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

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.

      Curling WCF European Championship 2024

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.

      What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.

      Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
