    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.

    Bit of a car crash 5th round for Seonaid McIntosh in 10m Rifle qualifying. She scored just 102.9 - the 2nd lowest score of the round. Without she was looking pretty solid to qualify to final. Just as well she secured her Olympic spot already

    Draw sheets for all the weight divisions are now up on the official site under the official reports tab. European Games 2023 (european-games.org)
  13. Rafa Maciel
    With the action getting underway tomorrow, does anyone have a link to the rankings used to determine the seeding in the draws?
  14. Rafa Maciel
    2 failed dives by ? Would struggle to find another competition where that has happened.

    Could almost hear every male in the crowd wincing at the BMX Freestyle after the fall of the Croatian there.
  16. Rafa Maciel
    It's a bit nuts that these draw sheets don't seem to appear anywhere on the official website yet but I think that this may be missing the draw for +92Kg division
  17. Rafa Maciel
    According to the schedule the draw ceremony is due at 14:30 today.

    Before Tokyo there was a big push to up the profile of women's football (and women's sport in general) in the UK, so the home nations agreed to allow GBR team to take part. Don't think Wales or Scotland were actively involved - can't remember if any non English players took part. For Paris, as far as I am aware, there's been no public announcement made that an agreement has been reached so it is all a bit in limbo.

    The best performing team approach only applies to hockey and that is based on the agreement of the home nations federations. Rugby 7s used to be the same but they've now merged to compete under GBR banner. For football, the Scottish FA in particular is very protective of their independence and have been worried that if they agree to a GBR team then UEFA/FIFA will say that Scotland is ineligible for international tournaments.
  20. Rafa Maciel
    Unfortunately I can't see any movement on allowing GB to compete on either the men's or women's side - unless the discussions are taking place in complete secrecy which seems a little unlikely. In contrast, we knew 2 years before Tokyo that the associations had agreed to the women's team competing.
  21. Rafa Maciel
    Perhaps being harsh but having watched the first couple of days across a few sports, I'm not really getting the sense that this is a major international sporting event or the pinnacle of sporting achievement. Hopefully it picks up in the next few days, but at the moment it's giving off a lot of school sports day kind of vibes.

    Anyone know what the story was with Worthington? The BOA is being pretty poor in their comms for these games but she was included in their tweet just before the competition started.
  23. Rafa Maciel
    But equally likely that Okoye ends up barely hitting 60m - great talent but ridiculously inconsistent.
  24. Rafa Maciel
    Am I right in thinking the scoring system for synchro swimming has changed? Comparing these scores to the results from last year's Europeans in Rome and they are more than double.
  25. Rafa Maciel
    Back in the good old days when the BBC actually cared about sports other than football.
