Dendy’s bucket hat is back!

2:02.80 for Aurora Rynda in the women’s 800m. Not bad, probably will improve her position on the Road to Paris, but not enough to make much of a difference.

20.15m for Sarah Mitton in the 2nd round of women’s shot put at the New York Grand Prix!

Ostrava Elite16 | Ostrava, Czech Republic Women’s Tournament Gold- Kelly Cheng/Sara Hughes Silver- Melissa Humana-Parades/Brandie Wilkerson Bronze- Anastasija Samoilova/Tina Graudina Duda/AP struggled a lot during this tournament, but yet still somehow managed to record a 4th place finish. Men’s Tournament Gold- David Åhman/Jonatan Hellvig Silver- Stefan Boermans/Yorrick de Groot Bronze- Miles Partain/Andy Benesh Mol/Sørum finish 4th in their return to competition. Full Results Up next, Continental Olympic Qualifying Tournaments, then the Gstaad Elite16 from July 3-7!

They really should think of a better way to record marks in field events… (besides pole vault and high jump of course)

FIH Nations League was on the last week. Canada men started off with a 4-0 loss to France (bad result), then lost 8-1 to Pakistan (they were 1-0 up), then lost 4-2 to Malaysia. Followed that up with two consecutive wins though, 2-1 over Austria, and 2-1 over South Korea. Canada women started off with a 3-0 loss to Japan, then a 3-0 loss to Chile, then a 2-0 loss to New Zealand. Finally got a win, as they defeated South Korea 3-2. Then a narrow 1-0 loss to Japan.

“ couple Partain/Benesh” Do the commentators know something we don’t?

Silver for Melissa Humana-Parades/Brandie Wilkerson at the Ostrava Elite16, losing to Cheng/Hughes in 3. Humana-Parades was horrible offensively, she couldn’t make a kill for the majority of the match, and Cheng/Hughes serving Wilkerson for part of it (no reason whatsoever) was pretty much what kept them in it.

I can’t see him not playing given the stakes (even if he plays a game 7 in the NBA Finals), and how much he likes to play for his country in international competition, but you’re right. BTW in no way am I saying that Greece has no chance or anything like that (of course they could win the quota), Ben’s reply was taking about the favourites in each of the tournaments.

Welp…. Silver it is for Offensively, Humana-Parades was meh. Couldn’t buy a kill for the majority of the match.

A Slovenia with Doncic is better than a Greece with Antetokounpo.

is probably favourite over but otherwise I agree

But according to Wikipedia (not always accurate of course) and the French federation, Camille Prigent has qualified already.

@hckošice are you sure about that? Prigent has already qualified, and I’m sure there’s other names too.

What is going on with Duda So many uncharacteristic errors for her in Ostrava so far, first in the quarterfinals, and now in the semifinals.

Well even though we probably have about a 0% chance of winning a quota, maybe a whole bunch of the favourites will miss the gates or get 15 time penalties

Ok so no chance for

Who’s eligible for the quotas?

Looks like Ivan Zaytsev is switching from beach to indoor for the LA 2028 Olympic cycle, partnering with Daniele Lupo. https://www.instagram.com/p/C734g-OI8zU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

44-42 2nd set in v. @rybak @Laraja

Nothing has been going right for my family lately. Absolutely nothing. As some of you might know, my mom either stays at the hospital overnight to take care of my dad, or she goes back home and comes back early morning (what she’s doing at the moment). A couple of hours ago (this was when she was at the hospital), she went out to go grab some food, and when she did, she fell down the stairs and fractured her foot I also cut my hand (there was a decent amount of blood) while slicing an onion, but to be honest it was kind of my fault as I thought I could do it without paying attention.

Humana-Parades/Wilkerson through to the gold medal match at the Ostrava Elite16, defeating Samoilova/Graudina 2-0! Yet to drop a set in 5 matches played so far. I love Ostrava. Second consecutive podium for them here, after bronze in 2023. Probably my biggest medal wishes for Canada at the Olympics this year, along with Kharun in men’s 200m butterfly and our women’s 3x3 basketball team.

Florida Panthers defeat the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. 33-18 on shots in favour of the Oilers. What a performance by Bobrovsky

Felix Dolci and Rene Cournoyer secure their spots on the Canadian Olympic squad for men’s artistic gymnastics through the Canadian Championships, as the top two all-around finishers.
