  1. Six Polish swimmers who are in Tokyo already have to go home since our federation cocked up the entry criteria and send them based on B standard which actually requires a special invitation from FINA to be eligible. The invitation never happened (duh). The biggest affected name is Alicja Tchorz.

     

    Our federation made a similar error in Rio but it only affected one swimmer back then.

    Kostyuk is out ??? (shoulder injury)

     

    She is working out since 8 am looking at her IG so I suppose she's not exactly injured (no straps on her shoulder or anything). I guess she needs a break to make a solid run during the USO Series as she's one of those who don't profit from the frozen rankings (as the 2019 Wuhan/Beijing & YEC points are set to stay until the end of the season).

    It will definitely be interesting in Paris since we wont have Simone, but every year they can find someone new and still field a team to win the gold, Patterson->Liukin/Johnson->Weber/Douglas/Raisman->Biles

    Yes, but the current team is more reliant on the leader than any of the ones you mentioned. So USA might still get a nasty shock if the don't come up with a proper new leader once Biles is gone. The depth seems a little suspect already with Skinner on the team at age 24 which is ancient by gymnastics powerhouse standards.

    So, she didn't compete since 2016 and actually filed a petition to be on the Olympics team? No wonder she's not there. USA doesn't need to use a grandfather clause in a sport they can field a ton of new girls each year. Of course it's all to be tested when Simone Biles retires because she's kinda soaking up all the spotlight all the time.

  5. I see you totally removed endurance aspect from cycling? Max. 90 kms for three heats is a joke for modern cycling :p  It would be laughable if a domestique won the climb & sprint and his team would get 0 points for it and maybe didn't even get a medal because of it. It's as useless as field events in Diamond League when you can beat a World Record and still finish 4th in the event :lol:
