Elise Mertens confirmed two weeks ago she won't compete in the Olympics in this interview: https://www.rtl.be/sport/tous-les-sports/tennis/elise-mertens-pense-aux-jeux-mais-ceux-de-los-angeles-si-je-joue-encore-oui/2024-05-25/article/672566

Why is it Wozniacki not Kerber for the legacy spot?

I assume that Kerber will use her protected ranking, so she is qualified anyway.

Yeah, I knew it.

 

But I start to be used. Triathlon 3 athletes and all first under the line, MTB Sagan failed second time in a row, Artistic Gymnastics, Canoe Sprint both we will miss for the first time since independence and now we can add Tennis to that as well, Slovaks played at every Olympics since the entrance of Tennis at the Olympics in 1988, obviously it had to stop one day... it is just statistical Mathematical necessity..

 

Oh well, in LA we will be back with current junior Renáta Jamrichová, I am not worried about

Well this doesn't take into account the players using protected rankings, but also :BEL Mertens will not play and probably not :ROU Cirstea either. Also probably some girls will get injured between now and Paris and withdraw.

It's strange because she actually had a decent shot at a medal in mixed doubles (all of the 16 teams will have chances). It's crazy to me that athletes are able to qualify for the Olympics and choose not to go, but clearly not everyone has the same priorities. I guess that's why I'm here on a website about the Olympics and people like Elise Mertens are not :lol:

For tennis players, there isn't much of an upside in competing at the Olympics. No prize money, no ranking points, not a prestigious title and you risk injury. Representing your nation is pretty much all it has going for it, though to be fair that alone is quite the draw.

Yes but for someone like her being one of the best doubles players in the world, she would have some chances for a medal!

 

Also it's Mertens, she plays (or at least used to) like every week in every tournament possible anyways :p

This story came out todayhttps://olympics.com/en/news/paris-2024-olympics-indian-tennis-ranking-quotas-sumit-nagal-rohan-bopanna which for Nagal  does not make much sense to me.

Sumit Nagal takes the last qualifying place in Men's Singles.

    • They do have the by far best current Dutch NHL player though  
    • Took a couple of videos, but completely forgot to take even a single picture and the file size of the videos are too big for Totallympics so I had to find a site to upload it to   https://streamable.com/ga23lv   Vibes at the game were good, place was loud, and I downed a $6 poutine from Costco before the game. Unfortunately, the game didn’t go so well, it took us a solid 45 minutes to actually start playing hockey besides some bursts here and there, and after coming back from down 1-3 we gave up the OT goal less than a minute in (Typical Canucks fashion), but  Lankinen stole us a point, they had so many solid opportunities on him and we had no business staying close.    Really mediocre start to the season for the Canucks so far, even with 11 points in 8 games, a lot of players not showing up (Petey, Soucy, Myers, Hög, Miller, DeBrusk, although for DeBrusk he’s been known to have a streaky game) and our power play and overtime have been fucking dogshit (power play has been like this for years). Shoutout to Garland, Hughes, Sherwood and Lankinen though they’ve been incredible so far 
    • Hi I see this now. When is the draw? What do you need me to do? 
    • North Korea and the US played the first semifinal at the U17 World Cup last night:      
    • Happy New York Yankees elimination day to those who celebrate!   
    • Sorry, I was at work. Starting tomorrow thru Sunday is busy busy days here with Halloween, All Saints Day, Día de Muertos, so I might no be around the whole weekend. Good thing the final got postponed.
    • Announcement   It is with regret that I have to postpone the final till at least 10th November. This is not a fixed date and is likely to be moved to the following week. The delay is due to jurors not having voted yet and preparations on the final weekend still not having been completed. The draw is still set to take place tomorrow but there is chance this could be moved day by day until preparations are complete.    With this latest announcement @Gianlu33 and @LDOG if you would like to rejoin the contest with this recent change then you are more than welcome to do so. 
    • While we're waiting, let me casually drop the music from the two countries I mentioned earlier. I wasn't sure if Mongolia has ever been featured in a festival of music segment, but East Timor / Timor Leste never has, plus I've been watching their English-language TV stations lately, hence the choice for both countries   Anyway, here's       And     I haven't decided on two other countries, but I'll get back to you on that
    • Haven't done this in a while.   Count me in, I'm game.
    • I just need you to pick 2 teams from each of my tables once I've set them up, should be ready to go in 15 minutes (taking longer than I thought) and hopefully by then more people will volunteer so that we can get things moving quickly.
