Speaking of Archery...less than 30 mins now till the first Paris 2024 session with British participants! LFG Penny, Bryony and Megan! 

 

Ranking round should give us at least a bit of a clue to whether the British women will be involved at the sharp end of things next week.

Believe the 7 extra ES Channels pop-up tomorrow on Sky & Virgin. To resume - 4 of them will be dedicated to the big fortnight long team sports & three others will be divided up as need be with the shorter-running sports like archery, canoe slalom, badminton etc etc.

They already on Virgin.

That was pretty rough. Hopefully the men do a bit better and get us into the mixed team. I don't know enough to actually say how likely this is. We are six behind :TPE who have strong men but maybe some other teams will weaken. A good performance should be enough anyway

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

I'm hopeful given we have 3 athletes whilst lots of the teams around us have just one, although that didn't really help for the women.

At the 2023 Worlds, Penny Healey was 5th in the Ranking round with a score of 664 - today she was 52nd with a score of 631. Can only imagine that's nerves, which is not exactly surprising for a 19yo at her first Olympics!

It looks as though GB, despite a poor ranking round, should avoid korea china and india until the semi's, hopefully that's the nerves out of the system

In this sport, for whatever reason, 10 and 11 are kind of the seeding sweet spot - you avoid Korea till the final, and most of the big guns until the semi or quarter - there is a route to bronze in this set up that doesn't require beating one of the big two asian giants, albeit a very very long shot

 

Bt GER bt MEX lose CHN Bt IND

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
