Sure about Finland in the 49er FX? Looking at the standings it's Denmark in 10th taking the last quota.

We're none the less talking about a boat costing millions of dollars (I've seen both 4 and 6 million mentioned). Way too expensive for most nations. Nacra 17 was said to be expensive when it changed to the foiling version, but it's nowhere near close. I enjoy SailGP, but it's a commercial event. If you try getting it into the Olympics it's just gonna be the same 5-8 power houses and no changes at all. Doing that at the cost of other events would be a disaster.

Can't say that I've followed them in this event.

Not that I would mind it, but you got a couple of doubles

I'm in no way an expert, but I see no way that something nearly as big as the F50 ever makes it into the Olympics. I wouldn't mind some match-racing back, but that's gonna be with a crew of 2 or 3. The F50 would be extremely exclusive, expensive and would take a lot more from the boat park!

They have 4 para sailing events as well

Would say that optimist is the main entry level boat. But the ILCA classes are the most contested. It is cheaper than the other classes and the one-design rules also helps the universality. Unless a new "universality class" is made, I don't see it cut in the future. Killing 470 would mean killing history, but it has been done with both Star and Finn. Wouldn't be surprised if that's coming in the future.

Can't say about kite, but I personally prefer Olympic sailing to America's cup.

It certainly feels like the writer forgot all about Majdalani/Bosco

You haven't used clip in pedals if you haven't done that Meanwhile things are going nicely for me. I've registered for a half marathon on sep 30. It has about 50% less altitude meters (the one I've done is semi-hilly in Danish perspective) and it feels possible for a decent PB. Right now I'm focusing on a pace of 5:18 per km meaning just below 1:52.

Thank you Poland for securing the Danish silver!

Sounds like there are protests due to the scoring. Niklas Larsen tells that before the final sprint he thought he was in 3rd place due to the scoring table (but it's not Denmark with the protests). Pretty scandalous!

The graphics is a mess during this points race!

Added some nice tickets as well. The late handball session on the 27th where I expect to arrive, the swimming finals on the 1st, which does have 2 potential Danish finals badminton singles semi finals on the 4th, both athletics sessions on the 5th (with mens pole vault as my main event) the late quarter final in men's basket. Guess that's most likely USA? Getting pretty close to a full schedule. No tickets yet on the 31st, but will most likely watch triathlon in the morning. Could add a later ticket that day or the 3rd or 4th.

I believe it's just this batch that's entirely outside Paris. There's some talk about more coming the 27th.

