I think instead of allocating 2 spots here (for Americas) WBSC should have allowed 3 spots (rather than 2) in the 2027 WBSC premiere. ( 1 each for Asia, Europe & Americas)
 
That way it would have ensured two things : ONLY the top team from Americas gets the quota here ( deservedly so) additionally it would have allowed teams from Americas a second shot at qualification from the 2027 premieres. 
 
Getting only 1 tournament , more than 2 years ahead of olympics is very harsh on the teams from Americas. 
 

Congratulations to  &   on olympic 2028 qualification . 
  is having a fabulous tournament & I hope  improves & should get that asian quota.

I'm annoyed because Venezuela will have like 20 more opportunities for future Olympics, for Canada this is going to be our best chance in the next couple decades. Not pleased.

I know my fellow Canadians will be upset over this result. I too am also sad to see Canada not get a quota.
 
But at the same time, super happy for  Venezuela. They were given a tough hand being in the same pool as the DR and facing Japan in the quarterfinals but still managed to reach the semifinals. They deserved this quota and if MLB players will be in the Olympics, I'm glad we'll be able to see Acuna and the rest of the Venezuelan superstars at the Olympics.
 
Huge congratulations to them!

Congrats
 
Both semifinal matches will be exciting to watch.

Well, despite the completly bullshit qualification system the two best teams from the Americas qualified. Some folks at WBSC are gonna be happy tonight.

Poland was so close 😞

A new version of the Qualification Tracker has been prepared.
 
As a starting point, the first sport available is Baseball, with the first Olympic qualification event currently in progress.
 
I will help @Matej to set up the trackers for all sports. Afterwards, he will be the main person responsible for updating them, but if anyone would like to help, please feel free to let us know.

There were lots of good moments , this olympics felt so special (I am talking of WOG). The last time I really enjoyed viewing WOG was in Sochi & this tops it. So many feel good moments, very well attended event with spectators filling up stands & making an atmosphere. So many top performances, but for me the  women team dominating the Biathlon event was really special. All 3 of them were just so good & gave top performance. I love it how the female commentator pronounced  Lou Jeanmonnot  & finally grazie mille  we loved it! Thanks for making me fall in love with winter sports again
