Jur 509 Posted May 13, 2016 #101 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The only thing that pisses me of about Taimuraz representing Spain is the fact that he had never worried about learning spanish. He had live in Spain before, but now he lives in Russia and only come back for wrestling, and he has not idea about spanish. Even the federation needs a traslator to speak with him.

The athlete's citizenship was suspended after some irregularities in her naturalization process - including the possibility that her marriage with a brazilian was "arranged" (apparently she has another partner). The case was open by Giocondo Cabral, who is a coach of another athlete, Amanda Simeão, the next in line for a spot in the team. The decision is not final, but for now things don't look good for her (more details here). Amanda herself gave some really harsh declarations to the press about her "teammate" (here). One of the first Olympic "soap operas" that will reveal how is not always simple about being fair regarding National selections. vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like selection soap operas you should read up on Trinidad and Tobago's gymnastics selection. It essentially divided a nation.

Right now I'm still trying to figuring out the outcome of the diving soap opera in Mexico... it seems they will do another "check up round"; not to mention the bitterness that will ensue the selection in Men's 20km race walk and the possible exclussion of our hammer thrower.

It was already a bit of a scandal before that ranging from T&T changing their selection criteria to give Dick a chance at competing at the test event to topless pictures of both athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was asked if she would play for Serbia but she refused, being born and raised in France. And how French she feels is visible in Fed Cup. TSS has never invited her to represent Serbia officially. They probably though she didn't worth it, lol. Edited May 14, 2016 by Майкл Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's gonna outshine both Graf and Serena! How come you didn't know that?! Ivana and Nina are irrelevant, on the other hand - they have no famous parents.
