History for Liechtenstein. A microstate qualifying in an event like this (with fully home-grown athletes) is rocket science, but apparently possible.

sad to be said, but this farce is the perfect end of a crazy, completely wrong and messed up qualification procedure... WKF did everything to justify their exclusion just after the Tokyo Olympics... they wanted Kata in, sacrifying 2 weight classes for each gender in Kumite, they accepted to have only an odd number of athletes per event (10) when normally we have more than 100 competitors in each class at the world champs, they put on a shameful and not understandable (and even prone to manipulation) qualification system, they chose the more than controversial round robin system for the final phase of the one and only global qualification tournament and finally, this one... with all the love I feel for the sport, this is just unacceptable and they deserve to be kicked out from the next Games... I truly hope they would eventually understand all of their mistakes and find the way to comeback with a better and fair product in the future, but I fear that's almost impossible with such kind of officials running the WKF... right now, I'm excited for the opportunity to watch the Olympic tournament, but at the same time I'm really sad for the poor management of all this and the consequential lack of perspective in the next future...

Canada was winning 3-3 (on Senshu) but received a penalty in last 3 seconds for stepping out. which annuls the Senshu. a draw was enough for the Netherlands to qualify. the match ended 3-3 draw and Netherlands qualified. (alongside KSA and Georgia) they awarded the women's medals but then right before the award ceremony they called both of those guys to the Tatami telling them to fight those last 3 seconds again because Canada apparently made a protest and they found out the Canadian Karateka wasn't out of bound. Canada ended up winning 3-3 on Senshu.

I just rewatched the live stream. that's unbelievable. I didn't know you can protest these kind of decisions. and specially when the match is over ! that was new. feel sorry for the Dutch guy. that surely feels terrible for him.

God, the WKF is so cruel. They brought the athletes back to the tatami to announce the result of the protest. I feel horrible for Lardy. The way this went down is just terrible. I can’t celebrate this at all.

I will never watch Karate again.

Plot twist. This Italian guy / guest commentator is actually @phelps?

They are right from Vaduz... https://www.lieswimming.li/artistic-swimming/athletinnen/lara-mechnig.html https://www.lieswimming.li/artistic-swimming/athletinnen/marluce-schierscher.html

England wins 1-0. The winner of this group plays either or in Round 16 so Croatia might not be all that upset

Krejcikova/Siniakova win women's doubles 64 62. Krejcikova becomes first player since Mary Pierce in 2000 to win RG in both singles & doubles. Also first player not named Williams to win GS singles/doubles at the same tournament in XXI century.

I tried to calculate the European quotas. There are many ways I could have messed this up, so don't think that this is an official confirmation. w70 - 2915 - #1 female European quota m90 - 2875 - #1 male European quota w70 - 2842 - #2 female European quota m90 - 2837 - #2 male European quota w57 - 2778 - #3 female European quota m73 - 2694 - #3 male European quota m90 - 2518 - #4 male European quota m90 - 2495 - #5 male European quota m81 - 2417 - #6 male European quota m73 - 2339 - #7 male European quota w57 - 2337 - #4 female European quota w78+ - 2326 - #5 female European quota m100 - 2247 - #8 male European quota m100 - 2244 - #9 male European quota m100 - 2190 - #10 male European quota m60 - 2157 - #11 male European quota m73 - 2148 - #12 male European quota m90 - 2103 - #13 male European quota At this point we have reached the limit for male European quotas (13). w57 - 1985 - #6 female European quota w63 - 1872 - #7 female European quota w78+ - 1825 - #8 female European quota w52 - 1786 - #9 female European quota w48 - 1753 - #10 female European quota w63 - 1712 - #11 female European quota w63 - 1688 - #12 female European quota

I have checked the world rankings and I think I haven't made any errors in my previous calculations. Which means that these should be the world quotas. Women's 48kg Men's 60kg Women's 52kg Men's 66kg Women's 57kg Men's 73kg Women's 63kg Men's 81kg Women's 70kg Men's 90kg Women's 78kg Men's 100kg Women's +78kg Men's +100kg

Believe it or not, this is the first time someone from Guatemala will compete in a stadium event since Sydney 2000! They are too saturated with road runners and walkers.

Not sure if they will try for that. But if they do, they can name up to two more. So as of this moment Canada has 50 athletes. Up to 69 athletes can qualify. Will be an intense last couple of weeks of qualification!

Netherlands with 7 shots in first 10 minutes. Some hockey matches don't have as many!

Turbo charged start to the match Now this is what we want to see!

Yep, that's for sure. The ranking quotas on the other hand can be messy with all the reallocations, so we will probably have to wait a few weeks for all the countries with more than 2 qualified athletes to decide.

