That's a nice initiative. Maybe we can have a group discussion also of 4-5 people every alternate Sunday or so covering core sports, one on rest of the sports.

What do you have to say about today's results? Will there be any other trials or Rizki deemed injured or anything?

Yes

Yes 3 spots by normal qualifying. If 2 spots qualified by OQR, 1 host quotas can be used and vice versa. If none by OQR then only 2 host quotas. However participation in minimum events specified is essential. Host Quotas is only 2 per gender and not 3.

Host quotas are 2 each per gender not 3. France can get 2 quotas additionally categories as host. But there are just 4 French lifters eligible 2 each in gender unless I missed a lifter or two as they didn't participate in enough compulsory events.

I think that is a good decision. In case Sadulaev proved ineligible later Russia will not lose a quota in what is already a very small squad for games.

As @Josh said it's not in order which is fine just to give us idea of top wrestler. Even if he put her at the end in order he would be right. Andreaa Ana is a 3 time European Champion in 55kg, not 53kg. Can't see her qualifying for the games though.

How serious was that injury? I think if it's not serious Luo goes to Olympics almost certainly due to healthy gap between 1 and 2 as well as finishing ahead of North Korea in her weight while also breaking WR.

There could be changes in top 10 still but continental quota safe as Nigerian might not go out of top 10.

Mathlyn Sasser Langtor gets continental quota in women's 59kg as achieves a PB of 227kg to be ranked 6th as of now. No other African or Oceania athlete left and all other continents represented.

not participating in Mixed Doubles Olympic Qualifier. These 3 get ranking quota. may follow soon as they are yet to confirm their place. These 4 teams will get ranking quota.

Teenager Hampton Morris smashes senior C&J WR, still finishes 9kg on total behind Li Fabin as Chin Lijun bombs out

Yes Australia.

Record 39 athletes have registered, this is more than twice the number as compared to 2020

Pita is back at +80 but may not be the favourite though

Men's 58 67 80 +80

Comparatively less cluttered week 3×3 Asia Cup is the one and only event to watch. It's been really fun watching some exciting buzzer beaters and OT matches. Sri Lankan men were fantastic with their upset over . Also men's match, women's match, , , , men's matches were some of the matches I enjoyed the most. Hoping for Indian women to claim an upset win and reach QF tomorrow. This being the only event should be able to watch most of the matches. On Sunday though for a short time would watch Dika Toua the first female weightlifter at Olympics to have lifted weight secure ticket to her 6th Olympic games. Monday onwards it's the IWF WC where I'd try to watch A groups of Olympic Medal Classes. On Saturday it's the Oceania Taekwondo Qualifier which is set for record participation from athletes and nations in the continent. 45 have registered as per the WT page including coaches and support staff. But usually 70% of the registered in event are players so at least hoping 30+ will be in action. That should be a cracker.

With the quota today Samoa will have a squad of over 20 for the first time. 16 already qualified+ 2 swimming+ 1 athletics + 2 weightlifting. Could be a few more

Lol I saw the results where it was VFO I read as VFA

Actually I did expect the Samoan to win the quota. It's Gaku Akazawa and I was surprised when he lost in GR the other day to Australian, so I had asked as the Samoan is the Oceania champion in the weights in both GR and FS(had read a article like that about him). But @thepharoah what's with Egypt Wrestling I'm sure I haven't seen them so low at Qualifiers losing so many with big margins. Also wrestlers beat by fall very easily, not common in men's wrestling I believe.

One has to be in Top 16 in the world to accept the quota. Ford isn't but there are 16 wrestlers only in category.

Rckaela does it 2/2 for her second consecutive Olympics.
