For as much of a name as Andorra has made for themselves in international 3x3. They’re really not that good, or at least they’re struggling against France’s B team.

Andorra is not a good team, they lose like 90% of their international matches. At a certain point they were a top team in the 3x3 ranking, but that's only because it's the most idiotic ranking  system ever invented.

Another good match, this time on the men’s side, between :LTU and :EST. :LTU has traveled well with some passionate (very passionate) fans.

The ranking system rewards nations for having more players. A nation with 100 players with 1 point each would be ranked higher than a nation with 4 players with 24 points each, despite the latter would crush the former in any match-up.

Great, so we'll have a flagbearer who is already eliminated before the opening ceremony.

 

At least he can have his full focus on waving the flag now :banana: 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

    • First loss of the season for Team Homan as Team Constantini defeats them 6-2 at the GSOC HearingLife Challenge 
    • it looks that earlier Today the  crew of Ineos Britannia made the decisive break and now they're just 1 win away from the Louis Vuitton Cup and the chance to face Team Emirates New Zealand for the America's Cup   in Today's 2 races, for the first time there was no share of victories between the  and  crews, instead the  guys were simply better than the Italians, who made a capital mistake in the choice of the jib in the 1st race and just lost the start battle (and therefore the race) in the 2nd head-to-head   now Ineos Britannia leads the best-of-13 series by a score of 6-4
    • World Junior Championships ( Dushanbe)   Day #1 Medallists   women's -48kg Gold:  Hui Xinran Silver:  Sachiyo Yoshino Bronze:  Kristina Dudina &  Clarice Ribeiro   women's -52kg Gold:  Iroha Oi Silver:  Senju Nosho Bronze:  Huh Mio &  Alyssia Poulange   men's -60kg Gold:  Yamato Fukuda Silver:  Loiq Kudbudinov Bronze:  Murodil Murodillaev &  Talgat Orynbassar   men's -66kg Gold:  Shuntaro Fukuchi Silver:  Kairi Kentoku Bronze:  German Kobets &  Alessio De Luca

    • I’m home with the flu. Tomorrow I will start my job as Swedish jury. It will actually be something good to do when I’m not feeling well. 
    • preliminary entry list for the World Championships (non-Olympic weights) 2024   https://uww.org/article/world-championships-non-olympic-weights-2024-entries   Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the Russian trials yesterday (he didn't look good though) and therefore his name is here, as well as another Olympic Champion Zaur Uguev. with David Taylor, Jordan Burroughs and Reza Geraei we have at least 5 Olympic Champions in the list    also interesting to see lots of guys (Berdimuratov, Ganbaatar, Tsakulov, Kaipanov etc) cut weight massively from their usual Olympic weight to wrestle here.  which shows the importance of a World Championship title    ps: 2024 Olympians are not allowed to wrestle here.
    • I genuinely wonder if ski mountaineering is honestly more popular in terms of audience. Cyclocross quite certainly isn't   Although I believe the season is about to start, so Belgian TV will be busy making it look big again  
    • Nordic Combined isnt a big loss. A widely umpopular sport consisting of mixing more popular sports that doesnt really hook anyone.   I rather had his quotas go to SkiMo or Cyclocross, to be completely honest
    • Is it confirmed or are FIS and other stakeholders just in talks???
