Stumbled across this on the FIG website which should help: MAG - Olympic Qualification World Cup Ranking List - 1 of 4.pdf

In theory, UK Athletics should have held their first selection meeting for marathon team yesterday. I am assuming that no athlete was selected in Round 1 by virtue of the fact that they did not finish in the top 8 at last year's World Championships but would have expected they would have made selection of 1-2 athletes under round 2 criteria.

I don't think can take both quotas in the women's balance beam so second quota would go to

I wonder how many of the fouls in Budapest were fouls that would have left a mark in the plasticine as opposed to simply breaking the vertical plane of the take-off line.

Which ranking are you using because I thought and are all ranked higher than and is ahead of ?

Yeah - last 16 is the best we can hope for unfortunately. Having said that, the draw wouldn't have been much better had we been second in the table - in last 32 and then

through as runner-up in the group. / scrape through to the knock out rounds by virtue of having won more games than

looking at a DSQ for one of their players in the final group match of round 2 - because the racquet/bat failed inspection. That would give the tie to but nobody really seems to know what is going on. If that is the case, & would all be tied on 2-2.

The weather conditions seem to be pretty miserable so far - they could only race on the afternoon of Day 1 so were only able to get 1 race in. There was no racing possible yesterday because of the conditions. They are racing today however so updated results should be available later.

You can't help but be impressed by the optimism of some people: Curling Jamaica president eyes for Olympic gold by 2040 (sportsmax.tv)

Japanese squad has now been finalised with the addition of: Women -63Kg: Mirai Takaichi -78Kg: Rika Takayama Men -60Kg: Tatsuki Nagayama -100Kg: Aaron Wolf

squad selected last week: Tim Anderson - Men's Kayak Tristan Carter - Men's Canoe They join Jess Fox on the plane to Paris after her selection was confirmed last year.

A couple of squad announcements confirmed over the weekend: Defending champion Matt Wearn has been selected for the ILCA7 class whilst Grae Morris has been selected for the Men's iQFOiL after a strong showing in recent World Championship. They join Breiana Whitehead who was selected for the Women's Kite late last year.

New Zealand confirmed to be competing in World Cup II in Lucerne in late May: NZ Rowing Team to compete at 2024 World Rowing Cup II in Lucerne, Switzerland 24 – 26 May : RowingNZ Think it is safe to assume this will be pretty close to their Olympic roster but there are a couple of changes to the squads that took part in last year's World Champs: Women's Four - Kerri Williams comes in to replace Ella Cossill Men's Double Sculls - Jordan Parry replaces Benjamin Manson Men's Pair - Dan Williamson joins Phillip Wilson in the crew with Ben Taylor moved to the reserve pair.

will not be defending their Olympic title in the Men's Eight or the silver medal they won in the Women's Eight as they have decided not to send a crew for these events at the Last Chance Regatta. New Zealand Rowing holding trials this week to decide whether to field boats at the LCR for Women's Pair, Women's Quadruple Sculls and Men's Quadruple Sculls.

As I understand it, the winner of each group will be given a bye through to the round of 16: Position 1 - Winner of group 1 Position 16 - Winner of group 3 Position 17 - Winner of group 4 Position 32 - Winner of group 2 Winners of groups 5,6,7 & 8 will then be drawn into positions 8,9, 24 & 25. Group runners-up will be placed in the opposite half of the draw to their group winner and will play against a 3rd placed team - this cannot be a team that they have already played in the group stages.

Internacionales Chelva GSport Challenge Men's Elite 1.) Vlad Dascalu 2.) Samuel Gaze 3.) David Valero Serrano Women's Elite 1.) Savilia Blunk 2.) Evie Richards 3.) Yana Belomoina With her 2nd place, Richards adds 80 points to the total which should extend their lead over in the battle for the last double quota position in the rankings to around 350 points.

Bizarre....just bizarre. Shane Rose: Show jumper competes in mankini - BBC Sport

This weekend was the Oceania Championships although worth mentioning that a lot of the big names didn't take part. Women's Elite: 1.) Sienna Pal 2.) Leila Walker 3.) Megan Williams With no Sakakibara or Reynolds in the field, this will have limited impact on the Olympic ranking. However, Bella May - the 3rd ranking rider for Australia - won the under 23 event, so will add 100 points to their total. Men's Elite: 1.) Joshua Mclean 2.) Michael Bias 3.) Jesse Asmus

I think have finally got a second male athlete over the line with a Paris OQT - Phil Sesseman with 2:08.02 at Seville.

Think Amdouni was close to European Record

Am not sure it is either complete or correct to be honest. The Adelaide entry lists didn't really bear any relation to what we eventually saw on the track.
