Please, Tokyo2020, spare us in Canoe Sprint. Thanks for making me even more nervous now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 782 Posted July 30, 2021 #399 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Not that surprising that countries without Covid (New Zealand & Australia) and countries that pretend that Covid doesn't exist (Netherlands) are doing great ... Only surprising that Sweden and North Korea didn't do better ... Also interesting progression by the greek guy in single sculls ... from being completely irrelevant all of his career to olympic gold in such a short time. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,571 Posted July 30, 2021 #400 Share Posted July 30, 2021 1 hour ago, El Greco 21 said: Stefanos Ntouskos said before the Games that he considered early retirement (he is 24) because he is studying (medicine I think) and he doesn't have real help, he cannot work like a professional, as other athletes from the other countries do. So he is quite an example, and hopefully he will keep fighting with more support now. Fantastic race!!! We are on the medal table at last! I agree, it's been a problem for many of our rowers. Most are super young compared to other nations, go to the Olympics once and then are never seen from again. It's a cyclical problem and hopefully this will bring more attention and money to the sport, or at least to Ntouskos so we can see him in Paris and beyond.
