Magdalena Rybáriková has a serious problems with her right wrist, most likely she will need a surgery, she will miss the fedcup match against Canada and what is very weird, also a chance to qualify and finally play her first olympics :( she missed both previous games because of injury right before Beijing and London, definitely the olympics are cursed for her

well, this was a pretty painfull watching and very bad performance from Domi. This win was only thanks to the umpire and her help with this ball in the last game. kudos to Witthoeft, It´s first time that I´ve seen her playing, she was like a wall, returning every thing. very solid perf of her

Lorenzi lose vs the #200 of the ranking :facepalm:

 

Tommy Paul is still low ranked, but truth to be talked, he is very talented and I expected him to put up a good fight and even win. Certainly, I did not expect such scoreline, which suggests comfortable win for Paul (born in 1997). Tommy Paul is current Roland Garros junior champion.

So, in this case, ranking means nothing. ;)

 

This is also first ATP main draw win for Paul.

 

And what is also exciting for me - he is playing Hyeon Chung in second round! I hope this one will be streamed, I have to watch it. Early prediction - Paul to win that one too. Chung is not good claycourter at the moment.

Do you think this one deserves disqualification? :wall: 

 

In my opinion this didn't look intentionally at all. It is correct that players must calm down, but this looks like an overreaction from Junaid or Skupski, whoever that was...

 

Yes, Kowalczyk and Majchrowicz were disqualified because of the headshot.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
