So this edition has only become a bigger mess since the last update I posted. 
 

:QUE will skip the event entirely: https://www.francsjeux.com/breves/quebec-is-not-coming

 

:WLL will only send artists, no athletes: https://www.francsjeux.com/breves/wallonia-brussels-wont-be-sending-athletes

 

:RWA is likely boycotting for political reasons, though I don’t believe that’s officially been confirmed…

 

The table tennis venue will likely not be ready for the event, but there might be a backup venue available: https://www.francsjeux.com/breves/plan-b-for-table-tennis

 

It would seem, as an outside observer, that this gamble by the CIJF has not paid off.

Not a big cycling nation tbf.  :archery:

:QUE:FRA:WLL withdrawing might actually make the race more interesting, or at least some curious results.

Must be incomplete, since no athletes from the home country are mentioned.....

I definitely think it’s incomplete. Honestly, it’s hard to know who’s attending now given all the withdrawals over safety and venue preparedness concerns.

    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else     
    • if you can find one of them being able to receive the ball, it's definitely an option worth to be explored by the coaching staff

    • Article about one of the shadiest stories in athletics history, the story of teen phenomenon Mary Cain and her relationship with Albert Salazar and the whole Nike setup.  Happy ending - like several other athletes who never quite made the transition from teen success to adult, Mary is now on the way to being a medical Doctor.     ‘Like cutting the head off a hydra’: how Mary Cain exposed Nike’s disgraced coaching team | Athletics | The Guardian
    • Had a very strange career. Absolutely looked like the Crown Prince when Bolt was King, but after Bolt retired his only medals were in relays, nothing at all solo.  Drug rumours did not help.
