Oliver Lines beats Dominic Dale with three seconds left

A complete bunch of morons. If I were him, I'd ditch that New Zealand passport ASAP.

That should do it. Babikov wins ahead of T. Boe and Khalili. Personal best results for Schommer (9th) and Wright (15th). I wonder if New Zealand sends Wright to Beijing now?

Last year's winner Ryan Day is out in R1 already

Anton Babikov 20/20. Paul Schommer 18/20 also looking for a PB result @RobtheAggie

Campbell Wright 18/20 and could be a PB result here.

Guzik with four misses on the first shoot Might as well pack your bags for Beijing!

Fans booing Medveded and he asks for respect to Jim Courier who does the interview

First GS R3 for Kovinic

Garbine Muguruza, Anett Kontaveit & Elena Rybakina (retired with injury) all went out during the night. The big upsets are finally happening! With Muguruza's loss, Paula Badosa will be the new Spanish #1 in the next rankings

Word is out 16-year old Hanna Zieba will get the extra quota in Giant Slalom I believe she finished 28th in Pozza di Fassa FIS Cup GS earlier today

Sania Mirza (tennis) will retire after 2022 season.

We have strategically announced three reserves even before this quota became available Guess we'll find out soon who the lucky winner is

& have accepted the quota so both have 3 athletes in.

After accepted the two quotas there are still two places to be accepted. & are the first in line (both would have three athletes each if they do).

Paula Badosa & Camila Giorgi both through to R3

Ghana lost to Comoros and are out. That must be a new low?

Hell yes, we are accepting! The male lucky choice will be Mateusz Haratyk - World Cup PB of 56th place! https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=CC&seasoncode=&competitorid=197914&type=result&categorycode=WC&sort=&place=&disciplinecode=&position=&limit=100

I told ya, Poland will accept anything, anywhere, anyhoo... no matter if this brings 57th place with 6 minutes gap to the winner. We will take it

We do it because government funding is reliant on having any presence in these events. To get individual scholarship an athlete has to finish Top 8 in continental champs but it's all about money for the federations so these. Hence we send as many athletes as possible - sometimes even when they don't qualify on merit as evident by the swimming fiasco in Tokyo when five athletes only found out in Japan they can't start. We'll explore every loophole for a wild card entry if possible too

Everyone whose federation declines a quota should think about getting citizenship. We always send anyone who qualifies

Raducanu has Kovinic in R2 so that should be a win but then finally the real derby vs Halep in R3 looming

Hmm... maybe they shut that door down then after introducing mixed event?

and have declined a quota so another + get a spot. This means could potentially field a team instead of but they would have to draft someone from nordic combined.
