number 1 sport of the Olympics will start in less than 43 hours buddy and it will again make me completely busy for two weeks, so my first preparation camp for Tokyo

Jonathan Horne beat Gogita Arkania in the QF 5-0 and qualified for the Olympics. interestingly after 2-3 years of traveling and competing everywhere, their Olympic quota was decided in a direct match between them. Arkania still can qualify today depends on Aktas.

Hocaoglu made it to the final and the Olympics. she didn't need that since Chatziliadou lost before the final

Japan might be slow in the vaccination campaign, but I don't understand how their situation can be considered that bad if the numbers shown on worldometers are correct. Having a quick look at the last days, they have like 6000 cases and 80 deaths per day and a total 1200 serious cases which is nothing if I compare those numbers with the Italian ones (the only ones I know on a regular basis). We have had days with 40000 cases and 800 deaths per day, with half of the population of Japan

Few if any, swim meets left in Asia that I can see. There are Canadian trials and time trials later this month so the Canadians may be giving it a shot.

yes. 31 May is the deadline for relay times

One of the best. He might have repeated in 1972, but for one bad race in the US trials.

if they were honest with themselves, they would see how the increase of covid cases has started when their Baseball season started... they should stop allowing spectators to go to the baseball games, rather than saying all those bullshit on the Olympics as a super-spreading event, when also the kids and the goats know that the athletes would be closed into a bubble without any sort of interaction with the local people and almost all of them would be vaccinated before travelling to Japan...

She's had a good career but she's over 30 and unlikely to improve. I do feel sorry for her at being the victim of bullying by Semenya fans who thought she said worse things about Caster than she did. What she actually said in 2016 was "“It is out of our control and we're pretty much relying on people at the top sorting it out,” . “The public can see how difficult it is… but all we can do is give it our best.” I can't see much controversial in that

That poll supposedly said 43% cancel, 40% postpone. So, I see two things here, 53% are in favor of the Games being held, but most just don't want them this year. But second, these polls should stop asking do you want the Games postponed, as I think most of us here believe IOC, TOCOG, and JPN Gov when they say further postponement is not an option. That said, I know other polls, when the question is its just a straight cancel or hold show 60% cancel. But this poll suits the media's McGaffrey's need when they can just scream 83% of Japanese don't want to hold the Olympics, without his bothering to break down the numbers.

Filip Mihaljevic vrlo dobro otvorio sezonu u Ostravi. Pobjeda sa 21,58m i pet puta preko 21m!

Damn, Julie Kepp is consistent on that 50m backstroke!

Vetter 94.20 in Zeleznograd!

Wow those are some fast times for 10,000 meters

Pretty impressive 9.96 from Fred Kerley on a chilly afternoon. Europeans all well short of OQs.

Sara Kolak otvorila sezonu sa 60,04 i trećim mjestom na mitingu u Ostravi. pobjeda za Hussong (GER) 66,56m

Kvesic u polufinalu protiv Turčina i to je kvota za Kvesića

it's done now. the following guys are qualified for Tokyo Sajjad Ganjzadeh Ivan Kvesic really bad luck for Zabih Poursheib, no more chance Gogita Arkania can still make it in France.

Aktas is in QF now and needs 1 more win but I think it's already done. even if he loses to Slovakia. the Slovakian guy has to face Kvesic in the SF and I believe Kvesic will lose intentionally to keep Aktas in the repechage, that will be enough. (just participating in repechage) even though Aktas most probably doesn't need that and he will win the QF.

Kvesić u 1/2 Turčin dobio u 1 kolu

Avril Lavigne and her skater boy in the background that can means only one thing. Zlatá tretra aka Golden spike, one of my favorite sport moments of the year just started live

Gong Li finally finished the extremely long waiting period and secured the ticket.

Neither. Tripartite Commission. Likely Lesotho (again).

Υοu can see entries here by clicking in each category: http://results.imas-sport.com/imas/regatta.php?competition=wettkampf_238

no. max is 990 if there are more than 32 athletes in the bracket . for less than that. the max is 930. 67kg is already done with France and Egypt qualifying.

Oh well. I was wrong. Burestedt has been selected

Unless someone made an error at the Hungarian federation, that time counts for us, we had that time trial at the national championships to qualify for Tokyo in men's 4x200m.

I forgot the auto qualifiers in 4x200m! So of course Ireland can't catch and !! Anyway here's the rankings for those not qualified 1 7:07:67 * 2 7:10:44 3 7:12:73 4 7:12:99 5 7:13:06 6 7:13:08 *I assume that the time earned by the team "Magyar Valogatott" can count for If not, then they're they're now behind everybody. Perhaps one of our Hungarian posters would know for sure.

I forgot the quto qualifiers. Let me just recheck!!

Well, at least it's basically an indirect apology for their major fuck up of last year...better than nothing, I guess.

And one more comment: if tusse was representing any country outside Scandinavia it would never ever advance to the finals worst iro Sweden was not related to results, but to their influence, overrating and manipulation behind the scenes

Magnificent performance by Mexico Alejandra Valencia 670, while Ana Vazquez and Valentina Vazquez at 667 in the ranking taking 4th, 5th, 6th position. I guess if they repeat the same performance next month they'll get easy matches and qualify and more importantly Aida Roman shouldn't join this team. @mrv86 Am I right

Honestly Sweden is the worst ESC Nation for years now. in the recent years the ESC was adjusted by Björkman to make a copy of Melodifestival. The juries always push Sweden while in televote Sweden is actually not that good, that tells you a lot. I am 100% convinced this year was the same, top 3 by Jury and outside top 10 by televote. I think if Sweden just sends someone standing around for 3 minutes they would still go to final. All other songs going through the final I kind of understand except Sweden and Norway. And Russia not my taste but at least something different. And I think that countries Croatia (ok I am probably not objective in that case), Romania, Australia and even Ireland deserved it more than Sweden.

rower in men's single sculls is born in 2000, one of their two in LM2x is 2000, one from is from 2002. I am sure there is more.

And it's noted here about said Rakuten chief that Rakuten is one of the few prominent Japanese businesses not sponsoring the Games. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/tokyo-olympics-japanese-athletes-drawn-into-battle-over-tokyo-olympics-1.6029584

With and not qualified to final will try save honor of ex-Yug countries in the final. I hope that Hurricane will make it, Loco Loco recently growed on me very much.

Correct, only the top 21 get quotas and Serbia didn't perform too well at the 2019 World Championships

Fun fact, starting in Tokyo, canoeing sprint will allow 2 boats for singles and doubles.

https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/05/19/lee-evans-dies-track-and-field-400/ Lee Evans, 1968 Olympic 400m champion, dies at 74

Sadly that's probably it for Iceland for the rest of the contest, hopefully their recorded performance will be sufficient enough.

LEN president Paolo Barelli said that he thinks that "optimistically" there is a 50% chance that the Olympics will take place...
