Modern Pentathlon Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

No, this is both about the 2019 World Championships.

Yes, what @EselTheDonkey posted is right - this must be a mistake. I think the key to solve this is a hierarchical order of mentioning these competitions in the document so the Continental Champs are more important so doubling the quota during World Champs 2019 mean the place will go to ranking.

Some of us were sure about "free" quota for Kyrgyzstan. Now you can bet your money on Uzbekistan - well known Russian athletes Alise Fakhrutdinova and Alexander Savkin are confirmed to start for this country by the UIPM and they're said to participate in Budapest at World Champs under their new flag.

No title defense for Chloe Esposito - "a wonderful unexpected surprise has happened", using her own words. The August will bring something else into her life than another Olympic medal.

She sounds remarkably normal and knows what's important and what isn't.

I think  that most elite female athletes from the US and Europe in her position would be ringing up their abortionist 

(Can I say that ?)

Sure, you can say that (as long as you understand it's most likely not true).

"Most elite female athletes from the US and Europe would be ringing up their abortionist"? Lol, no.

 

1) They generally don't have 'their abortionist'

2) Most elite female athletes who are in her position in the athletic sense would be using birth control

3) I'm fairly sure, but this is an assumption, most elite female athletes with who birth control didn't work would sit out the Olympics instead of thinking "oh ok, abortion!".

 

I mean, we can have nonsense discussions all day long, but saying most in her position would just go for an abortion is just borderline bullshit.
