I wasn't really paying attention to qualifying yet.   What's the status of Russia and Belarus ? I know IOC wants them to participate but are they in any qualifications events in any sports ? 

Obviusly, if IOC decides to include them, Russia and Belarus will partecipate at qualifyng tournaments. But yes, today we would have some russian qualificated: tennis, BMX freestyle, judo, boxing are sports- and rankings - with russians.

Fencing have reinstated them, too (quali were supposed to start in April, but so far the first tournaments have been cancelled because of that possible return of Russians and Belarussians).

 

World Athletics instead has just confirmed earlier Today that Russians and Belarussians will be denied any international competition entry until the war goes on.

We're getting to the point where it'll be pointless to let the Russians and Belarusians to compete as they'll hardly be able to participate in anything. The impact, in terms of results, that their teams will have on the games will be massive outweighed by the backlash and reception they'll receive from people prior to and while the games are going on.

IOC Executive Board will meet Tuesday-Thursday this week. They are expected to address the fallout from the invasion of Ukraine on Tuesday. Wednesday will be more about Paris 2024, IFs, 2030 Winter Olympics, etc. Thursday is a little sparse, but dedicated to items around Agenda 2020+5. There will be a press conference each day. I’d imagine those can be followed on the IOC Media YouTube Channel as always.

News leaking out from the IOC meeting.

If they only ban them in team sports, that would be quite strange in individual sports where there are classic team events. Artistic Gymnastics and Fencing has team events that are as important as individual events, if not more. The same can be said about Artistic Swimming and Rhythmic Gymnastics. Not to mention Canoe Sprint and Rowing. Or the relays in Swimming and Athletics.

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
