There's a lot of hurdles in India and to a lesser extent the Caribbean nations. Yes they will, July is rainy season in India so we travel to countries like West Indies (non profitable tour), Ireland or England (alternate year). So there's nothing much that happens in this month rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 953 Posted October 11, 2023 #472 Share Posted October 11, 2023 This should come as a serious boost to country like Thailand which has one of the best women's team outside of commonwealth. More funding could mean better performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially yes, but all the rumors expect to reinstate Boxing alongside with Weightlifting and even Modern Pentathlon has a great chance to remain in the program too, we will know for sure during the IOC session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another plenty of sports in which Slovakia will again not qualify That's my same thought about Greece I think "we won't qualify in any of these so I do not care" I will say it's sad that we didn't really have the option to choose to add "sports" in 2004 as the host nation, we could have swept the podium in backgammon for example stepansevs, El Analyzer and Josh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
