    Yeah, thought she might even press for bronze for a second, but she faded badly.

     

    Basically, O'Croinin improved her time from the morning a bit and everything else stayed about the same. The subs didn't add anything. Oh well, they'll have Summer and a hopefully back in form Oleksiak for Paris. 

    Any chance we could have Summer swim two legs of the relay? :p

    According to Wikipedia Olin got the reallocated Pan Am qualifier. Also I don't think Huscenot is eligible to qualify through world games due to France already having host and 2023 EU world games quota. 

    A different Olin got the Pan Am quota.

  3. Considering Australia has multiple cricket stadiums I do hope they increase the team size to 12 for this edition.

     

    While India is the big prize, the rest of South Asia is quite populous and is relatively weak in the current Olympic program so from a marketing perspective it would be quite beneficial to the IOC for them to be here.

     

    Expansion also allow nations with little to no team sport representation to qualify. Right now it is likely :AUS:GBR:NZL:RSA would qualify in a 6-team tournament so the "exotic" feel cricket has would be lost. After those four nations the only major decent ones are the Netherlands and Ireland (which is already pushing it).

  4. Yeah, it's more likely that :AUS:NZL athletes are based in Europe so it is actually cheaper for them to travel to Hungary. I don't really know any other Oceania nations which compete in rhythmic gymnastics.

     

    Having the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships at the World Championships makes sense because weightlifting is quite popular in the Pacific, but most of those nations are quite poor and are unlikely to afford the cost of traveling to two events.

    Swimming is my favourite sport since forever, i have been following this sport since the amazing Sydney 2000 games and the great Ian Thorpe, and have even went to Budapest in 2017 only to be able to watch a WC live for the first time, and, with the poor support and attention this sport has in my country, I never thought I could live to see the day my anthem would play in the World Championship.

     

    Congratulations. Hopefully he can improve in his other events. Perhaps he can be a medal threat at the Olympics this year or even in 2028.

  6. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but Slovenia needs either one more person to get an OQT or qualify another relay or else they are at risk of losing the  relay quota. This is because they have only qualified one woman and qualifying one relay only gives you 2 relay-only athletes so they won't have enough athletes to form a relay.

     

    Same thing with Serbia on the men's side.
