eliminated by  in group stage again wow...
 
First the men in 2018, now the women!

And that's it, Germany is out as well. What a performance by Morocco to put themselves in this position, but they can thank Colombia and Korea as well for keeping Germany to a grand total of 1 point in those two matches  

Right now Morocco and Colombia.

South Korea goes 1-0 up against Germany, which was then (virtually speaking) out of the tournament, but has now equalized after Popp was being defended rather....unfortunate by the Korean defenders.

With the group stage over here's how each continent performed.
 
Federation Win Draw Loss Points Percent AFC 7 1 10 22 40.74% CAF 5 3 4 18 50.00% CONCACAF 3 5 10 14 25.93% CONMEBOL 3 2 4 11 40.74% OFC 1 1 1 4 44.44% UEFA 19 8 9 65 60.19%  
Unsurprisingly, Europe is the best performing continent with 8/12 nations advancing to the round of 16. More surprising is Africa being the second best continent where the teams obtained 50% of the total possible points and 3/4 nations advance to the round of 16. CONCACAF was the worst performing continent by quite a bit though in their defense, they did qualify two extra teams via the play-offs. However, even removing Haiti and Panama they would still finish last, but with a more comparable 38.89%

@MHSN Iran is meaning business in Handball YWCH taking place in Croatia , defeating Faroe Islands and tying with Sweden 

they tied with Georgia few days ago in a friendly match therefore I was expecting some heavy defeats here. apparently I was wrong  eliminating an European team is a big deal for Asian teams. in both matches they were down by 5-7 goals in middle of the 2nd half but had a couple of comebacks. 
 
and looks like these kids love drama, you should watch the last minute of their matches vs Bahrain at the Asian Champs, that was insane  

Kotryna Teterevkova qualified for Paris after winning gold in Summer Universiade!

Discovery Plus has it all, this time (morning sessions included) 

Oh wow, massive crash for the third Brit coming out of the last corner (seems to have been Tanfield), who is not looking good...

Right, here we go with the 90% gold medals  

Shockingly bad ride by the Italian top team.

I agree. Silly rule.

Right, Tanfield is up on his feet. That was scary for a bit there.

Good start for the Dutch men's teamsprint. But Australia has not used their best sprinter (Matthew Richardson) in the qualies. So I predict it will be close. And maybe the British men with their new bikes also play a significant role tomorrow. 
 
Another special result: Chloe Dygert is back on top in the women's individual pursuit. Curious about what she can do in the road race and especially in the time trial (she is the favorite for me). 

All you have to do is go the shop and buy the same equipment.  Well, first you have to find that shop, of course.   There can’t be more than 150,000 to choose from.

Guess you’re a big speedway fan, then?

I am a big fan of integrity event  😉  for me it's  a good idea

Para-athletes are elite athletes. 

Vogel melts like a Toblerone in a volcano,  

Great team sprint final! The final British rider got really close in the end.
 
And a fourth place for the Dutch again. I don't see us beating any of the top 3 within a year, but hopefully Braspenninx and Van der Wouw can surprise in the individual sprint and keirin.
