Strong rumors saying will be banned of competing in Tokyo next year and Beijing 2022

Eh...missing the only chance to qualify directly doesn't make someone less legitimate as a contender, otherwise we should say the same about athletes like Eleftherios Petrounias or Aurelie Muller

One event is dominated by the 15 year olds, the other by the 12 year olds...

Yeah, these spammers are registering almost everyday since some months A lot of them put as favourite athletes "I like chicken, me"

Well as sports journalist I feel the need to support the three woman journalist, so... Go Nationals

Well, Sohi recently took over the ride on former British team horse Don Carissimo. She scored 61.6% on debut in early October, and then just a little higher last weekend. Of course, nobody expects her to get 72-74% scores that Gareth Hughes was getting on that horse. And she doesn't need that for Tokyo anyway - 66% or more would be enough to challenge Morocco and Palestine for the individual quota places. However, Tokyo will probably come too soon for them. Qualification period ends on December 31st, and that leaves them very little time for improvement. I watched them compete on their debut. Potential is there, but there were oh-so-many cheap rhythm mistakes, which can be only rectified with more training = more time. Participation at 2022 WEG is more realistic.

Iran qualified in men's time trial instead of Luxembourg. Rest is okay, I think.

I hate that by this rule we lost one of three deserved quotas

I'm sure nobody saw every professional athlete ever, yet we all have our favorites

But from the pure public relations standpoint, it would make sense to keep the Olympic rankings page... And not expect athletes / media / stakeholders / fans to scroll through the World rankings. This probably caused some confusion all over.

Oh no, so unfair. Oh my gosh. Always against the Russians.

I just don't care much about skateboarding, I have much more attention for your MTB updates

The Olympic ranking is the world ranking by nations as of 22 october and it's already out: https://www.uci.org/road/rankings

I think we can expect no ranking update until Monday - the World Ranking will be published as it will be on Monday and the Olympic one will be published as it is today. Or maybe they're adding points from races from Tuesday according to the last time zone (GMT -12), no matter if there was any there and the Olympic ranking will be published tomorrow.

Jungels has never finished higher than 10th at any world championship time trial. He wasn't a medal contender next year Japan getting the spot ahead of Luxembourg is no big deal Just like it would be no big deal if Latvia pipped Luxembourg to that 30th spot and they get in

Just an update on this, It’s going to be awhile. I’m still currently figuring out the formatting and making results books for the various games that are going on right now. This is on my long list of things to do around here, so it may be awhile, but I think the end product will be one people like.

Well if he was a legitimate medal contender, he'd have finished in the top 10 at the worlds and qualified that way. It's not that big a deal IMO

I love it! I'm in too.

Well, I'm in.

Yes, I will. Every time a manager makes a transfer via PM to me, I will inform them how many transfer they have left.

Finish of the pursuit in São Carlos, where @brunamoura beat Maria Cecilia Dominguez of Argentina after an insane race. Started twenty seconds behind, closed the gap on the climbs in the first kilometer, opened a gap on the big climb that followed, but had to slow down and Dominguez came back. She went straight into the Argentinian's back for the second-to-last straight, which goes slightly uphill but, more importantly, had a strong headwind. Opened the sprint a tiny bit too early, but then again, it turned out perfectly. The race should not have been 50 meters longer, Dominguez was closing in fast in the last 50 meters or so.

wich kind of clothes they gonna use to compete at the Olympics? I hope that they still use their normal and cool skate clothes and not a national uniform

And not one mention of Goku

2 events for both sexes. Maximum of three from each nation in each event. 2 x 3 x 2 = 12

#2, with a note that there should be a back-up at all times, considering how vulnerable the servers used by Totallympics generally are.

Which is a good thing, at least Belarus has a pretty good cyclist and a decent one to back him up. Turkey has...well, nobody, really.

I can see a pattern going on here.

Good news in a sad way. She had suffered enough and now can hopefully finally find the peace she wanted so badly. Sleeping one hour a night again and again simply because the pain is so excruciating is no way to live.

Can't decide if that would be the best or worst couple ever!

I happy to let everyone know that myself and @bestmen have decided to become the first couple

in 1964, 3 different venues were used for the Equestrian competitions: - Karuizawa (Chiba Prefecture) hosted the 3-Day event - the Equestrian Park in Setagaya-ku* (Tokyo) hosted the Dressage competitions - the National (Olympic) Stadium in Shinjuku-ku* (Tokyo) hosted the Show Jumping events * -ku basically means "block"... for more details, check the IOC Tokyo 1964 Official Reports #1 (page 115 and following) and #2 (page 577 and following)... https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll8

Thanks for making this topic :-) .... I collect autographs of Olympic medalists, currently on number around 7000 pieces, moreover pins, flags, stamps, clothes, tickets, etc. Would like to start collection od Olympic torches.

It is not specified if there are any confirmations of this hypothesis neither if it is going to happen in athletics only or it will be extended to other sports. However, it is stated in the end of the news that Ganus expects limitations to Russia from multiple international sport federations

Nope

Looks like UCI is being lazy. But unlike with 3x3, there will be no surprises here. I think the only significant change will be Belarus overtaking Turkey for 2 quotas.

I know this lady wasn’t an Olympian, but I feel like Paralympians count for this thread too. She will be missed:

Junior world champion in skicross Mikayla Martin passed away at the age of 22 after having an accident on a mountain bike. RIP