Top9 quota eligible athletes on the men's ranking: Liebig Hamed Palazkov Toolis M. Dogue Jung Tymoshchenko Kuf Seo So has 4, has 3, has 3, has 3. Which means 5 quota reallocations once these countries decide which quotas they will reject.

2nd player from super mega mighty league in

the only way to defeat Novak in a Grand is to disqualify him :D

I feel very sorry for Tsitsipas He deserved to win and things were going great, but allez. As we all know for years now, no one can beat the Big 3 at the GSs (especially generations after them), no matter how much they try, or what the situations have been. Everyone should just be waiting for them to retire, but the way things are going, it won't be for another 4-5 years.

Marosi! Just amazing, World champion again after 12 years. What a great weekend for us, I hope that we can turn these forms into at least one medal in Tokyo.

you qualified 3 directly and can get max 2 from continental quotas , so the answer is 5 all 3 women's Kumite events + men's 67kg and men's 75kg.

We are getting... Triathlon +4 (I think?) Tennis +3 Pentathlon +2 Judo +7 And we also won +1 in karate and RG.

Congrats to England. Also, good luck playing France/Germany/Portugal in the round of 16.

0 0 0 0 but we may have a referee in volleyball, but the classic one

This is all the matches so far in a nutshell. I wonder if UEFA will ever make some chances, because having a group stage with 24 teams where 16 of them qualifies to the next round is just awful. There isn't any sense of urgency from many teams because they know they will most likely make it to the next round no matter what. And all of this is because 24 is a terrible number for this kind of a football tournament. The solution to this will probably be that UEFA will expand the EUROs to 32 teams in the future.

Last time Germany qualified for the Olympics was 1992.

Oh wow what an accomplishment!

Let's not count Diaz out. She wasn't good at Tashkent and could have faced challenge for the medals from Chinsanlo and Nabieva. Hang on did you guys read the recent article about her? @Tigercub She's in her form of her life. 100kg snatch + 130kg CJ = 230 kg That's 3kg more than Liao Qiaoyun's best. I know expecting training lift at Olympics is hard. But even if it's 98 + 128kg could just be enough for gold.

Team Germany - Women Kim Bui, Sarah Voss, Pauline Schäfer, Elisabeth Seitz Emelie Petz (reserve) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=373589967468051&id=100044511516482

Do the downhill commentators really never understand how certain things work? Athlete A has a great run, but makes a huge mistake somewhere which costs at least 2 seconds (but still he has the fastest time). Athlete B closes in on the part where A made a huge mistake and is a second or so down, after this part he is nearly a second up. This is obvious, since A lost 2 seconds there and so it'd be weird if B did not make up a huge chunk of time. However, the commentators didn't see this coming at all: "HE'S A SECOND UP, HE HAS TURNED IT ALL AROUND!! UNBELIEVABLE, WHAT IS HE ON?1!!?!" I like the commentators in general, but this total screaming at perfectly obvious things comes across a little....dumb Anyhow, Troy Brosnan with the win in yesterday's downhill. He is B in this story, Thibaut Daprela was A Amaury Pierron made a return after his broken back with a third place.

I'm surprised to find out that England have never won their opening match at the Euro finals. Croatia to continue the streak today

Men's 5000m Luis Grijalva - 13:13.14 https://worldathletics.org/athletes/united-states/luis-grijalva-14749285 Men's Discus Throw Matthew Denny - 66.15 https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/australia/matthew-denny-14436890

I'm sure she will! She's fantastic! I want her to win a medal here. She has a good chance tomorrow, especially in clubs and ribbon.

Finally. He wanted Games to be cancelled so much that actually he cancelled himself, his the biggest achievnment here

Congratulations Brazil You deserve to be in Tokyo, your women were better today and even if it’s a deep lose to remain at home, I’m sire that unlike the Americans you actually have the level to upset “major” teams. Best wishes for your group in Tokyo.

One of the most entertaining F1 races of recent history was exactly 10 years ago. Canada 2011

Like I said before: The quality might be at an all-time low. Pretty much all the consistent players are gone. Now is the chance for young players like Gauff to break through. The Czech Republic (Noskova) also won the women’s junior competition! Noskova might not even be their biggest talent, Fruhvirtova is higher rated.

looks like that guy is retired now or found a new job. I'm going to miss his "Olympic is going to be cancelled", "Australia will pull the plug", "Biden will push the Plug" posts. they were fun for me

Lol there are like 5-6 more interesting Czech players and Krejcikova is the one to win a GS I think she was playing ITF tournaments leading up to last years RG.

I am disappointed with the results. I was expecting to qualify. They had a very creative routine and deserved more.

Adrian Meronk officialy qualified to US Open, he is first Polish golf player in history who qualified to Golf's Grand Slam
