Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson beat top ranked Brazilians Ana Patricia and Duda in straight sets to move to the semis in Doha !! 

Good for them but hardly surprising given how much Duda/AP struggled to teams levels below them in prior games.

Mel/Brandie through to the gold medal match at the Doha Elite 16, defeating Latvia 2-1! (21-17, 20-22, 15-12)

 

They were 10-15 down in set one, and 2-6 down in set three but still managed to turn it around!

Mel/Brandie lose the gold medal match 2-0 (21-18, 21-18) at the Doha Elite 16 to Brazil’s Barbora/Carol. Wasn’t able to watch it as the power went out a couple hours before:facepalm:(due to extremely windy conditions)

Heather Bansley/Sophie Bukovec through to the semifinals at the Recife Challenge! Sam Schachter/Dan Dearing bow out in the quarterfinals, getting demolished by a Cuban team that I thought they had a solid chance at defeating. Both finishes should be good enough to add useful points towards their Olympic Ranking. 
 

For Dearing/Schachter it’s a 5th useable finish, while for Bansley/Bukovec it’s a 2nd.

Heather Bansley/Sophie Bukovec with a quarterfinal finish at the Saquarema Challenge. Very disappointing week for Sam Schachter/Dan Dearing, losing both of their pool play matches.

Bronze for Sophie Bukovec/Heather Bansley at the Guadalajara Challenge! Lost an extremely tight match to Swiss #3 Bobner/Verge Depre in the semifinals (they’re still a really good team, so this was far from a bad result) with the third set going to overtime, and eventually finishing 20-18 in favor of them. Rebounded in the bronze medal match however, defeating Ittlinger/Borger 2-0 and a dominant second set (21-14) at that.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
