Fernandez defeats  Shnaider 6-7 (7), 6-3, 6-3 in the round of 64 at the Wuhan Open!    Best win for Canadian tennis in at least a month I would think?

Happy to see  bag 2 medals, possibly the best ever results.

I read the story a few months ago on an Italian rhythmic gymnastics blog, it all seems paradoxical to me.   Apparently everything is the fault of her mother, who if I understand correctly is also her manager. Among other things, she is supposed to go with the Armenian national team, but her father says nothing is decided yet.   I feel very sorry for Elvira, victim of a situation that is not under her control and which she will pay dearly for, since (rightly) the Bulgarian committee has forbidden her to use leotards, music and exercises. By the way, not even her coach knew anything, she is devastated

Any idea if Samaneh Beyrami will be going or are names not mentioned yet? I mean, if they've registered for CC and they're sending a woman, it can't realistically be anyone else, but still. She's super friendly so always cheering for her  

Well, even winning futsal would truly mean the Church of Maradona is real voodoo

Congratulations Brazil for another world champion trophy, well deserved.

Historic Medal for     and  both very close to winning a medal as well.  India 5th Madagascar 7th (But if won the repechage contest would of won 3rd since Japanese withdrew in match for bronze)      Olympians at the Junior Worlds:   Michel Augusto R16  Serdar Rahimov R32  Binta Ndiya R64 (went up division)   Maysa Pardayeva R64  Savita Russo 2nd  Aina Laura Madrasoanaivo Razafy 7th    

no idea. I just repeated what I read  but I won't be surprised if they make a mistake like this. the officials here are usually terrible in reading the rules. if I remember correctly they sent an Ice hockey team to the Games back in 2017 but most of the players were ineligible to play per IIHF rules and they played some friendlies instead    btw there is a federation, but not an ISU member. Ice Skating (which has a very very limited activity here) was a part of Skating (roller sports) federation but now moved to Skiing federation which officially changed its name to Skiing and Winter Sports Federation.
