Asian Championships Entry list https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1eee02d6-2759-659e-9ff0-c71089015e53 the list is still incomplete. no UZB , no KGZ yet. but PRK is there which means they will participate at the AQT too. making things harder for everybody. India team is also very incomplete and from what I know wrong. (this is their AQT list, not the AChamps list) from what I see some countries are sending their B-level wrestlers because of the obvious reason. but those big names already qualified are mostly here.

The coach of the French -23 team Thierry Henry announced that Antoine GRIEZMANN, Olivier GIROUD and Kylian MBAPPE were on the list of players called up for the French team at the Olympic Games, that would be great for us. https://www.leparisien.fr/jo-paris-2024/paris-2024-pour-les-jo-thierry-henry-espere-mbappe-griezmann-et-giroud-11-03-2024-4V7KFRAPRBGIFLB54DNXR3TP2Y.php

Who doesn't love Italian tennis? 😇

Luca Nardi defeated Djokovic at Indian Wells

We are missing the WC thread, but 37 NOC's will be competing Entry list

Overall, 31 nations qualified at least one quota. Here are the distribution: 5 Quotas 4 Quotas 3 Quotas 2 Quotas 1 Quota Quite well distributed. As expected, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan made up for their poor performance at the Asian qualifier.

I was bored so I'm making a simulation list of where the potential invitational quotas. I'm counting the NOCs that receibed a invitation to the Tokio games, I tried to left outr NOC's I think wont need them. If a NOC in that list has already qualified in one gender I put the invitation in the other one. In Paris only 100 meters and marathon quotas are up to invitation, + 3 athletes in 800 per gender. So, as of now, this is how I think the potential distribution could go: Men's 100 - & . This next countries dont have any athletes in WA's recent results so I'm copyng what the got in Tokio 2020: & Men's Marathon - & Women's 100 - & . This next countries dont have any athletes in WA's recent results so I'm copyng what the got in Tokio 2020: Women's Marathon - & I don't know how the three 800 quotas would be decided, is to open to foretell, but according to the world ranking, right now the three best at the men's are Saint Vincent, Guyana and Andorra; and in the woman's it would be: Sri Lanka, Uruguay and Iceland.

Thats right. https://www.worldarchery.sport/news/201546/no-olympic-return-san-reigning-champ-misses-korean-team

Our trials were completed just yesterday. Aman won the 57kg as Ravi lost both his group stages, failing to progress to knockout. Bajrang met a similar fate albeit in semis

Triple gold medallist from Tokyo An San didn't even make Last 16 at the national quals so I guess she won't defend her title?

yes the sports federations really give themselves the means, Antoine Dupont, Wembanyama

It's possible that Mbappe can play if he stays at PSG as long as Olympics will be in Paris

You just wrote Germany can't be paired with Spain or France (which means they will face the United States). It's a shame we are drawn into Pot 3, but if we can't defeat Brazil or Japan then we are probably not winning a medal

https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1144165/russian-tennis-still-banned-paris-2024 This is very interesting article 😅😅😅. ITF has allowed Russian and Belorussian athletes to compete in Paris. But at the same time, non of them can do that. As one of the most important rule is to represent your country in Davis Cup or Billie Jean King Cup. And They weren't allowed to participate since 2021. So what now? They will try to apply for an exception? Would it actually work? I am wondering, is ITF playing this game to give the chance to make it to the Games but at the same time, they will find out that they won't make it?

No, I very much do not like Djokovic, but the heart reaction is simply because it's an awesome surprise: a player from outside the top-100 beating one of the players who always win the big events, I don't see how that isn't cool Same with the Grand Slams in the past eternity or so. The wins of Sinner, Alcaraz, Medvedev, Thiem were awesome, instead of always Djokovic, Nadal or Federer (and the hype that goes with it, that always goes along the lines of "wow, Nadal/Djokovic/Federer wins historic 532th Grand Slam title, he is for sure the GOAT!", year after year....you know, media people, at some point it's just not special anymore).

So, with that in mind here are the draw restrictions. - can’t draw - can’t draw (Germany is guaranteed to be in the same group as United States) - can’t draw - can’t draw Ideally, best case scenario for Canada would be to draw Spain, Brazil, and New Zealand, as it’ll possibly give us the best possible draw for the quarterfinals.

@heywoodu @dullard do you not like Djokovic or something? Neither of you are Italian, so I’m curious as to why both of you heart reacted to Gianlu’s reply.

