Wait, congrats for him but

 

How the hell? 

 

He was 145. in the olympic ranking. Did we miss like 15 withdrawals since the lists came out? Or did nobody ranked higher accept the reallocation of Cuevas' quota? 

I have no idea. I was also shocked. Next in the line should have been :HUN Balasz and :SVK Martin. But COC has confirmed that they recieved the invitation from ITF for Tomáš Mácháč and they accepted it. Happened today.... I guess ITF has been with the invitation what they want. Or I was thinking whether after withdrawals, they may be contacting countries that haven't qualified anyone yet. Which would perfectly fit to Macháč. All non qualified players in front of him are from countries that have already qualified at least one player. Except :AUT where Novak refused .... :CZE also refused from Veselý on the other hand .... So I am not sure really how but very happy cause he can also play mixed doubles with his GF Siniaková.

One theory I have now is that Sousa was no longer eligible for European quota, as we were wondering here a few days ago. 

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

Do you think they will be ranked high enough to get into mixed doubles? Only 16 teams can make it

It will be very difficult for them to make the combined ranking cut in mixed doubles, despite Siniakova's high ranking in doubles. Of course, we have to see which players will decide to play mixed doubles, but with two wins you get two chances to medal, therefore I think a lot of top players will be tempted to play.

Yeah, am aware of that. As for COC, I guess they will apply and see. Depends who will wanna play. But Machac is ranked 967th in doubles???. So I would be a bit sceptical. But let's see. Siniakova No.2 in doubles, Machac No.144 in singles. If they make it, probably as ome of the last couples....

I agree with this opinion. But their combined ranking should be 146 which gives them descent chances. Let's see. Anyways, can 2 pair from 1 country enter mixed doubles?

As far as I know yes. In Rio there were 2 USA pairs in the top 3

Yes. 146 is way too high for mixed doubles though. The highest combined ranking to ever qualify for a non-host or continental spot was 58.

Yes, a country can have up to two mixed doubles pairs. With 146 combined ranking though, will be very hard to make it. Probably anything more than 60 will not be enough, as long as every available pair registers to play.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      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."
