Oh for sure. 
 

But unless she gets injured/ill before or during the Olympics, I don’t see that happening. She’s what you would call “the perfect example of consistency” in the sport of athletics. 

Or tests positive for Doping baring in mind who her coach is.

Also keep in mind it was in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, which is kind of the European equivalent of :USA Eugene and :RUS Cheboksary in terms of magical performances :p

Can you please stop with this nonsense? :facepalm::hairpull::bones::spank:
 

Not everyone is doping, believe it or not.

Bol hasn’t beaten McLaughlin in their many many head to head meetings

McLaughlin and head to head meetings? I'd be surprised if they had many :whistle:

She doesn’t compete much, you’re right. But they’ve raced against each other multiple times before, and each time McLaughlin has came out on top. Nothing to suggest that in Paris things will be any different. Obviously I’m not ruling Bol out though.

An odd little story.

While World Athletics still recognize Flo Jo as the 100m world record holder, athletics statisticians have withdrawn their recognition for the reasons stated below

In my memory Bol and McLaughlin only met twice in a 400 meter hurdles run. In the final of the Tokyo Olympics and in the final of the World Championships 2022. Both occassions McLaughlin was way faster, that will happen in Paris too. But who knows, Bol can surprise maybe. Let's hope.

 

All athletes run PB's, NR's and SB's in Chaux-la-Fonds today. Don't know what's in the air there today, but the conditions are very fast!

So much so that :GBR no longer accepts times set there for Qualification purposes.

In that meeting, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, :POL Pia Skrzyszowska reached 12.37 in 100m hurdles, missing equaling national record about 0,01 seconds :yikes: It's worth to mention that Polish national record remain unbeaten since 1980...

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
