After last update of Olympic Rankings  :MEX Rodolfo Cazaubon is the new entry in 54th place, with :BANSiddikur Rahman dropping out of the top 60.

The Mexican Cazaubon climb 109 place and is now #269 in World Ranking after the Puerto Rico Open, and now Mexico have two eligible players (Carlos Ortiz #57)

 

The last in Olympic Men's Ranking is now Mardan Mamat :SIN (#353 in World Ranking) with Bangladesh player Rahman now #361 in World ranking (#61 O.R.)

 

:ITA have only 1 player (at now) Francesco Molinari #34 O.R ; instead in women's ranking we have two eligible players Giulia Sergas #46 O.R. and Giulia Molinaro #53 O.R. (#350 W.R.) but Diana Luna is close to her ( #357 W.R.)

So ANA Inspiration is already on to the final day! :clap:

 

Lexi Thompson is leading the tournament with -10 and will start the last pair with a surprising Ariya Jutanugarn (Thailand), which divides the 2nd position with world number 1 Lydia Ko and with world number 9 Inn Gee Chun (currently out of he olympics, she's the 5th Korean, but that would probably change with a good score on this major), all of them with -9.

 

Then we have a lot of good players very close to the top, with -8 to -5, so anything can happen today!

 

A great final day is expected for all Golf fans :d

Lydia Ko is the first major winner on 2016! :champion:

 

Regarding Olympic qualification, this results means nothing to the winner (she's number one :p), but it brings some changes to the two runner-ups of this major:
Charley Hull - climbs 16 (!!) ranking position and is now the 25th of the world;
In Gee Chun - climbs only one position but overcomes her korean team-mate Amy Yang, which means she's in the top 4 korean AND in the olympic qualifying list

 

Next stop: Men's Masters!!

:bowdown: Lydia Ko  becomes the youngest two-time major winner in LPGA history (1st was Evian Championship in September)

 

Will be a tough battle for the :KOR women, there are 4 tickets (if are in TOP 15) and Korea have 8 athletes, maybe only  Inbee Park (W.Rank #2) has a secure place at now.

 

:ITADiana Luna overcome Giulia Molinaro.

Korea is really strong in the women's golf, I don't think they will fail on sending a full 4 players team to Rio :)

 

And besides being the youngest two-time major winner in LPGA, she's the youngest double major winner in Golf (male and female) in 147 years!!! :yikes::yikes: (Previously winner was Young Tom Morris from Scotland, when he won British Open in 1868 and 1869)

The Men's Masters (one of the most important championships and my favorite major) started today!

 

Jason Day and Jordan Spieth (current champion) are probably the favorites to win, but all the best golfers in the world are playing so anyone can win! :d

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
