Another tennis player, what a surprise. Btw, are you paid by some NOlympics movement to post this stuff all over the intenet every day or did you only join this forum to conduct a sort of social experiment, trying to gauge people's reactions ? If it's the latter, I think you should pay us as participants in your study

oh well. no this is still complicated see that's another thing I should consider when I make the list. some of these athletes are banned but their names are still there. she just participated at the Pan American Champs. that should be something very new so that makes the quota almost a sure thing for Montero but if she qualifies in top 8 (which is possible) another Brazilian Luana Madeira will qualify instead.

that's the main problem but some countries are about to face suspension. Romania, Vietnam are almost a sure thing. Colombia maybe. and we still don't know if PRK participates or not. and some weightlifters may qualify in more than one weight (Brandhuber (GER) and Han (KOR)) we also don't know what they are going to do.

Colombia event didn't make a change in the ranking for 61kg. we had two weightlifters here trying to improve their rankings (from CUB and ESP) but they both failed. from what I saw the African Championships won't make a difference and the only weightlifter in the World Juniors who can make a change is Ruiu (ITA). still it's impossible to make a list of qualified weightlifters, so many variables. but these guys are 100% safe Irawan (Top 8) Mishvelidze (Top 8) Baru (Oceania) Garcia (Pan America) Andriantsitohaina (Africa) I believe these guys will be selected as well Li Itokazu the remaining 6 quotas will be between these countries @Federer91 do you have any idea about two Bulgarian weightlifters in Tokyo ? I see 3 or maybe 4 guys eligible to qualify. Grozdev (61), Andreev (67), Hristov (109) and maybe Beytula (73) ?

You can scratch from that race as they received an Olympic boat quota reallocated after the recent Asian Qualifier. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the process was: Natalya Sergeyeva won AQ WK1 500 -> boat quota goes to Inna Klinova won AQ WK1 200, but already has WK1 quota (as above) Yuka Ono finished 2nd behind Klinova -> boat quota goes to Host country WK1 500 boat quota is reallocated to best-placed 2019 WCh country not already qualified ( since Rebeka Simon was 7th) Also, the Szeged regatta startlist & results (Euro Qualifier & World Cup 1) are available here.

European Team Championships which will be held in Chorzów (the same stadium on which were World Relays earlier this month) between May 29th-30th will take place with spectators. 7500 people will be able to attend daily.

Shit is about to hit the fan: one of the Hungarians had a positive doping test from the Delhi World Cup. We don't know yet who's the athlete, it can be anyone who participated there, including Peni and Sidi.

Speak of the devil ... here are the pools : Women's : Pool A : Pool B : Pool C : 2 spots up for grabs. Russia and France probably n°1 and 2 but having France in pool C is quite strange since the n°3 is usually drawn in this pool. It really was a draw, so full coincidence.The two european teams shouldn't face each other before the final though, being in pool A and C. Had they been drawn in pool B and C, one of them would be eliminated, which is total nonsense. Men's : Pool A : Pool B : It appears China has withdrawn too. Don't know the format, maybe quarter-finals, maybe straight semi-finals. Samoa seeded 1. 5 teams per pool so 2 matchs maximum in the last round.

Today is The Day. All of Belgium has taken the day off or, in case their boss didn't allow it, quit their jobs. Today is the day when He will grab power and never let go for the next fifteen years. Anything less than a majestic victory for Him and Belgium will go back in mourning. The hypetrain has been unstoppable for almost four years now, but any chance of braking the train will be gone after today.

M1x Top Two Finish to Qualify Daire Lynch W4- Top Two Finish to Qualify Fiona Murtagh Eimear Lambe Aifric Keogh Emily Hegarty LW2x Top Three Finish to Qualify Margaret Cremen Aoife Casey That’s the squad for the qualifier. They’re confident of the women’s four qualifying and hopeful for the lightweight double At the recent European championships the fours won silver. The young crew LW2x were 5th

This is one of the very few names in weightlifting I recognize from randomly reading news about the sport in Brazil. She seems to be talented, but she's apparently still very young and needs a lot more time to mature. It would be good if she could have some kind of Olympic experience now, so she can better prepare for the future.

