Athletics Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

GB tennis player Dan Evans who is going to Tokyo was banned for a year for cocaine use.

 

"Evans was banned from playing professional tennis due to testing positive for cocaine in April 2017. Evans claims that he took a relatively small amount of cocaine out of competition, but that some permitted medication he was taking was then 'contaminated' by the cocaine because he accidentally put the leftover cocaine in the pocket of his washbag, thus testing positive in-competition. Evans was eligible to return to the professional circuit on 24 April 2018, having completed a one-year ban."

 

Sounds like Richardson may get off much more lightly even if she does miss the OG.

She could get away with as little as a public warning but it's automatic disqualification from the US trials whatever, so goodbye Tokyo...

I think USATF is not legally forced to choose the top 3 in each event, but it might be that if they don't do it, they open some kind of Pandora's Vase and a lot of lawsuits could be filed...

 

the 2 with the highest interest in this case are Jenna Prandini (who was 4th and could get a place among the 3 starters in the 100m individual race) and above all, Aleia Hobbs, who finished 7th and could be selected at least as a reserve for the relay instead of being out at 100%...

 

will be an interesting next 4 weeks or so...

No Ninon Chapelle (Guillon-Romarin)... It's a pity, it would have been an amazing story. Yet, the effort itself deserves all the praise.

    • Right, ready for  Brazil's first ever Paralympic Winter Games gold medal today   And with watching live actually being possible, vamos.
    • Great Britain only has a few medal chances to begin with, you can't genuinely expect all of your medal chances to convert, or even one unless they're a heavy favourite. 
    • A question about relay  qualification to LA 2028:    either you are among top 12 at the WCH, then you get 2 additional spots, or you have 4 swimmers there anyway and they can compete as relay, is that right?    now following scenario:  lets say an NOĆ has only one swimmer with A standard , let’s say 100m freestyle, and no other  swimmer qualified in any other discipline, but they are 12th in 4x100 freestyle at the WCH.  they would get two additional quota, but would have to decline them as they can’t compose a relay with 3 swimmers? Is this correct?

    • If anyone is interested, here is a link to a GeoGuessr Challenge.   It's in single player. There are 5 rounds total, and you have to pinpoint on a map as close as you can to the actual location that you spawned at. For this particular challenge, you have a time limit of 10 minutes per round and you can move as much as you want.   Since this is Totallympics, thought this particular map would be an appropriate theme. There is a flag at the start of each location that's supposed to help you identify where you are.   You can do this challenge at any time (no need to coordinate times with other users) and you only need a regular account, not a premium account.

    • March 9th Results - Asia   Pool C:    South Korea 7-2  Australia   Highlights:     Pool C Standings:     Team W L PCT Japan* 3 0 1.000 South Korea* 2 2 .500 Australia 2 2 .500 Taiwan 2 2 .500 Czech Republic 0 3 .000 *Japan and South Korea advance to the quarterfinals
    • Puerto Rico beats  Cuba 4-1 and advances to the quarterfinals.   The Canada vs. Cuba matchup on Wednesday will decide who will be the 2nd team to advance from Pool A.
    • I mean you don't need 2 weeks for a 12 team tournament. The 20-team WBC is already 13 days and they are stretching the final stages. You can probably get away doing it in 9-10 days, including rain contingency.
    • The 6 teams is very disappointing, but I think there would be no chance the MLB would allow players is the competition took the entire length of the Olympics. Giving players one week off is manageable, two weeks is near impossible from the MLB perspective.   IOC probably had to decide between having 8-12 teams w/o MLB players or 6 teams with possibly having MLB players.
