World Rowing have announced that :SRB have been suspended because of the debts they owe the organization.

This means their Olympic qualifier in women's single sculls will have to wait until the matter is solved before she claim a place in Paris

New Zealand confirmed to be competing in World Cup II in Lucerne in late May:

 

NZ Rowing Team to compete at 2024 World Rowing Cup II in Lucerne, Switzerland 24 – 26 May : RowingNZ

 

Think it is safe to assume this will be pretty close to their Olympic roster but there are a couple of changes to the squads that took part in last year's World Champs:

 

Women's Four - Kerri Williams comes in to replace Ella Cossill

 

Men's Double Sculls - Jordan Parry replaces Benjamin Manson

 

Men's Pair - Dan Williamson joins Phillip Wilson in the crew with Ben Taylor moved to the reserve pair.

Australia announce their squad for 2024

 

https://rowingaustralia.com.au/trio-of-olympic-champions-bolster-mens-eight-as-2024-team-unveiled/

 

  • Headline news is that they have opted for the Men's eight as their priority sweep boat instead of attempting to defend their Olympic title in the Men's four. Olympic champions Alexander Purnell, Spencer Turrin and Jack Hargreaves come into that boat.
  • Paddy Holt moves from the eight into the pair with Simon Keenan.
  • Angus Widdicombe and Tim Masters move from the eight to the four with Fergus Hamilton from the pair joining two time Olympic medallist Alexander Hill.
  • The pair was 8th and the old four 6th at worlds so chances are the net result of all this rejigging of the pair and the four is a couple of B final appearances but maybe they can sneak into an A final. Then again obviously the idea is mostly to try an upgrade from bronze in the eight.

 

  • On the sculling side of things opted to focus on the double instead of a quad despite the quad being close to Olympic qualification last year. They select a double of David Bartholot who most recently was in the quad and newcomer Marcus della Marta. They will consider and presumably select a quad for FOQR in a few weeks time.

 

  • For the women their world silver medal winning pair is of course unchanged and they opt to not yet commit to selections in the eight or the four. Hard to know which one they should prioritise.
  • The only change to their women's sculling squad seems to be Laura Gourley swapping the double for the priority quad and Harriet Hudson going the other way.
  • The women's lightweight double sees Giorgia Miansarow replace Lucy Coleman joining Anneka Reardon although they haven't commited to sending the boat to FOQR after its 13th place finish at last year's worlds. It's competitive enough that I would absolutely send it.

 

They also announced they would race a b squad at World cup 1.

:SRB suspension has now been lifted after the debt was settled.

Entries are out for the Piediluco Regatta: http://www.memorialdaloja.org/index.shtml

 

Some surprises within the Greek team. We are sending two men's double sculls teams and breaking up Kalandaridis and Palaiopanos. They were in Final A at the 2022 Worlds but Palaiopanos got injured after and they were horrible in 2023, they finished in Final D at the 2023 Worlds so now Kalandaridis is teaming up with 17 yo Cholopoulos who is probably way too young to be able to qualify for Paris although his results have been impressive for his age.

 

Women's double sculls we have a young inexperienced crew of 19 yo Asvesta and 16 yo Lykomitrou, meanwhile we have Fragkou and A.Kyridou each in the single sculls. I think it's strange when they are clearly better and it would make sense for the two of them to team up together in the double sculls (especially since only one will be able to compete in single sculls in Paris), but I'm not sure why M.Kyridou isn't here.

 

The Kyridou sisters posted something cryptic after the internal regatta a few weeks ago which made it seem like they didn't make the national team, so now I'm pleasantly surprised to see that one of them at least made it, but it's weird at the same time, and for the first time ever (at least that I can remember) the federation didn't publish the results from the internal regatta, and one of their Tokyo Olympians who got 5th place didn't make the national team but "random" teenagers did?!

Oxford a well-beaten boat now!  
 

Good race, usually the Women’s Race is decided in the first 30 seconds, but not the case today.

    • Here's the Official Olympics Page - as you can see, both  &  are on the TBC list   Where to Watch the Olympic Games Live | Milano Cortina 2026
    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
