I think Adam Peaty will probably be pretty pleased with how his World Cup series has gone having shown good progression through the 3 legs, particularly given he obtained the Olympic qualifying standard today. Among the positives to take away I would say is the fact that in Budapest, both his heat and final time were under 1:00.00 - something he didn't achieve in either Berlin or Athens - and the gap between himself and Qin has gone from over 2 seconds in Berlin to 1.43 seconds in Budapest. He still has a huge fight on his hands to successfully defend his title, but given he has had limited training and preparation, he has got himself back into the kind of shape where he would be in the mix to make the final. But if he is looking to get a medal, then he will need to drop at least another second and if he wants to take home gold, he's probably going to need to drop close to 2 seconds. I don't know if he will be able to do that, but I have a feeling that he will at least enjoy the challenge.

Melissa Humana Parades and Brandie Wilkerson are Canada’s flag bearers for the opening ceremony!

World record for McKeown in the 50m backstroke!

Tammara Thibeault with a convincing win in less than 2 mins in her opening bout

and are always in troubles with Arianna Fontana and her whims now she said she won't be back on the ice until the federal judges will fix the feud she has with Tommaso Dotti and other guys of the male team she said they tried to get her injured during the training sessions in the past years frankly, I'm so tired of this shit taking the attention of the media and of the audience away from the action of the current members of the team (and especially Pietro Sighel's medals)

most of the athletes I used to support are no longer competing... however, I still admire all the champions in each sport I follow, so, there are way too many to be named so, among those still in activity I love watching play "pound for pound" there are: Baseball: Shoei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, Clayton Kershaw, Mookie Betts Hockey: Anze Kopitar, Alexander Ovechkin, Leon Draisaitl, Roman Josi Alpine Skiing: Mikaela Shiffrin, Marco Odermatt Speedskating: Jutta Leerdam (well, maybe that's not because of her -however great- skills ) Short Track Speedskating: Hanne Desmet Athletics: Mondo Duplantis, Yulimar Rojas, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, Faith Kipyegon, Tom Walsh Swimming: Ariarne Titmus Judo: Uta Abe Wrestling: the and athletes in general Boxing: Vasyl Lomachenko, Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue Basketball: Luka Doncic Shooting: Alessandra Perilli (and the team in general) and many, many more...

Yes, Ljubljana is quite flat, on half marathon course there are only 70 meters of incline, on full marathon a bit more. It is very accessible and friendly run, this year there is new record, around 34 % of foreign runners will run, that is around 4000 out of close to 14.000 runners.

Good luck! How's the course? Is it flat or more hilly? And do you have a time in mind that you want to run? I was thinking about running marathons in different cities and I've never visited Ljubljana before, so perhaps a nice option for the upcoming years. This story won't end anytime soon if their father keeps denying all allegations. I wonder what the impact of this situation will be on the results of the brothers in the upcoming years. They're still young, but I don't see them having a long career if this negativity keeps following them.

Well done, @Dennis, for running in Amsterdam. I will only be running 21 km in Ljubljana this Sunday, marathon distance is beyond my limits. Hats off to all runners.

Before the Pan American Games begin, I'd like to extend a hearty Totallympics welcome to a pair of new Pan American users @MatiReimundo @rapguacu

The World U23 Championship starts this Monday but without Iran, why ? because Albania denied visa the entire team. simply and Iran was supposed to send a strong team including some of our senior team members Finland was supposed to host this event, but UWW took it away from them and gave it to Albania because they wouldn't allow Russians to participate. how funny there must be severe consequences for countries doing this. but there isn't and even tiny little Albania allow itself to do what it's daddy does all the time. lesson 1: if you don't want certain team to participate, don't say that out loud months before the event (like what Finland did)

I think a lot of NFL players will discover their eligibility for or citizenship.

Bit of a damp squib to start the World Cup season as the big air finals are cancelled. Results are based on qualification. Women Mathilde Gremaud - 95.50 Tess Ledeux - 94.00 Sarah Hoefflin - 91.75 Men Dylan Deschamps (CAN) - 93.66 Daniel Bacher (AUT) - 92.00 Birk Ruud (NOR) - 91.00

Weightlifting entires have been published. 26 NOCs with athletes. 9 and 18 are the lowest and highest number of entries in a weight class.

Canada will have two female flagbearers, so much for gender equality!!! /s https://olympic.ca/2023/10/20/humana-paredes-wilkerson-to-be-team-canadas-opening-ceremony-flag-bearers-at-santiago-2023/

No, the 3 universality will count in the 48 athlete total so to be truly safe you need to be in the top 45.

