Argentina protested and looks like Brazil supported that.

 

 

 

EDIT: A decision is yet to be made

Though it’s not saying much at all, Badminton is by far the Falklands best sport. They haven’t faired well at the Commonwealth Games, but they have shown they’re willing to devote what resources they have into the sport. I hope to see a mildly competitive player (at least at the Commonwealth level) come out of there some day.

Falklands will participate, but they’ve been told they’ll have to leave the playing surface when certain “VIPs” arrive. BWF have made it very clear that they support the Falklands on this matter.

Not surprised, most sport federations have the stance of allowing all eligible member federations to participate. Brazil isn't going to risk expulsion for Argentina, who isn't even participating.

A big tournament in the surroundings make you read articles. I've come across this suspension of Seo Seung Jae.
That could have huge implications for XD Olympic qualification for European pairs.

Has there been any update since then? Going independent?

 

The suspension of Seo Seung Jae has been postponed from the end of Olympics to the end of 2020. The decision is made by Korean federation. The reason is for the sake of his innocent partners. Basically this issue is solved in a perfunctory way.

Head coach Ahn Jae Chang allegedly was the one who forced Seo to sign contract with Incheon, the atmosphere in the national team will be different

    • Looks like also two 1994 world champions, pair skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who have been coaches in the US for years.
    • But there is zero indication, at all. Tarjei has been hinting on retirement for years, JTB has always made it clear he didn't want to continue after Cortina and simply moved it up a year, and Riiber has a disease.
    • This does not at all seem related, as Crohn's disease is given as the - understandable - reason. Also might explain why he hasn't been that dominant lately.   Same for the Boe brothers, that feels entirely different than the Braathen thing.
    • Just notice that  Usman Khawaja scored 232 runs off 352 balls in a single innings in the Test match against Sri Lanka.  Two other Australian players have already scored centuries, and the Aussi are 591/5. Massive batting performance In other news, Steven Smith scored 10k runs in his Test career.

    • well, here you have it.   this time is extra especial because this happened at the same night as champion league matches of two main Portuguese football clubs, so was not expecting this cover at all.         and they even made it to the national general newspapers:    
    • Yesterday results:  VS  33-21,  team continued their unbeaten record (35 game without losing in WCh since 2017) the game started for  and score reached 10-3 after 15 min, better performance from  team led to closing the gap to 15-12 by half time, the 2nd half had a margin favor for  till minute 40 when the Danish team start scoring 8 consecutive goals without response, 12 minutes until Brazil scored again, during that blackout time  GK Martins did really well but his team mates were not able to break the great wall of Nielsen. hard luck for  and wish they continue such great performance in next tournaments.     VS  31-30, the most improved and best performer so far  (except  for sure) had a great night yesterday. to get the summary of the game,  were playing  GK Wolff who made 21 saves in the game !! 21 !!! I believe at least 17-18 of them were one on one. on the other hand both  GKs did well saving 12 shots (Marques saved 7 while Capdeville saved 5). the game  started with  leading till end of first hal 13-9 ..  in second half ..ah ..sorry ..I will say Wolff not   ...Wolff in 2nd half managed to close the gap and even lead by 2 goals, but Portela and Francisco Costa were able to finish the time draw 26-26. the extra time started with  heading again thanks to :Francisco Costa and  Martim Costa .. Knorr and Zerbe managed to draw for the team Wolff ... but 4 seconds before the end Martim Costa scored the golden goal to secure the first ever  semifinal spot in a well deserved game with huge frustration from Wolff against his team mates.   in 2019  U21 team finished 4th in WCh ( finished 3rd in the same tournament) in the same year  U 19 team finished 4th too in Wch ( won that tournament) now  in the semi final with amazing performance and mix of mostly young players and few experienced.   Semi Final Games:   30th of Jan    VS   31st of Jan    VS        
    • I know that. I was just wondering if any users on here have been keeping track of quotas since FIS likely won't make the qualification points list public until spring at the earliest.    And judging by the lack of replies on here, it would seem like the answer is no unsurprisingly 
    • At this rate, we'll be getting a retirement announcement from Klæbo by the end of next week.
    • Yeah, there is a problem with sponsors or something like this.   I remember when Lucas changed nationality for Brazil thanks his brazilian mom it was very commented here.
