Long story short: she was on the way from Austria (where she had been in quarantine until today) to Munich, to get tested three times there in the coming five days, starting today. Somewhere along the

She isn't really able to answer anything here since she can only use one hand for now. Fine for voice messages, not so much for typing. But she asked me to write here that she had a quick look and is

To think their best woman actually has the A-criteria (and not from Lebanon fluke races)...

Sometimes I wonder how stupid must be the internal qualification criteria ..... Sorry to speak about the strict criteria of :NED NOC :lol: .... But I suppose your country is not the only having some "stupid" rules ....

:NED is sort of on another level of wanting desperately to avoid tourists.

 

I get wanting to turn down continental quotas or base quotas for uncompetitive athletes, but it really annoys me when there are X spots available in an event, an athlete is in the top X eligible athletes and their NOC just says "nah, not good enough". It just makes the event worse.

It just confirms how NOCs are dropping from the original idea of the Olympics ....... Coubertin does not really have a good sleep these days .....

For unknown reasons, :CZE refused 2 female quotas even though the name list was announced 4 days ago including 7 female athletes. On FIS, there are only 5 female athletes confirmed .....  Not sure why or what happened. But internal information is that they qualified 7 female athletes and they also listed them as officially nominated: Kateřina Janatová, Tereza Beranová, Petra Hynčicová, Petra Nováková, Zuzana Holíková, Barbora Antošová, Sandra Schützová

Spain asked for a TOP100 in the ranking or 2 top30 in WorldCup or 2 top15 in EuropeanCup, that's why they rejected the :ESP female quota:facepalm:

 

More stupid is the reason why we rejected the 3rd male quota... cause they asked for two TOP20 finished in TeamSprint and they only got one... and a 21st place :facepalm::wall:

With 8 women's quota being rejected, Latvia should be getting another one now (they're 9th, but Austria rejected two and is ahead of them in the reallocation list).

      Shooting ISSF World Cup 2025

      so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
