still this si good for Slovakia. Second place in group is now realistic. So, you can be in pot 2 for next WL and maybe even better draw for Euro 2018.

 

Great prediction!

We won against Romania 6-5 tonight in Košice and we are now assured to finish second :)

your hockey youngs lost to Spain by a goal at the end of the match and you missed a great opportunity to tie the game in the last seconds :( I watched the last period and Serbians played much better but were unlucky in the offensive

33rd LEN European Water Polo Championships

Switzerland and the Czech Republic go through

 

Switzerland and the Czech Republic, host of the first round of the 33rd LEN European Water Polo Championships Qualifying Tournament, have clinched the spots to the next round after defeating Austria 9-8 and Bulgaria 10-6.

Switzerland was superior to Austria throughout the match, having a 4-1 lead after the first quarter. After several ties, the Swiss National Team’s victory wasn’t altered by Austrian Ferenc Makray’s goal just seven seconds before the end of the game.

 

The Czech Republic secured the second spot in the next round after defeating Bulgaria, the weakest team of the weekend, with a solid performance, especially in the second quarter.

Switzerland, the first classified team of the tournament held this weekend in Prague, will travel to Poland for the second round to face Belarus, Israel and Poland. The Czech Republic will have to defeat Lithuania, Ukraine and Portugal, in a Portuguese city.

 

The second round will be held from October 6-8 and no teams will be eliminated. The eight contenders’ results will determine their rivals in the play-off phase, that will take place in February 2018. They will face the teams classified 9-16 in the latest European Championships.

 

Women Qualification
The start of the Women’s Qualifying Stage will coincide with the second round of the Men’s Pre-European Tournament, scheduled for October. Held in Ukraine, seven teams will face each other for six spots in the play-off phase. The teams are: Malta, Israel, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine. The six qualified teams will have to play against the squads classified 7 to 12 in Belgrade 2016.

 

Results of this weekend:
Bulgaria – Austria 7-16
Czech Republic – Switzerland 7-8
Switzerland – Bulgaria 12-7
Czech Republic – Austria 11-10
Switzerland – Austria 9-8

Well, if it means the Olympic tournament will actually be a good tournament instead of only 8 nations like some sort of demonstration event, I'm all for it.

    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?
