After two great wins against Mongolia (21-9), and Hungary (21-11), and a 21-8 United States victory over Czech Republic (Who looked like they were going to cruise to the QFs after starting 3-0) made three teams (United States, Canada, and Czech Republic) go into a three-way tie at 3-1, with Canada advancing to the quarterfinals through total points scored.

Penny Oleksiak pulls out from the 2023 World Championships team. Looks like we won't be qualifying any relays until Doha.

Canada have secured two new quotas in men's decathlon, one new quota in men's marathon, one new quota in men's road cycling, and one new quota in women's road cycling

Extremely bored so I'm gonna try to predict who will win the quotas, I'd say Fierro Huscenot Hareb Stairmand Tsuzuki Waida Baum Boukhiam Let's see how off my predictions are in a week

I don't watch surfing as frequently as some of you, but I catch some action from time to time. Here's what I think. Europe (Women)- Noa Leilor Vahine Fierro Pauline Ado Noah Klapp Rachel Presti Francesca Veselko Yolanda Sequiera Europe (Men)- Maxime Huscenot Joan Duru Kauli Vaast Leonardo Fioravanti Frederico Morais Aritz Aranburu Oceania (Women) - Paige Hareb Oceania (Men) - Billy Stairmand Asia (Women) - Amuro Tsuzuki Mahina Maeda Asia (Men) - Rio Waida Kanoa Igarashi Africa (Women) - Sarah Baum Africa (Men) - Ramzi Boukhiam Jordy Smith Matthew McGillivray This is taking into account that Australia qualifies two athletes (per gender) for the 2024 Olympics through WSL. Women are guaranteed, while men are highly likely.

Canada respond from their shock defeat to Czech Republic earlier today, defeating United States 16-13. By the way, United States was up 7-1 early in that match, but after that, it all went downhill for them. Overall though a pretty ugly effort by both teams IMO. M. Plouffe led all scorers with 8 points.

Czech Republic defeats Canada 20-18 in OT, for the first match of the World Cup. Galíčková, lead all scorers with 9pts and made the game-winning shot. A terrible performance for Canada, with uncharacteristic missed layups by all four of them (Crozon, Bosch, Plouffe, Plouffe).

Forgot to mention, silver medalists B-Girl Sunny and B-Boy Jeffro have also qualified for the 2024 Olympic Qualifier Series.

Despite Fernandez's terrible start to the clay court season (And season overall) Fernandez has shown she can contend for titles on this surface, going far at Roland Garros in 2022 beating the likes of Anisimova, Bencic, Siniakova. She lost in the quarterfinals to Trevisan in 3, but she got injured part way throughout the second set, Fernandez obviously deciding to keep playing, being the fighter that she is, so the fact that the she managed to win the second set is mind blowing. (By the way, if you're curious the scoreline was 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-3. My point is, Linette was the favourite, but you would be pretty stupid to count out Fernandez.

FAA ended up losing 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 to Fognini Yet again, another early exit for him. To be fair though, he's still recovering from his recent Lyon Open shoulder injury, and frankly wasn't expecting him to be competing so soon. Then again though, FAA has had a terrible start to the clay court season (R64 Madrid Open, R64 Italian Open, QF Lyon Open, R128 Roland Garros), only managing to win a single match against a player ranked outside the top 200, and clay historically has been his least favorite surface (At least in terms of results, maybe with 2022 as an exception), so I'm unsure as to whether he'd be doing damage fully healthy. He has the talent to contend with the best, he just can't seem to find consistency. I mean, this same FAA took Rafa to five sets at RG last year (R16). IMO Fontang needs to go

Team Canada Women's 3x3 Team Paige Crozon Kacie Bosch Michelle Plouffe Katherine Plouffe They're back After a dominant 2022 season for this team (With their only real "blip" if you can even call it that, being silver at the 3X3 World Cup) I'm really hoping we can win gold this time around But it certainly won't come easy, as you'll most likely have to defeat reigning World Cup champions France, and of course you also have the likes of Australia, Germany, China, Spain, United States, etc. who could also challenge for the podium.
