Breaking- Top ranked B-Boy and B-Girl qualify for Paris. (B-Boy Victor is ineligible for a quota, as he already qualified through the Breaking World Championships)

Not only Victor, but any athlete from USA is ineligible at men's side.

 

There's a rule that every country only can get its second quota through OQS.

Pretty significant delegation increase for :ESA

 

:BER:BOL shrinking by a few, which I feel is more common amongst the “smaller” NOCs this cycle.

A lot of quota declines in equestrian, with :BER:TTO and :BAH no longer represented. 

Are budget problems really that widespread at the moment, or are there other factors? @dcro( tagging you in case there’s extracurricular drama here)

I suspect budget, but :BAH competed at the CAC games, so why not Santiago ?

She finished towards the back of the pack, so maybe cost-benefit (medal possibly) analysis.

Both Bermudan and Trinidadian riders who qualified are Europe based so likely their federation refused to pay for the whole trip.

    • I would say the same with Serbia   May the best team win 
    • Yes, there are chances for us to make it, but also there are chances for you to beat us by more than 6 goalsOur team is very unpredictable at the moment.
    • My guess is that Montenegro will beat Czech Republic and for the our match it will be about goal difference. I read that if Serbia beat Romania by 6 goals then we will pass. So there are still chances that you can make it. 
    • Difficult for us without Neagu But we had some good moments against Montenegro last night. We lost due to many errors in defence, we have to improve that. I don't know what to expect against Serbia, I would say 55% we will go home after group stage, unfortunatly. About the other matches, except Croatia vs Faroe Islands which ended with a draw, not to many surprises.
    • Congrats to Max for another win. Easy race for him   The battle for constructor championship is still running What a disgrace for the directors of the race to not send the safety car on track due to that mirror which caused a puncture to Sainz and Hamilton. By the way, looking of the direction of Bottas when he hit that mirror we can be suspicious that he did that intentionally. Ok, he had to give space to the driver who laped him, but his direction is too strange. Pitty such race was ruined by this incident.
    • World Athletics announce the World Athletes of the Year.  Big awards go to Letsile Tebogo and to Sifan Hassan.    Women’s World Athlete of the Year: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s World Athlete of the Year: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Women’s track: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) Women’s field: Yaroslava Mahuchikh (UKR) Women’s out of stadium: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s track: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Men’s field: Mondo Duplantis (SWE) Men’s out of stadium: Tamirat Tola (ETH) Women’s Rising Star: Sembo Almayew (ETH) Men’s Rising Star: Mattia Furlani (ITA)       Seems a bit strange to me - OK, there is a case for Tebogo over Duplantis who can basically win every year, but for me Manuchikh beating an almost 30 year old WR beats winning Olympic Marathon Gold.    Hassan and Tebogo named World Athletes of the Year | World Athletics    
    • Former snooker World Champion Terry Griffiths passed away at the age of 77.
    • Doesn't matter if Shiffrin is there or not, it's still a last minute defeat for Wendy Holdener.  
    • https://www.reuters.com/sports/russian-uzbek-billionaire-usmanov-elected-president-international-fencing-2024-11-30/   he's officially back...and he'll be worse than ever!  
    • boh?    I don't have a consolidated idea yet...   golds? I hope many, but I fear we won't get to 5   medals? hopefully, more than in 2022   the "athlete of the Games"? Davide Ghiotto (speedskating) and Pietro Sighel (short track speedskating) hopefully, also Sofia Goggia (alpine skiing), Arianna Fontana (short track & speedskating) and Stefania Constantini (curling)...but it's just hope, not a prediction   breakthrough? Tommaso Giacomel (men's biathlon)   newcomers? I think the Big Air guys (Tabanelli siblings in freestyle, Matteoli in snowboard), hopefully Erik Canovi in SkiMo (but, as I wrote earlier, I fear it's too early for him, as he's still a junior) with a lot of optimism, Elia Barp (cross-country) and Daniele Di Stefano (speedskating, mass start)   surprising medals? I don't think there's any chance for  to win a truly surprising medal, all those who have just the smallest chance to make the podium, it wouldn't be a true upset if they get it
