Skate Croatia have just posted a copy of the ISU anti-doping rules on twitter that state if an individual is disqualified from a team event for doping the team is automatically disqualified.

Highlighting Two male Italian discus throwers today. First Off-Enrico Saccomano who started his season of with 59.87,the reasons i think he's worth mentioning Is because he's just 22[going to turn 23 on February 12.],He has never thrown the 2kg discus so far in his first contest of a season,and it's his fifth best result ever with his Pb being 60.99,from the 2022 season in the Summer,not predicting he's gonna do anything crazy this year but already seemingly not that far off his pb at the very start of the season looks like a good sign. And the main one is- Alessio Mannuci Who threw his new PB of 64.19 in that same season opener two days ago[he will turn 26 in early July].Previous Pb was 63.61 from mid July of last year,7 off his current 10 best Marks came from 2023.Obviously it's huge to get a pb in the first comp of the year,He's 10th on the all time Italian Men's discus list,but of the ones still competing,Absolutely looks like the number one right now.Takes second place on the discus world list for this year behind Connor Bell at the moment,I know the Germans will be having their winter championships near the end of February,Ceh will Probably compete in His Winter throwing champs which will be on the 17th,But I think Alessio is likely going to stay in the top 10 for at least February and is worth keeping an eye on to see how he progresses through the season.

Final List to OQS https://www.worlddancesport.org/News/WDSF/Final-List-of-Qualified-Athletes-to-compete-in-the-Olympic-Qualifier-Series-(OQS)-3414 WDSF has never been clear enough about the reallocations of quotas to those athletes who have conquered spots in more than one competition. Differently from what happened with the other sports which will take place at this event.

In an unexpected turn of events, Caroline Gomes dos Santos was awared a ranking quota. Brazilian Taekwondo Federation says that because France chose this quota, it was reallocated, but that only makes sense if World Taekwondo realized there were no universality places (if I understand well via F2, as France won 2 quotas, its Host Nation quotas would be reallocated via Universality)

This is real nonsense. I could make an argument for ROC being first, fourth or disqualified. Makes no sense at all for them to be third.

It looks like there will be a separate Race 11 among the olympic contenders to decide the final quotas Maybe we celebrated prematurely https://www.livesaildie.com/ilca-7-worlds-aussie-matt-wearn-with-one-hand-on-the-cup-heading-into-medal-race/

Do not understand why this go this way with America. for me it's unfair. So only Europe has champs after, and quotas go nornally for the highest country. Happy for India and Montenegro

Olympic Quota Standings After 10/10 Races Quotas Olympic 98 pts (Continental Quota reallocated to ) 118 pts 123 pts (Continental Quota reallocated to ) 124 pts 125 pts 146 pts 161 pts

Group A 2-1 0-1 Standings 9 (+3) Q 7 (+4) 5 (+1) 1 (-3) 0 (-6)

In terms of mixed doubles you mean? No, they scored 3 in a 13-3 loss to Hungary in their opening game.

I haven't followed the curling mixed doubles competition, but below is an overview of qualification scenarios. Hopefully, I haven't made any mistakes. Group A This is the only group with no-mathematically-qualified teams yet and the only group with four teams still in contention. Remaining matches are Czechia-South Korea, which will be played first and Canada-Great Britain. If you don't want to get confused with text, jump directly to the tables. If Czechia wins, then they qualify and they will be joined by the winner of the other match. If it's Great Britain, then GB wins the group and Czechia finishes second. If it's Canada, then Czechia wins the group and Canada ends up second. To summarise, if Czechia wins. Winner of - / Group Standings 1 2 If South Korea wins, then the winner of Great Britain-Canada certainly wins the group. If Great Britain loses that match, a three way tie between Czechia, Great Britain and South Korea will be created. In this case, South Korea will win the tie with a 2-0 win-loss record in the tie-breaker. If Canada loses that match, a three way tie between Canada, Czechia and South Korea will be created. Win-loss record for all tied teams will be 1-1. In that case qualification will be decided based on draw shot challenge. At the moment, it's South Korea (43.46) ahead of Czechia (48.09) ahead of Canada (59.66). To summarise, if South Korea wins. Winner of - / Group Standings 1 2 DSC (,,) Group B USA and Sweden have both secured their spots in the quarterfinals. US team is undefeated and still has one match to play. They are certainly first as they have won against Sweden, who completed the group with a 4-1 win-loss record. Group C China is the group winner as they are undefeated with one match to play and they have won against Japan and Latvia, both of them having a 3-1 win-loss record. These two teams are facing each other tomorrow, therefore whoever wins gets the second spot. Group D Both teams in the current top two, Germany and Switzerland, have completed their matches and they both have a 4-1 win-loss record. However, as I'll explain thoroughly, only Germany is mathematically qualified. Denmark is in third place with a 3-1 win-loss record and will face Kazakhstan tomorrow. Obviously, if Denmark loses, then Germany and Switzerland are through to the quarterfinals, with the former winning the group, having won the direct match up. If Denmark wins, then a three way tie at a 4-1 win-loss record will be created. In this case, the tie-breaker win-loss record will be 1-1 for all three teams and qualification will come down to draw shot challenge. But as I mentioned above, Germany and Switzerland have completed their matches, which means their current DSC is their final one. Since Germany (31.04) is better than Switzerland (79.90), Germany will definitely finish ahead of Switzerland in this tie. Given that Denmark's current DSC is 37.31, at the moment they also have the upper hand against Switzerland in this scenario.

