Time for some post-Olympic Diamond League action In Lausanne, we’ll be seeing Marco Arop in the men’s 800m, and Sarah Mitton in women’s shot put.

A thread to discuss all things related to the upcoming winter Olympics We’re less than two years out, and while Canada has already qualified their first athletes in ice hockey, the qualification period is really starting to ramp up up.

So none at all?

Indian women have been great this year too!

How often do you watch table tennis outside of the Olympics?

Paralympic team has been announced 126 athletes in 18 sports, slightly down on our Tokyo total. https://paralympic.ca/news/team-of-126-canadian-athletes-set-to-compete-at-paris-2024-paralympic-games/

Can’t be a fluke if it happens every single Olympics.

Well as for diving, Rousseau, the World Champion last year, he’s from Australia. Not to mention that this is the first time in Olympic HISTORY that China has swept the golds.

2 weeks to go!!!

Jordan Larson and Micha Hancock were injured in a car accident on their way home from the Olympics, as their UBER collided with a utility pole

Where will the European Championships be streamed? Does anyone know? Edit: PPV on EuroVolleyTV… yeah that’s not going to work

Some of these changes you guys would make to the Olympic program are making me glad that none of you are IOC members (on the other hand though, I do agree with some of them…) I’ll share my thoughts later.

I’m not European, but from at least from my perspective my complaints come from the lack of internal competitiveness. Africa has many countries capable of challenging in most sports, while for Oceania it’s just Australia and sometimes New Zealand winning quotas, and rarely anyone else

Hope not

Wouldn’t say quit is the right word. He’s 32, and a couple of months ago his first child was born. Don’t know the exact reason why, but he probably decided to retire to focus on his family.

There goes Michael Andrew’s hopes

D’Artois was 4th at Worlds last year, what are you on about

On to something a bit more… positive I’m be rooting for Rehm, Garcia Falagan (so many major championships 4th’s), Bertrand, Woodhall, Guity, Impellizzari, Alphonse, women’s sitting volleyball team (when not against Canada at least), Barlaam, and Masters Probably missing a couple. Edit: Oh, now also Ishitile

Not very many para-athletes that I’ll be actively cheering against, but well there’s one Petrillo, well is a very controversial figure to say the least. Born a male, will compete in female events at the Paralympics, and well I don’t exactly think it’s fair. Feel bad for all of the actual women that are in the same events, wonder what they would have to say about this?

I’m kind of bored, so over the next few days I’ll be sharing some statistics for most posts by a user in all the various sports threads Edit: Deleted the second one, it’s not going to work for me.

Probably beach volleyball too

As always, after the Olympics there’s a whole batch of retirements. Mijain Lopez (wrestling) Maggie MacNeil (swimming) Natalie Achonwa (basketball) Vinesh Phogat (wrestling) Nino Salukvadze (shooting) Andy Murray (tennis) Portia Woodman-Wickliffe (rugby sevens) Tatjana Smith (swimming) Carissa Moore (surfing) Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (athletics) Ma Long (table tennis) Vivian Kong (fencing) Emma McKeon (swimming) Angelique Kerber (tennis) Perry Baker (rugby sevens) Timo Boll (table tennis) Kellie Harrington (boxing) Mikkel Hansen (handball)

Etta Love is another one in weightlifting. I’ll also add Dylan Bibic.

Anyone?
