All Activity

Exactly my feeling! I don't usually watch basketball, but I enjoyed the 3x3 matches for some exciting variation during the Games last time. They've got an even stronger squad now with Worthy de Jong.

Entries close tomorrow so the entry lists probably wont be published until the end of next week.

Uziel MUÑOZ - 21.68 (NR) Men’s Shot Put

We are underfunded compared to most countries. Ridiculously so. In general our facilities are atrocious. Our biggest stars are being developed outside our systems (bar boxing and rowing where the worldwide pools are shallow enough)

World Rowing have released the predicted number of entries by event for the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta: M1x - 20 M2x - 18 M4x - 10 LM2x - 13 M2- 13 M4- 11 M8+ - 5 W1x - 13 W2x - 8 W4x - 7 LW2x - 8 W2- 11 W4- 8 W8+ - 5

The top 4 I was referring to was based on the best time individually over the last year coming *into* the competition, not how well they ran here or a prediction about who should be the top 4 moving forward. I don't know why we didn't see Brier or AHW but once they decided not to pick them, the guys selected were the best on time, in theory. My point was that the men's 4x4 is not blessed with an excess of talent right now. We had to split our expected resources between the mixed and the men's. I was just saying that in the circumstances that was a solid run and about as good as we could have expected.

Top times in the period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2024 They’re listed on the Road to Paris site

Does anyone know if the full entry list has been released yet for the final qualification regatta?

In a historical context you're correct as I mentioned, but in terms of current day funding and - in many sports - access to facilities domestically, it's important not to compare today to the 1970s, 80s or even 90s to 2000s. We have high quality programmes in multiple sports designed and funded to deliver success, the goalposts have been moved as a result.

The 2023 World Champ definitely counts.

Izabela Lupulesku je izborila glavni zreb na turniru u Saudijskoj Arabiji gde je u prvom kolu pobedila 28. na svetu, vrlo vazni bodovi za rang listu!! Sabina je zaustavljena u trecem kolu kvalifikacija

Which ranking would be used for deciding the remaining 2 quota places?

Thanks, it is fixed

EURO-HOCKEY TOUR 2023/24 Stage 4 in Brno (Czech Hockey Games) Last Day - 3-4 After PSO - 1-2 Czech Hockey Games Final Standing: 1. FIN 8, 2. SWE 7, 3. SUI 3, 4. CZE 0 EURO-HOCKEY TOUR Final Standing: 1. SWE 28, 2. FIN 22, 3. CZE 17, 4. SUI 5

I'm a big fan of Eurovision. But I hate the Dutch entry this year. My personale favorites are and

We always have the first Monday in May off (hence why it's called May Day), I believe that's our only bank holiday in May. Quite fortunate this year that it's landed on an event like this and the day after Greek Easter (which we celebrate in our family as my uncle is Cypriot).

He's near enough a certainty now to get a quota. For him to miss out and get overtaken in the rankings he'd have to be massively outperformed by Glasnovic who'd himself would have to finish 3rd or 4th and narrowly miss out on a quota. Hopefully Gowin can have similar performances in the last 2 events to put himself in with a shout of a reallocation if he fails at the Euro Champs. Speaking of the 25m rapid, @Larajathere seems to be an error in the rankings. The Italian should have the reallocated quota not the Ukrainian as Ukraine already have 2 qualified athletes.

Yes, and the Dutch too!!

“Scraped five medals” is a pretty wild phrase considering our sporting history 😂

Ok, but FIDAL announcements were that we were aiming for 5/5 relays in Paris. I don't understand why you can't replace 2 people in the mixed relay, because that would be perfect. Today's finals in traditional relays no longer have any significance.

Must be a strong shout now one way or another surely

The outcome of this now takes Coward-Holley into the hosts reallocation spot heading into the last event which is the Euro Champs.

Марко Подрашчанин завршио клупску каријеру освајањем Лиге шампиона. То му је прва, три пута је губио финале, овај пут је његов Трентино неочиквано лако победио Јастржебски. Симболично, финале се завршило његовим поеном из блока. Једна занимљивост: Подрашчанин је једини српски репрезентативац који је играо Лигу шампиона ове сезоне. У Таџикистану, Немања Мајдов пети. Жалиће се на суђење, али реално ово није био наступ за медаљу. Први дан нисам гледао, Милица Николић узела бронзу, Бунчић испао у првом колу. Требало би да сутра падне за још једно место (први испод црте), а и на листи за континенталну квоту ће бити кратак за неколико бодова. За њега су следећа два турнира јако битна - Астана и СП.

If Côte d'Ivoire and Jamaica advance, we will at 100% advance for the ranking but of course it is better to win against Spain today and advance together with the Africans. Yesterday's Spanish time should be within our reach. I prefer to will have 5/5 relay teams - it looking well in the media and you can take an additional 1-2 people to Paris. It is known that individually in the 400 meters we have no chance of winning a medal, just like in the two 400 meters relays.
