Not the worst draw possible for the Netherlands. We played a close game versus China at the world championship, if we can upset them this time, there is hope. Chances are still super slim though.

 

In the other two pools it'll be interesting whether there's any home advantage. Otherwise I'd say Brazil, Turkey, Italy and the USA are the favorites.

Well, I think it is the worst possible draw: against the world champion and against China: there's no chance at all. We only would have a chance if we could play in Japan or in Poland. For me the favourites: China/Serbia - Brazil/Japan - Poland/Italy.

I agree the other hosts would have been slightly easier, but we did draw the easiest out of USA/Turkey/Dominican Republic. I could see Turkey and USA beating the two host countries.

not many, but it's not impossible, especially if Italy will play without Egonu and/or Antropova and USA will prove once again inconsistent outside the major tournaments, as often happened in the past.

No real expectations here from a Canadian perspective, Our best shot at qualification is if Gray is fully healthy and competing (got injured at NORCECA Championships, unsure if it's serious though). We'll most likely have to beat at least two (probably more) of Serbia, host China, the Dominican Republic, and the Netherlands, which will be tough but doable with the momentum our NT has been gaining. 

 

Best case scenario (outside of qualifying directly) for us would be hoping that the Netherlands or the Dominican Republic don't qualify (preferably both, we're about 40 points behind them for the final two World Rankings quotas, assuming six of the top eight qualify through the OQT), and defeating all of the other mediocre teams (Czech Republic, Ukraine, Mexico) along with one (or two) of Dominican Republic/Netherlands.

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