I update this daily . Hope that kind of helps. World Aquatics also has this but it takes a long time for some results to be uploaded.

So I messaged Breaking for Gold on Instagram, regarding their post on the upcoming Oceanic Breaking Championships. It said something along the lines of “watch the top breakers compete” blah blah blah. I replied with “no breakers from Oceania are good (which is true) don’t see the eventual gold medalists winning a single battle come Paris unless they face off against an African athlete”. I’m assuming they read the message because after that I got blocked. What a sh*t social media admin, why would you block someone for sharing a fact? It’s not like I was even hating lol.

Shorttrack speedskating - Kim Boutin Tennis - Stan Wawrinka Tennis - Aryna Sabalenka Athletics - Miltiadis Tentoglou Athletics - Natalia Kaczmarek Road cycling - Wout van Aert Gymnastics - Rebeca Andrade Judo - Lukas Krpalek Speedskating - Isabelle Weidemann

As for Polish players, favourites would have to be Sliwka and Leon (Kaczmarek and Bednorz in 3rd and 4th probably). In badminton, Viktor Axelsen and P.V Sindu In volleyball, Mol/Sørum, Bryl/Łosiak, Hüberli/Brunner, Ehlers/Wickler, Duda (Not a big fan of AP though), Mader/Verge Depre, Brouwer/Meeuwsen, Cherif/Ahmed In athletics, Mondo Duplantis, Femke Bol, Tobi Amusan, Miltiadis Tentoglou, Anna Hall, Nicola Olyslagers, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Mutaz Essa Barshim, Karsten Warholm, Athing Mu, Jakub Vadlejch In swimming, Thomas Heilman, Leon Marchand, Chad Le Clos, Ryan Murphy, Nic Fink, Lani Pallister, Caleb Dressel, Michael Andrew, Florent Manaudou, Ruta Meilutyte In alpine skiing, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, Joan Verdu, and AJ Ginnis In cross country skiing, Johannes Hosflot Klaebo In surfing, Gabriel Medina, Joao Chianca, Filipe Toledo In soccer/football, Lionel Messi, Thibaut Courtois In tennis, Casper Ruud, Rafa Nadal, Hubi Hurkacz, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Dominic Thiem, Grigor Dimitrov, Roger Federer, Paula Badosa, Anett Kontaveit In judo, Peter Paltchik Obviously Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and the rest (2021-22 roster, hate Chris Paul) of the Golden State Warriors (NBA). Along with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Domantas Sabonis and that’s pretty much it. What about you?

My predictions for Nice try y'all, I ain't jinxing them like that

My predictions for Archery: 0-1 Athletics: 4-6 Artistic Swimming: 0 Badminton: 3-5 Beach volleyball: 0-1 Boxing: 0-2 Breaking: 0-1 Canoe/kayak: 4-6 Cycling BMX: 0-1 Cycling MTB: 0-1 Cycling Road: 0-1 (very hard to predict) Cycling Track: 2-4 Diving: 4-7 Equestrian: 0 Fencing: 0-2 Field hockey: 0 Golf: 0 Gymnastics Artistic: 0-3 Gymnastics Rhythmic: 0 Gymnastics trampoline: 0-1 Handball: 0 Judo:2-3 Karate: 0-2 MP: 0 Racquetball: 0 Skateboarding: 0 Rowing: 1-2 Rugby sevens: 0 Sailing: 0-1 Shooting: 0 Softball: 0 Sport climbing: 0 Squash: 0-2 Surfing: 0 Swimming: 2-4 Table tennis: 0 Taekwondo: 0-1 Tennis: 0 Triathlon: 0 Water polo: 0 Water skiing: 2-4 Weightlifting: 0 Wrestling: 0 Anywhere between 23 and 61 gold

My gold predictions for Mexico, without the complete delegation names: 4-5 Basque Pelota 3-5 Diving 3-5 Modern Pentathlon 3-5 Racquetball 3-5 Tae kwon do 2-3 Archery 1-3 Athletics 0-2 Cycling Track 0-2 Sailing 0-2 Shooting 0-1 Baseball 0-1 Canoeing 0-1 Football 0-1 Gymnastics 0-1 Judo 0-1 Rowing 0-1 Surf 0-1 Water Skiing So the lower number would be 19 (like in Rio) and the maximum (if everyone keeps up) could be 45, but I think the total will just reach 30.

World Cup starts tomorrow from Montreal. 29 participating countries.

