Can you link me to a video of the goals?
I would guess the Dutch goal was deflected
It's in the spoiler, the goal is video 11/13 
But it's okay, 2 of the players have given an explanation on Belgian television, the goal was approved because it was a 'drag flick' (I think it is this in English) or something like that 
I can't see the video because I am not in Belgium but yeah drag flicks are fine because they are hit from the very edge of the D (you start outside but let go just inside) whereas the one today was comfortably in the D |

A Norwegian has sensationally made it to the final in fencing. I had never heard of him before earlier today, when I suddenly saw a Norwegian on the screen
The Olympics are just great, it makes me cheer and support athletes I've never heard of before, and makes me watch sports I've never seen before/only watch once every 4. year, when the Olympics are. |

+1
Every 4 years some great sports are shown on television, everybody loves these sports, sometimes somebody shouts out 'This is waaaaaaaaaay better than football (for example). Why isn't this shown on television in the other years?' and always we have to wait another 4 years to see these sports  |

Isn´t there a strange swim club in Marseille or so where a lot of French swimmers had Sky-like improvements? But in the Sky thread we already learned it´s only the training methods.
Most train in Marseilles, Nice or Antibes. One of my mates was there last year (the whole year) and still goes there every other week-end now. So he got to meet them all.
I'm not sure in which of them it is, but all those who changed club became asthmatic there.
If it was just asthma and ventoline that wouldn't be as bad as it looks. I mean look at their faces. I know some people have weird faces, etc. but I'm not naive enough to think that people with normal faces all grow big chins, big cheek-bones and foreheads (as well as being very muscular, though that makes sense for swimmers, especially sprinters), without using and abusing HGH.
Of course this is all jealousy by me, and it's well-known that it's only about
training methods and small margins.
He already talked about that some days ago.

And even years ago, actually (maybe not on this forum though).
I forced my pals to admit that there's a very high proportion of people with strange face bones in swimming, compared to the normal population. I'm not saying they all take HGH, but you have to notice it's a funny coincidence.
Plus HGH also makes you taller and increases the size of your feet, in addition to the muscles it makes you grow. Admittedly, it's quite convenient when it comes to swimming.

I found that one, a site from the BBC with a lot of athletes there. You tip in your height and weight and then it looks who is as close as your height and weight.
https://www.bbc.co...k-19050139
I am 1.91m tall and my weight is 70kg (without looking twiggy like the athlete) and they found Bradley Wiggins the closest but weighs 1kg less. Is that good or is that bad? :S
When I train as hard as Wiggins does  maybe I will be also a good cyclist then?

1,83 / 71 kg. I'm like Gerraint Thomas. Maybe if I go on a mountain stage with Sky my sporting performances will improve by 'small margins' ? |