According to this, the Oceanian Qualification Tournament has been cancelled. The quota will be allocated at the Final Qualification Tournament (to the highest ranked Oceanian athlete).

De best denkbare selectie om de Amerikaanse Chloe Dygert van het goud te houden in de wegwedstrijd.

Correct. Spain will likely qualify a team, so their duet place from the European Cup will get reallocated to either NED or GBR (not sure which, because the results site from the Cup has disappeared lol).

thanks. one problem solved technically Iran didn't refuse it. they would probably take it if they had the chance. (simply because 2>1) but two other Iranians finished 2nd in other events. and per rules Iran has to pick between M1X and W1X so that means LM2X: LW2X: M1X: W1X: the last 1X quotas are between Iran and Thailand Kuwait is the only NOC who participated at the AQT and finished the races , yet not qualified for the Olympics

There should be 3 (no medal race).

6th-9th I'd say. If they beat Sweden, they should be 6th. If not, then 7th, or lower if Australia/Portugal deliver. Still, I am pretty sure they will make it to the team finals (Top 8), considering how consistently reliable Spanish riders are under pressure (compared to some other nations).

Het is Van der Breggen, Van Vleuten, Vos en Vollering geworden. Een dreamteam kun je wel stellen volgens mij!

Men's 5000m David McNeill 13:12.82

Liechtenstein is ready, alright. Beating the likes of Switzerland and Germany is massive for them!

Some updates on eventing entry lists... Looks like Arinadtha Chavatanont is headed to Baborowko (May 27-30). She needs MER otherwise Thai team is out (and + (!) are in). Fouaad Mirza is entered for Montelibretti apparently (May 20-23). @Dolby @Fly_like_a_don No sign of CHI/ZIM so far. Carlos Lobos is presumably headed for his home event in Quillota (May 24-27). If he fails, he should have another chance at the same venue (June 18-20). Camilla Kruger has a few options (Houghton Hall, Renswoude, Millstreet), but can only enter one of them.

If Dick Pound says it then it’s safe for me to book my vacation time.

SHL, Finals, Game #5 Växjö Lakers are the SHL 2021 Champions! In game #5 they beat once again Rögle coming from behind. The hosts in fact started very well, kept an high pace and scored the opening goal towards the end of the first period. In the second stint, however, the home team took control of the game and midway through the period found the game-tying goal thanks to guess who? Pontus Holmberg, obviously! who took advantage of a power play situation. At the beginning of the 3rd period, the decisive play happened. It was Fredrik Karlström that scored the game winner with a flashy counter that surprised the entire defense of the men in white & green. When Jack Drury added another goal to Växjö's total with less than 8 minutes to play, the game (and the season) was basically over. Rögle tried the desperate mode, playing without their goalie and using 6 men to attack, but it was quite easy for the home team to score more goals with the empty net. Finally, the final whistle was blown and the party started in Växjö. Game #5: Växjö Lakers - Rögle BK 6-2 (series score: 4-1) Game #5 stats: https://stats.swehockey.se/Game/Events/545494 Highlights: https://www.shl.se/play/video/123466?provider=staylive&autoplay=1

