Having 2 athletes in all of the men's long distance events (800, 1500 and open water) is some going and something which no one would've thought was achievable 10 years ago. 

I think we only have 1 in the 800?

No, Dan Jervis got the time at last year's trials and actually missed the BST by 0.01. I think he's a certainty to do this in Paris, and probably got confirmation from the selectors beforehand that he'd be allowed if he wanted to - hence why he didn't enter.

Ah right enough - he wasn't on my radar cos he didn't enter the event here. Unfortunately that probably makes the case for taking Bird a bit harder to make.

It does, but Bird's big opportunity is getting in via the 200 relay. Top 6 would put him in contention as reserve.

Good performance from MacInnes, exactly what we needed for the relay. She also goes bang on the OQT, meaning she can be entered into the individual if she wishes. 

It’s not if she wishes. It’s if the team wishes. And I think they tell her to focus on the relay and 200.

Doubt it. Feels very unlikely. I think he knew the minute he finished his 400 that he is only going to Paris as a spectator.

    • Matt Gaetz as attorney general is definitively... a choice.
    • I'm all in favor of this and it was about time. Wrestling has become table tennis 2.0 and in some cases even worse. In European Championships from 20 wrestlers in a weight you were seeing 7-8 foreigners. Yes, it's mostly Russians, but there are also Ukrainians, Georgians, Cubans being naturalized.    I've said it numerous times, that i don't approve the tactic our federation started of naturalizing people left and right. Which actually wasn't paying off that much, until the Olympics. If it leads to worse results, than it's just a wakeup call for the destruction of our wrestling system (which has been evident for 15 years).
    • WLL to debut a women’s league in 2025 in preparation for LA 2028.   https://www.instagram.com/p/DCUdUebOWBO/?igsh=enNtY2JlYmRnency
    • New season streams are posted for the weekend if you need to get your schedule organised.     Remember, it's a double bill from Pyeongchang  on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, then a single race from  next weekend. No bobsleigh yet, so I guess they will get double races with no skeleton later in the season.      There were two Asian Cup races on the Pyeongchang track last weekend, and another scheduled for tomorrow, so no excuses for poor performance, everybody should be used to it by now.     IBSF Bobsleigh & Skeleton - YouTube
    • races also on Saturday and Sunday.  These are sometimes FTA, other times you will need your VPN.   Skidskytte: Idre | SVT Play
    • So here we are....pre-season races ready to go.  Always important for the big teams to get some last minute promotions for the first trio of pre-Christmas World Cup races, or even for club skiers to get some kind of promotion into a professional training group.      races on Saturday and Sunday morning.  Usually these are globally free to air live, although you sometimes have to wander round a bit to find the right link.   Sport - NRK TV
    • Anyway, for those who were following this discussion a few weeks ago,  has an excellent chance of first-ever World Cup podiums, possibly even wins, this weekend.  Roche Silveira won and was second in two full-scale rehearsal races last weekend, and has two chances in Pyeonchang on Saturday and Sunday. Then Pinheiro Braathen has another chance in the Levi slalom on Sunday.