I'm going to make a guess of the medals in each event: 1m Springboard Women: Gold/Silver: Ware / Hernandez; Bronze: Vallée 3m Springboard Women: Gold: Ware; Silver: Hernandez; Bronze: Chávez/Mendoza 10m Platform Women: Gold: McKay; Silver/Bronze: Agúndez/Orozco 3m Synchronized Springboard Women: Gold: Vallée & Ware; Silver: Chávez & Pineda; Bronze: Hernandez & Skilken 10m Synchronized Platform Women: Gold/Silver: McKay & Miller / Agúndez & Orozco; Bronze: Oliveira & Pedroso / Agunbiade & Skilken 1m Springboard Men: Gold: Olvera; Silver: Ryan; Bronze: Ruvalcaba / Yost 3m Springboard Men: Gold: Olvera; Silver: Diego; Bronze: Restrepo / Ruvalcaba 10m Platform Men: Gold/Silver: Zsombor-Murray / Willars; Bronze: Souza 3m Synchronized Springboard Men: Gold: Diego & Olvera ; Silver: Downs & Ryan; Bronze: Restrepo & Uribe / Ciprick & Hattie 10m Synchronized Platform Men: Gold: Berlín & Willars; Silver: Wiens & Zsombor-Murray; Bronze: Silva & Souza / Flory & Rzepka

This segment is very Toronto 2015-esque

Before my time following the Pan American Games

Not a big list like the others, but I have a few athletes I grew fond of because I watched them live at events in the Netherlands. In Paris I will cheer for: Volleybal Men team and Bartosz Kurek. Javelin thrower Anderson Peters Other than that I am a big fan of Nafi Thiam and Kevin Mayer in the athletics multi events.

I think I'do correction in my predictions for cycling road - M Ind Time Trial now (Sat Day 1). I said 1. Evenepoel 2. Pogacar 3. Ganna But if Slovenia has only 1 quota in this event and Pogacar rides TDF I think he will skip this one to have some rest and concentrate fully on road race next weekend (and I think he'll win it) and Roglic will ride TT as a Tokyo champ and then he helps Pogacar in a road race... So now I have to think a bit but 4 top contenders would be Evenepoel, Ganna, Tarling and Roglic... Maybe Kung as well...

Rugby Time tonight CET! How's the mood in your countries @Wanderer @LDOG @konig ??? :-) I wonder how many people will watch this match in Argentina...

I didn't see any of them live, I chose to sleep

Day 11 ctd. - BOXING bronze medals W 50kg - Ingrit Valencia COL, Wassila Lkhadiri FRA W 66kg - Charlie Cavanaugh CAN, Ivanusa Moreira Gomes CPV (first ever olympic medal for Cape Verde - is it possible in real word???) M 71kg - Marco Verde MEX, Aslanbek Shymbergenov KAZ

Great effort post. It's nice to see only one day without any realistic medal chances. Remember the dark days of 2000-2012 (even 2016). It helps to have a good swimming and athletics team!

Gold Silver Bronze Total Olympic Qs Brazil 3 5 2 9 8 Cuba 3 1 0 4 4 Colombia 2 2 3 7 5 USA 2 1 5 8 4 Canada 1 1 3 5 2 Puerto Rico 1 0 2 4 1 Mexico 1 0 1 2 1 Dominican Republic 0 1 1 2 1 Argentina 0 1 0 1 1 Panama 0 1 0 1 1 Venezuela 0 0 4 4 1 Ecuador 0 0 3 3 1 Barbados 0 0 1 1 0 Haiti 0 0 1 1 0 This would be a tremendous result for Brazil. It's strange to not see Cuba at the top of the medal table but honestly this about as good a result as possible for them here. Flip side of things for the US where this would be a very poor result but they are much more likely to outperform this than underperform further. They did definetely get a bit unlucky draw wise certainly compared to Brazil and Colombia. Other than that 5 medals would be a very good outcome for Canada although only an average one from an Olympic qualifying perspective and Ecuador and Venezuela would probably both be left quite disappointed if it plays out like this. (Although Venezuela have already lost a projected medal at 57kg).

