Cobi 947 Posted June 3, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1. Individual men foil (I am excited with the Spanish return in this sport after 13 years), K4 500 and men basketball. 2. for sure. The third one depends on the sport and the athlete, but I would say Central-American nations in general or 3. Rafael Nadal (tennis), Pau Gasol (basketball) and Carolina Marín (badminton). I decided to name three Spanish athletes, but if I have to choose foreign athletes I would say Usain Bolt (athletics), Valentina Vezzali (fencing) and Sebastian Brendel (canoeing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagyarBabu 86 Posted June 3, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1) Swimming all events, Fencing all events, Men's Water Polo 2) I enjoy the successes of neighboring countries: I admire because I consider them great sportsmen for such a small nation. It makes me sad is not having good time even in its most representative sports (Artistic Gymnastic )... I also like a lot too 3) Szilágyi Áron, Nagy Tímea, Gyurta Dániel rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodge 681 Posted June 4, 2021 #18 Share Posted June 4, 2021 1) Men's road race in cycling (love cycling and an Irish medalist here is my dream) Rowing (because Ireland can win multiple medals) and Handball (because I only watch the sport every 4 years) 2) None really. Always want under dogs to win. 3) Katie Taylor - the only non-tainted gold medalist for Ireland in my lifetime Paul O'Donovan - soon to change that... and a non Irish one Felix Savon - pure class as a heavyweight boxer with 3 gold in 92, 96, 2000. Would have won in 1988 too if Cuba didn't boycott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FancyFenchel 106 Posted June 4, 2021 #20 Share Posted June 4, 2021 1) I have a lot of favorite events. And sports. If only three than: men's road race, decathlon, men's volleyball. 2) and all "small nations". 3) I some how move form being fanatic about single athlets. But my favorite of all time will be probably: - Tomasz Majewski - the coolest man ever - Adam Małysz - from whom all my sports factination started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
