You are cancelled for watching anything Russian, HoW DaRe YoU ?

He's done it! Luca Brecel becomes the first player from continental Europe to win Snooker World Championships! 18-15 after a solid comeback from Mark Selby in the last session to make it 16-15 but it was too much to overcome in the end!

Bratislava will host the Development Cup 2023 which will start tomorrow Sadly withdrew, so only 5 nations will compete @OlympicIRL & All matches will be streamed live https://www.iihf.com/en/news/44173/development_cup

Looks like only 1 per time trial and 2 per road cycling. WHich is what Chile received, but not explicitly listed as the caps in the qualification system

71 meters already......Exciting is definitely the right word to describe him

I really hope he will be back in Europe soon. He’s so exciting to follow

Cycling quotas: https://www.copaci.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ClasificadosJPANAM2023.pdf Looks like road cycling has some changes and tweaks. BMX: Wtf? lol

Obligations In America i'm afraid,however according to him,the first big Comp he will be in once back to Europe Should be in Stockholm .

I’ll be cheering for to advance out of the group

Ukraine is a mid-tier nation in judo, anyone who cares about judo should care that a mid tier nation will miss the World Championships who already suffered enough in a defensive war against a nation led by a madman. Putin's favorite sport is judo and many of his judokas are military personnel. So being this dismissive on the issue is quite insensitive. It's baffling to see this coming from a Lithuanian as NATO is only reason why you are fortune enough to not have the same faith as Ukraine.

I don't really think so. Olympics is all about money these days so I don't see too many nations interested in creating separate Games at all.

The entry lists for next weekend's first round of the world cup have been released and they make pretty poor reading for anyone who is a fan of the sport. There's no Team GB, no France, Italy, Australia, China or Poland. Germany have only entered the Men's Single Sculls and the Netherlands are only going for the Lightweight Women's Sculls. Add to that there's no USA or New Zealand - but looking at previous years, that's not hugely unusual. The depth in each event is ridiculously poor - the Women's Pair has only 5 entries listed and 3 of them are from Spain, whilst the Women's Quad only Ukraine and Switzerland.

Norman recently changed nationalities, going with her mother's heritage. There's not a lot of competition in Group F so she will definitely be a contender for a quota.

His attempt in 2020 ended up causing a bit of controversy as it led to the death of his primary horse and ultimately lost the quota due to his inability to achieve an additional MER result.

Looks like 20 Russian/Belarus athletes have been cleared to take part in the Judo World Championships next week. There's essentially a full slate in the women's weight divisions but on the men's side, no competitors listed in the -60Kg and nobody in the -81Kg division either. Apparently, an "independent, reputable company" was employed to perform background checks on all of the individuals to ensure there were no references to war propaganda. Got to assume that we will be hearing about the withdrawal of the Ukrainian team before too long.

Whoaaaa

Iduci mjesec su dva važna SP, judo i taekwondo. Pogotovo u taekwondo bi moglo biti odlučujuće za Pariz. Repka Judo: Z.Kumric 100kg Puljiz 52kg Topolovec 57kg Oberan i Kristo 63kg Matic i Cvjetko 70kg Pavic 78kg Radic +78kg Prodan je bila prijavljena, ali se odjavila, tako da nemamo punu kvotu od 9. Malo izneadjujuce da nema M.Kumrica i možda Bulica kod muškaraca koji su osvojili zlato nedavno u Dubrovniku. Repka taekwondo: Teskera 54kg Flegar 58kg Brecic 63kg Crep 68kg Golubic 74kg Nikolic 80kg Sapina 87kg Bozic+87kg Stojkovic 46kg B.Duvancic 49kg Karabatic 53kg I.Duvancic 57kg Arelic 62kg Pole 67kg Jelic 73kg Klepac +73kg ogromno iznenadjenje je da nema L.Glasnovica u 68kg (nije ozljedjen). Malo iznenadjenje je Pole u 67kg umjesto Klepac koja je prebačena u +73kg. Poslije ovog SP će biti jasno ko je još u igri za Pariz preko renkinga.
