Remember Huang Yu Lin, the roller skating guy from who famously won Asian Games gold after taking over his opponent who celebrated prematurely? Yesterday he lost in National Games of Taiwan with the same method

Sat Day 8 03.08 118. ARCHERY - W Individual 1. Alejandra Valencia MEX 2. Kang Chae-young KOR 3. An San KOR CZE world champion loses in 1/32 round this time. 119. ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS - M Floor 1. Carlos Yulo PHI 2. Artem Dolgopyat ISR 3. Kazuki Minami JPN A lot of mistakes made by other finalists (including a relatively small one by Dolgopyat) leaves space for Yulo here. 120. ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS - W Vault 1. Simone Biles USA 2. Rebeca Andrade BRA 3. Yeo Seo-jeong KOR Alexa Moreno MEX sadly 4th again, like in Tokyo. 121. ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS - M Pommel Horse 1.

Great Britain Femke Bol doesn't hit the floor this time. 126. ATHLETICS - W 100m 1. Shericka Jackson JAM 2. Sha'Carri Richardson USA 3. Marie-Josee Ta Lou CIV First great controversy of the games. Jackson and Richardson finish with the same time. Jackson announced as a winner but Team USA make a protest because photo-finish shows a gap so small (or no gap at all as NBC says) that Phelps vs Cavic one can be considered as extremely large. Protest unsuccessfull though. US Team gets mad. Mr. Bach speaks some stupid words at press conference. Richardson crying a lot but finally says - see you at 200 and then we will destroy Jamaica in the relay. Ewa Swoboda smoothly in a final this time, no unnecessary semi-final drama. And then 7th with nice PB. Ta Lou eventually gets her ind medal partly due to JAM controversial false-start in the semis. Uff... 127. ATHLETICS - M Decathlon 1. Leo Neugebauer GER 2. Pierce LePage CAN 3. Karel Tilga EST Too many DNFs, Kevin Mayer among them which leaves 3rd place wide open and it goes to Estonia. 128. BADMINTON - W Doubles 1. Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan CHN 2.

Wout van Aert BEL Pogacar - after disappointing 2nd place in TDF and happy 2nd place in ind TT here - goes solo on the last lap. Van der Poel catches him in Amstel-style but then crashes 3km to go.

Summer McIntosh CAN 2. Kate Douglass USA 3. Yu Yiting CHN Amazing race, simply amazing. McIntosh wins by 0,05 sec. McKeown leads for a long time but then fades - very tired after her backstroke double. Noone gest DSQ in the semis or in the final. 141. SWIMMING - W 800m Free 1. Katie Ledecky USA 2. Li Bingjie CHN 3. Ariarne Titmus AUS Easy win for Ledecky. 142. SWIMMING - Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay 1. China 2. United States 3. Australia A weird race in a weird event. 143.

Calling global a sport that’s only relevant in formen British colonies seems chauvinistic at best.

already won the men's silver in Flag Football at the last World Games our federations having the sports in charge, have already said they will do whatever they can to recruit all the best American players with Italian heritage to try and win a medal in LA in both FF and also Lacrosse

These were the semi-finals in truth. The other half of the draw has essentially been a plate trophy

Definitely both yesterdays - and this - are a great ad for rugby especially in countries where this sport had no tradition, people here are watching it thanks Czech TV and the numbers of viewers are really growing fast (me included)

The bronze medal in lacrosse is wide open, nations have five years to develop. This reminds me of women's ice hockey

YES! Bryl/Łosiak with bronze medal, first Polish medal in beach volleyball WCH!!

beat by 69 runs.

Well, Wijler finished 6th at the World Champs and 5th in the men’s team event in 2023 (9th in the mixed event). so not so bad. Schloesser was part of the women’s team that took a completely unexpected 4th place in the team event.

with quota to Paris. They beat 12-7.

Indeed. Funny how the likes of boxing, wrestling, and indeed, fencing do not "glorify violence".

Previously Ireland have choked, or just not been good enough. This was nothing of the sort. This was two great teams of the four great teams currently in existence taking absolute lumps out of each other - Ireland going 13 down early and punching their way back, All blacks surviving 20 mins wth 14 men - in the end, a brilliant J Barrett hold up and the astonishing discipline of the NZ defence in the last phase - not sure any other team could have beaten Ireland today, not sure the All blacks could have been pushed harder than they were today - they were pretty much the top of their Game and still just about clinging on in the last phases i wasn't an unreachable black will, Ireland nearly made it through 3 times, but NZL found a way to hold the line. This'll haunt Ireland, but we didn't die wondering - it's no fluke, we are in this league, but well done All Blacks. This match was not quite as ;seismic; as the RSA match, which was frighteningly violent, but in another way it was equally astonishing. The standards in the World Cup generally are easily the greatest they've ever been - and i could probably watch any match featuring a combination of Ireland, France, New Zealand And South Africa all day at the moment.