I'll join in on updating the predictions for Denmark Archery: Still feels like we will have 0 participants, but the women are absolutely not out of contention - 0 Artistic Swimming: We have some participants internationally, but no! - 0 Athletics: It has been a tough year so far, but we do have a bunch of potential qualifiers. I don't think anybody will make the standards though Mette Graversgaard and Kathrine Koch do have a chance. Without injuries we still have a decent shot at a 4x100 relay or both. Several strong athletes are on the way back from injuries (Lobo Vedel, Karstoft, Ibler and Møller). Hopefully some of those are ready during the late summer. A decent amount with outside chances as well. I'm going a bit lower than originally, but we could very well end up higher - 11 Badminton: A good start for the mixed doubles make me feel decently comfortable that they will qualify. The women's doubles are still pretty uncertain, but I believe they will make it. Still strongly think we'll have 2 men's singles and one in each of women's singles and men's doubles - 9 Basketball: No chance - 0 Beach Volleyball: Seems very unlikely - 0 Boxing: Terteryan made it. I think he will be the only one, but there are chances for more. - 1 Breaking: The only chance for us is Rico Coker (Zoopreme) getting his Danish citizenship in time for the Qualifier series. I doubt it, but who knows? - 0 Canoeing - Slalom: No chance - 0 Canoeing - Sprint: Certainly feels like the women's K4 should make it again. If not we will see a K2 and K1. The men's K4 and K2 have outside chances. - 6 Cycling - BMX: Malene Kejlstrup is doing an amazing job that may end up giving us 2 spots in the women's race. The men's may get one spot, but it will most likely need a good result in the Worlds. - 2 Cycling - Mountain Bike: It feels very much like the women will get 2 spots while the men really need to find a higher level if we want 2 riders. I think we'll stay at the 3 - 3 Cycling - Road: There can't be much doubt that the men will get the maximum 4 quotas and I think they will secure a TT-spot no. 2 at the Worlds. The women are struggling, but with a good summer the 3rd quota is within reach. But it feels like they'll have to do with 2. - 6 Cycling - Track: Seems pretty certain that we will get the same as in Tokyo. - 7 Diving: Still far off. - 0 Equestrian: Dressage team qualified and we already seem certain to get a spot in the jumping. Good chance in eventing as well - 5 Fencing: Unlikely but you never know in the qualifying event - 0 Field Hockey: I think we still don’t have an outdoor national team. - 0 Football: The U-21 team is out and the Women needs to outperform themselves. Unlikely but not impossible - 0 Golf: Not much doubt that we will get 2 each - 4 Gymnastics - Artistic: Camille Rasmussen feels like a pretty likely qualifies - 1 Gymnastics - Rhythmic: Still no chance - 0 Gymnastics - Trampoline: Benjamin Salo Kjær had potential but a bad injury has taken him out of contention. Guess that means no Danes. - 0 Handball: Feels like we should qualify both teams this time. - 28 Judo: Mathias Madsen has done pretty well so far, but there's a long way to go. Lærke Olsen is in the fight as well. i think it will be one place, but it could be both 2 and 0 - 1 Modern Pentathlon: We have one serious athlete but the Olympics feels a bit too far away, especially without equestrian - 0 Rowing: Sverri Nielsen is back in great shape. The women’s four seems like a pretty safe bet as well and both pairs are strong. Some smaller chances in other classes. - 9 Rugby Sevens: Nah - 0 Sailing: ILCA 6, 49er and 49er FX feels pretty certain to qualify. We have a decent Nacra 17 and Lærke Buhl has a pretty good shot in IQ foil as well. Small chances in ILCA 7 and men’s IQ foil. We may see something in the men’s IQ foil, laser or kite, but all are questionable. - 8 Shooting: We have one rifle quota. I still expect at least one in men’s skeet and we have chances for more in women’s rifle, men’s air pistol and men’s skeet. - 3 Skateboarding: Sounds like Glifberg will not be going for the Olympics even though he is decently ranked so far. Solmunde is showing potential. There’s a decent shot, but I think we will be just outside. - 0 Sport Climbing: Very questionable - 0 Surfing: Not gonna happen - 0 Swimming: Pernille Blume stopped and we’re only sending 5 swimmers to the World Championships. A few others have a shot and I think the Olympic squad will be larger, but not by much - 7 Table Tennis: Anders Lind had a great start to the qualification and Jonathan Groth shows potential once again. We should at least qualify one, but 2 is not out of reach - 1 Taekwondo: We won’t be getting anything through the rankings, but both Hyttel and Hrnic have the potential to make it. It will be hard but certainly not impossible - 0 Tennis: Holger Rune seems pretty sure if he doesn’t get injured. I think Tauson will make it high enough as well. Wozniacki is the best chance for a 3rd player, but I have no idea whether she is back at the necessary level - 2 Triathlon: Alberte Kjær is pretty close to certain while Emil Holm also seems to be well on the way. Both Anne Holm and Oscar Gladney seems to be a bit outside and even very unsafe when it comes to the necessary ranking for a relay spot. - 2 Volleyball: We’re far away - 0 Water Polo: Ditto. - 0 Weightlifting: The European Championships didn’t seem like the success necessary to have a chance. It’s not gone, but I don’t think they’ll make it. - 0 Wrestling: Turpal Bisultanov finally got the citizenship but is injured meaning that he will miss the World Championships. There are still high hopes for his chances, but there’s no time to waste. - 1 Total Sports: 21 Optimistic Total Athletes: 130 Realistic Total Athletes: 117 Pessimistic Total Athletes: 75

Wouldn't be the first time that EBU has streaming online while have broadcasts in different nations

There's still https://europeangames.tv/

Just did my second (official) half marathon. The last month has been pretty damn tough and I didn' even feel certain that I would end up on the start line, but I did with an expectation of 2:05-2:10. Felt much better during the run and only really struggled for the last 3 KM meaning that I got around in 2:01.28, just above 3 minutes slower than my PB. Certainly makes me consider going for another half marathon later in the year to beat that PB.

And is beating right now

The Danish Olympic Committee say that there will be straming online on https://europeangames.tv/ (the site is still not online). Don't know how it will be when it comes to geoblocking.
