Nigeria and Iran to the Olympics

You may not know this, but here's an interesting story about Tijana Boskovic. She was born in Bosnia (Republica Srpska) and when she was junior Turkish federations and one club wanted to see her and her family in Turkey. They offered them citizenship and great conditions ( it was a huge sum of money), BUT her father who is Serb rejected that.

that China's TO in last 5 seconds against Poland. that's when everything started to happen in favor of Iran. our chance was close to zero before that game. sorry for Tunisia. they wasted their chance against Puerto Rico and that actually helped us. Nigeria wouldn't beat China if they had no reason for that.

Singapore in diving (also their first athlete qualified for Tokyo).

Just saying... Cuba won the NORCECA men's championship. They defeated the A team of Canada and the B team of USA. They even had visa problems to enter Canada and because of that they only played with 9 players! Roberlandy Simón returned to the team for this competition. Hopefully we will see a few more returns soon. Really promising in perspective for the olympic qualifier.

I can finally cross "Watch a sports event from West Virginia" from my bucket list.

I was hoping for a Serbia win to avoid them but after watching Spain in this level I think it's the same. Anyway, Serbia wasn't really that bad, they just forgot their 3P% at the hotel.

I'm too happy Iran back after Beijing in 2008

Netherlands / India / Germany vs. Pakistan / Austria / Russia* GBR / Spain / New Zealand / Canada vs. Malaysia / France / Ireland / Korea * Egypt decided to withdraw

@heywoodu pretty much resides in the Dutch Kentucky.

well I don't consider them "victim" I think this format is designed to help China. everything was in their favor. they just didn't use it and gifted it to Iran. it's kind of funny we qualified to the Olympics only by beating Philippines and Angola ! btw you guys probably can't imagine how huge is basketball in China (they won several medals in other sports but basketball is something different for them) before 2004 it was always very easy for them to qualify. but after losing the Asian Champs final in 2009 (and after Yao's retirement) they found out they don't dominate the Asian basketball anymore. since then they always hosted the Olympics qualifiers . 2012, 2016 and 2020. they did everything in their power (and i mean everything) to qualify in men's basketball. I have absolutely nothing against the Chinese sport in general but I'm glad their men's basketball failed to qualify and not only because it's Iran in their place, I would say the same if it was any other Asian team.

Raduljica is not playing serious basketball for like 4 years now at least. Coach loves him because he's good for the team, but I love the team too and still I don't play in China now.

Fumić should work on his lead-out skills.

Still, no other player in the world deserves it more than her

Awesome all nine wins

Which, to be fair, is also more than excellent. And I missed Claudio for the downhills in Canada

My heart, my heart YAAAAAAAAAS

Lately I feel like FAB has completely given up on the men's team and is focusing everything on the Sánchez sisters.

Well, China will probably end up being the biggest victim of this nonsense qualification system. I'm happy that this nonsense backfired on FIBA. Edit: to clarify, I am not happy that China got robbed because I have anything against the Chinese team. I am happy China got robbed because this is clearly a worst case scenario for FIBA, and they deserve it after designing such a stupid and unfair qualification system.

Use 92

More competitors are usually competing in the M K1 + there 40 paddlers in the M K1 semifials while in the other categories only 30 athletes qualify for the semifinals usually at the major events.

China fails to qualify for the first time in their Olympic history.

What’s a motorsport?

Meni je jako drago sto cemo mi sa Argentinom igrati. Znaci mora da se vidi realno stanje tima, a ne da se racunaju mecevi protiv smesnih ekipa. Sta mi znaci sto cemo da dobijemo Poljsku sa +30 kad bi nas posle mozda odrali Aus ili Fra. Ovako cemo videti gde smo mi zapravo i koliko su tacne one prognoze FIBA a i ljudi u Srbiji. Ja i dalje mislim da je to otislo predaleko i da preterujemo.

We need an angry reaction.

Ako je moralo ovo da se desi, neka bude pre KO faze Šamar je stigao u pravo vreme, videćemo hoće li uroditi plodom.

Considering this was his first ever shorttrack win, one would think so, yes

Charlessssss!!! Ferrari back to win in Monza after 9 fu****g years!

