Top times in the period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2024
 
They’re listed on the Road to Paris site

A major boost to Wiffen's medal chances too

That would be an issue if World Rugby actually wanted 15s to grow. They don't. It's a closed party, with personnal interests and historical biases deterring newcomers from coming in.

Given the world series is only 12 teams I really don't think the Olympics needs to be any bigger than that.

As it stands, these are the top nations by time that haven’t qualified yet
 
Women’s 4x100m
Spain - 42.85 
China - 43.03

Brazil - 38.19 
Trinidad & Tobago - 38.30 
 
Women’s 4x400m:

Nigeria - 3:27.29 
 
Men’s 4x400m:

Meanwhile…
 
Rhasidat 

They do, but they’re behind Trinidad & Tobago on the world athletics list, so they’ll have to go faster 

Presumably down to 1/1000ths
 
But I’d imagine it won’t matter either way with improvements to come before the end of June

Don’t think it’s a stupid rule at all.  Prevents teams from targetting the easier repechage route.

What a finish by Liberia. Wow

“Foreign lass” “world feed”
 
hmm

Mixed (same as yesterday)
 
Greene > Adeleke > Barr > Mawdsley
 
Womens 
 
Healy > Harrison > Cadden > Becker
 
Harrison and Cadden come in. Healy moves from 3 to 1, Becker moves from 1 to 4. 
 
They’ve said that only change was permitted for mixed so they decided not to make any

We are underfunded compared to most countries. Ridiculously so. In general our facilities are atrocious. 
 
Our biggest stars are being developed outside our systems (bar boxing and rowing where the worldwide pools are shallow enough)

Yeah. The lists were a little off for the mixed. The Netherlands only had 4 listed and neither of the women were Bol or Klavar who both ran

What a day for  so far!! 2 tickets!! So happy for you  @OlympicIRL @dodge

Her first would have been quicker if she didn’t have to swing out to lane 6 for the handover…
