I don’t think it was a jinxing thing, just a mistake. Plus he doesn’t seem like the type of person to be doing that. 

I know that I was just kidding but it may worked as a jinx against Spain

Just now, Josh said:

Not over yet. 

You have to patent your jinxing ability. Everyone is copying it freely

Helps a bit to qualify team via rankings 

It does but slightly. China and Taiwan may skip the qualifiers totally if they see they can qualify mathematically just like TT. It's not their fault who keeps qualifiers less than 25 days away from Olympics

Dark horse  defeats Hungary in the semis. Spain will be tough, but they are at least in a good position to qualify tomorrow

should win it easily having seen them play in earlier matches

Getting a little bit ahead of yourself there, there’s still a 4th set and potentially a shoot-off to go. 

I'm trying to see if I too have the @Josh jinx or predicting superpower so that I apply it during our matches lol

gets the quota in women's team recurve 

So it's Canada v Colombia final

I hope you are rigth, it is useful that result for us.

Colombia reached finals with 6-2 win. Mexico could meet them

It's a pity that all tables are not shown live. But all SF will be shown.

So if there are 3 athletes qualified in each gender and also for relays do we get additional quotas? Like 4 each

 this guy knows magic or maybe something better

 

he weighted 101.7 kg during the Asian Champ in his home country when he secured his quota. but how is the even possible ? he was never anywhere near that weight. but all of a sudden he dropped 7kg and made a good total and then gained that 7kg back ?  if that's not magic, then what it is ?

Comparing what Ghana hosted at the African Games and what was on the program at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, we are missing cycling (mountain and track), diving, gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), lawn bowls, netball, powerlifting and squash.

 

We may be able to fit gymnastics, netball, powerlifting and squash in venues which had events not part of the Commonwealth Games. 

 

It looks like Ghana has a pre-existing mountain bike course and possibly a place to host lawn bowls. I'm unable to tell if the swimming venue also has diving boards so that and track cycling may have to dropped from the program or given to a different host.

With nations not requiring to have these sports I'm not sure Netball, Gymnastics , diving will be considered. Lawn Bowls isn't expensive. Swimming venue was very poor

Athletics, Rugby, Tennis, Badminton, TT, Wrestling, Boxing, Taekwondo(expecting a debut or Judo), Road Cycling, Field Hockey , 3*3, Weightlifting , Triathlon, Beach Volleyball should be there.

What do you think, if R country will refuse all their quotas (or won't be approved)

Then all wrestlers from R country representing P country, A country, F country, S country, H country, B country etc should also decline to participate and then hardly 10-12 wrestlers from Europe will be in Olympics at least in men's event

We know she is injured before the match but not sure how serious is. Now it seems she could hardly recover in 3 months. Tough choice for the team now.

Provided Li wins tomorrow, who would be your team? Would the records be considered as 49 is the only weight where North Korean is the number 1, rest all have Chinese number 1 in the world.

Is Liang Xiaomei not going to Olympics for sure? Is it a very serious injury?
