So that would be 2 hours after the start... :mumble: You won't get to see Patricia for sure, perhaps also not Sam and Cathal. But I'm sure you will see Sarah and Padraig.

 

I guess there will likely be some breaks though (arena maintenance etc), in this big field of 70 starters... There is also quite often a longer break before the final 25 starters in these kind of competitions, so Sam could be safe too. :d

Thanks for the info :)

I will leave a trail of dust in my wake tomorrow, because as soon as 16:30 comes, I am outta there! :d

It should be a tight battle between :AUS:GER:SWE:USA:NED:NZL and even :CAN for the final 3 Olympic spots. :GBR:IRL:FRA are well in front, so it would take a disaster for them to lose a spot. Although saying that, the French are definitely not the best of jumpers...

 

Australians are probably the best rated show jumpers, so I don't see them losing a spot. Germany and Sweden are somewhat worse, but not too bad overall. Americans may struggle to have more than one clear. Dutch are probably the worst jumpers of the lot, so they have an outside chance at best. New Zealand can bring 3 clears. Canada is not that far, but they aren't particularly consistent jumpers either (aside from Colleen Loach).

 

Show jumping will have 4* technical difficulty, compared to 3* cross-country, so it could easily be overinflutential... But by the same token, there was a rest day in between so the level of jumping might improve.

    • 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
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics" 
    • and a brief look to Cortina village    
    • We call it beauty skating, if we're using the literal translation. 
    • Our delegation are a bit surprised there no chairs nor tables in the rooms though  You not use tables in Italy ?   
    • In Milan we share the building with no one else than     &       In Cortina we share the place with  
    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites
