Sive Brassil made the final at the World Championships, so to make the Olympic team she needs to either earn a direct quota by finishing among the 3 highest athletes not yet qualified or to finish as high as possible in order to overtake those above her in the rankings. There are quite a few non-qualified athletes in the final so finishing in the top 3 will be a stiff challenge. But the dream is alive and she is very capable of a big result, here's hoping :)

Heartbreaking final Olympic qualification day for Russel White in the men's triathlon.... looks like he has been pipped for the final Olympic qualification spot by Stefan Zachäus from Luxembourg. Not sure of his prospects to receive a re-allocated quota as the official document states it will be reallocated to a NOC from the same continent that does not yet have a qualifier. But there is some hope I guess, but very sad for him to lose out on the last day.

What about the two tripartite spots?

I’m not sure if they will be allocated, but if they aren’t then that quota will go to the next highest in the Olympic ranking which I think would be Russell White. I’m not certain though, will wait and see how the simulation in the world triathlon website updates the list after today’s results to see if Russell is indeed first in line for that reallocation if it did happen.

QUALIFICATION UPDATE

 

 

Updated after the stunning qualification of the Men's Rugby Sevens team :bowdown:

 

It's so exciting to have an Irish rugby team at the Olympics and wonderful to think we will have participation in 2 team sports now.

It's also a welcome boost to the team numbers and we are up to 94 athlete quotas now, 17 sports and 50 events, with more to come.

    • 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.
