Bit surprising that IHF didn’t choose Romania as a wild card instead of Great Britain, but oh well. Good for them.

Don’t know anything about the procedure, but it is safe to say that Romania would have been more competitive and probably would have „deserved“ it more. GB starting to care about handball (volleyball, basketball) would be good for the sport, but it doesn’t seem to be GB‘s strategy to focus on team sports. France on the other hand seems to care a lot more about team sports. I guess for GB it is enough to be (somewhat) competitive in football and rugby.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • Just wanted to mention this.   This week's edition of the Keep The Flame Alive podcast will feature an interview with Bruna https://flamealivepod.com/   Will be available late on Thursday European time.
    • It's simple. In shooting it's possible to have the same athletes compete in multiple events (air rifle + 3 pos being the obvious one) but rapid fire pistol is for "one event speciallists" so by cutting down this event you actually remove more quotas by design. Promoting "multi event" athletes in multi event sports lowers the quota by default.   It's no different when gymnastics promoted OG qualifying through all-around which hosed single apparatus speciallists who could only make it as reigning world champions (and why Leszek Blanik didn't compete in Athens 2004 and only qualified for Beijing 2008 because he won WCh gold in 2007).
    • Just to check I didn't miss anything, but there doesn't happen to be any way of dowloading the entire season's calendar in some sort of a CSV format, correct? https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/cross-country/calendar-results.html   I'm looking for weekends that have both a classic sprint and a freestyle distance race, but I guess that's going to be manual labour

    • The team needs more development before LA: - More players to go outside (look at Seesa, Sief or Dodo development and compare it with someone like Mohsen or Abd Elrahman Abdo) - new Keeper (Hindawy is below average) - Ahly and Zamalek need to let more players to go out and get more internal transfer to keep it flow - Ali / Elmasry / Sanad will be older, smart replacement is required - Mohab (the best sub so far for Yaya) to take more time on field (after returning from his injury) - Thanks Pastor, younger coach is required, Pastor is a great manager but still old school believer. I know Paraondo maybe difficult but similar generation would be great (I hope Danish school).   Let's wish good luck for the team today I don't know why I am very optimistic (without valid reasons) 
    • I think this has less to do with reducing quota and more about making the event program the same for men and women.   But they could also just replace the women’s 25m pistol with a 25m rapid pistol.
    • sailing and shooting have lost significant quotas the last two cycles, so yea. But I am not sure how swapping an event makes the quotas go down?
    • This is just sailing deja vu. IOC will do anything to cut down the athletes quota on the less popular sports. Sailing & shooting have a long history but they're just not trendy enough these days to survive the purge in some capacity. Yeah, it sucks...
