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?

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.

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

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

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
