OK so I tried, but after 5 minutes watching breaking, found myself having urges to gouge my eyes out and had to switch off. It's an embarrassment that this is deemed worthy of an Olympic spot.

Rebecca McGowan has withdrawn from her -73Kg taekwondo quarterfinal

Great win from Cunningham in the +87Kg quarter final against top seed and world number 5, Atesli of . After his recent performance at Rome Grand Prix, he is putting himself in great position to potentially qualify for Paris through his ranking

Although in other sports this week, GBR have been demonstrating uncanny ability to under perform when it really matters

FFS Liddon has one of her best precision shots all year to top the rankings only to follow it up with a car crash rapid round to finish 3rd from last

Where are you getting the scores? - the results page isn't showing anything for her rapid yet.

There's no quotas going to world ranking under the IOC qualification pathway although it was included in the original IBA proposal. France can qualify through the European Games and the 1st World Qualifier. After the 1st world qualifier, France will advise which, if any, host quotas they are going to use. Any that aren't used will be allocated through the 2nd world qualifier. Of the 9 weight classes where France could use a host quota, they are still active in 6 - 3 on the men's side and 3 on the women's.

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.

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)

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.

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
