Wow in a complete shock, Argentina is eliminated in the group stage of the Women's Pan American Junior Championships. Argentina has won 7/8 editions of the tournament and was the defending World Champion, now won't even qualify for the tournament.

Not a total shock. This was a provincial team representing Argentina.

 

Here's what happened: both our men's and women's team travelled together on bus to Chile (yes, all inside a single tiny bus in covid time, stupid). When entering Chile one player of the men's team got a positive in a quick covid test and as a result, all players of both teams and their entire coaching staff were sent back to Argentina and quarantined. Therefore no one could play this championship because of a single positive! :hairpull: :wall:we had to make two new teams from scratch and send them without any training 2 days before the tournaments. The men apparently were decent enough to beat USA so far and look like they will qualify. The women, evidently, weren't good enough (yet they held their own pretty decently in both games given the circumstances).

 

 

It is really sad because especially our women's team was absurdly talented this time, we were sending one olympic medalist girl from Tokyo and several others from the last YOG but their dreams were completely crushed before they could even play a single game due to incompetence from our federation :cry:

Australia and New Zealand withdraw from both junior world cups and pro league 2021/22.

 

 

Argentina already got the invitation as replacement team for junior women's world cup... so, everything back on track for us after so much bad luck.

We'll have a mildly surprising semifinal in the men's junior WC with :FRA v :ARG 

 

Looks like France will be combining two great junior generations for 2024 (the other being the silver juniors from 2013, players who are around 28/29 now).

 

The other will be between the host :IND and :GER 

 

Unfortunately, the women's junior WC was postponed (and probably will be cancelled) because of covid. Our team is so unfortunate, again affected by pandemic circumstances just before a tournament (they were already flying to south africa when the announcement was made).

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites
    • New pole vault world lead and huge pb of 4.88by Hana Moll on her birthday yesterday .
    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
