It's just a possibility, but host federation seems to be sharing some basic info in their FB page.

 

So far they have confirmed the arrival of some delegations today, as well as the arrival of the rest tomorrow. Let's hope they also share the draws.

:USA and :CAN (who would have been the 4th team) have withdrawn from the women's soccer tournament, for obvious reasons (to prepare for the World Cup). :MEX and :CRC received the reallocations, the first team sport for the latter.

Oh come on, the US could have at least sent one of our U16 development squads and won gold :facepalm:. No offense to other nations, were just better than most at women’s soccer (oh yeah I said soccer). Happy that Costa Rica benefits though.

Yea that's why a college team was successful in 2007

Looks like there may be a number of reallocations in eventing. Barbados has nobody qualified. Monique Archer attempted to get MER last month, but that ended with three refusals and elimination. Other two members from last year's team haven't even tried to get it so far.

 

Costa Rica also has nobody. Honduras has only one. Peru has two (so far).

I think the problem is that for Eventing and Dressage 10 full teams is just too many, since those disciplines aren't that developed. I guess they should have awarded 8 team spots and 10 additional individuals in each one of these disciplines.

Dressage is about right I think. There shouldn't be any unused spots, except maybe with Peru. But since equestrian used to be basically non-existent there, Peru is doing a very fine job.

 

As for eventing, at least they use 3* technical difficulty level, unlike the Asian Games (and other regional games) which use 2* format. Olympics and World championships are held at 4*/5* level, so 2* is indeed quite meaningless.

    • This is the most incompatible with my sleeping schedule tennis event ever but I will still watch it.  I've seen a few qualifying games but time to step up my tennis watching with the main draw. 
    • Discovery plus is my favourite way to stream sports aside from official streams on YouTube so I'm more than happy with this.
    • Chanatip Sonkham, who won bronze in taekwondo at the 2012 Olympics, will be competing for Thailand in the mixed doubles curling event.
    • Lots of viewing options happily.   Easy option if you have it - everything is on Discovery Plus   Free To Air option - They have lots of their own free streaming on FISU.TV.   Go to FISU.TV on your browser Create a username/password Once that is done, you can stream from your PC Or you can download the app on all services - Ipad, Android, Amazon, Roku Enjoy!
    • Draws are now out: https://ausopen.com/draws   As usual, some intriguing first round matchups.   ‪Osaka/Garcia and Gauff/Kenin are the main ones that stand out on the women’s side, while for the men it’s Hurkacz/Griekspoor, Dimitrov/Fognini and Monfils/Mpetshi Perricard, but there’s so many quality matchups that it’s tough to only pick a couple. I’m interested to see who Fonseca draws as a Q, that’ll be a matchup players want to avoid. 
    • Big Air WC Klagenfurt | Klagenfurt, Austria   Men Gold-  Taiga Hasegawa (179.75) Silver-  Ian Matteoli (175.25) Bronze-  Oyvind Kirkhuis (172.00)   Women Gold-  Mia Brookes (184.25) Silver-  Mari Fukada (182.25) Bronze-  Momo Suzuki (166.75)   Full Results
    • Parallel Slalom WC Davos | Davos, Switzerland   Men Gold-  Arvid Auner  Silver-  Dario Caviezel Bronze-  Fabian Obmann   Women Gold-  Miki Tsubaki Silver-  Michelle Dekker Bronze-  Flurina Neva Baetschi   Tsubaki on a tear to start the season with 6, yes 6, podiums in her first 7 races (and she was 4th in the non-podium one)    Flurina Neva Baetschi also with her first career WC podium in front of her home crowd! What a time to do it!   Full Results
    • Big Air WC Klagenfurt | Klagenfurt, Austria   Women Gold-  Luca Harrington (182.60) Silver-  Timothe Sivignon (180.40) Bronze-  Matej Svancer (175.40)   Women Gold-  Liu Mengting (170.60) Gold-  Flora Tabanelli (170.20) Bronze-  Muriel Mohr (166.20)   Interesting to see how quickly Mohr and Tabanelli are progressing through to the senior ranks, they’ve now been on a couple of podiums so far this season.    Full Results   Side note: Sorry guys for the lack of updates, this has been a really busy time of my life and I didn’t have time to be updating stuff on Totallympics. Since there’s a lot for me to catch up on, I’ll probably do it all over the next couple of days. 
    • I forgot this was going on, as long as I find a place for streaming I’ll definitely be watching
