Yeah, I've met them a couple of time and sometimes talk to them on Twitter (they follow me ). Fallen is really one of the nicest people I've ever met. I'm not sure if you know who Steel is (currently plays for Liquid, the Brazilian Steel) but he is really nice aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketball (Men) Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics In order to qualify must be one of the top 2 Americas teams at 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 FIBA World Cup In order to qualify must be one of top 7 teams at 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup Qualification (Americas) 2019 FIBA World Cup Qualification (Americas) USA 83 - 75 Puerto Rico This win gives us enough points to be in a very good spot to qualify for the second round of the World Cup Qualification. Puerto Rico is the next best ranked team in our group currently ranked 4th in the Americas Region (USA ranked 1st). A bigger point difference would have been preferred but nonetheless a win is a win!

Rdbc 47 Posted March 19, 2018 #153 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Week in Summer #1 - United States March 11th - March 18th Archery The Archery season just ended last week so not much has been going on. The 2018 Archery World Cup starts back up on April 23rd in Shanghai, China. Badminton Yonex All England Open Women's Singles Beiwen Zhang got a eliminated 1st round in the tournament which is not terrible as she went against the #2 ranked player in the World Tour while Beiwen is only ranked #5 XIX Giraldilla Tournament Women's Singles With this tournament win Crystal jumped up 15 places in the World Ranking now being rank 187 in the world for Women's Singles. Basketball Men's We got news this week that our National Team will be playing Australia in a Melbourne Exhibition Game on Aug 22nd and 24th. This will be a practice as Australia is currently ranked 10th in the world (USA 1st) Women's We have got the information on the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Group D dates. Diving Women's 2018 Diving World Series #2 Fugi Synchronized 10m Platform Can't tell if this is a bad result or best we can do result as this is Katrina and Tarrin first Syncro 10m at the 2018 Diving World Series. NOTES: Finding/Keeping up with information for Cycling and Boxing is tough and I'm still trying to find a good way to display it and such. I'm also still working on the spreadsheet with all the summer sports on them I still have a few left (school work was extreme past week) but That's why there was only a select number of sports posted nonetheless I wanted to get this post out. As weeks progress more and more detailed information I will be able to put down for the events/athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdbc 47 Posted March 25, 2018 #154 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Week in Summer #2 - United States March 18th - March 25th Archery Versus MX 2018 (Brady Ellison) On March 22nd through March 25th Brady Ellison (Three-time Olympic Medalist) competed at Versus MX Shoot in Guadalajara, Mexico. He shot both Compound and Recurve (but for the sake of Olympics being Recurve we will only talk about that). Brady shot 686 out of 720 points to seed first in the overall men's recurve ranking round. Brady ended up placing 1st in the Recurve event! Badminton This week there was no competition this week with high ranking USA athletes as Orleans Masters 2018 is next week so I bet many USA athletes will be attending that event. Basketball There is not much news on Basketball as most of their games they play have some sort of direct correlation to the Tokyo Olympics. Here is the information for the Pan American games which I don't think are connected to the Olympic Qualifying in anyway. Men's Women's Cycling Road - UCI World Tour Volta a Catalunya Our current best Road Cycler Tejay Van Garderen competed at this event and placed 17th placing him at 162nd place in the World Tour Ranking. Tejay currently is in 78th place in the World Ranking. We had our second best Cycler competeing at this event aswell, Brent Bookwalter came in 37th place and now is ranked 177th in the UCI World Tour. Brent is currently 120th in the World Ranking. Canoe Not much information has come out recently about USA Canoe as we get closer to the 2018 Canoe Slalom World Cup I should have more information. As more and more Qualification's for the Olympics start coming out it will be easier for me to know what to put on these posts. I've been working hard on getting more and more information on everything but it takes time. I think this format is pretty good the yellow stands out well for each sport so it's easy to differentiate the sports. For the events which have a bunch of competitors (cycling, boxing, etc) I'm just gonna focus on the best ranked atheltes or else it would take me forever.

pjwasz 16 Posted March 27, 2018 #155 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Week in Winter #2 - United States March 11th - March 25th (WIP) Since I missed the previous week, I am covering both in this post. Alpine Skiing Going back to last week, we had the finals of the Alpine Skiing World Cup in Are, Sweden. In this, and the overall, the US fared very well on the women's side, but not as well on the men's side. Ladies' Downhill: Men's Downhill: Ladies' Super G: Men's Super G: No competitors Team Event: No competitors Ladies' Slalom: Men's Slalom: These results mean that Mikaela Shiffrin wins the Overall and Slalom Crystal Globes! Biathlon March 15th-18th there was a Biathlon WC Event in Oslo: Women Sprint: Men Sprint: Women Relay: Men Pursuit: Women Pursuit: Men Relay: This was a great result for our women, especially Susan Dunklee! A podium finish for her, just her 7th career, and coming off one at the World Championships last year. This race was also significant for the US as it marked the end of the 2 top biathletes for the US, Lowell Bailey and Tim Burke. They both have had great careers and have come close to giving the US their first biathlon medal. I loved watching these gentlemen, and their absence will surely be felt. There was a Biathlon World Cup event in Tyumen, Russia that was the following week and concluded the season. This race was boycotted by the United States because of continued suspicion of Russian doping allegations. Bobsleigh The Bobsleigh World Cup will resume 7-9 December in Sigulda, Latvia. Cross-Country Skiing Curling Figure Skating Freestyle Skiing Ice Hockey Luge The Luge World Cup will resume in November. Nordic Combined Short Track Speed Skating Skeleton The Skeleton World Cup will resume 7-9 December in Sigulda, Latvia.
