WA can't make up rules based on how they wake up in the morning. I hope there is an appeal from some federation, it's disgusting

qualified in women's team.  A bit suprising since qualification document told other way round. But world archery has confirmed this.

People messaging me saying "look at what happened", and I replied "What? we were beaten by "
 
Took me quite a while the women's team beat in the process of reaching top 8

Team Mixed Semifinals 
vs
 vs 
 
 
In other news, Luxembourg is in compound semifinals
 

Honestly, I don't care a fuck about what they say. It's on the pdf, and they should apply it. I hope that someone will go to the CAS
 
 

actually, in the iofficial qualification document there's no reference at all to the chance that  would eventually be in the top 3
 
so, I guess there's room for interpretation and WA just were satisfied with those 3 teams taking the quota places
 
it's a shame that not all the options are taken into consideration in such important occasion  

Speaking about real sports and not about papers, here the mixed team finals:
 
Gold MM:  -
Bronze MM: -
 

Rules are rules. You could argue that France eliminated a nation which could have gotten the Olympic quota.
 
Of course France could still finish 4th and render the whole thing moot.

1977 (in  Canberra) when the medals went respectively to  
 
fun fact, the first Asian team to win a medal in the women's team event was  (silver in 1975), meanwhile from 1933 (1st edition) to 1973 they never won a single medal
 
then, from 1979 on, there's always been at least an Asian team on the podium

We’ve actually yet to have a multi-sport games this cycle where that’s been the case. European Games streamed some, but not all, preliminary matches.

men lost to  in the round of 16
 
the score was 3-5 in terms of sets (53-53, 54-52, 54-56, 51-52 the single sets)
 
1) only for the semi/finals sessions on Friday and Sunday (it should be on both the Olympic Channel and the Youtube Page of World Archery, depending on the location)
 
2) no, it will take place on Friday (Bronze Medal match @ 6.04 p.m. CET; Gold Medal match @ 6.23 p.m. CET)

So even now, World Archery aren't in a position to confirm which teams will qualify for Paris - maybe nobody could find the wi-fi code so that they could check the qualification document online. 
 

I wouldn't call Spain a free path at all, Spain - Netherlands is a similar level quarterfinal to Norway - Sweden in my opinion.

@vinipereiraWell, Spain would still be favored to beat Switzerland in R16 and I'm unsure if Netherlands can repeat what Japan did to Spain
 

Lauren James , younger sister of Reece James came up with a historic performance with 2 goals and 3 assists in England victory over China 6-1 

Portugal has a bright future in women's football and they are still on the rise. USA barely scraped through but it's not that surprising, this is an old team that relies on reputation more than anything. Even Alex Morgan is 34 years old already. They ain't fooling Father Time and the rest of the world has closed the gap now that there is more money in women's game. Sweden in R16 could really do some damage since they don't seem to play all that defensive anymore.

I have to say, was waiting for some big defeat on this one, seeing this result is quite incredible.
 
Really really proud of our Navegadoras, i really hope this is the first of many!

And dear lord they were close to kicking USA out....

beats 3-2 and will play as a reward.
 
I assume Italian HC Bertolini will get fired after this shambles? From QF at the last World Cup to the "youth movement" being eliminated in group stage

missed a game winner and scores in 93rd minute after another defending shambles. Still 8 minutes to be played.

1-0 

2-0  on penalty 

Caruso heads in from a corner for 2-2. Italy back in control.

scores for 2-1 after another Orsi error which gave the ball away. Whoa. Just take her off the pitch before she does more damage.

@Monzanator @Jinzha from what I've seen so far I think is having a better performance than , but I know it isn't exactly an easy match.
