What is point that Japanese team is playing this tournament? As in men's qualifers we are playing against them in playoffs and once again we are not favourites, last time when we had mens team in Olympics were in Sydney and women's team probably in Moscow...

Getting matches. The tournament isn’t purely an Olympic qualifier, it’s also used as an opportunity for the national teams to play and gain ranking points.

And what if Japan somehow will win this tournament and will qualify to Olympic qualifiers? They still will play there or an team will replace them, as they are already qualified not only as host nation but also as a winner of Asian Games?

If Japan finishes in top two here, their spot in Qualifiers will be given to next highest ranked nation not already qualified to Olympics or qualifiers

Goes to the world ranking. Same thing happens if Scotland or Wales finishes in the top 2, btw.

A very sad and shameful situation for the Mexican women playing at Hiroshima... the Mexican sport authorities had not paid their hotel yet, so they were in risk of being thrown out; at the last moment a fan or acquaintance of the team tagged Guillermo Del Toro on Twitter so he could use his followers to make the affair of general knowledge to the press, since our current government and in concrete, the director of the Sports Commission (a former Olympic medalist and world champion herself :redcard:) have tried to supress any recent criticism; he answered almost immediately, which in turn made the authorities make the late payment, to their own embarrasement.

wow Canada destroyed Italy 7-0 :yikes:

 

They have been superb during this tournament, even tied Spain and topped the group.

 

Too bad despite this they are certain to get one of England, Germany or NZ in the play-offs. I think however with this level they have a legitimate chance to get a silver at the pan american games.

 

 

Italy is sure to play the play-offs as well, this loss doesn't change much for them.

Hopefully New Zealand, I think that would be the best case scenario (they tied at the 2018 CWG)

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