Very strange behaviour from such an experienced coach. He should have stayed with his team till the last kick. Perhaps he knew his time was up & he will be sacked tomorrow

from what I heard (but I'm not 100% sure if that's correct) that was KSA's first ever defeat on penalties at least that was their first defeat in AFC Asian Cup. and for the fourth time in a row they failed to reach the top 8 !!! that was indeed a crazy match, I think Korea deserved it after all but next time won't be easy for them. AUS has 2 more days rest + Korea played an extra time. and that was really ugly from Mancini, leaving his team and going to the dressing room with still one penalty kick left

Actually the top10 sailors race in the medal race, but the others still have one more race to compete. The gold fleet starts without the top10. So the winner will be 11th. this is here, on 7.4 : https://onb.ilca.roms.ar/ilca7men2024/images/onbdocs/SAILING_INSTRUCTIONS_Amendment_1.pdf They even posted Wednesday order of race: https://onb.ilca.roms.ar/ilca7men2024/images/onbdocs/Notice_06_-_Plan_for_Wednesday_31_January.pdf So, if i haven't made any mistake, taking into account the discard, Guatemala, Montenegro, Chile and Denmark already secured the quotas. So Brazil and Argentina get the reallocated continental ones. 13-🇬🇹Juan Maegli 98pt (max de 129) 21-🇲🇪Milivoj Dukic 118pt (máx de 170) 24-🇨🇱Clemente Seguel 123pt (máx de 168) 25-🇩🇰Johan Lundgaard Schubert 124pt (máx de 151) 26-🇮🇳Vishnu Saravanan 125pt (máx de 174) - by 1 point he is still out of a secured quota 28-🇹🇷Yigit Yalcin Citak 146pt (máx de 188) 30-🇸🇪Emil Bengtson 161pt (máx de 207) 31-🇭🇰Nicholas Halliday 163pt (máx de 207) 33-🇲🇾Khairulnizam Mohd Afendy 165pt (máx de 218) 38-🇦🇷Francisco Guaragna Rigonat 184pt (máx de 236) 39-🇲🇪2️⃣ Ilija Markovic 186pt (máx de 233) 40-🇨🇦Luke Ruitenberg 199pt (máx de 247) 42-🇸🇬Ryan Lo 207pt (máx 253) 44-🇺🇲Ford Mccann 209pt (máx 261) 46-🇺🇲2️⃣Marshall Mccann 216pt (máx 255) 47-🇦🇷2️⃣Facundo Olezza 218pt (máx 270) 48-🇨🇭Gauthier Verhulst 223pt (máx 275) 49-🇵🇷Pedro Fernandez 224pt (máx 266) 51-🇹🇷2️⃣Berkay Abay 244pt (máx 296)

I'm more impressed that only one person got disqualified after that many warnings.

Only Russia has enough drugs to be high enough to think they'll win.

The ISU continuing to still suck up to Russia. Are we surprised here? 2002 and now 2022

Mid day Adelaide time. There will be a separate Race 11 among the quota contenders which is not the medal race . Medal race will be among the top 10 sailors to decide rankings.

I think that the only quota the ICF confirmed when they covered the event in their reporting was Brodie Crawford in the Men's C1: Rohan issues timely reminder while Fox wins again | ICF - Planet Canoe (canoeicf.com) They haven't updated their quota tracker since the Asian Continental qualifier: quota_allocation_publication_paris2024_after_asian_q.pdf (canoeicf.com)

is in.

Yes that is correct. None of the quota eligible sailors made the medal race as they finished outside top 10

Someone correct me here if I’m wrong, but I believe only the top 10 sailers compete in the medal race?

Yes, indoor meets count towards the OQS All field events, and all track events 200m and over are counted (including combined events, and the mile)

The USOPC has released a statement from their CEO saying that the United States will be awarded the gold medal in the team event by the IOC.

Please, I’d like to be in! 🇨🇿😇

It’s actually in the rules that athletes who get a relocated medal can request a medal ceremony at the next Olympics. So yes.

For this contest, I've decided to participate with a song that I wrote together with my colleagues LITHUANIA ELEY - Rock My Body

London 2012 silver medallist (GR 74kg) Arsen Julfalakyan decided, a couple of years ago, to retire from wrestling, because of problems with the federation mainly. He returned to action in a tournament in france a couple of weeks ago, representing Argentina, winning a silver medal. He is in the entry list of the Pan American Qualification Tournament.

Interestingly, CAS cited Russian Anti-Doping Rules, which don't provide any additional protection from consequences for "protected persons," as much of the basis for their ruling.

Wow, this is so fast, is in, hope I can find something till Sunday.

It's a new addition for the team event prediction contests this year. My plan is to have it for all the team event prediction contests in 2024 and then evaluate it by the end of this year. There will also be additional "bonus"-points called "Captain"-points for individual event prediction contests. This will be explained in more details when I post the prediction designs for the upcoming Biathlon WCH and Swimming WCH prediction contests during the upcoming week.
