Hope you feel better soon.

Again this "I ate tainted meat"... my God, they're adult pro players, not juniors. They should look what they eat if they are aware meat in often tainted in their countries.

So you can dope and since it was only the first time, they'll let you walk away with this. Shocking

And Brazil has a chance to defend their Olympic title.

Is already there, take a look.

Decent showing for Andrea Montesinos, although she completely missed an element in her short program, and crumbled after the first segment of her free. Still she is improving slowly and has secured a spot in Junior Worlds. Meanwhile, Donovan Carrillo skated a clean short program which earned him a PB in the segment; he should be looking to add a quad next season if he wants to have a chance to be in Beijing 2022. Unfortunately for him, he didn't skate a great free program, with some errors, which in the end cost him qualification for World Championships by just .20 points, which I'm sure he would have been given have he skated for Japan, Russia or USA.

MEXICO After a thorough deliberation, the Mexican jury has selected its entry for the 2020 Totallympics Annual International Song Contest. Without further introduction we present the artists going to Algeria this spring Axel Muñiz ft. Maite Perroni & Juan Magán - Sin Ti

advances to next year Fed Cup playoffs

Indeed a good result... gives me some hopes she won't finish dead last in Tokyo.

I'm not such a fan of Mexico's women's team. Their highest peak was before 2015... since then every player is just as "diva" and has an attitude like on the men's side, so I'm actually cheering for USA.

OK, got it. So no quota either in men's kayak and women's canoe then?

Quotas for Daniel Watkins in men's canoe and Kate Eckhardt in women's kayak What a surprise

Mexico is in

i'm already on it, but you're right it's a little too much. I'll start to upload the previews next week. So far the following quotas are 100% sure: in men's team pursuit. in men's team sprint in women's team sprint Even if they get disqualified at this year's worlds, they couldn't drop below 8th place.

As per the results website it appears 470 and laser boats completed 7 races and RS:X sailors race 10, while Finn class completed all, with only the medal race remaining. That being said, here are the Olympic quotas already decided: 470 M 470 W Finn Laser Radial RS:X M RS:X W

Sure. Here's how the Italian jury result during last year Annual Contest, using the traditional method. J1 J2 J3 J4 J5 TOT IRL 9 8 8 11 2 38 NZL 8 1 5 12 3 29 CRO 1 9 12 7 29 LTU 10 6 4 20 BRA 10 2 2 5 19 TUN 11 5 3 19 NED 7 12 19 CHN 9 9 18 SVK 7 10 17 ALG 10 7 17 ESP 7 9 16 GER 2 12 14 Now here how I propose it could work: 1) First every song receiving the maximum 12 points should be ranked. J1 J2 J3 J4 J5 TOT CRO 12 12 GER 12 12 NED 12 12 NZL 12 12 POL 12 12 2) As we can see, last each jury member chose a different "winner" song. So in this cases the first tie breaking criteria would be total number on individual juries voting for them, which will result in something like this: J1 J2 J3 J4 J5 TOT JV NZL 8 1 5 12 3 29 5 CRO 1 9 12 7 29 4 NED 7 12 19 2 GER 2 12 14 2 POL 12 12 1 3) Then we can see there's still have a tie between the Dutch and German entries. So, the next criteria to apply would be which of those received the "bigger" points, resulting in the Netherlands' song beaing ranked third and Germany's fourth. As you can see at this point, Poland's entry which wasn't originally ranked, yet was deemed the winner by one individual jury would still receive some decent points. 4) Then we will repeat the same process with those songs ranked second by the individual juries: J1 J2 J3 J4 J5 TOT JV IRL 9 8 8 11 2 38 5 TUN 11 5 3 19 3 DEN 3 11 14 2 AUS 1 11 12 2 COL 11 1 12 2 5) Now, Australia and Colombia tie can't be broken by the factors explained above, so a random draw would take place to rank them. 6) Then the same process would be repeated with songs ranked 3rd, then 4th and so son, if necessary.

@OlympicIRL for the moment I choose option A was thinking the following: For multiple member juries, instead of adding the total points, what about applying the tie-breaking criteria? That would mean that for that specific jury, their numer one song should be the one with most individual juries ranking it first. Then in case of a tie, we should look for each song how many 2nd places, then 3rd places, etc. And only in case of an absolute tie, then a random draw?

Couldn't agree more. Still more chances for Aruba to catch Mexico in laser radial, than Mexico overtaking Canada in 470. Poor Trinidad and Tobago has to battle a Canadian fleet

First, and in the foreseable future, only Mexican medalist in a Winter discipline

I'm just glad a Mexican athlete will earn a medal in women's mixed team 3x3 hockey. That would probably make her the first athlete from a Latin American NOC to earn a medal in a Winter Olympic Games

I agree each event should have a continent from every continent; however, with so few quotas it's unfair that they get a free pass just because there are no other competitors in their area.
