Yeah, I doubt he even read qualification system, judging by that idea. :p

Ah, so he was wrong? Alright, good to know I wasn't wrong :p

I actually don't :p 

 

It sounded like you corrected him on national television, judging by this "Alright, good to know I wasn't wrong". :p

Ah, nope :d 

 

Although on a forum when someone asked what Belgium needs to qualify a relay, I answered 'a time machine', since the qualification for relays was over. Now the commentator said something different on TV :p

It will be a huge mental test for Chloe Chevalier in stage 3, big shoes to fill, when Braisaz is sick.

I'm also pretty excited to see Oeberg in the anchor leg for Sweden.

Kaisheva with a good chance to perhaps qualify herself for the Olympics if she performs well in the relay tomorrow.

Lastly, I'm very happy that Leščinskaitė is starting third tomorrow for Lithuania and not Paulauskaitė.

People on this forum know too much about the qualification rules to be ever considered normal ;)

Anyways, just looking at the protocols now and can we just have a moment to praise team Slovenia for finishing 10th in the relay with 0+2, only two extra rounds used today, that's some impeccable shooting.

    • Both morocco + senegal got sanctions :     Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has been banned for five of the six 2027 AFCON qualifying matches and handed an individual fine of $100,000 for "bringing the game into disrepute." Senegal players Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr will miss the first two qualifiers for the next AFCON later this year for "unsporting behavior towards the referee       Morocco also hit with big fine Morocco's federation were fined a total of $315,000 for unsporting and improper conduct by their players, coaches and supporters. A whopping $200,000 of that total was for the behavior of the stadium ball boys, who attempted to seize a towel being used by Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy on a wet night in Rabat — in an apparent bid to distract him. An additional fine of $100,000 was imposed for the "improper conduct" of players and technical staff who invaded the VAR review area and obstructed the work of the DR Congo referee Jean-Jacques Ndala. There was also a $15,000 fine after Moroccan supporters used lasers to try and distract Senegalese players during the game. Captain Achraf Hakimi was also banned for two games, with one suspended, and Morocco's Ismael Saibari was banned for three games, both for "unsporting behavior".

They have a link in the article to the latest magazine issue which details all of the medalists.

    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