Great, enjoy the trip. Prague is a wonderful city. I wish you enjoy that.

FINA has always been terrible

Yes, it is him.. I dunno why Gwangju 2019 listed him as "Shan"

come on serbia, spain is so slow

At HT Nigeria +4 and Iran +14 for now both with olympic quota.

Nur Dhabitah Sabri won the quota in the women's 3m springboard

no idea...probably she doesn't care that much about the Olympics, she's just interested in her Pro/WSL career (and for that, as an Australian she has more advantage than being from NED)...

France is obvious...but the other 3...where do they come from? then, it's true...the world is not anymore the one we used to know...

Or (If she prefers women ) the spanish football player, Ana Buceta. It's the same problem in Portuguese.

NZ have qualified for the Olympics. Beating Australia in the 3 match Olympic qualifying series by a goal difference of +1. NZ won 3-1, Aus won 3-2 and a 1-1 draw. The new coach has already done wonders when I thought they had no chance.

CZECH REPUBLIC Archery: Currently there is nobody capable to qualify to Tokyo. Artistic Swimming: Czech Women's Team Czech synchronized swimming has been forming a young talented team which might succeed to qualify for Tokyo 2020. The first chance is that they finish 1st - 7th place at the World Aquatics championship 2019 in South Korea. If so, they will qualify team and automatically also a duet. The second chance would be at the 2020 Final Olympic qualifying tournament, where will be given other 3 spots for teams. Czech Women's Duet If Czech women's qualifies, automatically is qualified also duet. If not, there are other ways how to qualify a duet. First, Czech duet would have to place at the first position of non-qualified countries at the 2019 European champions Cup. Last chance would be at the final Olympic qualifying tournament, where will compete countries which will have not qualified any swimmers. There will be selected other 7 duets to compete at the Olympics.

Three of the teams will come from runners-up in the qualifying events above (second place in Africa/Europe, second and third places in Americas). Two more spots in this event will be granted to the best two finishers in the 2019 Asian Baseball Championship that have not already qualified for the Olympics.

Basketball: Czech Men's Basketball Team How to qualify: Czech team qualified after long 37 years to World Championships, which will be in 2019 in China. They can directly qualify to Olympics from there. No matter what place they will rank, they have to be at most second best European team. This will give them certainty to participate Tokyo 2020. If they will not succeed, there will be four tournaments of Olympic qualification to Tokyo 2020. Each tournament will participate 6 teams and only winner can make it to Olympics. Regarding Czech team qualified for the world championships and if they did not succeed to qualify directly to Olympics, they would probably have sure participation at the Olympic qualifying tournament. Czech Women's Basketball Team The only way to qualify for Czech Female team is to succeed in one fo the Olympic qualifying events, which will be held in 2020. Places and dates haven't been established. To earn spot at the Olympic qualifying tournament, Czech female basketball must place on 1st to 6th sport at Women's EuroBasket 2019.

OK, I must admit, the security of VIPs here is very good, but the most VIP among the VIPs is really a nice man. One would say "a good fellow", but I always have a respect to the monarchy - that's why I don't have my cap on at this picture:

As far as I can tell (no name was said) won the quota in the men's 3m springboard. Chew Yiwei and Ooi Tze Liang won silver and bronze respectively. No scores were listed. If anyone has more information it would be helpful.

Important matches for Nigeria and Iran tommorow. Good luck for both.

Soon...there will be no escape... TISC #13 Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2019 Coming this September... Are you ready?

If they only had the best 12 at the Olympics there wouldn't be any Asian or African teams . Still I don't have much sympathy for European and Americas teams who don't qualify . They aren't in the top 3 from their continent at the qualifying tournament ( the World Cup ) so they can't complain too much about lost medal opportunities Still the Olympics are meant to be global .at least in participation I have a real problem with the Winter Olympics claiming to be some sort of global event where many events really are only seriously undertaken in a few European countries ( And furthermore if they weren't an Olympic event wouldn't even exist outside even fewer countries eg luge ) No country south of the Tropic of Cancer - ie most of the world's people - ever features