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2021/04/india-covid-19-crisis/618691/ Why the World Should Worry About India The world’s largest vaccine producer is struggling to overcome its latest COVID-19 surge—and that’s everyone’s problem. India considered itself to be “in the endgame” of the pandemic just a few weeks ago. Now it is the global epicenter. The country recently surpassed the devastating milestone of more than 345,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, the biggest total recorded globally since the pandemic began. What is taking place in India isn’t so much a wave as it is a wall: Charts showing the country’s infection rate and death toll, which has also reached record numbers in the country, depict curves that have shot up into vertical lines. Public-health experts aren’t optimistic that they will slope down anytime soon. India’s outbreak is an enormous tragedy for its own people, but it’s also a catastrophe for the rest of the world. Ninety-two developing nations rely on India, home to the Serum Institute, the world’s largest vaccine maker, for the doses to protect their own populations, a supply now constrained by India’s domestic obligations. Meanwhile, the coronavirus is mutating. Reports of double- and even triple-mutant strains of the virus, which experts fear could be driving the country’s latest surge, have prompted concerns that what has started in India won’t end there. Despite efforts to restrict the spread of India’s new COVID-19 variant, called B.1.617, it has already been identified in at least 10 countries, including the United States and Britain. If ever there were a time for intervention, it would be now. But world leaders, who have so far only paid lip service to the need for global cooperation, have mostly been preoccupied by their own internal situations. Although this approach may have served vaccine-rich countries such as the U.S. so far, India could prove its limits. How did India, which merely a month ago thought it had seen the worst of the pandemic, get to this point? Michael Kugelman, the deputy director of the Asia program at the Washington, D.C.–based Wilson Center, told me the answer comes down to a “perfect storm” of factors that includes new and existing variants (and a lack of robust genomic sequencing to track them), a continuous stream of widely attended political rallies and religious gatherings (with no social distancing or mask wearing), and a general complacency on the part of the Indian government, which was slow to respond to a crisis in which it had prematurely claimed victory. The result has been overwhelmed hospitals, depleted oxygen supplies, morgues that have run out of space, and crematoria that are melting from near-constant use. The country surpassed 2,000 deaths a day last week—and those are just the cases that have been recorded. This time next month, that figure could rise to as high as 4,500 daily deaths, Bhramar Mukherjee, a biostatician and epidemiologist at the University of Michigan who is tracking the situation in India, told me. Others warn that it could get as high as 5,500. Though the projections vary, the conclusions are largely the same. “All the arrows are pointing to real darkness,” Mukherjee said. The situation has become so dire that the Pune-based Serum Institute, the manufacturer of the AstraZeneca vaccine and a major contributor to the COVAX initiative to provide doses to low- and middle-income countries, said it will not be able to meet its international commitments amid India’s domestic shortage. Once considered the pharmacy of the world, India is now being forced to import doses. None of the Indian government’s missteps absolve the world from caring about what happens to the country, nor should they. Beyond the obvious moral reasons are practical ones too. As I have repeatedly written before, uncontrolled outbreaks anywhere pose a threat everywhere, including vaccine-rich countries such as the United States. Perhaps the biggest concern right now, in India and elsewhere, is the threat posed by more transmissible variants and their potential ability to overcome vaccine immunity. Though virtually every known variant, including those from Britain, Brazil, and South Africa, has been identified in India, in some states the Indian strain has become the most prevalent. “It’s very similar to what we saw in Manaus,” Christina Pagel, the director of clinical operational research at University College London, told me, referring to the badly hit Brazilian city. She noted that “it’s not a coincidence that these variants are arising in populations that have developed immunity through infection.” Read: The Brazil variant is exposing the world’s vulnerability Then there’s the issue of vaccine supply. India’s role as a major pharmaceutical producer has been spotlighted during the pandemic; it has provided 20 percent of the world’s generic drugs as well as more than 60 percent of the world’s vaccines, despite having inoculated just 1 percent of its own population against COVID-19.* The country has the capacity to manufacture 70 million doses a month, but even with all of those doses directed toward its domestic needs, they’re not enough to meet the overwhelming demand. At present, India is administering some 3 million doses a day. To protect its population of 1.4 billion, Mukherjee said that rate would need to increase threefold. Donating doses directly to countries that need them, including India, is a nonstarter for many countries. Most of those that have vaccines don’t have enough of them, and those with an immense surplus, such as the United States, aren’t yet confident enough in their supply to part with the excess. But these countries can help in other ways. The first is by lifting export controls on the raw materials that are used to produce vaccines. This is what the CEO of the Serum Institute asked of the Biden administration weeks ago. On Sunday, the U.S. government heeded the request, announcing that it would look to immediately provide the raw materials necessary to help India produce the AstraZeneca vaccine, locally known as Covishield, as well as other medical supplies. The British and German governments also pledged their support. Another option is for countries to support the appeal, put forward by India and South Africa, for the World Trade Organization to temporarily relax patent rights related to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments so that they can be manufactured, without fear of being sued, by countries that are still struggling to inoculate their populations. More than 70 former world leaders and 100 Nobel Prize laureates have appealed to the Biden administration to back the waiver, as have several U.S. lawmakers. “If we want to restore America’s global leadership in the post-Trump era, we should help other countries access the technical know-how they need to manufacture their own vaccines to fight COVID-19,” Senator Chris Murphy, one of the 10 Democratic senators who have called on the Biden administration to back the effort, told me in a statement. “It’s an easy, effective way for the United States to help.” There is a host of other ways for countries to help, irrespective of their resources. Assisting India with its sequencing is one option. Donating the oxygen the country so desperately needs is another. Though mass vaccination has provided an off-ramp from the pandemic for some countries, India is a stark reminder that, for many others, a long road lies ahead. The world is on track to record more COVID-19 deaths this year than it did in 2020. The risks of allowing current outbreaks to ravage places such as India aren’t limited to those countries alone. Emerging variants and further delays to more equitable vaccine distribution stand to affect everyone, including vaccinated populations. India’s problem is the world’s problem.

