Pre-Olympic Qualification Tournament is underway in Mixed Doubles. There’s already been some fascinating results.

:LAT:DEN:TUR have all advanced to the pre-qualification finals in Mixed Doubles. :KAZ:AUT:TPE:POR:BLR:BRA will play for the right to challenge those three for entry into the Olympic Qualification Tournament

:AUS and :USA both won their pools and are each one game away from the Olympics.

 

Two very different stories here - :AUS is trying to make it's Olympic debut in Curling while :USA is trying to keep it's streak of participating in every Curling event since the sport was re-introduced in 1998 alive. :CAN is the only other country with that distinction.

 

:KOR and :FIN qualified for the semi-finals from pool B - South Korea is in Australia's bracket while Finland is in USA's bracket. In pool A :ROC, :DEN, :GER and :HUN are still fighting for the two remaining semi-final spots. :DEN - :HUN play later this afternoon in what is a de-facto quarterfinal match.

The playoffs for the final two spots are set.

 

The first spot will be contested between :AUS and the winner of the :KOR / :HUN semi-final.

The second spot will be contested between :USA and the winner of the :ROC / :FIN semi-final.

:KOR beat :HUN in the first semi-final and :ROC beat :FIN in the second semi-final.

 

And just in, the result of the first final: :AUS has qualified for the Olympics in curling for the first time ever, thanks to a 6-5 win over :KOR. Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt went an impressive 7-0 all tournament and will now go to the Olympics. If :CAN John Morris doesn't win the Canadian mixed doubles Olympic trials he will go to the Olympics as a coach for Australia.

:USA beats :ROC for the final spot. Congrats to :AUS and :USA for both going undefeated against a strong field.

 

Final mixed doubles field:

:CHN:GBR:NOR:SWE:CAN:ITA:SUI:CZE:AUS:USA

 

Special congrats in order to :CZE and :AUS who are making their Olympic debut in curling.

Congrats to :AUS for making it in the doubles curling.  Maybe all the other curling teams will suddenly fall down on the final stone and Australia will sneak in for the win!

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling. In 2024, Ukraine only won 1 silver medal at the Paris Olympics? So even domination in Europe doesn't guarantee even 1 gold medal at the Olympics. Although, of course, if Italy for example, can't even win 1 bronze medal at the European Championships, then there's no point in even going to the World Championships...
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.
