Just like to Russia in artistic swimming?

yeah, they did it at the last minute...
and I don't know what, but something must have happened*, because they were supposed to take part also into this competition (with their individual world champions, not with a B-pair)...
*probably a slight injury to one of the two during the warm-up...
 
or maybe FINA paid them to leave at least 1 gold medal to the rest of the world...

Time for a rendition of the following:
 

phelps is a very old man, everyone knows that breakdancing, freestyle skatesurfing and rap battling while dressed as ninja turtles are the future of the Olympics...no more boring sports for middle-aged and rural people!

Good, I hope for surfing in Tahiti, skateboarding in Guadeloupe, breakdancing in French Guiana...so we can forget that they're part of the Olympics.

After the prelims I think the following divers will get the quotas for Tokyo:
 
CAO; XIE; LAUGHER; HAUSDING; DINGLEY; WOO; PACHECO; KUZNETSOV; SHLEIKHER; KOLODIY BOUDIA; HIXON;
 
Dark Horses: CARTER & IMBEAU-DULAC
 

Yes he has a good future if he gets support from your federation.
 
I really wanted him and Poland's Lesiak to go into semis, but qualifying in men's diving is always cutthroat.

Mohab Ishak was really close from qualifying , if only that 3rd attempt which he got 37  this guy finished 4th in a WC in USA this season , i guess he has some good future , but he needs support from our federation at least to participate in some WCs 

Ok, b teams from USA and Canada i  rugby. If we don't get that gold everyone should be fired.

Not that I'm aware off, sorry.
Only to the results

Thank you... as with the men in this event, it wasn't a medal I expected as this has been our worst event since 2012.
They were regular enough to earn that medal, even when the judges tried to award the Russians enough points in their last dive.
 
Curious fact is that Paola Espinosa earned her first World Championships in this same event, with former partner Laura Sanchez, back in 2003.

Another medal for Mexico, I guess that it's an amazing WCh for them

medal for Mexico  Congrats @mrv86

So I’ve stumbled across Pan Am Sports’s version of the Olympic Channel (I think they are still in the process of creating it as well). There are multiple replays and highlights available from the last 2 Pan American Games (though I think they are still the process of uploading them). It functions nice, and it looks clean. Supposedly they will have year round content and actual television hosts. I also believe they will offer international broadcasting of the 2019 Pan  American Games (but don’t hold me to that, that hasn’t been announced yet). I suggest y’all check it out: https://www.panamsportschannel.org/index.html

I just saw the results interface for Lima 2019, and lets just say this will be very good. Its the same as Toronto 2015 with Lima 2019 branding ofc.

This is a complete phony discipline taking away a lot of quotas from other events... To be honest, let's throw this out and get back to 13 players per team in Water Polo, plus 10 more open swimming and another 12 per gender in diving.
