16 yo  rower Achilleas Monastiriotis died in a car accident on his home island of Corfu, he previously was in training camp with our national team and was the national champion U14 in indoor rowing a few years ago.

Rower PAVEL SVOJANOVSKÝ passed away suddenly during handing over the prices after competition. Olympic medalist from 1976, 1980. While getting of the podium, he missed a step, ascended into a void and bumped his head. Ambulance was there in 5 minutes but could not help him. Amazing person, involved in projects of developing Czech Olympic hopes and very well respected person in Czech sports field. Such a tragedy. R.I.P. Mr. SVOJANOVSKÝ 😭😭😭😭

Rustam Djangabaev (6th in current ranking at +102kg) is tested positive for doping, his name had been removed from the World Cup start list, which means he is not going to Paris 2024 anyway
 
that's his 2nd time, we won't see him for a while, maybe forever. 

For two reasons: 1, For internal fairness. Imagine you are the champion of 59kg left unselected, but your teammate 49kg is merely a silver medalist but selected. You will definitely feel unfair and it’s not good for the team atmosphere. Real champions should always prioritize the selection regardless of rivals’ attendance.
 
2, You just never know if North Korea will successfully lobby IOC or IWF for a wild card, maybe only one category per gender. I personally think it possible. No one can guarantee anything until the OG begins.

Morea Baru lifted 281kg today in Group C of men's 61kg. there is nobody from Oceania or Africa competing in Group B or A tomorrow. which means he will 100% finish as the best athlete from these 2 continents.
 
Asia and Europe have multiple athletes in top 10, America has just one, Morris from USA is currently #7  and I'm sure he will stay in top 10. 
 
so PNG lost a quota today by 1kg but they will qualify their first athlete for Paris tomorrow

and the continental quota goes to  Randafiarison , she beat the girl from PNG by just 1 kilo. 
Toua (PNG) lifted 171 yesterday in Group C (which was 1kg better than Randafiarison's previous record) but Randafiarison beat her once again by 172kg today in Group B

I’ll try to attend.

in this case, it's not about the travel ban...it's about the 4 years without a single doping test for the North Korean athletes
 
all the National Federations have been lobbying hard for what basically is a hidden doping ban against  (because it's obvious that the lifters that are destroying record after record, in the past 4 years have been built with God knows what kind of practice)

that's great for her,but she has no power to prevent them from competing.

That's what I mean, athletes/nations can apply for an exception which included travel bans. North Korea effectively banned their athletes from traveling until the Asian Games so they could argue that they should be given an exception.
 
The IWF may not accept it since the rule was in place in cases where the host nation prevented a traveling nation from entering rather than a self-imposed restriction.

Mexico’s best chance for a quota, Nataly Michel (women’s fool), is out as she announced her pregnancy, and thus, a reserve will be forced to compete unprepared in less than a week.

Scottish football, aye!
 
 

This "thought police" policy to accept or deny athletes is madness.  
 
It should be accept everyone or no one. No in between. 

Congrats !  and welcome to the Dark side
 
sincere condolences   That´s however a very brave decision which will imply a lot of sufferance, sorrowfull frustrations and neverending disappointements, but hey once in a loooong period time when there is a sporting success somewhere, the feeling of joy and pride is incalculable I promise you
 
Yeah, not many official info being published into the public, but, I guess her club did not want to release her as her Bishop Kearney is going to play the American Hockey Chamipionship in a couple of days...

Entry List

If anyone is interested MEXFEST '24 in Spotify includes the songs I considered at one point for this edition.
 
Would love to read some thoughts about it.

As a whole, I could see myself listening to this playlist while cruising down the coast. It has a great vibe. However, given the time of the year the vote takes place, and the ability of songs to stand out, I’m really sure what could and couldn’t get points from me.
 
My favorite is probably “Óyeme Bien” by La Garfield. “Fuego” by Zaret also stood out, but it might have gotten lost in the crowd during competition.