I hope that works out and we'll see a Slovak hockey team in LA 2028

Although Canada has in fact qualified a male boxer, I feel your pain…

I’ll update this in parts, I can’t be bothered to do it all right now. When it’s fully finished I’ll quote myself so all of you can see (and share your opinions) Archery (2) - We’ve already secured a men’s quota. We should secure a women’s quota through the Pan Am Qualifier. Artistic Swimming (8) - Already qualified a full team. Athletics (43) - Additional 27 athletes through the OQS and Road To Paris Ranking. Full Breakdown: Men’s 100m- Andre DeGrasse, Brendon Rodney, Jerome Blake (+1) Men’s 200m- Andre DeGrasse, Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney Men’s 400m- Christopher Morales-Williams Men’s 800m- Marco Arop Men’s 1500m- Charles Philibert-Thiboutot, Kieran Lumb (+1) Men’s 5000m- Benjamin Flanagan, Mo Ahmed Men’s 10000m- Mo Ahmed Men’s 3000m Steeplechase- Jean-Simon Desgagnes (+1) Men’s Marathon- Cameron Levins, Rory Linkletter Men’s 20km Race Walk- Evan Dunfee Men’s 4x100m Relay- Andre DeGrasse, Brendon Rodney, Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Malachi Murray (+1) Men’s Decathlon- Damian Warner, Pierce LePage Men’s Hammer Throw- Ethan Kazberg, Adam Keenan, Rowan Hamilton (+2) Women’s 100m- Khamica Bingham (+1) Women’s 200m- Jacqueline Madogo (+1) Women’s 400m- Madeline Price, Grace Konrad, Kyra Constantine (+3) Women’s 800m- Jazz Shukla (+1) Women’s 1500m- Gabriela De Bues Stafford, Lucia Stafford (+2) Women’s 5000m- Julie An Staeli, Brianna Scott (+2) Women’s 100m Hurdles- Mariam Abdul-Rashid, Michelle Harrison (+2) Women’s 400m Hurdles- Brooke Overholt, Savannah Sutherland, Sage Watson (+3) Women’s 3000m Steeplechase- Celi McCabe, Regan Yee, Grace Fetherstonhaugh (+3) Women’s 4x400m Relay- Zoe Sherar, Aiyana Stiverne, Savannah Sutherland, Sage Watson, Kyra Constantine, Grace Konrad (+2) Women’s Pole Vault- Alysha Newman, Anicka Newell (+1) Women’s Marathon- Malindi Elmore Women’s Hammer Throw- Camryn Rogers, Jillian Weir (+1) Women’s Shot Put- Sarah Mitton I left a bunch of names off. No Brandon McBride, Justyn Knight, Ben Priesner, Django Lovett, Natasha Wodak among others. Breaking (1) - Philip Kim has already qualified. Tiffany Leung has a decent chance through the OQS (I think?) but I don’t see her qualifying and frankly I couldn’t care. Badminton (4) - Athletes in men’s singles, women’s singles, and men’s doubles. United States takes the continental quotas in women’s doubles and mixed doubles unfortunately. Boxing (3-5) - Tammara Thibeault and Wyatt Sanford have already qualified. Watched Alexis Barriere for the first time this week, and damn he’s good. Such a shame that he missed out on qualifying today on a split decision. I have him qualifying at the World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, along with either Charlie Cavanaugh (if she gets the nod over Kali) or Scarlett Delgado. Basketball (28) - Women’s 3x3 team should join our men’s and women’s teams in Paris. But then again, I said the same thing about Erin Brooks in surfing, so… Canoe Slalom (2-3) - United States and Brazil have qualified in both women’s C1/K1, so we should secure quotas at the Pan American Qualifier. Maybe we can qualify in either men’s C1/K1 as well. Canoe Sprint (18) - Additional boats in men’s K2-500m, men’s C1-1000m, men’s C2-500m, and women’s K2-500m, but really it depends on the squad that we send to the Pan American Qualifier. Cycling (13-21) - One each in men’s and women’s mountain biking, and women’s BMX racing. Men’s and women’s sprint teams in track cycling, and maybe our women’s and men’s team pursuit? Equestrian (9) - Full team already qualified. Diving (5) - Was expecting more quotas, but our top women in 3m completely flopped at Worlds both this and last year (except in synchro at Fukuoka). I was also hoping for Kate Miller to grab a quota in women’s 10m but not as disappointing. Fencing (10-12) - We’ve already qualified in men’s team sabre, and men’s and women’s team foil. With only one sabre WC still to go, Pamela Brind’Amour is in a great position to qualify herself individually, she’s 15 points clear of the next highest eligible Pan American athlete (the rest are all Americans, who have already qualified a team) and for a WC there’s only 32 points available. In men’s and women’s epee, while our athletes will probably be the favourites heading into the Pan American Qualifier, it’s very tight between a couple of countries, I could see it going either way. Edit 2: March 18 Football (18) - Women’s team has already qualified. Golf (4) - Two men and two women. Leaning towards Corey Conners and Nick Taylor for the men. For the women, it’s probably going to be Maude Aimee Leblanc and Brooke Henderson. Gymnastics (11) - Men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics teams have already qualified. We’ve also secured a quota in women’s trampoline. I don’t see us securing a men’s trampoline quota by looking at the Olympic Ranking unfortunately. Judo (5-6) - Quotas in men’s -73kg, men’s -81kg, men’s -100kg, women’s -57kg, and women’s -63kg for sure. Maybe one of men’s -90kg/men’s -66kg/women’s -52kg. Rowing (24) - We’ve already qualified in women’s eight and women’s lightweight double sculls. I have us qualifying women’s quadruple sculls and men’s eight boats at the Final Regatta. Rugby Sevens (12) - Already qualified a women’s team, and there’s pretty much no chance for the men. Sailing (7) - Men’s ICLA7 through the last chance regatta (I’m not feeling very optimistic however) in addition to our already secured quotas in women’s kite, women’s ICLA6, women’s 49er FX, and men’s 49er. Skateboarding (4) - Ryan Decenzo, Cordano Russell, and Matt Berger (before I was thinking Micky Papa) in men’s street, and Fay Ebert in women’s park. Sport Climbing (0-1) - Maybe one of Sean McColl/Alannah Yip? Surfing (1) - Was expecting three surfers (adding Erin Brooks and Cody Young), instead we only qualify one. Disaster. Table Tennis (4) - Men’s Team has already qualified. We should secure a women’s quota through the Pan American Qualifier. Taekwondo (1) - Taekwondo Canada made some stupid choices on athlete selection for the Pan American Qualifier, so looks like Skylar Park in women’s -57kg will be our only representative. Triathlon (4) - Two men’s quotas and two women’s quotas, therefore qualifying us for the mixed team relay. Tennis (6) - Felix Auger-Aliassime (men’s singles), Leylah Fernandez (women’s singles), and Gaby Dabrowski (women’s doubles) through the Olympic Ranking. PR for Milos Raonic, Denis Shapovalov, and Bianca Andresscu. Volleyball (16) - We’ve already qualified a men’s volleyball team and Melissa Humana Parades/Brandie Wilkerson in women’s beach volleyball. A second women’s beach (either Pavan/McBain or Bansley/Bukovec) volleyball pairing should join them through NORCECA. I don’t have much optimism for either Schachter/Dearing or our women’s volleyball team. Weightlifting (1-2) - Quota in women’s 59kg, and possibly men’s 89kg. Wrestling (7) - Additional quotas in women’s 68kg and women’s 53kg. We’ve already secured quotas in women’s 57kg, women’s 62kg, women’s 76kg, men’s 86kg freestyle, and men’s 125kg freestyle. Waterpolo (12) - Women’s team has already qualified.

