Actually in the end the male open water swimmers selected won't compete in the pool. So we have 34 in the pool events (18 men + 16 women) and 4 in Open Water (2 each gender), but Viviane Jungblut will also compete in the pool so that equals 37 athletes (the list is in this post). Brazil could have opted to send 2 more female athletes but the level isn't great.

the Summer is coming , the beach is ready

After 2 goal denied for off-side, 1 clear penalty not given.. Italy finally score the 2nd goal!

what a drama Korea-Senegal QF. Korea equalized in 90+7 minute. then took the lead but Senegal did the same in 120th minute. and penalties were full of drama. we have Korea, Ecuador and Italy in semifinal. those 3 names together comes one name to my mind. Byron Moreno !

Anyone hyped about the new episode?

Well. A few points about the Danish election wednesday. 1: The anti immigration parties lost... or did they? The 3 parties focusing the most on immigration didn't do very well. The Danish Peoples Party lost 21 of their 37 seats, the slightly more right wing The New Right only just managed to get it taking 4 seats (but as a new party getting elected is hard itself) while Hard Line, the most extreme of the parties, didn't manage to get elected being 0,2 % below the threshold. But 20 of the 21 seats lost by DPP was gained by parties who have moved to a more sceptical position on immigration. But with Liberal Alliance losing 9 seats, it seems like the more pro-immigration parties gained a bit of ground with especially the Social-liberal party and the socialist people's party gaining 15 seats. This will also be one of the main struggles when it comes to a new government as all parties of the red block are more positive than the expected governing party, the Social Democrats. 2: The tendencies from the EP-election kept on. The parties who won the election, The liberal party, The social-liberal party, the socialist peoples party and the conservative party who had the best results were the ones gaining the most in the national parliament. The red-green alliance surprisingly lost a mandate after looking like a winner for a long time. 3: Government could be far away. The members f te "red block" could very well have a long summer holiday of negotiations. The 3 major struggles could very well be retirement, economy and immigration. It will be tough and a worst case scenarion could be another election in less than half a year, while another scenario could be the Social Democrats using the Liberal Party, maybe even talking about a government with them (I doubt this will happen). They sound positive so far, but it will be tough. And as a side note, two good friends of mine were elected, including Katrine Robsøe who I did quite a bit of campaigning for!

I'm watching "X-Men Apocalypse" the movie begins with this scene of Pharaohs the Dutch language

Good. I'm happy that Canada will qualify (for a change).

and the clean sweep is complete! the lovely Janja does it again and now she's the first ever climber (male or female, it doesn't matter) to win all the competitions of a single discipline in an entire season...

I'm surprised by Italy's win as well, not that they are a bad team, but because I thought Australia had the potential to reach semifinals (and maybe still has). I'm fearful for Brazil at the next match.

England won 2nd penalties in a major event in a row ! wow...hell must have frozen over

Well I just like the attitude of Europe is people who aren’t us suck, until they help us win a World Cup, then those few are cool.

Yes, I think more than one should make it to the freestyle. Interestingly, all of the selected combinations are based in Mexico. On paper, Mexico should have an upper hand over Brazil among the big tour combinations. Del Valle could be particularly valuable, as she has been knocking on the 70% mark recently. Small tour portion is harder to predict, but it could probably go either way compared to Brazilian rivals for the team bronze and an Olympic spot...

Women's 100 metres Laura Müller 11,15 in Rehlingen: https://laportal.net/Competitions/CurrentList/129039/1957 By the way, here are live results for the meeting: https://laportal.net/Competitions/Details/1957 There's quite a good field for such a comparatively small Meeting, not only from Germany but also international.

The audience for this match on Globo (biggest open channel in brazilian TV, which is showing Women's WC for the first time ever) is 34 points so far - almost three times better than the usual for Sunday morning. Second channel in audience with 5 points is also broadcasting the match.

Anybody who even comes up with those 'innovative' pieces of horse shit should go with them. So what, football fans are now going to watch athletics because there's 'quarter finals' in the long jump? Or because race walkers aren't going for 50km but only 20km now? Or millions of new people are gonna watch the Diamond League because they won't run further than 3km anymore? Fuck that shit.

Anybody who uses the word "innovative" for this should be sent to jail for 30 days...

Australia vs Italy match great so far, but I'm already thinking how much Brazil is gonna suffer in this group

yes, today only 2 weight classes are on stage, so they start a little later than the previous days...

by the way, this new attitude towards the goalkeepers during the execution of any penalty shot (and the chance to support it through the VAR) is really annoying... they're just making a lot of injustice and taking most of the excitement off... basically, if the goalkeeper doesn't anticipate where the shot is going and start a fraction before the ball is actually hit, there's no chance to even imagine to stop a well placed penalty shot...you can only sit in the middle of the goal and hope that your rival throws the ball out of the stadium by himself (or attempts a silly shot in the middle of the goal, so to be already there to stop it without a single move)... I'm very much against this "evolution", take the VAR away from this kind of evaluation!

what about karate , Taekwondo , weightlifting , fencing , modern pentathlon , judo , boxing , rowing , swimming , rugby , Canoeing , Shooting , Wrestling , Triathlon , Handball , football ? btw every European country is depending on africans in many sports , for example without Africans France and GB wouldn't have been world class coutries in sport as long as USA , Canada and many others

Karma is bitch

TF1 Group no longer owns Eurosport, mind you. The previous tournament's rights were secured when that was still the case. Discovery owns ES now and they're shut out by FOX in USA, TF1 in France & BBC in the UK. Case closed.

Marquez got to meet Wierer, how cool for him

That would be easily reachable in the old days. Today we're lucky if Brazil goes beyond the first round.
