Recommended Posts

Paul Kohlhoff/Carolina Werner managed to earn an astonishing 2nd place in Nacra 17 at the Sailing World Cup Weymouth & Portland in a field with nearly all Rio top boats. Now they have to wait if the NOC will follow the recommendation of the German sailing federation (DSV).

Announcement will made either on Juni 28th or latest on Juli 12th.

Switzerland has received quota in men's 49er, after Canada declined it... Thanks a lot ISAF for still not updating your qualification list. I found this thanks to Swiss NOC.

Same as the women's RS:X. Sweden and Canada declined the spots, re-distributing them to Latvia and Singapore.

Canada also declined men's RS:X quota. Who is next in line?

 

This decision seems strange, but in Canada results speak. If you send an athlete and they finish so low, your funding will suffer. In events with less boats, the athletes have a chance of placing in top 20. For ex. finishing 19/20 in an event is better than 37/50 (even though you were much further away from last).

How did you know that Canada decline the RS:X (both men and women) and 49er quotas? ISAF has not published the updated qualification list for weeks.

Swiss NOC announced its sailors in 49er on their Olympic team website.

Croatia is next in line, but we will decline it because of the injury apparently. We don't even have luck when we receive reallocation. :roflmao: Austria is next in line.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