Men's predictions part 2. M51kg Gold- Roscoe Hill , Silver- Ramon Nicanor Quiroga , Bronze- Oscar Castaneda , Jabali Breedy . Other Olympic calibre boxers- Yuberjen Martinez , Luis Delgado . The top bracket of this draw is very let's say open. Justin Parina fights Central American silver medallist Junior Alcantara and the winner will face the unproven Oscar Castaneda. I'll take the unproven boxer against this calibre of opposition. The second bracket is pretty loaded though, 2021 world silver medallist Roscoe Hill meets Alejandro Claro Fiz in the last 16. Claro Fiz doesn't have a whole lot going for him other than that he is Cuban and won their selection trials though. The winner will meet Central American champion and Rio silver medallist Yuberjen Martinez. Assuming we get Hill vs Martinez I am not sure which way this one will go although whoever wins will very likely go on to win gold here. The third bracket is fascinatingly even, Michael Trindade likely meets the winner of 2023 panam champ Keymberth Gonzalez vs Jabali Breedy. Breedy is the most established but I honestly don't know. South American champion Luis Delgado got about as good a draw as he could have hoped for with a quarter final against the established Ramon Nicanor Quiroga and one of the above boxers in the semis standing between him and an Olympic spot. I'm going to pick the strandja silver medallist Quiroga though because his 2023 form is better. M71kg Gold- Marco Verde , Silver- Wanderson de Oliveira , Bronze- Jhonathan Arboleda , Christiann Palacio . Other Olympic calibre boxers- Omari Jones . This draw is a bit lopsided as well. At the top Jhonathan Arboleda should medal having to come through only Jhonny Fernandez and Eduardo Beckford who he beat in the semi finals of the Central American champs earlier this year. The secodn bracket here is stacked with 2022 panam champ and 2023 Central American champion Marco Verde taking on world quarter finallist Jorge Cuellar and 2021 world silver medallist Omari Jones taking on promisng youngster Angel Llanos . Verde beat Jones last year and we may well see them matchup again here. Christiann Palacio is very likely to make the semis here having gotten a very straightforward draw up until that point. World bronze medallist Wanderson de Oliveira's toughest fight before the final may well be his first one against 2022 panam silver medallist Jose Rodriguez . M80kg Gold- Arlen Lopez , Silver- Wanderley Pereira , Bronze- Keven Beasejour , Cedrick Belony-Duliepre . Other Olympic calibre boxers- Robby Gonzalez , Christian Pinales . There could have been a really interesting question here of weighing two time Olympic champion Arlen Lopez' recent patchy form against his experience and nous for showing up when it really counts but the draw he got was very straightforward so the risk of him not qualifying is quite low. His quarter final against Central American silver medallist Jhojan Caicedo should at least be somewhat interesting. The draw has opened up for 2023 panam champ Keven Beasejour to win a medal here with only a couple of experienced pros in Julio Alamos and Abraham Buonnarigo or Desmond Amsterdam in his way. On the other side of the draw 2021 world champion Robby Gonzalez got about as tough a draw as posible here meeting Central American champ (including beating Arlen Lopez) Christian Pinales before a prospective quarter final against world middleweight silver medallist Wanderley Pereira in a quarter final. The final bracket of this draw has absolutely nobody. I have no idea who of Eliezer Brito , Charles Cox , Cedrick Belony-Duliepre and Jaden Ecclestone will medal but one of them has to. Cedrick Belony-Duliepre appears to be Canadian or at least based there so I guess I'll pick him. Very little chance any of them even last the full three rounds in the semis though. Despite having the 2021 world and Olympic champions, this really isn't a very strong field. M92kg Gold- Julio Cesar La Cruz ,Silver- Keno Machado , Bronze- Julio Castillo , Bryan Colwell . Other Olympic calibre boxers- Jamar Talley . Julio Cesar La Cruz is not the dominant force he was for so long and he does have a couple of losses this year but he does start as the favourite here. He has got a tough draw meeting 2022 panam champ Jamar Talley in the last 16. The young American is talented but is unlikely to trouble La Cruz. After a quarter final against Andrews Salgado , La Cruz will then likely matchup against only man who can match his experience in Julio Castillo. Although, Castillo does have to beat 2023 panam champ Rogelio Romero first. A potential Castillo vs La Cruz fight would be a battle where the winner would make it to their fourth Olympics. Then again La Cruz has 2 gold medals from those appearances and Castillo hasn't even won a fight. Both should ultimately make it though. Brazil got some good draws especially in the heavier weights and this one is no exception with only a quarter final against either Central American silver medallist Marlon Hurtado or bronze medallist from the same event Daniel Guzman both of which Keno Machado has beaten before realistically standing in his way. Canada didn't get any great draws from an Olympic perspective but do have the opportunity to pick up a couple of cheap medals with a likely quarter final between Bryan Colwell and Emmanuel Pompey deciding the last medal here.
