Looks like there are some restrictions: There can be a maximum of two European teams in each group and not more than three European teams in each tournament. There can be a maximum of one Americas team per group. There can be a maximum of one team from Asia and Oceania in each tournament. There can be a maximum of one team from Africa into each tournament. Some fun quirks due to the restrictions. can not be in the same tournament meaning Mexico will be the Pan American nation which doubles up. can not be in the same tournament due to keeping Asian & African teams separate.

Thanksgiving game #1 will start soon. Lions (8-2) with their best season start since 1962 will host the Packers. First Thanksgiving game was played in 1934:

it might look as follows: Pot #1 (no. 2 in the WR) (8) (14) (16) Pot #2 (10) (11) (12) (13) Pot #3 (15) (17) (18) (20) Pot #4 (21) (23) (25) (28) Pot #5 (30) (33) (34) (38) Pot #6 (41) (57) (67) (69)

So much for being a backup qualifying meet for the Olympics.

Apparently Tonga beat second seed in 1/4 and (non olympic) in 1/2 to quialify to the final. was beaten by (non olympic) in 1/2. So, yes, in theory, Tonga has won the quota.

I, for one, am not upset that gets to host the least important (for swimming anyway) World Aquatics Championships ever.

I still recovering from Covid. Please @Olympian1010can you post Sweden’s votes for me? I will try to be online for some parts but I’m still needs to rest. Good luck everyone.

10-0

leading 8-0 after 4 ends

4-0 in the first end in v . Surely a nice start.

Names the first individuals - Alex Yee & Beth Potter. 4 more places to be fought for next year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/triathlon/67504905

https://www.fiba.basketball/news/draw-principles-announced-for-fiba-olympic-qualifying-tournaments-2024-draw So, for top teams, you would obviously want to avoid Bahamas from 6th and Croatia from 5th pot and you would be pleased if you get Poland from the 2nd. Good thing they didn't put Puerto Rico in the first pot. It would be unfair advantage and put Slovenia in 2nd pot

Pätz is leading the stats for fourths by around 10% and had the best % of all ladies. That is not common for a for a fourth player.

Championships start with bad news, but it doesn’t seem strange for Nigerian standards. Boats have not arrived, and the course has some of the lanes infested with vegetation. For those who can speak french here’s the post at Algerian Federation.

Winter Paralympians and world medalists in cross-country skiing, Aline Rocha and Cristian Ribera are now Parapan American Games medalists Despite winning multiple medals in Track, Brazil has no tradition in wheelchair events, so good move bringing them to the Games.

Right, when Europe's Putin congratulates you, you might want to think again...

They already did that a while ago, including checks. Or at least they prepared it and started with the checks. Which in at least one occassion led to a bottle of fluor being found in the Brazilian wax cabine at an IBU Cup

Yes, the full ban goes into effect this season.

Isn't it time to be done with those cheap spots through the Nations League? I mean, come on: Estonia get one (1) single point in eight qualifying matches, and is still in the race because they're in the easy Nations League division, whereas quite a few clearly stronger nations are out because they're in a harder Nations League division...I know this was obvious since the beginning of this system, but this is just ridiculous
