I'm sure they will replace her, but i was alluding about their chances to win a medal, as whoever they call up won't be on the level of Passler. -

They have literally done this with every single case! Bolshunov in CC, Ireland in Luge & now this. Nice work for the Hilton Hotel, Milan. -

Perhaps CAS proper? Not sure, it's not my world. Would have hoped her lawyers and the USOPC would have though. Though, even if it didn't stop there, apparently she was still asking for an "extra" spot, which isn't in CAS AH's jurisdiction either... as it wasn't in the IBSF's tribunals before that... Ultimately it was an internal USABS selection issue, and I'm sure they have some domestic mediation established to decide on such things, and failing that, then take them to CAS... but her team went barking up every tree but that. To be honest, I really wonder whether she was even trying to win and wasn't just using it as a big PR stunt -

Think for the relay teams can call up a replacement. One of the people from the European Cup yesterday will get lucky. -
UWW announced they are going to review the ranking points allocation. we will see if they come up with something good. the current system is terrible terrible and unfair. they also made few other little changes to make the ranking more relevant I gave it a little thought, something like 50-55 NOCs will qualify at least one wrestlers before the last chance qualifier. they won't be allowed to participate in this event. we usually have something like 60-70 countries in a World Championships, around 80-90 the year before the Olympics. NOCs without quota can send max 2 wrestlers to the last tournament. by my count something like 30-40 NOCs with active wrestling program will be left without a quota. if all of them send 2 wrestlers we will have 70-80 wrestlers across 18 events. that's average of 3 or 4 wrestlers per event. we may end up with only 1 wrestler in some events. I don't know maybe this isn't that bad. this will encourage some weaker non-active countries to take the last chance qualifier seriously. everybody has a chance there. it will be a super weak event. unless countries start buying Russian mercenaries also there is a loophole here. if you are a NOC with 2 good/solid wrestlers, it's better if both of them fail to qualify, therefore you can have two near 100% chances in the last event. but if one of them qualifies earlier the other one is out of the Olympics already. -
Well.. that's a bummer not only for the athlete, but for Italia's chances in the women's relay.
