Agger 1,591 Posted June 5, 2021 #22 Share Posted June 5, 2021 3 events - Athletics (all events but men's 100m - yeah, I'm that guy!), mountain bike and track cycling 3 countries - Would it be fair to select when Denmark is afterall my main country? Other than that I'll go with , (but only in the summer ) and 3 All time favourites (well, I'm keeping it to the times I remember) - Therese Alshammar (), Peter Gade () and Andreas Thorkildsen () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,552 Posted June 5, 2021 #23 Share Posted June 5, 2021 1. The men's 50k race walk, the men's mountainbike race and.....the men's road race, maybe. Not sure about the third option. 2. Any small nation which can make history in some form or another, and just small nations/teams in general, because cheering for big nations is boring.. 3. Noriaki Kasai far and away in first place, Felix Sanchez, Gerard van Velde. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

So i will not admit something false they are all Israelis by law israeli and by the IOC's *edit note* I really like India and has nothing against it, the opposite is true, and I’ll use to apologise if anyone got offended by anything I wrote, but the constant criticism that was made ,is far more than should be acceptable here, as we all here for the common love of the Olympics games and our countries and wish them both the best so from here I wish India (and everyone else good luck at the games and hopefully improve from last games and get where you should be( but hopefully not on Israel’s expense )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinzha 529 Posted June 5, 2021 #29 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I'm a bit late, but definitely a great poll! 1.Which are the 3 events ( team or individual sports) you are looking forward to watch the most? Athletics (all events), mountainbiking and track cycling (esp. men's team sprint!) 2.If you were asked to support 3 other nations at the Olympics apart from your own, what would they be? Italy and France mostly, I guess I'll pick for the third. 3.Who are your 3 favourite all time Olympians? Dutch: Pieter van den Hoogenband (swimming), Epke Zonderland (gymnastics) and Ireen Wust (speed skating). If non-Olympian athletes also counted, I would've gone with Arjen Robben (cutting inside) as well. International: Eliud Kipchoge (marathon), Nafissatou Thiam (heptathlon) and Kevin Mayer (decathlon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
