A little bit of news from last night...

 

As far as I can tell, Jhuskarly Patricia Becerra Montesinos :WHT became the first refugee athlete to win a medal at the (Youth) Bolivarian Games. She'll box for the gold medal later today :yes

:COL:IND:LBN:MAC:MEX:PHI:KOR:ROU:TUN:TKM earned their first quota (or quotas) for the Games.

 

Wushu (Sanda) quotas now shown on the qualification page: https://www.theworldgames.org/editions/Chengdu-CHN-2025-14/qualifications/by-sport

 

I'm a little confused how quotas were distributed, given that one women's weightclass has 8 quotas awarded, but another only has 3 quotas awarded :mumble:

Bornan and FISU have entered a partnership. The joint press release seems to suggest they'll be handling the upcoming results systems, but it's not super clear in my opinion.

 

Anyways, Bornan continues to extend their influence in multi-sports games.

Brume :NGR starts the women's long jump with a 6.92m. I believe that's the first she's jumped past the standard, so that should be a second athlete Nigeria in the event.

 

Edit: I can't find info on the wind, so mark that one with an asterisk for the time being.

Women's 20km Race Walk seems a bit cursed this cycle between the lap counting error here and the incorrect measurement at the Pan American Games :mumble:

Results in RW are sooooo weird.

 

Gathimba and Fekansa were all km just one second apart one from the other, but according to results Fekansa had 3 warnings so he had to go 1 minute to the pit stop. But with the kilometre by kilometre results dosnt seem like he did.

They might not be final then, becuase the women's results are also a mess.

Fekansa :ETH beat Gathimba :KEN in the men's 20km Race Walk. Definetly one of the more surprising results in athletics.

Tsige Duguma :ETH wins the women's 800m and goes under the Olympic standard :cheer:

 

Nakaayi :UGA also finishes under the standard, but I believe she already had already done that before.

A few NRs in athletics, but no one too close to any of the Olympic standards. I'd be a bit surprised if anyone gets a standard, since it's so early in the season.

Plus, it does seem like they host regular events at a few of the venues.

PanamSports may have wanted Paraguay to keep their focus on the 2025 Junior Pan American Games as well. I can definitely see that being a cosideration at least.

It's a shame we are getting a repeat host so quickly, but they also don't have a lot of time and I believe most of the infrastructure is there in Lima

Lima isn't without risks given the politcal instability of the last few years, but if they have done some upkeep on the venues, you'd hope infrastructure costs will be low.

 

Also, assuming most of the venues are still viable, it will be interesting to see what they do with the sports program.