Here's the direct Olympic qualification schedule. Overall up to 71 events will offer direct quotas to the Olympics (in archery, diving & tennis it depends on the results). I did not include trampoline since I am 99% sure we will qualify someone and thus the quota will be voided. All medal days except October 31st will offer quotas with October 23rd and November 4th offering quotas in 5 sports.

Lithuania won a football match. That's it. That's the post. Seems that the impossible can become possible.

Men’s Medalists Gold- Ondřej Perušič/David Schweiner Silver- David Åhman/Jonathan Hellvig Bronze- Michal Bryl/Bartosz Łosiak Women’s Medalists Gold- Kelly Cheng/Sara Hughes Silver- Ana Patricia Silva Ramos/Eduarda Santos Lisboa Bronze- Taryn Kloth/Kristen Nuss

Josh Tarling scores another time trial victory by taking the Chronos des Nations title and beating Remco Evenepoel by 13 seconds.

Cricket fans love citing Netherlands as a competitive nation, but I’m not sure they’ve played a competitive game yet at the current ICC World Cup. They haven’t faired much better in baseball, but the sport is almost certainly more global, even if it too is limited to a few hot spots.

Apparently is the first landlocked nation to win gold at the World championships.

Still, way behind being global. Good for them to get a chance to be showcased, but in the end I doubt they will be a core sport.

No shame for you guys, you played who is in front of you. Just the stupid draw system. I really hope they change it next time and not make the draw 3 years in advance when the order of world rugby could completely change in that period. I feel so bad for Scotland too as they are a million miles better than England, Wales or Fiji.

I want to say the contrary but........it wont be honest doing that

I feel your pain . Hugs and respect from an Irish fan to a French fan

Yeah, if you've only ever seen Rugby Sevens, you would have no idea as to how good rugby is to watch. For anyone who calls themselves a sports fan and you've not been watching these 2 epic semi finals, you need to re-evaluate your life **kidding, but not kidding**

This is one of the best rugby matchs i have ever seen, both team are marvelous.

Nice flag pattern happened here tonight

If your exit polls are like ours then it would be better to wait for the official final results Our exit polls showed completely different winner than at the end was and all the early joy vanished during the rest of the night

yeah, but I wasn't talking specifically of the round of #16 matches (even if I think that Menegatti/Gottardi should have won easily vs Clancy/Mariafe...the men killed themselves with the pools results and the consequential bad draw in the knockout stage*), it's more a general thought...it's since Rio 2016 that our pairs aren't performing well in the world champs as they often do in the world tour tournaments *Nicolai/Cottafava also wasted the chance to beat the worst version of Mol/Sorum ever, tbh...if they didn't get a W this time, they will never do it

PiS did win elections but they cant rule alone as they doesnt have enough places in Sejm, so, probably opposition will rule first time since 8 years.

except for some US clubs exceptions, you just need to compare the World Champs and the Asian Games results...all the best times of the year come from those 2 events

Will bet she has a high profile job lined up in the international bureaucracy somewhere.

Up until 12 months ago I would have agreed with @Orangehair43 but the improvement of British performances has been surprising lately.

Center-right won elections in New Zealand. No wonder Jacinda Ardern jumped ship few months ago. This loss lands totally on her lap and she saw it coming from miles away and bailed out. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/13/asia/new-zealand-general-election-labour-national-intl-hnk/index.html

They might keep it this time since they are now a core team.

Election day!

Volleyball has a statistic called “kill”. Volleyball is literally a sport where the objective is to have the most kills while limiting errors. Is volleyball glorifying violence?

Men’s Gold Medal Match Perušić/Schweiner v. Åhman/Hellvig Men’s Bronze Medal Match Crabb/Brunner v. Bryl/Łosiak I’d be surprised if Poland doesn’t win their first World Championships medal here. Women’s Gold Medal Match Hughes/Cheng v. Duda/Ana Patricia Women’s Bronze Medal Match Kloth/Nuss v. Clancy/Mariafe

'3 Otamendi

Very sad for Ireland who once again fail to go further than quarterfinals but damn that was amazing to watch!

Oh i love this match. This is rugby with a flow!

has qualified their first athletes in handball (women’s tournament) at the African Women’s Handball Olympic Qualification Tournament

Running the Amsterdam marathon myself tomorrow. You might spot me all the way in the back, live on EuroSport.

I wonder what Athens and London did to p*ss off the IOC to the extent that they didn't get to add any new sports to the schedule when they hosted. 1992 Barcelona: Adds Badminton 1996 Atlanta: Adds Softball, Mountain Biking and Beach Volleyball 2000 Sydney: Add Taekwondo, Triathlon and Trampoline Gymnastics 2004 Athens: 2008 Beijing: Adds BMX Racing and Open Water Swimming 2012 London....Adds no new sports and drops baseball and softball. 2016 Rio: Adds Rugby 7s and Golf 2020 Tokyo: Adds Skateboarding, Surfing, BMX Freestyle, Sport Climbing, 3x3 Basketball & Karate 2024 Paris: Adds Breaking 2028 Los Angeles: Adds Flag Football, Cricket, Softball/Baseball, Squash & Lacrosse

they could have given him more space, such a small table for the president is a shame
