Olympic qualification situation after the men’s short program: / Olympic qualification situation after the pairs’ short program: /

The 2025 world championships, as was expected (and hoped), have been awared to Kigali Sure, politically it's not exactly great that another (semi?)dictatorship gets it, but for the people in a cycling-crazy country it is absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere will no doubt be truly magical! Plus it could simply be a great race, which can be incredibly hard. Twelve times a 21km lap would be perfectly possible with over 5000 'altitude meters'.

You can add Brazil to that list as well. They're making short lists of athletes who could qualify and one requirement to be on the short list is to be fully vaccinated. Not on the short list = not going to the Olympics.

USA is so desperate to get rid of immigrants they ship them back to Haiti by plane. So much for Joe Biden being any different with the immigrants than Trump https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-58650753

Meanwhile Great Britain used to pay money for civilian deaths. 4,000 pounds for death of four children? Man, life must be valued cheap in the UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58653492

You can take a test to see if you have antibodies from COVID. Really simple stuff. If you can verify vaccines you can verify natural immunity.

From the IIHF... Olympic schedule announced Men's field is all set. Women's field still has 3 teams to qualify. And remember the women's tournament has expanded to 10 teams, so they'll start play the day before the opening ceremony. Men's format is identical to the last 3 Olympics

Meanwhile, the French women nearly kicked out the South Koreans. Nearly.

Interesting to realize his last individual podium is already from nearly 7 (!) years ago. Time seriously flies I kinda thought he had already retired, completely missed/forgot that he competed last season in a few World Cups (without success). Last week I saw super-one-day-fly Thomas Diethart is also still competing. Good that he is at least physically fine again after his horror crash.

I think it’s just easier for the USOPC to make it an all team policy. That way there’s no “how come they don’t have to,” or “they didn’t get it so neither did I.” That’s my guess anyways.

It’s silly how they aren’t giving exemptions for athletes with natural immunity (which is stronger than vaccine immunity).

USOPC joins the list of NOCs requiring vaccination.

CONCACAF CHAMPIONS Suriname Vice President Plays in Concacaf League Match at 60 Years Old His efforts were in vain on Tuesday, however, with Inter Moengotapoe losing 6–0, and things took a turn after the match, with video circulating of Brunswijk handing out money to Olimpia players in the opposing locker room. Concacaf issued a statement Wednesday expressing concern and stating that an investigation would take place. https://twitter.com/radioamericahn/status/1440514655735091206?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1440514655735091206|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fsoccer%2F2021%2F09%2F22%2Fsuriname-vice-president-plays-in-soccer-match-at-60-years-old

Sadly for the Brazilian men, they had to face South Korea and lost. Women on the other hand will fight for bronze Mexico secured two medals advancing to finals in men’s team compound and women’s team recurve, so a pretty decent result.
