"The North American and European political left" describes both people and positions I agree with 100% and people and positions that I think are batshit crazy so... xD

Ok, you have a good point for having your position, i really dont believe it can be more "popular" for its characteristics".

Nothing to do with taste, there are Olympic sports I genuinely dislike (dressage, golf, sailing, shooting and taekwondo come to mind) who's presence on the Olympic program I have no big issues with, and there are sports I quite like (lacrosse...) that I think have no business being in the Olympics.
 
My issue with modern pentathlon is entirely that it takes up a venue and 72 athletes that could be better used on virtually anything else. If there wasn't a 10,500 athlete limit and deep cuts across a bunch of sports it would be a different conversation.

First of all, i say to you the same i sayed to a compatriot of you: not all the world is the same, in my country we really dont have important "racials problems" and the "social justice" has another meaning in my country than yours, if you ask me what do you think about social justice, i will say to you: is one of the most injustice existing thing.
 
1) You dont have a clear position, ok, nothing wrong with that.
 
2) I used an example, is not the only sport case, just to be understand the idea. When somebody dont know something, is an ignorant or uninformed about the subject, i really dont know why somebody who dont know what you saying is stupid for that, by the way, i never say is something "modern", with Jacques Rogge and Thomas Bach we can see an increase of the "gender equality".
 
3) Ok, i get it, you really dont like Modern Pentathlon and it shouldn be an olympic sport, you dont say why, is only question of taste?, i dont like too much some sports and i dont think them "mustn be an olympics sports".
By the way: im not a big fan of MP, just "one more sport" for me.

Ramon Quiroga, our probably best boxer wins.......thanks for sharing the results guys!!

Im sure you know what is the pointing but ok, i found a definition:  aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
 
Dont worry @Olympian1010, is only about olympism and no more than that, for me this ideology bring some problems:
 
1) Transgenders in females sport 
 
2) Equal gender: originaly nothing bad but destroys males categories like the C2 in canoeing slalom
 
3) For a single action that happen in Tokyo, the modern pentathlon wont have equestrian anymore.
 
There are a few i can remember but can be more, i read you.

Vieron que despues de los juegos se termina el apoyo al alto rendimiento? 
 
Máxima preocupación en el deporte de alto rendimiento: ¿el Gobierno deja de financiarlo después de los JJOO? - Doble Amarilla
 
 
Pasamos a ser como USA pero sin el deporte universitario jaja

Historically the longest period for voting we ever had, but people & scrambling towards deadlines is just a law of nature  

Elian Larregina en 400 metros, Nazareno Sasia, Joaquin Gomez y German Chiaraviglio se estan clasificando hoy por ranking, verifique recién.

Session two results are up

Quota for the hosts,  

I currently have about the Facebook pages of around 20 boxing federations open.  There is no single source so am relying on federations posting their own results.

Yay! Good for Waleska, it will be her 2nd Olympic Games. 
In the picture when she won silver at Panamerican Games Santiago 2023

Evening session is underway - will try to post as many of the results as possible as I come across them:
 
Women's 50Kg -  Claudia Totova def.  Aylin Jamez

Predictions- Part 2 (W50,W57,M51,M71,M92+ on page 5)
W60KG
 
Only three quotas here but I will stick with the same format as the other ones and pick the four semi-finalists and then predict who misses out at the end.
 
Bracket 1
 
My pick- Rimma Volossenko (3) , Other contenders- Miroslava Jedinakova (10) , Camila Pineiro (14) .
The draw has been kind to Rimma Volossenko and she should make the semi finals here. Her first couple of fights are very easy before meeting Camila Pinerio in her third fight. 2022 63kg European under 22 champion Miroslava Jedinakova should be waiting in a quarter final provided she beats Hanna Okhrei (19) . Jedinakova is an tricky opponent and I wouldn't rule out an upset here.
 
Bracket 2
 
My pick- Oh Yeon-ji (2) , Other contenders- Krisandy Rios (6) , Chelsey Heijnen (15) .
Interesting opening round fight here between Krisandy Rios and Riza Pasuit (18) . Should be prove a good test for Rios before meeting former Asian champion Oh Yeonji in the last 16. Oh has the pedigree to cruise to a quota here but her recent form has been a bit dodgy. If she can come through against Rios then the winner of Laura Akram (29)vs Anna Jenni (17)  who are both capable boxers. Chelsey Heijnen should cruise through her first couple of fights but has struggled with consistency of late. I think Oh will come through here but both Rios and Heijnen could push her close.
 
