Women's Ice Hockey IIHF Division II Group A World Championship 2025

Another heart breaking result I'm resigned to see them competing at next's years IIB -
My not so brief take on the program: I would have to see 4x100 medley in swimming removed from the program. Still I think we need more quotas for every event. Glad to see women's water polo expanded to 12 teams. Please remove women's artistic team and just leave a 24 women's and 12 mixed duets in the program; their quotas given to Open Water and Diving. I'm glad they decided to add the mixed compound events, but at the same time I'm afraid that would take the recurve teams to be contested by only 8 teams per gender, or even try a 2 person team format of which I'm not a fan. Great another change at the Race Walk events and another mixed relay that serves for nothing, FUCK YOU COE!!!! Good thing they expanded 3x3 basketball tournaments, but 16 or 20 teams per gender would have been better. Boxing with less than 20 competitors per event is a complete miss. Canoe sprint distances still doesn't make any sense, particularly women's C1. Just drop the idiocy that is Kayak Cross and bring back the C2 boats. BMX quotas in both racing and freestyle should be raised to 20 and 32 respectively. For God's sake, ¿couldn't they have 36 places for each event in fencing? And please add an extra place for the "reserve" in team events. Keep football tournaments at 12 teams per gender, add 3 players to each roster. Golf should have its quota droped to 48 per gender; tired of seing top players just refusing to attend the Olympics; plus it would really save some time from the long daily schedule. And make the mixed team a separate event with a direct face-off format. ¿Mixed team in artistic gymnastics? Watanabe should stop taking those pills. And since there are now more specialists per apparatus, then please distribute the quotas according to the individual events. Increase the number of individual gymnasts in rhytmic gymnastics and in trampoline gymnastics. Drop mixed team from judo. Modern pentathlon is sure to be axed sure; not only the insist in the "ninja warrior" format, but they cut the number of quotas. Pathetic. Glad to see lightweights in rowing gone, but I would say that a double sculls beach sprint per each gender should been a better option than singles and mixed sculls. Make the air pistol and rifle open events, as the level of men and women is similar. Then drop the mixed teams, and bring back the prone rifle and 50m pistol for men, plus a similar event of the later for women. ¿Could some one explain why do we need Park & Street events in skateboard? Leave the most visually attractive in with 30 quotas per gender, distribute the others. Glad to see they dropped that silly combined format for sports climbing, but they should add more quotas. Go for 32 quotas per gender for surfing. Leave out that mixed team in table tennis. Please, just please, add two more weight classes in tae kwon do or just drop it from the program, Increase beach volley to 32 teams per gender. Stop belittling weightlifting and wrestling, they both need an increase in athlete numbers. Increase general athlete quota to 11200, but without considering the temporary additional sports.

Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1. Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi. there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former. Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo. I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building). So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.

After the first period of today's game against Spain, I had a small hope the team could fight for a medal; but it seems they will instead contest the relegation. -
Oh come on, just the one slice, cake looks tasty and he can purge later.

You mean the real venue is in a neighboring city/municipality?

Well, we're just a few hours away from the start of this series, with the first stop being in my home city, on which the "boycott" was lifting afther the whole 2017 World Aquatics Championships cancellation some years ago. I'll be attending on Saturday and Sunday (finals days), and will try to share some pictures. One of the novelties is that the qualification for the "stages" have suffered some modifications, with more athletes given a chance to start in both individual and synchro events (of course, they needed to obtain certain scores at designated competitions in the past months, including 2024 World Championships and 2024 Olympic Games). The most significant change however, we'll be seen at the finals, in which there will be a head to head format, which you can read more here.

Too bad to hear another case in which athletes are really ashamed and exploited by careless, insensitive bastards, to the point some of them quit the sport they love. Some months ago I helped a former junior Mexican judo competitor to create his own school. One of the main points he wanted to add to the statutes of his association was the existence of a medical and welfare committee, which helped kids with potential abuse from coaches and that this could be replicated at the local level by other schools and the State's judo association. He told me in his own experience, this conducts are often tolerated and silenced by the national federations in order to get more public funding, which of course, is disgusting.

Disrespectful and cruel for junior athletes. So they will send a token delegation of 30-40 people?

So according to my quick count are qualified for the Olympics, last place will be decided between & , the later needing a medal to do so. For the Qualification tournament, & are qualified, joined by either the Norwegians or the Chinese. And in the Pre Qualification tournament we’ll have: from 2024/2025 Worlds from 2024/2025 Europe Division A from 2024/2025 Pan Continental Division A

For the first time in my rather brief memory, a Mexican road cyclist is having some success. Isaac del Toro won the Milano-Torino classic a few days ago, which is always excellent news. The bad ones? The race jury decided to fine him because he raced the last part of the course with his maillot open, "damaging the sport's image" according to the reports in Mexico's media.

FIELD HOCKEY QUOTAS Women's: (H) Men's: (H)

I was hoping each candidate would battle to death with the 1976 gold medallst, in fencing of course. IMO, none of them gives a shit about sports (and Coe has my particular hatred) but let’s expect the least “bad” wins, or at least someone who doesn’t want to cut every event down to 8 starters and bring in “e-sports”

Rowing Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028
mrv86 replied to Totallympics's topic in Rowing
The event was already contested at 2023 Pan American Games, first as a replacement event for M8+ & W8+ due to the lack of contestants in both events, then alogside them. I agree, Eights and Lightweights are looking like candidates to be dropped from the program, the first due to lack of emerging crews, the second cause it makes no difference other than giving continental berths to look more “universal” -
As some of you pointed out, there are some alternatives to one person hosting in a "real" venue. Before @Cobi volunteered, I was thinking maybe we could use his template to collect the votes in a spreadsheet hosted in the cloud. Then 2-3 could verify validate the forms are complete (including reserves), and said persons (or another volunteers) could also help with trnasforming the votes into templates/scoreboards. I myself could research if there's a somewhat easy form to make/transform the info into GIF or dinamic templates; in any case I also volunteer to help. As @Sindo said, we should look for the bright part. Maybe this could be the start of a new stage for TISC.
