OQP Final v.

Some para surfing news, Victoria Feige wins her 5th World Championships title in the women’s kneel category! Bodes well for our chances should it one day get added to the Paralympics.

Sophiane Methot secures a quota for Canada in women’s trampoline gymnastics through the Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships!

Anraku*

@Roamingrover86 is Bommadevara not competing here, or was he ousted in the earlier rounds?

Might be on brand for us but there’s no way we lose to Hungary

Zhang Yuetong grabs the women’s boulder & lead quota!

qualify for the OQT through the Pan American POQT! will play next February with three Olympic quotas up for grabs, while will play where two Olympic quotas will be awarded.

Oh almost forgot about the Sitting Volleyball World Cup, which will be one of the higher priority events on my schedule this week.

Obviously won’t be able to watch everything, but here’s what’s I’m thinking for this week Women’s CEV Champions League Volleyball (Fenerbahçe/Turk Hava Yollari/Eczacıbaşı Dynavit), Para Surfing Worlds (probably only the medal heats though), Asian Archery Continental Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Fencing World Cups, club season volleyball (Vero Volley Monza, Sesc RJ Flamengo and ZASKA), NFL (bills mainly), NBA (gsw mainly), NHL (canucks mainly), Sport Climbing Boulder & Lead Asian Olympic Qualifier, Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships, Billie Jean King Cup Finals, Speed Skating World Cup Obihiro, Alpine Skiing World Cups Zermatt/Cervinia and Levi, Nitto ATP Finals, Beach Volleyball -21 World Championships My bank account is going broke with all the streaming subscriptions I currently have, so won’t be able to watch the GSOC National unfortunately

Women’s Team Quota: (unsurprisingly)

Penny Oleksiak will be racing at the US Open, according to her Instagram stories!

Sarasota Sharks should be sending a team to the US Open (Nov 29- Dec 2), and this event could be our next indication of where she (Summer) is at. If she does choose to compete, I’d say she could have some pretty significant time drops in her, she looks taller than she did a couple of months ago.

Or Kharun

Disappointed that Oleksiak won’t be competing. Hopefully she’ll compete at some other meets before Paris so that she can get some racing in. Great to see Pickrem, Ruck, and Smith named to the team though.

@Sindo Mexico’s quota got reallocated to Canada, as the athlete who won a quota failed a whereabouts test.

12 days until the Para Pan Am Games begin (also it’ll be my birthday)
