I think at the end of the event is fine. Besides most events end on Saturday/Sunday is it would almost be like a once a week thing.

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the first and second boards in chess. From what I can tell they are the exact same events, but instead of having a 32 person round robin they split them into two 16 person round robin tournaments and awarded medals to both events.

I agree, banning nations is rarely the answer. At this point for Kazakhstan it's not a few bad apples there is something bigger going on. If it is at the coach level then the federation needs to start banning them. If it is at the federation level then this is one of the few instances where a ban is justified.

It's tough for a poor nation like Canada to send athletes to Olympic qualifiers. /s

I think it's unfair that won't get relegated because they are a core team.

Quite the handful qualifying today. With Finland, Luxembourg and Slovenia there aren't too many European nations remaining. I think the biggest one left is Latvia (minus Belarus/Russia).

Let me introduce you to Terese Portela and Terese Portela in canoe sprint.

The older sports come from a time when the sporting world wanted to increase diversity in events. It's difficult to create a catch-all standard, but to balance diversity and prevent low-quality entrants I think sport federations can consider a second entrant from the same nation at a field size greater than 20. The reason skateboarding has three entrants per event is because it has horrible depth. It's pretty much Brazil/Japan/United States and a sprinkle of a few nations. Breaking I am surprised has 2 athletes per nation the sport has a surprisingly amount of depth, maybe they underestimated the number of nations sending athletes.

Did they award the skeet team medals even though we are only 3/5 done the individual event?

And so the onslaught begins. How many nations will qualify in athletics by the time the World Championships begin?

She's been competing for Saint Kitts and Nevis since before the war. She was at the 2021 Junior Pan American Games.

Baseball is probably one of the toughest sports to qualify in at the Pan American Games, especially when you include a host who doesn't care about the sport and force in a South American representative that's not Colombia/Venezuela. Honestly you could expand it to 12 teams and still have a high quality tournament. The issue of course is hosts don't want to accommodate 100 more athletes for a single event plus you can't exactly justify 12 teams in women's softball.

Yeah, I'm expecting quite a few nations to qualify their first athletes in the coming weeks thanks to athletics.

Huge victory, we are now less than 3 points from an Olympic qualifying position. We need a couple of good results against Italy (could be a 2-3 loss) and Netherlands. Of course there is still a year of volleyball to go so lots can happen

You'd have to be very careful with any kind of "SportsWiki" minus a lot of rules. Wikipedia is already plagued with many sport-related stubs and half done articles because the only person working on them ran out of time or went on to the next project. That's the big issue we just don't have enough people working on sport articles given how massive it is. Take the Olympics for example, in a perfect world, all of the nation, sports and supporting pages would be created and completed at a high quality during the span of the Olympics. That's over 700 articles, not including the over 10,000 athlete pages which would be updated. It's no wonder people set up articles in advance.

What about ? Nevermind, Colombia is already qualified

I can't help you with your current issue, but Sportsfan1234 has pretty much made it their mission to bring up sport articles up to "Wikipedia" standards. They rather have a few good pages instead of "result dumps" with the primary being the only source. This hurts smaller events and nations who don't have much of a media presence (especially in English). He has Wikipedia admins on their side because it is the correct way of doing things, but it will come at a cost of knowledge preservation.

Yes, this is becoming the best case scenario for Poland. No Spain or Belgium means Poland is likely to go into the tournament as the second favourites behind the loser of China/Japan (assuming Canada, Fiji and South Africa all win their respective qualifiers). Czechia is still a threat too. This is a massive opportunity for a non-traditional rugby nation to qualify.

Given they were easily defeated by China today, I'm thinking mistake from South Korea.

Big opportunity for Olympic qualification now that Spain is eliminated from contention. The only other nation standing away from the European duo will be the loser of China/Japan.

defeated in the group stage at the Women's Asia Cup. This could cause one of / to miss out in the final Olympic qualification tournament

The team technical is still under protest. Also it looks like three swimming finals were not held. They have been rescheduled over the next three days. They will be held during the morning session.

has qualified in women's 25m pistol

The main site has Mexico getting bronze. Did the rules change or is it another glitch/mistake?
