What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.

Of course I was joking. I don't even understand why these events exist in first place. They are competing at the same exact same tracks as in normal races (of course), but for whatever reason the time only starts to run halfway through. What nonsense.

It's time for the luge sprint events to become olympic. A luge sprint Mixed-Teamrelay wouldn't be a bad idea either.

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!

They had in the semifinals as well. They are currently rowing like this. Glad it worked again.

Ja. Der DOSB hat es verkündet.

Im Hockey gibt es auch noch eine Änderung. Julia Sonntag fällt aus. Lisa Schneider rückt nach. Und im Handball Kai Häfner statt Franz Semper.

The Games 2020 were in Asia, which made it easier for Asian's teams to qualify, because Japan was automatically qualified in most team events. Just like it's easier to qualify for European teams this time.

Hätte er sowieso nicht, weil es durch die Universality Places zu viele Teilnehmer gab, und er dadurch rausgeflogen ist. Deshalb war der DOSB auch einverstanden, Winkler im Einzel zu nominieren, weil er niemandem den Startplatz wegnimmt.

Schmetterlingsschwimmer Kaii Winkler hat gerade noch rechtzeitig die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft gekriegt, um nachnominiert zu werden.

Having Dehning for Silver in Men's Javelin shows that they were just looking at the SBs. At least in some events.

Congrats Best team of the tournament won the title. I wish, we had played you later, but that's how it is. And sorry for the booing against Cucrella, that was really embarassing.

Kaul was quite good in Javelin Throw at the NC, though slightly worse than Röhler, not better. For him, a lot depends on the high jump, where he injured himself at the Tokyo Olympics while jumping 2,10m. Since then, he had problems in high jump with his foot from time to time again. If he does not lose to many point in 100m and long jump and if the high jump works, I do think he has a shot at the medals, though I don't think he's among the prime contenders. In Rome, he missed a better result because of the high jump and because he almost fell in the hurdles and was much slower than he usually is in this event. So he has some space for improvement compared to the European Championships.

He has a much higher chance in Long Jump. I honestly don't think he would have one in Decathlon at all. Not good enough in Discus and especially Javelin throw. At least not yet.

He won't participate in Decathlon at all, which, frankly, is the only reasonable thing to do from his point of view. He's a medal contender in Long Jump, and the Qualification is the morning after the seond day in Decathlon.

When is the first realistic medal chance of the Games for your nation? Day 1 with Lukas Märtens at the 400 Freestyle and maybe the mixed rifle team event in Shooting. When do you think your nation will get their first medal and in which event? I really hope Märtens will make this. It has been quite a while since we had such a big chance on day one, even for Gold. Is there a bumper day for your nation where you expect more than one or a few medals to come? If so, what day? Our chances on August 3rd aren't to bad. Also later during the Games, with the Canoe sprint events. Is there a day when you expect to have not so much competitors from your nation competing or no chances for medals? I think our chances on day 2 are pretty low.