Bracket 3
 
My pick- Agnes Alexiusson (4) , Other contenders- Alesia Mesiano (7) , Elida Kocharyan (8) , Jaismine (9) .
Not the strongest bracket but should throw up some fascinating fights as a result. The closest fight will likely be Agnes Alexiusson vs Alesia Mesiano in the last 32 although Alexiusson does need to beat Kiria Tapia (21)  first. I'd give the slight edge to Alexiusson but stylistically they are quite similar and this is the type of fight that home advantage could proves crucial. The winner will then face Elida Kocharyan which should also be a close fight. The top half of the bracket sees an opening fight between Jaismine and Ayaka Taguchi (13) with Sara Beram (12)  awaiting the winner. I don't know which of the three will come through but after a test against Loredana Marin (24) , they would then face a quarter final against Alexiusson, Mesiano or Kocharyan. There are too many evenly matched boxers in this bracket so not a chance do I get this one right but for me Alexiusson is the most talented.
Bracket 4
My pick- Shona Whitwell (1) , Other contenders- Donjeta Sadiku (5) ,Lenka Bernardova (11) .
European heavy final bracket with the marquee matchup being Donjeta Sadiku against Whitwell. These two also matched up in their opening fight at European games and I picked Whitwell. Sadiku won a split on that occasion but I'm stubborn so I'm picking Whitwell again.  The winner should reach the quarter finals. 2022 European silver medallist Lenka Bernardova has a challenging path to be the other half of that quarter final with fights against Felicitas Ganglbauer (22) and the one of Sheila Martinez (20)  and Raykhona Kodirova (16) .
Quota Fights
Rimma Vollosenko vs Oh Yeon-ji,
Agnes Alexiusson vs Shona Whitwell.
 
There is no way these four end up being right but for me Oh should win if she gets this far and Whitwell is slightly more talented than Alexiusson. Vollosenko has multiple wins against Alexiusson in the past so I guess have the quotas as Oh Yeon-ji (2) , Shona Whitwell (1) and Rimma Vollosenko (3) . However there isn't much between the top 10 or so boxers here and a different set of matchups could lead to very different results. 
 
W54kg
 
Bracket 2
My pick- Sara Cirkovic (8) , Other contenders- Jennifer Lehane (4) , Zhaina Shekerbekova (5) , Romane Moulai (10) , Scarlett Delgado (12) .
I've mentioned before how the top 20 or so bantamweights in the world are all of a very similar standard and we see that manifested straight off the bat. Romane Moulai comes into the French squad and has a very tough fight against Jennifer Lehane. I would expect Lehane to win but Sara Cirkovic awaits the winner in the next round. Lehane beat Cirkovic on a 3-2 split at Europeans but Cirkovic has added a European under 22 title to her 2022 youth world championship. 2022 Asian champion Zhaina Shekerbekova meets the winner in what also should be a standout fight. Scarlett Delgado should be waiting in the qualifying fight as long as she can beat Sara Svennson (21)  in her opening fight. There is very little between Lehane, Cirkovic and Shekerbekova but I'm going to pick the youth to come through.
Bracket 2
My pick- Jutamas Jitpong (2) , Other contenders- Johana Gomez (9) , Shera Mae Patricio (13) , Sofia Robles (14) .
This one really shouldn't be in doubt. Jutamas Jitpong should be far too good for the various Americas heavy opposition that stands between her and the Olympics. Her first fight is against Johana Gomez who she beat at world champs last year. Former kickboxer Claudine Veloso (20) or Mikoto Harada (17)  then await before a qualifying fight against Sofia Robles, Shera Mae Patricio or Asya Ari (23) . 
Bracket 3
My pick- Hsiao Wen Huang (1) , Other contenders- Sirine Charaabi (6) , Sandra Drabik (7) .
World champion Hsiao Wen Huang looks to right the wrongs of a very controversial exit to Yuan Chang  at Asian games. Draw could have been kinder but she is unlikely to be challenged by Denisse Bravo (29) or whichever she meets of Melissa Mortenson (15)  or Im Aeji (22) . The other side of the bracket sees a highlight matchup between Sandra Drabik and Sirine Charaabi. Drabik comes into this competition with impressive early 2024 form but lost to Charaabi last November albeit that fight was in Italy, then again of course so will this one. Marta Lopez del Arbol (16)  would then stand between them and a qualifying fight. Drabik is more talented and more likely to beat Huang but Charaabi is at home and I can feel like will win again here. I can't see her beating Huang though.
 
Bracket 4
My pick- Anastasia Kovalchuk (3) , Other contenders- Thi Kim Anh Vo (11) .
Anastasia Kovalchuk has struggles since winning 2022 Europeans but has got as good a draw as she could have asked for. She won't be challenged at all until a qualifying fight almost certainly against Thi Kim Anh Vo provided Vo can beat Estefani Almanzar (18) .

Hay por marcas pero estoy dando por supuesto que nadie va a clasificar asi sacando la maraton.

There is no link on live results unfortunately

Further proof that are not interested in joining BRICS 

I kept on telling my friends recently that I feel I live in New York not in Cairo due to the big number of foreigners I see everyday and it seems I was right 😅. 
 
Actually I'm sure that the number of refugees and immigrants are much bigger than that from countries that have ongoing problems for years especially Sudan , Syria and Yemen 

Wtf I was using a tool to look for her using her name Lourdes... and the ranking it is just Maria (I didnt even now that she was named Maria Lourdes haha).
 
Thanks guys, now it is correct.

Por lo menos el 470 termino peleando el cuarto puesto contra Turquia de cara al Preolímpico Mundial, asique ahi se podria conseguir la plaza.
 
La lucha una decepcion, al menos Linda Machuca llego a las semifinales algo que no esperaba
 
Lo del surf era una loteria, podia pasar cualquier cosa

A very expensive pay service too :<

Not for free, no.

flowrestling.org but it's a pay service.

Disappointment for  Morais and K. Godinez as well 
 
Morais was even 9-0 up on her opponent but lost by fall.
