Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so will need to work hard to achieve our quotas. It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'. Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so. (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube. https://tickets.la28.org/
I am very curious. We got extremely lucky in the first ticket drop, both my and my wife's emails were selected for relatively early time slots-- early enough that we bought our full allotment of tickets for good stuff. Not swimming or gymnastics of course, but we were really pleased, d
But today I received an email on one of those accounts saying that we were entered into the second drop because we hadn't used up our 12 ticket allotment. I went back and counted-- twice-- and yes, we certainly did purchase 12 tickets on that account.
I am not sure I want any more! Did this happen to anybody else?
Congrats to your talented team. Don't know what happened with the Dutch men. In qualies and race for bronze they were a lot faster than Italy, but in the second round our third man (Tijmen van Loon) was almost 1,5 second slower than in the two other rounds.
We really need Jeffrey Hoogland back in our team. That's the only way to give competition to the British team.
However, today was a special day. For the first time since very long we entered the Women Team Pursuit and eventually won the bronze medal. Well, a lot of countries didn't participate, but with a national record of 4.12 still a very promising result. There are rumors that Milano Cortina 1.500 meter speedskating Olympic champion Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong will enter the team.
Ju Jitsu
One of the worst martial arts really. Surely the middle east lobby.
The -52kg W final deserved to win gold and did all attacks still lost to who was trailing even on advantages and did nothing.
Total mockery of the sport. C'mon I'll happily watch Wushu here instead. Really wished to watch woodball
