I wonder, would she have been banned from practicing relay handoffs with the team during her suspension?

How many would she have held?

Just letting you all know of an update to my Road To Tokyo tool.  The data capture process now reads performances (IAAF Top List) as well as the IAAF World Rankings.  The filtered rankings, e.g. top 3

Did WA published official list of qualified athletes already? No matter what answear will be, if after 5th July someone will withdrew then first underline athlete still can replace this withdrawing athlete? I'm wonder especially in case in discus throw where Martinez from Spain will probably not compete and Polish guy Robert Urbanek is first underline.

There's a weird thing with Martinez, he's still fighting to be selected and could end up in the games still.

@dcro @Jur @Makedonas @JoshMartini007 @LowerSaxony I'm thinking of writing a story about World Athletics denying non-100m athletes universality spots... people deserve to know about it. If anyone knows of any other cases where athletes were denied spots and replaced by sprinters, please let me know! So far we have :BER Tyrone Smith (long jump) and :NEP Gopi Chandra Parki (marathon), but I bet there could be more.

 

In the 100m start lists, eight athletes I found are specialized in other events, according to World Athletics records.

  • Women: :DJI (400m/800m), :ARM (triple jump), :TPE (100m hurdles), :ALG (400m hurdles)
  • Men: :TLS (5000m/10000m), :SOM (1500m), :ISV (110m hurdles), :CAF (800m/1500m)

WA doesn't make sense at all. I just found the case of :STP D'Jamila TAVARES (a not-so-good 3000stp athlete) given an universiality quota in 800m when the country has a much better long jumper in Agate DE SOUSA that also is a 11.81 sprinter (much better than most of the girls that got universiality quotas)......

 

 

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE....

Good idea. What media/platform do you plan to use?

As said before, it's an absolute disgrace of WA. F.e. the guy from TLS has a ~14:30 PB over 5000m and might not be world class, but he still has a very decent level (better than >99,99% of the world) and it is absolutely disrespectful to offer such an athlete a place for an event where he has no connection with and - from the point of view of WA - where the athletes least bothers the entire event. Likewise, you don't ask a dressage rider to compete in show jumping because there are no more slots available for dressage.

Around The Rings, I am interning there. Thank you everyone for your ideas. Main thing now is to get a quote from one of the athletes. Have reached out to a couple, so will see if any reply, and then a story can be done.

Would be a really big pity for :ECU Alex Quinonez 

 

I really hope it gets solved and he gets to compete.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
