So whilst rounders isn't on the Olympic program for Paris, it is virtually certain to be back in for LA in 2028 - bye-bye breaking!! - and this could actually be one of the few team sports where :GBR secure a quota having come so close to getting to Tokyo. 

 

In the first round of matches at the World Cup Group A, :GBR, ranked 16th in the world defeated world number 9 :AUS 2-0 for the only upset in the first round of matches. 

 

In other matches in the group, :USA were 5-0 winners against :TPE and :IRL won 7-0 against :BOT

I think :GBR are about to put major dent in the hopes of :TPE to make next year's finals. They win 2-0 to inflict a second defeat of the group on :TPE 

 

:TPE are world number 3 so this would be a big upset.

A third shutout on the bounce for :GBR as they beat :IRL 7-0. The Irish girls had a bit of mare pitching in the 3rd innings and to give up all 7 runs and ended up falling foul of the Run Ahead Rule so the game ended after 5 innings.

 

This guarantees :GBR a top 2 spot in group A although they still have to take on Botswana and USA tomorrow. Botswana should be a straightforward win but they'd love to get the win against the world number 1s as well.

No chance that they're beating the USA.

    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".     
    • Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds
    • From my experience it is better to go by what they intended rather than what was written. The point being is that should the United States be in a position to take the Pan American quota, the quota will be reallocated to the world qualifiers.   It can be a bit frustrating, but these documents aren't exactly written to define what happens in every scenario, even though they should. If someone from the IOC/sport federations are here, I'd love to proof read your documents . 
    • Team Casper is headed to Milan-Cortina!!   Lots of misses by China throughout the match, some of which were just bad luck.  Thrilled for Danny and company.  Glad they don't have to play another game
