Lesotho hosted African championships this weekend, and, had the African Olympic qualification been held this year instead of last year then Lesotho would have qualified in men's race. What a pitty.

if we organised olympics instead of volleyball WC we would be olympic champion , ifs in sport are not the good sign

That's a bit of a stretch but ok.

, for many years as Poles we were champs of IF in sport , so there was a bit of autoirony. Luckily it seems those times are over (still Rio has to verify it)

Sagan won today some points for the ranking, so the first step is done - he is now eligible to start in OG cross-country race. now the thing is, we SVK have to win 2 quotas for Rio if we will, we´ll ask for a wild card for him (he already won a quota in road race so it wouldn´t be a problem) to see him competing also in MTB.
