Does anyone have an update on lvl? Olympics are in less than three weeks lol

Tomorrow. French Canadian media are speculating good news.
Was supposed to be today but got delayed to tomorrow, can only imagine why, but I'd suspect the LVL situation.

Oh really where did you find this out?

This says it was supposed to be today: https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/jeux-olympiques/2021-07-05/laurence-vincent-lapointe-sera-fixee-mardi.php

 

and this (published after the first) says Wednesday: https://www.msn.com/fr-ca/actualites/région de trois-rivières/laurence-vincent-lapointe-sera-fixée-mercredi/ar-AALNEx6

 

As for the speculation, I read it again, I don't speak and was using translator, and it doesn't seem so. I originally read this translated line "

If Canada won after months of waiting, everything indicates that this place in C-2 will also give access to C-1 to Vincent Lapointe." as her getting a spot, but I think it now means she can race the c1 if given a quota in c2.

Personne ne veut vendre la mèche, mais tout indique que c’est le scénario qui sera présenté à la presse mercredi. À tout le moins, les gens sondés dans le milieu lundi étaient tous très optimistes pour [elle].

 

My quick and dirty translation:
 

Nobody wants to talk about it on the record, but everything indicates that this scenario [LVL competing in C-1 and C2] will be announced to the press on Wednesday. In any case, insiders we spoke to on Monday appeared to be optimistic [for LVL’s chances].

I also messaged her on Facebook and she saw the message and didn't reply. You'd think if it was a no she would say something...

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
