We're 2/3 of the way through the 1st round of Qualifying for the 2027 World Cup for our Men.  We're 3-1 (having lost to :DOM), and still have to play :DOM and :MEX again in July.  Regardless of how those go, we're moving on to the 2nd round, starting in August (but results from the 1st round carry over, so we want to do well).

 

From an Olympics perspective, it doesn't matter if we make the World Cup, as we're already qualified.  7 other teams will qualify based on the WC results, the last four teams coming via OQTs later.

 

For the Women, we're obviously already qualified, and we're also already qualified for the 2026 Women's WC.  For this, if we win, then no other team qualifies for the Olympics at this point; otherwise, the winner will qualify.  The other 10 (or 11, if we win) teams will come from an OQT in 2028.

I missed that our USAWBB team would still be playing in the WC qualifiers this week (starting today vs. :SEN ).  Even though we're qualified, I guess just the experience on the court can be beneficial.

Interested to see Caitlyn Clark in a USA uniform for the first time.

:USA 110-46 :SEN

 

Comfortable win in what's basically a friendly for our women's team as we are already qualified for the World Cup.

 

Clark had 17 points and 12 assists.

 

We play :PUR tonight at 8 p.m. ET on TruTV

      Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time.

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit.

      Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
