It was a historical moment for India at the Opening ceremony, as the Dutee Chand became the first ever flagbearer who was  openly belonging to LGBT.  This has never happened in any major multi sport event for India. 

The worst results page I've ever seen on universiade. Nothing works.

I mean there’s video evidence of it. It get what you guys are all saying don’t get me wrong. Am I happy that Skateboarding is in the Olympics? No. Did I want Skateboarding Olympics? Not right now. Was Skateboarding going to be an Olympic sport one day? Yes. Is Skateboarding a sport? Yes. (And it least it involves physical activity, way more than e-sports or shooting). I pride myself on progressive views. There is absolutely no reason to not look forward. Skateboarding is something that the younger generations are passionate about, along with all the traditional sports. I think it is perfectly ok for Skateboarding to feature in the Olympics (though I think it’s inclusion was a little premature. There were a few issues that needed to be figured out that the IOC dismissed, and now we have a bit of a mess).

I can only imagine the turkish pitcher...  

Yes she is qualified for the Olympics.

Tatsiana Khaladovich 64.37 in javelin throw at European games. It counts, doesn't it? 

The irony of someone from Italy writing something like that ...

Unbelievable

Boxing

Karolina Kołeczek - 100 m hurdles - 12,75 in Chorzów

I'd say it was a pole vault, unless this 5,81 was measured in cm and it was a real "lisek" (for those not speaking Polish - "little fox").

Men's discus throw

Boxing is in, qualies next year, but organised by IOC's special comission with FIS's Morinari Watanabe as a head of project. AIBA is suspended. And this is the best decision they could make I think. Dumping boxing one year before OG would not be fair for athletes, but neither letting AIBA organise it.

I doubt Burkina Faso will defeat the Netherlands or Italy, even defeating South Africa would be a huge victory for them.

wow! I didn't know that BF have a professional player (even if "professional" is quite a word for an obscure independent league in Japan)...
 
however, if only they wanted, African teams could start shopping in the US, because there they could easily find some good players with some African heritage...
 
not that there are many stars with those origins, but for sure in the hidden world of the minor leagues there are a lot of reasonably good players...

Every nation should play every nation. It's complete BS that we have so many match-ups that don't happen, because of political reasons. Just don't have away fans in the matches and be done with it. If a team doesn't want to play in said country, 0:3 and be done with it..

I'd be very, very surprised if the African team qualifying to the Euro-African Olympic Qualification Tournament aren't the South Africans...

I think they will say the final words about that at the IAAF general meet just before the World Champs in Doha, but no official announcement has been done even about when the final decision will be taken...

I don't think you should worry about him. Maybe tired, maybe just not motivated any more this season, and just waiting to end. Done everything this season anyway.
 
Hope he doesn't retire, awesome to watch.
