Sure but the level of....not sure how to name it...humanity?? of her rival is still shocking. Maybe its different in US. He is not a new guy like with Hillary, he has terrible cv now but still nr1 in US. I find it difficult to believe and living in Poland i'm bit afraid of our future. This guy is unstable. 

I hate what the world is becoming, it's hopeless. I'm losing faith in humanity more and more each day.
I want to say so many things but I will stop there.

World went crazy 8😉. Biden's guilt. Kamala should have been introduced as nr 1 two years ago. I thought its a part of democrats plan after biden's win. Big mistake. 

5 goals by Oliinyk leads to  pulling off a HUGE upset over reigning Paralympic champions  in the men’s goalball semifinals! 

Yes, the Polish woman is the best in the world and there is no doubt about that. But even the best have to abide by the rules, no matter how unfair they may be. Just as the organizers allowed her to compete and only disqualified her later, as a high-level athlete she should also know how things work. You can judge the Brazilian character however you want, but there was a rule and it was not followed.

Nobody can take the paralympics seriously now. the new re-division of categories is completely disgusting and unfair.
 
This is the reason I do not have interest for this edition, if our TV did not cover this final I wouldn´t have seen a minute of it until now at all

We must believe for correct classification. He was too weak for S2 mostly, but seems to strong for S1. It's  not a rarely problem here during OG.  Plenty of this kind of issues. Sometimes we benefit sometines not.  For us it's  better he is reclassified. 

Nice gold...but 16s advantage? I can't get used to such races. It's like it's not his category. For me differencies between athletes are too extreme here. Much bigger than in womans boxing. But here everyone is extatic..me...this is the reason i find it difficult to watch. 

suit designer deserves a raise. Great design choice 

Niewiadoma holds on and wins the Tour by...3 seconds? 

We don't seem to have this momentum, today i'd say...11. But i really think we can have terrible olympic games. 

There is also a point where having too low of hormones levels should qualify you for a TUE, because it becomes a health hazzard.

There's no easy answer for this and can sometimes get a bit philosophical. "What is a woman?" "Does the sport classification of a woman differ?" "If so, in what ways?" "Do some biological women not fit the definition of a sports classification woman?" "Can some trans women fit the definition of a sports classification woman?"
 
Not a fun exercise...

Turns out it's surprisingly hard to make a consistent rule where everyone fits into a "male" and "female" binary for sports purposes.
 
I really don't envy the people who have to draft up rules for this.

I often feel the opposite after Summer Olympics: it's barely 1,5 years until the next Olympics and it's my favourite one, so...fantastic  

But watch for the sports then. Surely also without Polish success there's lots and lots of awesome sports to see? And unless you have a job and can't get two weeks off, not sleeping shouldn't be an issue, just sleep on LA times  

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. 

Well, not the best closing ceremony, I got bored many times.
 
Did it lasted 3 hours so Léon could walk all the way to the stadium??? Hahaha
 
Glad to see the TV broadcast gave about 3 seconds to the tiny  delegation. 
 
Still have the Paralympics in a couple weeks!
 
 

Oh yes I understand. Personally I would not put relationships etc at risk because of the Olympics (good example an old friend living abroad was here on visit until this week and last week one evening we went to meet up - not for a second I cared that the OG is on)
Now I work in flexible time but if I had a job with 3 weeks vacation under absolutely no circumstances would take 2 weeks to watch the OG.
On the other hand I probably watched more international results live than Hungarian ones (I saw live the hammer throw part of the pentathlon and the gold medal by Milak) the rest from replays. 

This part is incroyable 🙂

Time to see what the outside world looks like. Will I still know how to cycle? 

Warsaw 2012 concert was great. And Kasabian - support act !

Yep, this is not a promising start. Athletes...?

They did provide us with the most amazing Olympic theme music ever though courtesy of the wonderful John Williams. Though at 92 years of age they will need a new star

This part is incroyable 🙂
