Team USA - Rugby Sevens

Our Women took Bronze for the first time this year, after finishing fourth three times.  We're in third in the overall standings.  :AUS and :NZL have been 1-2 each time.  We'll see how the end of the season goes!

 

Our Men came in 2nd in the first SVNS 2 tourney a few weeks ago.  They have two more the last two weekends of this month.  Hope we can get promoted (though not sure exactly how to get promoted back to the top tier SVNS...will research more later).

Looks like top 4 of 6 get promoted.

From what I see, I think that means that the top 4 get to compete with the Top 8 teams in SVNS in the three WCh events at the end of the season.  I think then the Top 8 after that event stay in (or are promoted to) SVNS, with the last 4 being in SVNS 2 the next year.  Source: 'It’s then a three-tournament shootout for not only the overall World Championship crown, but more importantly, top-eight survival next season.' from https://www.svns.com/en/news/1038945/how-new-look-hsbc-svns-set-up-has-changed-the-game

 

With that said, I do think our men and our women should be in those last three comps.

Reminder that our ladies take to the pitch tomorrow in NY.

 

Also, stating the obvious, since I'm working on the qualis, that we get a team for each gender.  Other quotas starting to be allocated mid-2027.

:USA women already beat :CAN , will play :JPN soon (should win)...but the :AUS match tonight at 6:30 is the big one.

:AUS 26:19 :USA  Close game, but we came up short.

 

We get :NZL in the semis tomorrow at 1:12 pm EDT, then depending on whether we win or lose, we'll play at 4:16 (bronze) or 5:14 (gold).

Our men took home the top place in this weekend's SVNS 2 competition. :)  Last SVNS 2 competition is this weekend in São Paulo, then on to World Champs with guys and girls both there.

Our men ended up in 4th this past weekend in São Paulo, but we still ended up on top of the SVNS 2 tournament, thus officially qualifying for the World Champs coming up starting mid-April.  :USA

Our men were drawn into a tough pool with both :AUS and :NZL (though we almost beat NZL), and then it didn't help that we lost the match vs. :KEN.  So, we ended up in the 9th place SF vs. :GBR.  I watched those highlights, and it was a tight match, but GB pulled it off, so we're off to play for the 11-12 classification vs. :GER.

 

Our women lost to :CAN in the QF, so we'll be playing in one of the classification games later.

    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
    • We can be embarrassed together.
    • God, I hope so. I just want a pro-European government, that's all. Man, we're tired.
    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.
