In Gymnastics, Rebeca Andrade won't do the AA so Brazil probably not only has lost this medal but also a possible team gold. She's a favourite on Vault and Bars, but has american competition. Hopefully Flavia Saraiva can win a gold in any event.

 

Without Caio Souza, Brazil isn't a favourite in any event on the men's side. Curiously enough, Arthur Nory will compete in AA for the first time in years (he doesn't do Rings), trying to get the Olympic quota.

So indeed Olympic quotas will be given for the gymnastic disciplines?

I think so, at least that's the expectation from Brazilian Gymnastics - to get the only quota available (best AA after :USA and :CAN which already qualified a full team). But apparently the 2024 World Cup series has priority over this? Meaning that someone like Zanetti (unlikely) could get a Rings quota and then the Pan American Games spot would go to another nation (assuming Brazil gets this quota, which is already difficult).

Anywhere between 23 and 61 gold

Isn’t Thibeault is the heavy favourite for gold in the women’s 75kg weightclass?

I wasn’t sold on the diving venue when I saw photos earlier this week, but it does come across nice enough on the broadcast.

No, just streaming it looks like.

A nice bit of propaganda from this morning while we wait for the opening ceremony.

    • Or is Girardelli respected in Austria these days...
    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for Girardelii. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
    • Stage 3 in Gurgl (AUT)   Women´s Slalom:   1. Mikaela Shiffrin    1:40.22 2. Lara Colturi    1:40.77 3. Camille Rast    1:40.79   Full Final Results HERE