Just because a lot of people watch it when it's on air, it doesn't mean that they actually deeply care about it, to the point where they support it in the middle of a pandemic. My impression has always been that most people only tune in because it only happens every 4 years and because "it's tradition", but they can live without it, which is a big difference compared to big sport leagues like F1, Champions League, ATP/WTA tour, etc. Those are the kind of sport events people are attached to and "can't live without". I mean, for example, we don't have spectators for the Aquatics ECh, but we will have a full stadium for EURO2020, guess why. Even here where we a long tradition of supporting Olympic sports, the preferences of both the government and the citizens are clear. And apart from a very few exceptions, every country has fucked up the COVID crisis one way or another, so pretending like Japan should be above it is just silly, especially knowing that they have a high population density, which makes the situation really hard for them.

Can we stop with the narrative that the Olympics are going to be a super-spreader event and that it's a threat to the rest of the world if they're held? That's ignorant garbage. All of these athletes are going to be monitored and tested regularly, so the odds of them bringing COVID to Japan or taking it home to their own country is minimal. The much bigger issue is what it's doing to medial resources in Japan, but that's a different story altogether. Speaking as an American where we did a piss poor job handling the pandemic early on, all of our sports leagues are running now with few if any major problems related to COVID. This was after many people were saying to shut it all down because it's not safe to play sports during a pandemic. That seems pretty ridiculous now. NPB is playing through their season with fans in attendance, so obviously "we can't play sports" is not the issue. I can't speak to what's happening in Japan and why they're struggling so much while many other countries seem to have better control over the pandemic. Most countries experienced the fall wave that most experts said was going to hit, but many of those countries are seeing reduced COVID cases and not necessarily just the ones where vaccines are availalbe. We all get this is being done for TV money at this point, as is much of the sports world. Again though, we all thought Japan was the right place to be able to handle COVID and at the same time be a relatively safe location to hold the Olympics. Why is it they are no longer capable of doing both when 3 months ago that looked to be the case?

I wont stop, because, if they used half the effort from looking for excuses into actually doing effective vaccination/ preparation / coordination we wouldn't be in this situation. And this is the nation that was said for decades has biggest work ethic and discipline in the world.. If it was almost any other nation, i could understand the situation. But from the top 5 richest, perfectly organized Japan, it's not acceptable.. And of course no one cares about the Olympics, just before 4 billion people watch every single day. Happens every time. Internet filled moralists aren't the world, no matter how much they scream and cancel in 2021.

Stop with this nonsense already. It's a worldwide pandemic and it's not even just the country of Japan, it's the entire world. We don't see polling outside of Japan, but I am sure that most people in the world want the Games to be cancelled. Outside of this forum I haven't seen or talked to a single person who wants the Games to happen this year. At the very least EURO2020 have many passionate fans because people feel far more emotionally attached to football than to the Games. IOC and Totallympics are pretty much alone in this. I think Tokyo2020 will likely happen, but the worst the COVID situation gets, the brand of the Summer Games will get damaged more and more, to the point where it can have negative effects on future Olympic Games.

