everything else is set in stone

it should be 3 more events in each weapon, but FIE's calendar right now has 4 events in women's Team Foil and only 2 in men's Team Sabre left 
 
so, I guess there's a mistake in their list and we actually have 3 events left in all the weapons...I hope they fix that soon (but with FIE never be too optimist, it might take 6 months to understand what they're doing )

rumors/reports say that Alexander Komarov (World U23 Champion 2021) will wrestle for Serbia from 2024.
 
it didn't take long for Serbia to buy a "replacement" for Zurabi Datunashvili.  apparently he is married to a Serbian girl so this one makes sense. I mean comparing to Arsalan, Datunashvili, Kajaia, Tibilov and Tsabolov , but who cares, he is good and will one of the contenders for the quota.

have qualified their first athletes in rugby sevens (men’s tournament) at the Rugby Sevens Oceanian Championships!

I'm primarily Irish. She's lucky she's not Ainé  O'Kane.

Miracles don't happen twice, I wasn't expecting Alipour to win the gold/quota here, he had his run in Hangzhou instead a month ago.
 
but he looked a bit out of shape here. he didn't slip in KO rounds but never got close to his AG records. if he wants to qualify next year he has to be faster than this. most of his opponents are from Asia though.
 
He won everything possible in this sport, World title, World Games title, Asian title, Asian Games title (twice). I know he can't win the Olympics but I hope at least he qualifies. he deserves that for all of his hard work which he did mostly alone without a coach , etc.

qualify for Paris after defeating  54-0 in the Olympic Final!

4 matches  vs   in a single day?
And the score is level - 2:2.
 
The tie will be decided in football ))

Canada wins!!

Stakusic beats Trevisan to give Canada a 1-0 lead over Italy in the Billie Jean cup final! Trevisan had been undefeated in the tournament  thus far.

Patrícia Tománková extended her winning streak to 27 consecutive matches by Ippon this year. Winning yesterday another EC Cadet tournament, this time in Gyor
This girl is really a slowly growing well hided gem of our sport. Silently waiting for her turn in a couple of years.
 

 
and a small mention about Márius Fízeľ battle for the Slovak Olympic Judo return. Added yesterday another very valuable points by winning the Australian GP in Perth, The level of competition was obviously very mediocre, but who care ? The most important are the points for the Olympics ranking, and our judokas missed the Five Rings Tatamis since London 2012 ffs !
 

qualify for Paris after defeating  54-0 in the Olympic Final!

The  government says YES to WOG 2030 in Sweden. 

Chad did it!
 
Very impressive given they were only the 6th seeds and played most of the matches as underdogs.

Fantastic performance from Peťa yesterday!!! Let's hope that continues through the rest of the season. Also nice to see the  team getting competitive again, congrats to Liensberger!
 
Let's hope that at least the women's downhills in Zermatt will go as scheduled... Otherwise FIS might abandon this idea for next season.

Well, whoopsie for Vlhova  
 
Nice podium for Popovic  

Stage 2 in Levi (FIN)
 
Women´s Slalom:
 
1. Mikaela Shiffrin    1:51.68
2. Leona Popovic    1:51.86
3. Lena Duerr    1:51.98
 
Full Final Results HERE

Vlhova won't start any of the speed races this year, so I guess the Overall World Cup is not a question for her
 
still, it's a bad result towards the Slalom WC Ranking