Singapore would work, but what would Brunei contribute? Lawn bowling?

That's a suprise. I thought would not be able to manage Ramadan and sports together as you indicated prior

If they were willing to share a few events with Singapore, or even Brunei, that might work even better.

THE LOGO The Radio is symbol of TAISC 2024 This year marks the centenary of the beginning of radio broadcasts in Italy (October 6th, 1924) In Italy, which on a technological level was the homeland of radio, use of radio transmissions was permitted only for military purposes, and a 1910 law prohibited its use by civilians. Only in 1924, a late compared to the rest of the world, began the commercial broadcasts. For the logo the radio chosen is Radio Cubo ts522, this model is designed in 1962 by architects Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper and marketed since 1964 by Brionvega, an Italian company (active from 1945 to 1994) specialized in the consumer electronics sectors. Examples of this radio are permanently exhibited at the MOMA in New York and at the modern art museums of La Jolla, Osaka and Sao Paulo. Key dates of italian radio history In August 1924 the Italian Radio Union (URI) was born, it held the government concession to broadcast and there was only one radio station. January 1928 - URI becomes EIAR (Italian Auditing Body). Italian radio becomes a means of mass communication December 13th, 1931 the first radio commentary of the football match was broadcast (Italy vs Hungary) After the end of the war in 1944, Rai (Radio Audizioni Italiane) was born and the radio entered the homes of the majority of Italians. In 1950 the reform of the radio system established the creation of three networks In 1951 the first edition of the Sanremo Festival was broadcast live In 1976 did the RAI monopoly lapse thanks to a ruling by the Constitutional Court and the broadcasters already active in Italy (around 400), so-called "pirate radio" will then become "free radio" In the 1980s, private national radio stations began to emerge, many of which are still active today Italian committee: Henry_Leon @Pablita @Gianlu33 @SteveParker Big thanks at @vinipereira the author of the logo Eugenio Finardi - La Radio (1976-written by: Lucio Fabbri, Eugenio Finardi)
