c'est bizarre que les fréres Onfroy n’était pas aligné en M2- , l'idée de créer un M4x en si peu de temps était suicidaire

Archery has ever had a clean sweep in the first place at Olympics? Koreans win golds but not cleansweep at least in the last couple of decades or so For a nation that won 2 recurve medals at World championship in mixed team and men's team and none in individual podium sweep is out of equation. Archery is an unpredictable sport but Korea has the least experienced women's team for Olympics I have seen from a while, no where close to the nerves of steel they are known for. The Archery world cup in Korea running now should throw more light on them.

Au final, 5 bateaux qualifiés sur 14, le même total qu'à Tokyo (le quatre sans barreur masculin ayant remplacé le quatre de couple féminin). On en avait bien plus dans les années 2000 2000 : 9 2004 : 6 2008 : 8 2012 : 5 2016 : 7 2020 : 5 2024 : 5

He should argue that his grandpa didn’t understand the address form, then he tasked his girlfriend but she was pregnant so she only filled half of it, and when he want to finally went to do it himself, the Internet connection failed. Oh wait, he’s not from an English speaking or first world western country, so even a true and honest mistake wouldn’t exonerate him.

Does anyone knows what happens with the qualification of Serbia m2X, is Piemenov only allowed to qualify one shell and thus resign for the M1x ? If he resign in the single the quota won at European qualifiers will be put back in game and add another spot in the men’s single “the quota place will be reallocated to the next highest placed boat from an NOC that has not yet qualified a boat for the Olympics” That would mean both Hungary and Monaco would qualify in the M1x as Slovenia already took the quota in the W1x and a single NOC can’t take both quota.

This is the second time Canada fails to qualify a male rower at a non-boycotted Olympics. The first time? 1900.
