Just noticed this: Kaarle McCulloch to step down as GBCT women's sprint podium coach (britishcycling.org.uk) McCulloch has been a huge asset for Team GB and her departure will be a big blow for them in the run up to Paris. Since the retirement of Victoria Pendleton, we've struggled on the women's sprint side of things, but the team are in a good place for qualification and hopefully can take advantage of the home crowd to bank some big points at the world champs in Glasgow.

All of the weight divisions now down to at least the last 16. Italy and Ukraine currently sitting top of the pile with 12 boxers still in contention whilst Armenia and Turkey are close behind both having 11 boxers left. Ireland have lost two fighters but still have 10 in play. It was a pretty disastrous day for GBR as they lost a further 3 bouts to leave them with 9 boxers still in contention. Also sitting on 9 fighters left are Spain, Poland and France.

This is rapidly turning into a bit of crappy day for -
Another fairly disappointing performance from Rutter - thankfully she already has her Olympic quota. Hopefully the Llewellin can avoid the same fate when he goes in his semi-final later.
-
Have a feeling that will mean that GBR will miss out on a quota in the women's pentathlon here. Had expected Bryson to be contending for a top 8 finish given her recent form. Can't see Varley making it out of the second heat unless she can have a stellar run.

Beach Volleyball 2023 Discussion Thread
Rafa Maciel replied to Totallympics's topic in Beach Volleyball
Haven't seen any info on broadcast yet. Assume it will be confirmed next month. -
Doesn't this mean that the FIE are going to be actively discriminating against European athletes? Unless the ranking points are going to be taken from the other continental events then how is there a level playing field for all athletes looking to secure qualification to Paris?

looks like Sinden has withdrawn from the gold medal match

Pools have been announced for the European Champs in August. Bello brothers have managed to qualify this year which is a step on from last year when they missed out on a ticket to Munich. EuroBeachVolley23 Men | EuroBeachVolley (cev.eu) -
Triathlon WT World Championship Series 2023

Great performance from Beth Potter - her 2nd win of the season -
Duet rather than the team
-
In taekwondo, the gold medal match in the men's -68Kg division is no longer appearing on the schedule - hopefully not an injury for Sinden And now it's back!
-
Did we ever get to the bottom of whether the gold would win a quota spot? Seems to be some disagreement about whether this was the European qualifier or whether the team spot will be awarded at next year's European champs.

Jade Jones safely through to quarter finals. Defeated Grettarsdottir 2-0 (14-0, 8-0)
-
Alexander Hart and Alberto Arevalo both fail to make it out of qualifying and it looks like Ross Haslam will top the preliminaries but If Wessemann can tidy up his back 3.5 summersault then he may be marginal favourite.

Women's Water Polo LEN European Championship 2024
Rafa Maciel replied to Totallympics's topic in Water Polo
Who knew that Team GB had resurrected their water polo teams! currently beating in their first qualifying match. Let's hope they don't throw it away like the British basketball team did when they were up against Germany. -
And a guaranteed Olympic Quota for right?
-
BBC doesn't have any available staff to cover the European Games - it is sending over 1,000 staff to cover Glastonbury instead - they'd rather be messing around in a muddy field than presenting from an empty stadium about athletes that most people in UK couldn't pick out in a line-up
-
Yeah but back up and running now
-
Isn't it a bronze? Latvian ran 15:15 in division 2
-
Did I miss see that or do the on-screen graphics have a ? in the middle of Turkiye?
-
If it is a drawn round then I think they count the punches/attacks/power - at least that is what I think they do at the Global events.
-
Looks like there are a few gremlins in the results - Nour actually lost the first round but came back to win the next two to progress. Nour took a pretty nasty punch to the face in the 2nd round and it looked for a while that he was really unsteady on his feet so fair play to him for managing to fight on and take the win.

No we didn't

Trying to watch the athletics and europeangames.tv is redirecting me to BBC iPlayer - only problem is that the BBC has no interest in field events so wont start their coverage for another 30 minutes.
