drakos13 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 So DAY 1: Gazis 75k Boxer, made it to the next round after beating a boxer from the DR Congo 7-2 on points..... alexanidis judo 60 kgot eliminated and 2 womens archers finished quite low
loup Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Good thread-- I find the official Olympic sit half useless but I see that the gymnist Maras - former world champ in the horzontal bars -- did not qualify for round 2 for either the bars or the vault looks like 2:30 AM tip off Spain- Greece Eastern Time -- if its on I'll stay up :gr:
drakos13 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Well this is going to be one of the worst games, least memorable (for Greece) - in addition to the doping incidents, are others are not doing so well. Basketball our pride and joy started with a horrible performance against World Champs and Spain who are great, but we didnt need to lose that bad...Should have done much better...... The water polo (mens) started with their easiest match vs Australia, and lost 12-8. By easiest I mean it only gets downhll with Montenegro, Hungary in their group etc.. Our two beach volleball teams were eliminated today too....and Viki Karadasiou/arvaniti should have done much better than get eliminated in the first round... Another Judo guy went eliminated..... Grigoriadis, our top swimmer, did not qualify for the semifinals and is out and so are all the other swimmers who competed.... The only positive was rowing and gymnastics were we stayed alive:
drakos13 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) No interest in this therad :( Not much to be optimistic so far I guess..... Our silver medalist womens polo lost their opener to Australia.....just like the men did... Kaklamanakis finished 5th in windsurfing- not sure what that means... Ioannis Christou, finished 3rd in his rowing race, meaning hell go on to the next round. Best news of the day - he was in 2nd for most of the race, so hes still in medal contention i feel. Danilidou lost her match to a french girl.... Kayaking, some swimming all finished low...so basically not going far.... Edited August 11, 2008 by drakos13
Irlandos Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 @Drakos13, Don't be disappointed! I read this thread daily to find out what's happening! Btw, when is the track and field - the real Olympics?
drakos13 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 i beleive it starts friday heres a link to all schedules great resource, miles more useful than anything on beijing website ive seen http://www.novasports.gr/olympicgames/defa...p?aid=%20156705
drakos13 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Heres a list of all Greek participating events for Tuesday 12th (all times are GMT + 2, or Greek Time ) !!! Lets go HELLAS! Edited August 11, 2008 by drakos13
Guest TheLegend Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 This year Greece is on course to not even contest for a medal. Its a shame.
paxiotis7 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Do we have any good athletes in judo or boxing or any type of fighting? I dont normally follow those sports but I think we had a few winners in those types of events last olympics correct?
Guest TheLegend Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 were completely outplaying germany int he 2nd half of the first half. currently up 39-30 but even the written commentation says our speed and movement of the ball is killing germany as well as the double team being used often once dirk touches the ball.
Guest TheLegend Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 going into half time up by 11. Much better than what ive seen against spain. They must have woke up big time. We also scored like 2 free throws so we tied our spain tally :LOL:
DUDE Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 This year Greece is on course to not even contest for a medal. Its a shame. We may get a medal in the long jump.For those interested, Cyprus could get a medal in the high jump.
drakos13 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Heres a roundup, broke down for you: Good news is in Blue , because its hard identifying good news these games :LOL: Edited August 12, 2008 by drakos13

drakos13 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 Womens Polo lost 9-6 to Holland :tdown:
drakos13 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 it seriously is...catastrophic. I feel the only thing that can save us is a bronze or silver from the Basket team. (because we dont have any olympic medals there) Ping Pong lost today too..but to China so it was expected.
drakos13 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 Thursday Appearances (GR TIMES) Bold letters represent my optimism for these events...Supposedly we can qualify for the rowing into the finals..We did good last time. Wrestling no idea what to expect... 05.00:
loup Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 this is terrible any wrestlers? Can kenteris get to china quick, I will mail in a cup of urine for him
paxiotis7 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Wowww this is terrible!! Illiadis got eliminated?!
Genome Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I will mail in a cup of urine for him :LOL: :tup:
