yesssssss!!! quota for Maldini!

It does make it easier and better to view for non-regular viewers if the differences in the categories are only limited to the number of athletes in the boat and the oars (or however it's called) they're using, and something less visible like weight isn't really a thing anymore. Lightweight classes have often felt a bit like a category for rowers who are too small, like if there's a special volleyball competition for people under 1.65m

Youssef KOUDSSI with a 61.55 in the discuss, a new PB

Yeah, the lack of actual grand stands makes this "stadium" look quite unique. I wonder if it suddenly becomes the new go-to-place for throwers

GSOC Players Championship | Toronto, Ontario, Canada I’ve been kind of slacking with the curling updates lately my fault. Men 1. Team Gushue 2. Team Retornaz 3. Team Mouat 3. Team McEwen @Gianlu33 What a class act Retornaz is. After the the final was over, he tipped his hat to Gushue. Wasn’t one of my favourite curlers before today, but he’s grown on me a lot with that gesture. Women 1. Team Tirinzoni 2. Team Wrana 3. Team Homan 3. Team Gim A Players Championship title still eludes Homan, but still another solid week for the team. Full Results

Team Tirinzoni and Team Gushue are the men’s and women’s champions at the GSOC Players Championship!

With just over 100 days to go I decided to do another medal prediction, but this time on a day to day basis. Day 1 Saturday 27 July (0-1 medals) Road cycling: Ellen van Dijk (W time trial) Day 2 Sunday 28 July (0-2 medals) Mountain bike: Puck Pieterse (W cross country) Swimming: Arno Kamminga or Caspar Corbeau (M 100m breast) Day 3 Monday 29 July (0-1 medals) Swimming: Tes Schouten (W 100m breast) Day 4 Tuesday 30 July (0-1 medals) Judo: Joanne van Lieshout (W -63kg) Day 5 Wednesday 31 July (3-5 medals) Judo: Sanne van Dijke (W -70kg) Rowing: M4x and W4x Swimming: Marrit Steenbergen (W 100m free) and Caspar Corbeau (M 200m breast) Day 6 Thursday 1 August (4-7 medals) Judo: Michael Korrel (M -100kg) and Guusje Steenhuis (W -78kg) Rowing: M2x and W4- Sailing: Duetz/Van Aanholt (W skiff) and Van de Werken/Lambriex (M skiff) Swimming: Tes Schouten (W 200m breast) Day 7 Friday 2 August (2-5 medals) Archery: Mixed team BMX racing: Niek Kimmann or Laura Smulders Judo: Marit Kamps (W +78kg) Rowing: W2- Sailing: Luc van Opzeeland (M IQFoil) Day 8 Saturday 3 August (3-5 medals) Athletics: Mixed 4x400m relay Road cycling: Mathieu van der Poel (M road race) Rowing: W1x, M1x and M8- Day 9 Sunday 4 August (0-2 medals) Equestrian: Dinja van Liere (dressage) Road cycling: Lorena Wiebes or Demi Vollering (W road race) Day 10 Monday 5 August (0-1 medals) Athletics: Sifan Hassan (W 5000m?) Day 11 Tuesday 6 August (1-2 medals) Sailing: Marit Bouwmeester (W dinghy) Track Cycling: M team sprint Day 12 Wednesday 7 August (0-1 medals) Sailing: Laila van der Meer / Bjarne Bouwer (mixed multihull) Day 13 Thursday 8 August (2-4 medals) Athletics: Femke Bol (W 400mH) Hockey: Men’s team Swimming: Sharon van Rouwendaal (W 10 km open water) Track cycling: Hetty van der Wouw (W Keirin) Day 14 Friday 9 August (2-4 medals) Athletics: Lieke Klaver (W 400m) Breaking: India Sardjoe (W breaking) Hockey: Women’s team Track Cycling: Harrie Lavreysen (M sprint) Day 15 Saturday 10 August (1-3 medals) Athletics: Women’s 4x400m relay and Abdi Nageeye (M marathon) Water polo: Women’s team Day 16 Sunday 11 August (1-2 medals) Athletics: Sifan Hassan (W marathon??) Track Cycling: Harrie Lavreysen (M keirin) Any day (0-2 medals) Surprise medals: preferrably Niels Laros (M 1500m) and W handball or volleyball team (what can I say, the more surprising the better) Total prediction (19-47 medals) +/- 10 golds +/- 11 silvers +/- 12 bronze I feel like the day-by-day version made the numbers too optimistic. Some names I'm thinking more like 'one out of these 4 judoka's will probably win a medal', but it shows as a medal chances on 4 days, instead of just 1 expected medal. Overall I'm a bit more optimistic than the 25 medals I predicted last time, I'll say 30 medals this time!

Marrit Steenbergen improved her 200m medley PB and NR by 0,3s to 2.08,86 yesterday. Also swam a 52,72 100 meter freestyle same day at the Eindhoven Qualification Meet. Only new qualifiers from the Eindhoven Qualification Meet are Tessa Giele (100m butterfly) and Valerie van Roon (50m freestyle).

Pot 1: Pot 2: Pot 3: Pot 4: Pot 5: Pot 6: What a weird pots ... why Norway and France not in the same pot? Clearly the two best teams in the world.

Much, much easier than expected. The strongest showing from the Hungarian girls in recent years, hopefully they can bring this kind of energy to Paris.

Very unlucky not to score another 45 points and win the game.

We will be sending a full team in Rifle & Pistol to Paris Getting our 16/16th quota place. ( Although we might have a double starter in 10m & 25m AP women) This is also our 20th shooting quota & we will be sending our largest shooting contingent ever to Paris, hopefully we get some medals in Paris after disappointment in Rio & Tokyo. We now have qualified 67 athletes (excluding reserves/alternates) in 11 sports ( counting 1 from weightlifting & 7 from badminton, which will be made official this month end.) The long trip to Rio ,targeting for this single quota is a success

Pistol 10 M Women's Qualified Olympic Games

We may still have Thomas racing for the quota at the LCR and have Bourne race it at the games, who I thought looked really good today. But regardless who it is, it's pretty safe to say we'll get the quota along with Italy.

Oooh yes, we might have one of those classics again.....Lorena Wiebes sprinted for the win in the Amstel Gold Race and celebrated....but it was too early and Marianne Vos passed her on the line I keep wondering how someone can act so unmeasurably dumb as a pro cyclist (and the best sprinter in the world, mind you)

Olympic quota for

Speaking as someone who is 1.64m tall I'm in favour of that rule

qualifies for Azerbaijan.

Thanks for everything. It’s time to try something new My favourite for the 400m gold sounds like she’s retiring…

Heather Bansley/Sophie Bukovec through to the semifinals at the Guadalajara Challenge, including a big straight sets win over #1 seeds Huberli/Brunner in the round of 16!

Unbelievable mess in the men’s omnium points race. Hayter wins but somehow isn’t credited with a lap leading to a 20 min delay while the officials try to figure out what happened. Shambles 🤣

Would have won a medal at the last Olympics and each World Championships since 2020.

Gina Lückenkemper ist bei ihrem ersten Saisonrennen in Florida genau die geforderte Bestätigungsnorm mit 11,22 gelaufen,

Sven Schwarz hat in Eindhoven ebenfalls erneut die Norm über die 1.500m Freistil geschafft und hat somit nun auch die offizielle DSV-Norm erfüllt. Sicher ist seine Teilnahme aber noch nicht, da es auf den langen Freistil-Strecken bei den Männern ja einen großen Kreis möglicher Olympia-Teilnehmer gibt, die ihn noch verdrängen könnten.

Duenas isn’t Spanish though? He’s Filipino-Canadian.

Do you have any actual evidence to back that up, or are you just guessing? Because unless Freya chooses not to go or her illness gets worse again, I would be stunned if GB don't take her. Even if just as relay cover. We saw in London that Freya at 90% (her description) is still good enough to be in the 4x100m free team. With the 4x200m and mixed medley as well, it would be crazy to not take her. It would be utterly self defeating to not select her.
