I find it fascinating that big Western countries are unable to send larger teams because they don't have the money. Like, we are nowhere near the GDP of Italy or Germany, but if we could we would send "everyone". :d Or maybe I am wrong, it's not like we will ever get to test if there are limits to the Hungarian Olympic budget, the size of our Olympic team is shrinking, not growing, even 200+ seems like a distant memory for us at this point.

Gregorio Paltrinieri got mononucleosis...   most likely, he's going to miss the Olympics, but even if he pulls out a miracle and recovers in time, he will be chanceless in terms of medals...

To whom it may concern, (and for the first time in a while I write this sentence not to start a cover letter), here is a very brief recap of swimming qualification after some events took place. Please

As as I know, the USOPC generally fulfills all or the vast majority of the quotas. The only times I can remember the US giving up quotas is when we pass the limit allowed. The USOPC has/used to have a dumb policy about not sending athletes in non-Olympic sports at the YOG, but maybe that’s changed since we sent SkiMo athlete to Lausanne 2020.

probably they already know that SkiMo will become an Olympic discipline very soon (2026) and they're trying to be among the participants in the first ever SkiMo Olympic event...

it's a different consideration of what sport means in each Country...

 

here, it's just the last thing to think about...and no government wants to spend any money on that (they just give a miserable contribution only because they are morally forced to do it, but especially parties like the 5 Star Movement and/or any lefty group would even close our NOC down, if they could :yikes: :facepalm:)...

 

our politicians are always ready to appear on tv and newspapers with our sport champions, but they are also always ready to hit them from behind when needed, especially when it comes to funding...

 

it's not a coincidence that during this pandemic period the only truly locked down activity is amateur sport (and also some pro sports have been basically stopped for almost a year, like all the fighting sports)...

we could make a challenge...come here in Italy and try to find an open gym and/or swimming pool...if you can...

 

this is how they think about the future of our youngsters and of our sport movement in general...

:NED Eindhoven Qualification Meet

 

200m backstroke

 

2.09:72 Sharon van Rouwendaal

2.10:02 Kira Toussaint

 

Toussaint initially didn't want to participate in the 200m, but she is quoted in the Dutch news article about the 200m: "I had a bet with my coach. I jokingly told him: if I swim the Olympic standard, I'll paint your eyebrows. So that's going to happen today."

 

There is also an interesting battle going on for the 50m freestyle (w) ticket. The backstory is Femke Heemskerk missed the previous qualification meet due to quarantine and for a long time it wasn't certain if there would be another chance for Heemskerk. Valerie van Roon qualified behind Kromowidjojo in the previous tournament. Now Heemskerk has already beaten Van Roon's time in the series, finals are later today.

Any news on their plan B on how they will decide their Olympic team?

Probably they will pick who has the standard.

What quotas specifically did the USOPC give up?

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ?
