Not a great championship to be honest. Really failed miserably in pistol events with no quotas. Rifle was good with 3/4 quotas. Anything less than 2 golds and 5 medals in Olympic events was always bad. It's good to have something like that now so that expectations will be less next year.

50m3P is our pet event now in both genders. One of the other big event is women's 10m Air Rifle where we won bronze courtesy Mehuli Ghosh and missing in quota due to 1 per nation rule, Tilottama Sen at 4th place, the 15 year old. Expecting both to make it to Paris next year through trials. 

10m Air Rifle Women is the first event  at the games which will decide our shooting teams as well as entire country's Olympic performance.

36 countries have entered athletes into Russia’s abridged (and unaffiliated) University Games. They’ve basically left their plans for the 2023 FISU Summer University Games in place, but turned it to a competition for BRICS, SCO, and CIS nations.

 

 the notable absences amongst those political organizations.

 will also compete as a separate nation, so I’m sure that won’t cause any controversy 

Any streaming for the event? If someday I feel bored with nothing to watch I might just watch some action

Every second thread here is someone looking to get rid of an established Olympic sport, or complaining that an established Olympic sport is under threat 😂

At least people complain about Sailing should be at the games or not. 

I don't think so most people even care to open the modern pentathlon thread to comment about it, shows how many are really interested in the sport.

What a mouthwathering semis. The Ashes of Football

World Cup favourites Matildas struggling against France. Still 0-0.Hope the Australians will win on penalties for a semis against Colombia and the finals against Sweden.

If Wikipedia doesn't lie this could end up decided by field goals scored if there is a tie.   

  

For now Australia has scored one more of them. 

Isn't it 5 - 5

I'm quite confident we'll get a quota in Nacra. Some of these duos mentioned are not better than our guys.

Right  can win a medal even a gold in Nacra.

It is weird though that the chance even exists of having a group match repeat in the semi's instead of in the final  

If Nigeria won shoot off they could have faced favourites Australia in semis in repeat of group game. 

Must say I don't like iQFoil. RS:X was way better 

Dinghy Laser,  Two person Dinghy is Mixed 470 wow 

Karyna Kazlouskaya, who finished 4th at Tokyo in Women's Team Archery is now representing

It is nice that you are so proud, but you should remember that compound isn't an olympic discipline.

We topped the medal tally in WORLD ARCHERY CHAMPIONSHIP. As simple as it gets.  

All the bad teams have been knocked out. Only the best teams remain. 

Swimming and Rugby streams are better. Beach volleyball with no live scoreboard is an off. 

 Fail to top the World Archery Championship medal tally for the first time since 1995.

 Having never won a gold at world archery championship before, top the medal tally for the first time ever with 3golds! 

What a day of archery amazing! 

Was hoping for all Koreans to lose and a Valencia v Horackova final which I got. In Men's I wanted Pangestu v Marcus final but even Gazoz was fine he's been in fine form in last 2 years.

Ojas into the finals!! 

Ojas into semis!  Also have a semi finalist.

 Vs  for the 4th
