Texas Tech Corky/Crofoot Shootout - Lubbock, Texas, United States April 26-27, 2024 Full Results Men’s 200m Tapiwanashe Makarawu

Less notable of a result and likely won’t qualify for Paris, but watch out for decathlete Cole Wilson in the future. At the Bryan Clay Invitational he demolished his previous PB of 6835 points, tallying 7431 pts (he’s only 21 years old too)! That’s almost a 600 point increase.

Now, honestly, can Zachová be another medal candidate in Paris together with Krpálek? 😁

Canucks win game three after defeating the Predators 2-1, and now lead 2-1 on the series! Really nerve wracking last couple of minutes with the Predators applying lots of pressure, but DeSmith gets his first career playoff win stopping 30/31 shots!

So regarding the selection criteria in fencing: If a team qualifies for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as per the guidelines of the FIE Olympic Qualification System, the three fencers who have earned the highest number of HPP ranking points (best 7 of 9 results by HPP ranking points, with a minimum of 4 senior world cups being counted) at FIE Senior World Cups, Senior World Championships, and Grand Prix competition between April 3, 2023 to April 30, 2024 will be selected to the Olympic Team. So Gu was in the top 3?? Here is the rankings

MILLSY ON THE POWERPLAY SCORES ON THE CANUCKS FIRST SHOT OF THE GAME TO GIVE THE CANUCKS A 1-0 LEAD WITH 6:37 LEFT IN THE 1ST PERIOD!!!

Texas Results M LJ Jacob Fincham-Dukes equals his PB with 8.08 but it's not a legal wind then comes back in the last round to win the event with a legal wind PB of 8.20 W200 Dina Asher-Smith looks fantastic with an easy win in 22.29

I was doing some calculating a few months back and it became obvious the men's double badminton pair never really had a shot at qualifying even though they were showing in a qualifying spot. The reason being that many pairs from other nations had not yet competed in enough events to gather points and it was clear that over the course of the next few months they would move clearly ahead. I am a bit worried too about our rowing and boxing teams, neither seem to be hitting the Olympic year in ideal form. For rowing, I am sure just like last year they will improve greatly in the coming months, but I was secretly hoping we could see some major breakthroughs and push for another gold from another crew outside of the lightweight men's double. It can all still come together of course, I think as fans we are just looking for those signs that this summer will be a good one. The boxing team, since Rio 2016 I go into each Olympics expecting absolutely nothing and anything is a bonus. But still the start to this year has not been good at all. Anything can still happen in Paris though, good or bad but it's unlikely we will get a haul of boxing medals.

Adela Piskorska - 100 back - 59.92 - OQT at Polish Championships today she already had OQT in 200 back

@heywooduPolish is actually the language with the biggest usage of letter "Z" in the world (mainly thanks to our fancy digraphs "cz", "sz" and "rz" ). "Z" also means "with" or "from" so it's a common preposition too. Second most popular language using "z" is probably Hungarian.

SO, AS A SUMMARY: Mens IQFOIL: + ENP + Reallocation DNP Men's Kite: Men's ILCA7: + ENP Men's 49er: + Reallocation DNP Womens IQFOIL: + ENP + Reallocation DNP Women's Kite: Women's ILCA6: + ENP Women's 49er: + Reallocation DNP Mixed 470: Mixed Nacra 17 : + Reallocation DNP In my opinion, Developing Nations Programe is useless. Excluding Hong Kong, it just gave quotas to big countries. If it wasnt there, Peru or Singapore would qualify boats. An those are countries, in my opinion, much more worthy of a Developing Nations than Japan or Switzerland.
