The Northern Irish and Irish teams wanted Switzerland or Denmark, so they’ll both be happy!!

Yep, that's correct. There's been European Youth Championships on as well but not in the combined event, there will be a special combined championships in November.

It will most likely be the 2018 African Youth Games in Algiers in July 2018

Asian Youth Olympics Rowing Qualification Regatta, Singapore (11-14 October): Men's Single Scull: Men's Pair: Women's Single Scull: Women's Pair:

Wow, the city of Innsbruck itself really didn’t want the games: Yes - 14800 (33%) No - 30700 (67%)

That’s Ecuador on the plane to Korea!! And extra good news for Bruna, maintaining her 100% Brazilian record and with a time that would beat lots of the Brazilian men!

African Sitting Volleyball Championships 2017 have concluded in Kigali, Rwanda. The Men's Tournament saw Egypt beat Rwanda in the final to take gold and Morocco beat Algeria to win bronze. This means that the following nations have qualified for the 2018 Sitting Volleyball Championships, the first stage of Paralympic Qualification: On the Women's side the gold medal match saw a reversal of fortunes, with Rwanda beating Egypt to claim gold. Kenya beat Congo DR to claim the bronze. Again it is the qualifiers for the World Championships 2018 are : Full results available here: Men Women This means the teams currently qualified for the 2018 World Championships are: Men - Women -

Hopefully, but he scored 487 points today!! He needs to improve his 5th score, currently 375, so something around 330 points should be enough to send him to PyeongChang!

Looks like it was! You can see it on the YouTube playlist here: (Song 32)

Awful decision by European Weightlifting to move the European Weightlifting Chanpionships to late 2018 so that banned countries can take part! Makes a mockery of the ban, hope the IWF steps in and bans them from the 2018 European Championships whenever it is held in the year.

2nd one working here!

Same for me!

Looks good but you have Kazakhstan down twice for men!

The following countries have all been given one year bans for repeated doping in Weightlifting. The ban will include this years world championships, next years Youth Olympics, Asian Games, Junior World Championships and continental championships. The list is: Russia Kazakhstan Belarus Azerbaijan Armenia Turkey Ukraine China Moldova

Singapore could be just 0.07 points off an Olympic quota, how painful!!

Don’t know if we’ve nudged @Jur yet but I think I’ve seen him around and Spain is always an exciting addition to the contest!

Pairs competition finished and the qualifiers are: Australia Austria North Korea Israel Czech Republic

Wow the Israeli pair have set a huge new pb of 115.7 up from 107.4. This piles the pressure onto North Korea and Czech Republic.

In the women’s singles currently a little way clear of who are chasing behind. @dcro do you know if the tough Swedish entry standards apply to their women’s single, because that would open a space for one of the chase group to qualify?

Bit below par for North Korea, 4 points down on last years World Championships. Might be tough for them to finish in top 4 here if Israel and the Czech Republic are at their best in the free skate. They may well need to rely on a reallocated French quota unless they produce near their best in the free.

Slightly different but Para bobsleigh will be added to the Beijing 2022 Paralympic programme. So maybe they will also try and add a new Olympic sport as well?

Everyone seems to be having the idea of picking something a bit different this year! Will make for a very interesting selection of songs in the end and potentially some very diverse voting as many different styles will appeal to different users.
