Adopt a Small Country or a Country with very few athletes

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Having looked at the medals table, it would seem Starfish is falling down on the job

BAD Starfish

I'm a bit late but I'm going to support Cambodia.

My new country has six athletes. I'm afraid Khom Ratanakmony was eliminated in the round of 32 in the Judo competition yesterday

So we're now putting our hopes on the other five athletes still in the game. Next up is the swimmer Ponloeu Hemthon on the 2nd of August. Can definitely see him winning the gold...

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Oh good, I was going to have them and Brunei, but already have four athletes and am not greedy

 

[districtline]

We can share

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

We can share

Nah, you're just trying to get out of keeping an eye on all six of them

 

[Espresso]

Hold the phone, here.
Why is it a "Nah" to his/her sharing, yet my Vanuatu team is open to all comers.
I demand a recount.


Not really. I'm just being giddy.

districtline was offering to share with me. I turned the offer down because I already have four athletes to watch and I'm not greedy.

Of course, you could have a word with souljacker and mango5 and tell them to take their grubby little mitts off Vanuatu

 

[Espresso]

Ach, not really.
Just faffing about. I like this thread.

oh. I was hoping for a ruck between the three of you

 

[el-ahrairah]

Which nation will you be representing? Have you got your credentials?

I'll be representing Brixton in the long distance drinking.

Very harsh punishment considering it was Abby Wambach. A player noted for dishing it out and then not being prepared to take it back in return.

Yes, but you do have 109 athletes

 

[trashpony]

Nothing exciting is happening for Kiribati's team until Friday. One of our athlete's is in the men's 100m. I don't reckon his chances much

 

[Me76]

I can't find my woman in the list for the preliminary heats this morning.

 

[Cid]

Well things aren't looking great for my Timor Leste runner in the women's marathon...

 

[twentythreedom]

Haven't seen any of my teams

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Haven't seen any of my teams

Sao Tome both have athletes who are in 100m and 100m hurdles

St Lucia has a male high jumper, a swimmer, a sailor and a female high jumper

 

[Cid]

Well she got a PB and finished. Admittedly second from last.

[Me76]

Not a small team but I have a bet with the kebab man that if Turkey get a gold I get a free kebab.

Haven't seen my sprinters though, and I was looking for them.

 

[paulhackett]

Colombia in silver in women's long jump! Caterine Ibarguen!

 

[Cid]

Colombia is really not a small country though.

 

[paulhackett]

Colombia is really not a small country though.

They've won 3 silvers and a bronze and are outside the top x.. so they're not big, but yes, they're not tiny, but I have family there so I'm supporting them..

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Colombia is really not a small country though.

Colombia have been allowed as we don't want them ending up like Colombian footballers

 

[paulhackett]

Yes. Thank you. Otherwise there'll be more punching of American women and we don't want any more of that do we.

 

[twentythreedom]

Most of them dudn't qualify Nuff respect to them all just for getting here though!!

 

[twentythreedom]

^@minnie btw

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yes. Thank you. Otherwise there'll be more punching of American women and we don't want any more of that do we.

you've lost me

 

[Cid]

They're ahead of the second most populous country in the world, I'm not sure that's a very good argument. I mean of course support them by all means, I just feel they have no place in this thread. But Minnie and her flexible approach to rule interpretation didn't DQ you, so I suppose it's fine. just fine.
