The thing is BWF wants to have a group stage (unlike other racket sports) and they can't fix the number of groups in because of the variable number of players in singles.

 

What they can fix is the grouping conditions such as giving group of fours to lowest seeded players or making the bye positions flexible.

the answer to that is a limited number of runners-up qualifying for a last 16. if you have a weird number of players, even better. start on the basis of 12 groups of 4, with groups adjusted to 3 for having less than 48 players. 12 group winners, 12 seeds. from there there are any number of ways to get to 16.

 

in this case : 41 = 5 groups of 4, 7 groups of three. Put top 5 seeds in groups of 4. GRoups of three, winners progress. Groups of 4 winners progress and runners up progress- the two lowesr ranked runners up play for the last, last 16 place (which mathematically can never be 1 and 2 seed)

Second Frnech pair has been included and the men's doubles draw will be tomorrow.

And not a single regulation is updated except making one group to have 5 pairs instead of 4. Bravo

Group D is an absolute minefield in Men's Doubles. Just shows what one extra space does to the probability while drawing.

Due to a doping offense, to be clear...

 

I just can't....three missed tests, how the fuck do you do that if you're a genuine professional? You know you're on edge after two missed tests, how do you not check your whereabouts and if necessary update them every single day? I'd do it 5 times a day and wouldn't stop being anxious until at least one missed test is more than 12 months ago again....

 

Who gets their spot?

 

Edit: just read the rest of the article, nobody will replace them because the draw is already made. That's a shitty rule, so if you're one spot out, even someone withdrawing (for whatever reason) way more than a week before it actually starts doesn't get you in, what happened to the lucky loser kind of thing we see in tennis tournaments :hairpull:

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
