advantage i`m not cheering her at all. Well, if let`s say we have a sprinter with 3 legs (probably this is possible) or some natural extra level of some hormon who runs 100m in 9.25...should he be allowed to compete with others? I don`t think so. I think Semenya should compete with men, that would be a bit unfair for 1 person, when she competes with woman it`s unfair for all runners on this distance

as a lawyer i think it`s unfair to prefer her rights to compete (1 person) over rights of thousands of runners to compete with woman with whom they are equal in chances. With Semenya it`s unfair for them but we live in times when minority rights are more important than majority. I don`t get it but she is allowed to compete so i can only cheer other woman to beat her in this unfair duel

well, but i think that the advantage of taller players is kind of.....what can we do, Semenya i think has a kind of different advantage but i`m not for her ban, i just think it`s not 100% clear ethically and on her place i couldn`t be able to find any joy in all of this

is San Marino eligible?

Great IDEA!!! So: 1. San Marino 2. St. Lucia 3. Guinea-Bissau

JJ in almost hopeless situation :/

as to me...i`m not able to "cheer" her knowing she has probably some "advantage", in fact i always cheer for other runners only cuz they`re "up against it" fighting with her, i feel for them in fact a bit to be in such situation. I have nth against Semenya to be clear, i`m not sure if her right to fight should be fulfilled at someone elses cost, just it. If i were her i wouldn`t find any satisfaction in winning with weaker people, just this, if i were her - i wouldn`t compete in OG. In some way it is a kind of "natural doping". BTW - sometimes i fell like.....her running at some 70% of abilities not to show how much stronger she is, just the impression i have
