Spain doesn’t recognize Puerto Rico as a country either and they have no problems letting them compete under their own flag.

 

Puerto Rico is in the same situation as Hong Kong and co...there are no political controversies around them, it's just a different status recognized by political and sports authorities...

Kosovo is a totally different question (and I wouldn't compare that even to the most recent attempt of the Catalan people to part ways from the rest of Spain, since Kosovo is just part of the ancient Serbian territory -it goes back to Alexander the Great Macedonian Empire and then to the Roman Empire, with the Turkish domination of that being only a 500-year long but marginal part of the story- stripped from the Serbian State thanks to a war that only the USA and Germany wanted, despite having the "umbrella" of those bunch of *** of the UN)...

Antunovic just broke Florentin's nose here...I hope she doesn't get a DQ...

 

I don't know the exact rule here but maybe she deserved a DQ, she was lucky they just gave her a Hansoku Chui, you are not supposed to break someone's nose in this sport !! :d

 

btw thanks a lot for the link

the Italian commentators (who are Chiara Soldi and I think Davide Benetello, both former Karate players -I'm sure you know Benetello, as he won a lot of global medals in the past) said that there were 3 options: if Florentin wasn't able to continue, option one was the DSQ for the Swedish girl for the excessive use of strenght, but they could also DSQ the French girl because she could have been considered guilty of not protecting herself well enough and thus leading the opponent to hit her hard...

the 3rd option, that was the one they eventually adopted was to let the bout continue giving the Swedish girl just a "normal" warning for not controlling her hit well enough (option available only if Florentin was able to continue, which was the case)...

 

p.s. my new keyboard sucks! :facepalm:

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
