dcro 10,190 Posted May 20, 2016 Author #51 Share Posted May 20, 2016 This is how Cayman sailor found out that she is going to Rio. Quote "I’m still taking it in. It still feels really surreal," Allan says. Studying for A-Levels, graduating and perhaps going to college all seem like realistic goals for a 17-year old, but for sailor Florence Allan, those goals are small compared to her recent invitation to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. "I was studying at home for an exam I had yesterday [May 18] afternoon. My dad came in and told me the news, while I was preparing for an exam!" Allan says, "A real mix of emotions!!" #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm crossing fingers for Australia to reject their spot in either men's or men's doubles, so Liño Muñoz can qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,190 Posted May 24, 2016 Author #55 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Four wild cards in wrestling have been announced.

dcro 10,190 Posted May 24, 2016 Author #56 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Honduras' selection for a wild card athlete in wrestling is very questionable. They chose a girl who only competed at the American QT, and there she got crushed in her first match. Meanwhile, Kevin Mejia, who won Honduras' only medal at 2015 Pan Ams, and who reached the qurterfinals at the final OQT doesn't get selected... This could easily be a case of corruption in Honduras Wrestling Federation. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
