We could be banking on a permanent change to rugby 9s from Brisbane 2032, a sport we're very successful in. 

Very doubtful that would happen, sevens is far more popular than nines which is mostly played in Oceania.

If it does well in Brisbane I wouldn't be surprised if it says for the one after in 2036, especially if we're hosting.

Sevens also has a lot going for it logistics wise (fewer quotas, compact schedule, etc.)

I haven’t even heard rumors about Rugby 9s being considered for Brisbane 2032. Any articles you can link to so I can learn more?

Direct quote from wiki:

 

"In July 2021, International Rugby League (IRL) chair Troy Grant stated that pursuing rugby league for Queensland 2032 was a "priority" for the organisation, with a particular focus on rugby league nines for the Olympics and wheelchair rugby league for the Paralympics.[29] Queensland has a popular rugby league fanbase.[30"

Ah, it’s a federation effort. They’ll be joining a crowded field hopefuls.
 

Rugby League is governed by a different IF than rugby sevens, so it’s feasible both could be on the program, but that seems highly unlikely given the similarities between the pair, especially in consideration of logistical requirements.

 

Brisbane 2032 is still a ways out, but it’s tough to see 9s being added to the program at present (in my opinion).

The quarterfinals are now set for the Canada Sevens held in Vancouver.

 

New Zealand, Australia and the United States could potentially qualify to the Olympics by the end of this event. New Zealand just needs to avoid Great Britain or Fiji finishing four points ahead of them while Australia/United States can qualify if they get nine more points than Great Britain and Fiji

Semifinals for the Canada Sevens

 

:AUS v :USA

:FRA v :NZL

 

 

:NZL is in the Olympics. :AUS :USA can join them if they win the title and the winner of :GBR :FIJ finishes 6th.

United States and Australia qualify for the 2024 Olympics :yes:USA:AUS

 

Fight for that fourth and final quota between Ireland, Great Britain and Fiji is going to be exciting.
 

@JoshMartini007 maybe you can help provide a list of scenarios for each of the following (Ireland, Great Britain, Fiji) securing Olympic qualification?

Canada has been mathematically eliminated since the end of the last event. I'll give the scenarios at the end of this event. Realistically speaking, Fiji/Great Britain need to cut into Ireland's lead this tournament to have a chance. A semi-final appearance will help quite a bit, but so would a 5th place finish if Ireland finishes 8th again.

    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
