Vic Liu 1,592 Posted June 20, 2021 #21 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I am fan of Rafael Nadal but I hope Roger Federer could win men's single in his maybe last five events. rafalgorka and NMQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,195 Posted June 20, 2021 #23 Share Posted June 20, 2021 for sure in men's hammer throw for the gold IF we won't have a chance to win the event (I doubt it, I think Halász would need a miracle). It would be criminal if Pawel Fajdek would miss yet another chance for the gold, he's one of the greatest athletes ever in men's hammer throw. rafalgorka and NMQ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Linha 474 Posted June 20, 2021 #24 Share Posted June 20, 2021 For me definitely Churandy Martina . The way he got DSQ from silver at the Beijing 2008 was just not right. He will surely be the one I will be chearing for the most, except fellas, of course?? rafalgorka, heywoodu and CCB 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajiv 25 Posted June 20, 2021 #25 Share Posted June 20, 2021 All I can say is I do find it amazing that any non American would be cheering on an American . Or maybe a Russian or Chinese too Because : These countries win more than enough medals as it is and They are countries which have a more than an average chance of having dopers get medals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted June 20, 2021 #26 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I have too many personal favorites to mention here, across variety of sports... But let's start with Andrew Hoy. The last man standing of the (amazing) eventing class of Los Angeles 1984, and a true medal contender this summer. rafalgorka 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCB 445 Posted June 20, 2021 #27 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'll cheer for Pernille Blume (swimming), Damian Warner at the heptathlon and the women's volleyballteams of and . rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted June 20, 2021 #28 Share Posted June 20, 2021 4 hours ago, MagyarBabu said: - ALL (Janja Garnbret ) - A medal for in Gymnastic - Maria Magdalena Andrejczyk GOLD medal - Hughues Fabrice Zango, Men's Tiple Jump - Ruman Shana, Archery and would be amazing! Both are my sentimental favorites here, along with Matvei Petrov from as I mentioned before. And I'm torn about what to expect from . On one hand, Iordache is an extremely talented gymnast who deserves an individual medal. On the other hand, Romania butchered and destroyed their women's program, so they don't have my sympathy and don't deserve an Olympic medal this year, at least not until they fix their program. So, my heart says yes, but my brain says no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a wonderful athlete happens to be American, Chinese, Indian or German (or any random country), why on earth would I cheer against him/her just because of which nationality is in their passport? That'd be nonsense.

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...