The Japanese government is doing a terrible job anyway. For such a rich country it's unexcusable that the vaccination rate is still so low. It's not the Olympics that cause death and harm and Japan. It's that the Japanese have barely vaccinated their people. Maybe they should stop discuss the Olympics and start giving the vaccination to the doctors.

I have uploaded the speaker failure on OK because this is one for the history books, I doubt anything like this happened at the Aquatics ECh before: https://ok.ru/video/2147581889118

Incredible solo win for Taco van der Hoorn. Not very often you get a breakaway win on Week 1 of a GT. His brother Burrito & sister Quesadilla must be delighted.

considering the Colombia event and World Juniors start list. by my count these athletes are 100% qualified. 61kg: Irawan Mishvelidze Baru (Oceania) 67kg: Ergashev Zanni Matam Munoz (Pan-America) Ioane (Oceania) 73kg: Cummings Mayora Calja Ben Hnia Wakeling (Oceania) 81kg: Pizzolato Bonnat Rejepov Maurus Suharevs Muller Mata (Europe) McTaggart (Oceania) 96kg: El-Bakh Pliesnoi Santavy Opeloge (Oceania) 109kg: Djuraev Chumak Michalski Plesnieks (at least Europe) Kitts (Pan America) Lydement (Oceania) +109kg: Talakhadze Davoudi Reis Assad Toychyyev Bidani Wilkes (Pan America) Liti (Oceania) ------------------- has to pick 4 from 61, 67, 73, 81, 96 and 109 (no chance for 109) has to pick 2 from 96, 109 and +109 (sure thing). they want 96 but not this guy currently in top 8. has to pick 2 from 61, 73, 109 (and maybe 81) may qualify in 6 weights (all except 81) 61, 73 and 96 are more likely to qualify still alive in all 7 weights! 61, 67 and 73 are almost guaranteed. 96 is more likely to get the last one has to pick 1 from 109 and +109. they have guys high in ranking in other weights too but no chance for them has to pick 1 from 61, 96, 109 and +109. (probably no chance for 61) has to pick 1 from 73, 96, 109 and +109. most likely 109 has to pick 2 and I assumed that will be 67 and 109 since both of them are medal contender

Catching up with some important, but not necessarily binding selection events... Spain - dressage - https://online.equipe.com/en/class_sections/561132 Claudio Castilla Ruiz was always going to be a lock. Looking very good Beatriz Ferrer-Salat and her new ride Elegance, who scored an impressive PB. Juan Antonio Jimenez rose to the occasion and I guess he will battle for the last spot on the team, against Jose Martin Dockx, Juan Garcia and possibly Jordi Domingo... Severo Jurado (5th individually from Rio) was absent from Madrid, but has his chance as well. Australia / New Zealand - eventing - https://www.nominate.com.au/equest/nsw/results/syd3de21/SJ_2104_CCn4-s.html A special selection event was held for AUS/NZL riders based in Oceania. Following this win (and an impressive finishing score), things are looking great for Stuart Tinney. Shane Rose did well too, but it will be tough against the Europe-based Australians (Chris Burton is a lock, but there are also Andrew Hoy and Kevin McNab). As for New Zealand, Clarke Johnstone & Balmoral Sensation (6th from Rio) withdrew before jumping, which could prove costly... Tim and Jonelle Price are surely a lock. For the final spot, it will probably be a battle between Johnstone, and Jesse Campbell, Samantha Lissington and Amanda Pottinger...

startlist for the Colombia event https://www.iwf.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2021/05/START_BOOK_VERIFICACIÓN_FINAL.pdf I have to say this list is NOT final, for example Iran has only one weightlifter traveling to Colombia while 4 are listed here. there is NOBODY from Oceania in the list. so those guys I listed before are qualified for Tokyo if they don't reject the quota

And rightfully so, one might add.

Yeah, that makes sense, banning Japan from hosting any event in any sport forever ! Damn, what an exaggeration that would be.

