Good, I hope for surfing in Tahiti, skateboarding in Guadeloupe, breakdancing in French Guiana...so we can forget that they're part of the Olympics.

This sounds like it could push someone out who until now was quite sure of going?

Well Luca Armbruster was the top finisher in the 100m butterfly at German Championships missing the OQT by 0.01 seconds. However, he still appears on the athletes page as a relay only athlete so everything should be okay.

So it's not like until today he was expecting to compete individually, and now suddenly he won't?

With a consideration time, he would've needed an invitation from World Aquatics to compete individually. Based on the athletes that were invited, it looks like World Aquatics was prioritizing athletes from events with a low number of qualifiers. The 100m butterfly already had a lot of qualifiers so it's unlikely he would've gotten the chance to swim individually.

Just realized, but with the rugby sevens schedule the way it is, there's going to be quite a few athletes who don't even have a theoretical chance for gold anymore even before the opening ceremony starts. Isn't that...odd? Imagine you're selected as flagbearer, but while walking proudly with your flag, you're already entirely out of any theoretical chance to win...

It’s very unusual.

True. I cannot understand the rush to get the Sevens done so early. 96 men will be out of the Olympics before it starts!!

So that it and the Women’s event can be held at the Stade De France before the Athletics starts.

Athletics program at Stade de France must start on Day 7 morning, I assume was the reason Rugby 7 thus must leave the venue at last at Day 5 to prepare all the stuff for Track & Field

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

      is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
