Great start for our girls with a 14-12 win over Hungary. Giannopoulou was the unlikely hero with 4 goals, she is someone who we normally don't even expect to play much.

 

We also won 25-8 today against Croatia which was expected.

 

As the Netherlands and Spain are already qualified, it is between :GRE :ITA :HUN for the one Olympic ticket here (and the other two will have a chance at next month's World Championships).

 

Also I want to mention that 35 yo Alexandra Asimaki is in our team, she is back after retiring in 2020, having a baby, becoming a coach, then becoming a player again and now she is here. Her inclusion in our team was important since Maria Myriokefalitaki got injured and can't compete.

16 years later. After a lot of pain and suffering especially in the last 12 years. This means so much to the girls of this team and also the girls of previous teams who never got the chance to go to t

:GBR women finish the preliminary round with victory over :GER (if only the basketball team had managed the same result back in the summer!:() to top their table. Looks like they will be up against :ISR tomorrow for a place in the quarter-finals. 

 

Israel haven't had a great tournament so the Brits will be optimistic of pulling off the win - unfortunately they'd then be up against either :NED or :GRE so the journey is likely to end there, but if they can get into the QF they qualify for the 2026 European Champs and would give them a chance of qualifying for Doha World Champs.

now, after today's comfortable win by :ESP over :ITA, the Olympic qualification is basically a direct match-up between :HUN and :GRE

 

and given what I saw earlier today, I'd say :ITA don't stand a chance

 

on the other side of the table draw, :GRE are the big favourite to reach at least a chance of direct playoff-match once again against :HUN (if both end up in the BMM -or, more unlikely, in the GMM)

sorry, i had to edit my previous post as I wrongly thought about 2 quota places, but it's actually only one in this tournament :facepalm:

 

p.s. in any case, :ITA still don't stand a chance to earn it :cry:

Brilliant from :GBR, edging out :ISR 13-14 in the playoff. Genuinely think we have a cracking chance at qualifying for the Worlds next year, may only have to beat someone like :CRO or :FRA to do so.

For 'next year' do you mean Doha or do you think they'll need to wait until 2025 in Kallang?

Doha (still think I'm in 2023), similarly to Israel Croatia haven't looked very good this tournament so the opportunity is there if we can take it. Kallang and Budapest in 2027 are more realistic targets though.

Hi all - can someone clarify how the Paris 2024 quotas work on the Women's side?

Watched the GB women pull off a great win yday and wondering if a 5th place finish here (behind Spain and Netherlands) would be enough to gain a spot at Paris? or can the qualification only be achieved from results at Doha?

      It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.

      The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.

      It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?

      More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.

      I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.

      Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