LITHUANIAN NATIONAL RECORD ALERT Anyways, I decided to be a little bit fancy today with this extra presentation, but today Agnė Lukoševičiūtė broke her own hammer throw record by more than 5 metres. The new Lithuanian women's hammer throw record is now 66.09m and this was the first competition for Agnė after a long covid hiatus. It also got her a huge sum of Olympic qualification points and she is actually now on the radar of athletes that could have a chance at an Olympic quota and nobody really expected that it could happen this year, but if she keeps throwing around the 66 metre mark in a few other important competitions, she really has a good shot. Edit: also, forgot to mention that this was historically the weakest discipline for Lithuanian athletics of all time and could only have been compared to our pole vaulting. If we go back two-three years, the women's hammer throw record was below 50 metres.

and for women if Toua (49kg) finishes in top 8 which is possible. there is nobody else from Oceania eligible to qualify. there is a girl from Guam but with only 2 events so far she can't complete her 4 events. unless of those 55kg girls cut weight and just participate in Colombia event at 49kg. if nobody from Oceania participates in Colombia event, these guys are going to qualify Yamasaki is leading in two weights but her recent results are at 55kg. 49kg: Toua 55kg: Yamasaki 59kg: Wini 64kg: Elliott 76kg: Signal 87kg: Andrews-Nahu +87kg: Stowers and Hubbard let's see if NZL accepts all these quotas. Hubbard for sure but what about the rest !? -------------- 49kg: 22. Toua - 2603 55kg: 44. Yamasaki - 2015 53. Lifu - 1522 59. Sumagaysay - 1323 59kg: 49. Yamasaki - 2015 51. Wini - 2006 61. Sumagaysay - 1323 63. Lee - 1214 (3 events) 64kg: 36. Elliott - 2546 42. Cochrane - 2300 44. Signal - 2180 72. Abouke - 1265 (4 events but one of them is a zero) 71kg: (no result in Olympic weights) Bakaekiri - 1179 76kg: 30. Signal - 2180 47. Andrews-Nahu - 1643 50. Gorincu - 1584 62. Davies - 1124 (4 events but one of them is a zero) 87kg: 36. Andrews-Nahu - 1643 37. Fassina - 1626 55. Detenamo - 574 +87kg: 12. Stowers - 2225 (most probably in top 8) 17. Hubbard - 1993 18. Sipaia - 1975 19. Amoe Tarrant - 1903

we still don't have the start list for the event in Colombia, but I assume we won't see lots of Oceania athletes there, and since there will be no more event for Oceania athletes, we probably can guess who is going to qualify. none of these guys is registered for the World Juniors. but still nothing is final, for example if Baru just participates at the Colombia event at 67kg he can qualify for the Olympics in that weight because of his 61kg points ! Wakeling is also leading the ranking in both 73 and 81 but he never really participated at 81kg. just registered. so I believe he will participate at 73kg. if nobody from Oceania participates in Colombia event, these guys are going to qualify 61kg: Baru 67kg: Ioane 73kg: Wakeling 81kg: McTaggart 96kg: D. Opeloge 109kg: Lydement +109kg: Liti * weightlifters in bold are 100% safe to qualify (unless their NOC reject the quota) on paper only 61kg and +109kg can qualify in top 8 (very unlikely though) in that case the next athlete from Oceania qualifies. ----------------------------------- and this is the list of all eligible Oceania weightlifters in the men's ranking with a realistic chance to qualify 61kg: 18. Baru - 3001 67kg: 41. Ioane - 2549 44. Katoatau - 2473 60. Moses - 1513 73kg: 46. Wakeling - 2234 48. Tabaroua - 2149 52. Doguape - 1934 61. Aliklik - 1728 81kg: 50. Wakeling - 2234 52. McTaggart - 2133 60. Aliklik - 1728 70. Detudamo - 1434 96kg: 33. D. Opeloge - 3010 63. Baru - 2030 (3 events) 33. Hanai - 1733 (3 events) 102kg: (no result in Olympic weights) D. Katoatau - 1718 109kg: 44. Lydement - 1869 45. Jungblut - 1808 46. Mao - 1754 (4 events but one of them is a zero) 48. Pomelile - 1640 51. Roberts-Young - 1377 (4 events but one of them is a zero) +109kg: 24. Liti - 2797 37. Pomelile - 1640
