Well if those 4 end up qualifying. The process works great, unless your part time of what will be an awesome European bloodbath for two spots amongst five teams.

Basically, Europe had the opportunity to qualify up to six teams, not our fault their best teams can't compete with the best from Oceania/North America

If Canada and USA qualify as top 4, Mexico doesn't auto qualify. The North American spot is added to the reoechage.

The NA qualification tournament will only be held if either or both Canada and the USA fail to qualify among the top 4.

Three spots. If Canada and the USA both qualify by ranking the North American spot will be relocated to the repechage (probably because Mexico or Jamaica was literally one series point away from qualifying in 2016 and World Rugby didn't want that...).

 

Still going to be a really harsh road for those teams if one of them don't overtake Australia.

But It will create some great rugby

Honestly, Spain could only defeat Kenya and Fiji in Rio. It's not like the 3rd best European team (whoever it is) will be a contender.

Looks like the European qualifier will feature the 5th,6th, 7th and 8th best teams in the world...

So essentially, we’ll see two world tour teams miss out? Or is it only one because Canada and US already qualified?

Two, only 3/5 of the top European teams will qualify

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      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."
