A simple google search would show there are many ski resorts/courses in the Uk. Its serious enough of a sport, that it won the same amount of medals India won in Rio, an event with more than double th

Well, things have fairly turned around. Rowing stunk up the first few days, but was the only serious failure. Athletics looked bad for a while, but our historically strongest events - middle distances

Kudos to Ellis & Smith who beat the number three seeds to top their group in the badminton mixed doubles. This should give them an easier draw in the quarter finals and the possibility of sneaking a medal.

For tommrow The main Medal Hopes are Duncan Scott in the Swimming, Bianca Walken in the Taekwondo, the team dressage and any one of the British Trio in the Women’s Triathlon. Possibly but not likely hopes are Thomas Dean in the swimming, Eden Cheng and Lois Toulson in the diving ,Mahama Cho in the Taekwondo and the rugby sevens. Any other medals would be massive upsets, 

 

 

It would be far from a shock if both Scott and Tom Dean medal. I would add a few names to your list. If Kathleen  Dawson's turn was as good as her opponents I would be confident of her medalling. As it is she still has a chance. In canoe slalom Kimberley Woods is capable of medalling. And finally over the next 2-3 days we have a chance of winning our first ever medals in weightlifting. Both Zoe Smith and Sarah Davies are competing on Tuesday and Davies at least has a genuine hope of a medal.

They will play Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet of Hong Kong on Wednesday in the quarter finals. The Hong Kong pair were world bronze medalists in 2018 so will be very tough but who knows - Ellis and Smith looks to be in good form.

Still better than one of the Chinese pairs! They had never beaten the pair they overcame today before so who knows. The commentators have suggested the slow conditions in the badminton venue actually favour the tactics the GB pair like to employ and hinder most of their opponents who play a different style of game so it could be an interesting contest.

I can't believe it! British 1-2 in the pool!

A great result. The rest of today has been rather mixed for Team GB so far - some great performances in the Rugby (Just about) and Tennis and Sailing  but some disappointing performances elsewhere.  Boxing not looking as sharp as expected. They will do well to match their Rio total medal - which probably means Team GB not making the 45-52 medal range.

The day got worse after that. Canoeing was a big disappointment, and looking back triathlon was nice but could have been better. Taekwondo hasn't been great today either.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Canoeing was more of a mild disappointment. She hadn’t been looking great in qualifying and I was expecting her to not make the final.

      Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.

      Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.

      Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.

      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
