Two days done, almost every event with a CR and some big names here! However, a lot of the big names have also skipped it. 

 

The winner of each event qualifies for the 2019 Pan American Games, so :GRN has qualified its first athlete officially as Anderson Peters won the javelin.

:wUKR: Ukraine's marathon selection criteria for the Olympics 2020 (a project written by the Board of Coaches but most def it will be signed by UAF Council without changes):

The priority:

 

#1. One best athlete who will get into the WCH 2019 top-15 in Doha. (Which is impossible :lol: )

#2. The national marathon championships 2019 winners if they achieve UAF standard.

#3. Everyone else with IAAF standard achieved at the AIMS series from January 1, 2019 to March 22, 2020. In accordance with IAAF ranking.

 

 

Criteria #1 (WCH 2019) selection:

 

1. The winners of the national marathon championships on September 16, 2018 in Dnipro (certified by AIMS) with UAF standard... Men - 2:16.00, Women - 2:38.00.

    • I’ll start first;   Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure)    Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller Ice Hockey:  Sweden men’s team,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team, and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Andri Ragettli Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt   From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes.

    • I disagree, the Christiansen hit on Kuzmenko was as clean as can be, why would you try to start a fight after that? Honestly, I find it a little pathetic and soft from Pospisil, but maybe that’s just me…
