Who could have expected such a fucking close finish to 100m final?!

Noah Lyles sabotaged Jamaican's legacy.

Whoever missed this classic run missed the nail-biting finish.

And all 8 competitors under 10 seconds. Wild!

Never saw any race finishing like that in last 2 decades.

Duplantis makes it look so easy.

Now more fun will start in team sports where you can not see often on TV and so on. Sorry I dont care about rugby 7 , I want Rugby union back in the Olympics even league
Sad Argentina is out in all

Basket
Sad two good teams like Latvia and Lithuania was not there same Italy. Who cares about South Sudan basketball?
Funny Spain one of top dogs was last in group and did not enter for medal battle? Seems Spain has small crisis there in basketball in last years

Quarters
France vs Canada
Canada is on ace after last WC and France has home pressure specially after fiasco in last WC , can it help, I will say Canada has chances to win here, I am little sceptic about a la France atm

Germany vs Greece
Germany also are on ace, Greece somehow has big name, players and good league but atm national team dont show good game.

Brazil vs USA
USA best players on paper, individually but can they play as team, history shown USA can loose to biggest Europe guns, can it happen now. I would say no, Brazil cant play so well but they can try.

Australia vs Serbia
Serbia is well second or third best but I hope Australia takes it

Hanball
WOMEN
Quarterfinals Sweden vs Hungary
Good way silence Orban and show hin finger. go Swedish girls

MEN
Quarterfinals
France vs Germany
Seems German coming back in old heydays, France has home arena factor. Germany can use it

Spain vs Egypt
Last 8 years Swe and Den has dominated WC and EC finals , Spain and France was send to second year at same school, but still good team. Egypt are good team, maybe best outside Europe , it can be good game all can happen, but I am my continent patriot I hope Spain do it

Norway vs Slovenia
Slo has good team, but Norway are better

Sweden vs Danmark
Why .. why not Slovenia
Its derby and be hard, to me this has real final value


Volley

Quarter-finals
Italy 3-2 Japan
France 3-2 Germany
Slovenia 1-3 Poland
USA 3-1 Brazil

Semi-finals
Italy - France
Good leuages, good teams but France as national team dont shine so much as Italy does, I say they wont do now

USA vs Poland
Poland imo is best team in Europe and USA you never know, they have good volley places there, small and unknown , all can happen , but Poland IMO takes gold

Football
Funny one only in Olympics Egypt can play well so long to final, anyway Final France vs Spain. maybe its time for EC revenge.?

Hockey

In the semifinals, India faced Germany in what could have been a rematch of their Tokyo bronze medal clash, where India beaten Germany. Despite India's strong and dominant performance on the field, the Germans delivered a phenomenal display. It's challenging to beat India in their own sport, but the Germans went all out yesterday, seeking redemption and successfully knocking India out of the semis.

Basket

Well USA won, but they had on paper best team , only Serbia could stop them, but they did not, so USA are champions in women and men.
Australia had chances won Serbia in quarters.
I saw women game last minutes damn it was thriller. France could do it.

Football
France did not revenge and basically France in all team sport as host nation did not deliver , not basket, handball, football. Its disaster for them, if we can say, not as loosing in last Rugby union WC at home against New Zeeland in semis, but still

Handball
Both France and Spain in quarter won their opponents in Overtime , sad Sweden lost to Denmark whit one point
Germany 25-24 Spain, Denmark 31-30 Slovenia

Final I was hoping Germany will win, but I know its not relevant but Denmark 2 players has long hair so Henrik Möllgaard and Mikkel Hansen.
I wanted see Germany winning, their best performance 2003 world cup in Portugal where they lost to Croatia and 2002 EC in Sweden where they loose in OT to home nation.
So well interesting one
Women if 3 Nordic countries are in semis, good Norway won France

Volley
Man France did won gold at home, so a bit little healing for other team sport desater
Italy took womens gold

Summary
Good Olympics whit good individually and team sports, good time zone and interesting even not always Swe free TV what I hjave show best events I want to see, I am happy.
Last summer OG in normal time zone for me

What next
2028 Summer Olympics Los Angeles, USA
2032 Summer Olympics Brisbane, Australia
US be better for ms for time, I remember 2002 , Sydney OG but even now we had events from 09:00 something so , replay might do

2026 Winter Olympics Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy
2030 Winter Olympics French Alps, France

2 Winter OG in close region, Sweden should get , but good, I dont want pay my taxes
Not so easy organize winter games
France has 2 Olympics in 6 years but they cant have next Rugby league WC , after 2 years when Rugny Union WC happened. Weird. Have they so much tax payers?

What is flag football and t20 cricket and difference between normal cricket

Flag football is like rugby with slight difference in tackling - players tackle the ball carrier by pulling a flag off their belt rather than on above the knees and below the shoulders, but only if they have possession of the ball.

T20 and normal cricket: Cricket has 3 formats - Test Matches(which is of 5 days), One Day International(50 overs game played on a single day) and T20( 20 overs game played in few hrs). IOC taken an account of shortest format to wrap up the games in quick succession. Here, India Australia and England looks favorites.

Maybe old but
