the only problem with Semenya - if she has some advantage and it seems she has - is shall they let her fight with woman (a bit unfair for all of them) or man (a bit unfair to her). Very difficult situation in ethic perspective and i`m not able to judge it since it is not that clear medically what sort of advantage she has (i don`t know it). If her advantage over typicull woman is huge or big maybe the most ethic option would be in fact to say "stop running with woman". I just mean kind of "justice" and "equal chances" only. So if her advantage is "big" maybe she should try to fight with man at her risk, so tough to judge

if it wasn`t mentioned Benin in fencing

2 quotas for Poland

i agree about it, this sport is sick

if Armenians are winning in Turkey...believe me...they had to deserve it

I love French sport, but when some team deserves criticism it deserves it, just it. STOP. I think most of us here like French sport as a whole. I dislike this de_gambassi guy for his comments, that`s it. STOP

well, French team deserves criticism but sure, finally they won it fair. As to you - you by yourself are writing very stupid comments like with this "tradition" after sad Polish handball woman`s team loss with Russia. Don`t expect any sympathy here, it seems you`re maybe disliked not only by me. By your fault only

Polish coaches and journalists had written the same after each loss of our girls and some 2-3 losses of our male boxers. This sport is sick, i agree but who is right...impossible to tell, one thing is sure....many verdicts are questionable and from what i know many of them were also unfair to Polish boxers

nice to see Kyrgyzstan As to woman`s divisions....Italy is our hope next year

naaah, Slovenia was weak, Bosnia didn`t have a pro team, Macedonia lost it, so we have only Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro

in my opinion this match was fixed as, as i remember, DEN-SWE in football but i`m really happy with the outcome, DEN and CRO are worthy of going to Rio

but it`d be risky for Denmark, so they helped Norway the way they could. If they lost by many goals they could be out, c`mon, cases of Scandinavian "draws" are widely known

it always happens between scandinavians, u know it too

, they always do, boring

Norway-Denmark, the whole world knew it will end with a draw

in u-23 almost everything is possible, even medal for Honduras, the only chanceless team is Fiji, Iraq was once close, Japan and Korea were amazing last time, Africa is always dangerous

Great success this year!! :), Woman, u-18, u-20 almost with France, Senior Team advanced to final oqt...now just last step ahead of us (i`m not affraid of Lithuania u-18)

he had few more "sour" moments - still German team was probably first "pro team" of Olympics. Well, Poles gave him satisfaction, our anthem wasn`t played not even once but i`m not sure if he was anti-Polish in 1936

i think u lost on purpose, very unfair, tradition?

hmmm, it`s a kind of spooky that players of 1 discipline have different mentality than 95% of them...but it happens, it`s like with our woman`s volleyball let`s say (not that scale but similar)

well, usually they use 3 team direct table :D, NED has clearly the worst gf but in some way i`m happy about it, i like surprises, come backs, and because i think NED is better than FRA in those terms i`m rooting NED tomorrow!!

thx :), so i guessed it cuz it was the only "logical" explanation, but to be true, i`ve never heard of such strange system, lucky France + Netherlands

i was sure that Iranians are bigger patriots...BTW....it`s not players to decide if they want to play for the coach..., they don`t have to LIKE him, it looks so amateury, sorry to say. Do you know if Bahrain also has some foreign players?

i don`t get it cuz Spain has won with Italy while NED has lost....too complicated, ok, so 3-team table decided 1st place, while direct match the 2nd while results with ITA decided about 4th place?? Oh my....

what a strange sys to give NED 2nd place, totally unlogical for me! Ok, ITA-ROM and HUN-GER are easy picks, then the hit ESP-CAN, ESP seems to be the fav but CAN is really good, the looser will be the biggest looser of whole 4 years...while the winner of NED-FRA the oppossite. Both teams are a surpise, both are a bit "new" to this level (not mentioning the old times), a bit unstable so the shape of the day will decide, i bet on NED and ESP
