Ah yes. Forgot Marin Ranteš. Bronze medalist at the BMX Worlds this year, not going to the Olympics because 9 quotas. Legitimate medal chance gone. Surely he would be going if he were Canadian

That game vs Poland is definitely the darkest moment for Chinese basketball in my whole life.

Most unexpected team qualifier: men’s field hockey

 

Most unexpected individual qualifier: probably Daniel Gaysinsky in karate.

 

Team that failed to qualify that hurts the most: men’s baseball from a medal perspective, men’s basketball from an importance perspective. The women’s 3x3 team not even having a chance to qualify was a bitter pill, too.

 

Athlete that failed to qualify that hurts the most: Haya Jumaa in karate since she is probably the highest ranked Canadian athlete in any sport to fail to qualify (not counting internal selection), and she will likely never get another chance. The Christa Deguchi / Jessica Klimkait internal selection battle in judo was also really painful.

Archery. Both athletes lost their decisive match against some dead-average opponents

I was expecting Handball. Nonetheless Dan Olaru deserves one of the spots since he and Mirca have the 2nd best matchplay score in mixed team only behind Korea in the last 2.5 years (World Cup + world championships) So well deserving

1) men's basketball. quite unexpected and somehow lucky

 

2) lots of names. despite being one of the best teams in the world (if not the best) we will have only 3 athletes in Karate!! even USA and Kazakhstan will have more.  wrestling failing to qualify a full team was also disappointing. Sajjad Mardani in Taekwondo, also Keikha in Gymnastics. but above all, Sohrab Moradi our Olympic Champion in weightlifting. if healthy he was 90% guaranteed the gold medal. it still hurts thinking about how he failed to qualify because of those stupid rules :cry: despite all the hard work.

I can answer to the second question: for me probably handball mens team - but they did not even get into the qualifier.

Sometimes the problem is not that there is no funding for a given sport, but there is too much of it. IMO this is one of the problems in our handball for a number of years - lot of money with not efficient use of it and no development in crucial areas (coach development for instance) despite the huge amount of €€€€ spent.

The one you unexpected is the one hurt us most at home.

      This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.

      Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).

      Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.

      People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.

      yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots
