Its a problem in a lot of countries you would expect not to have these issues.

Yea I am surprised at that too. However, you would think there is financial gain to be moving to Hungary.

Welcome Hungary to the club of buying athletes.

I believe for the Youth Olympics, there are travel grants given.

This is insane. A random draw decides who gets a third qualifier.

A lot of "Western" countries see athletes from less developed nations move there by choice. Nothing to do with the country enticing them (for the most part)

May 3 ranking will be used and will go down the list till the quota is complete.

equalizes with 15 seconds and qualifies for the top division! Incredible.

THank you Finland!

I read that as Lesotho lol

Also, noticed Canada greatly helped its neighbour to the south, the USA by extending its lead

I am sorry for accidentally hinting at my top vote nation earlier in the thread. I didn't think anyone would remember lol.

"Extreme" canoe slalom has been added to the Pan Am Games program. Whatever that is

Guyana recorded their first-ever World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship win by beating 2012 bronze medallists Austria at the Östersund Arena in Östersund. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1064331/guyana-shock-austria-to-claim-first-ever-world-mixed-doubles-curling-championship-victory WOW!

10 dead. First id victim worked with Tennis Canada... so the sporting world mourns as well. 2 Korean nationals are also dead (the attack started around Koreatown)

Can you please not link non-English sources.

At least 8 dead, 7 in hospital. Just walked this stretch of road yesterday, unbelievable

Teams are going to be double for 2022, so maybe its not an impossible dream!

almost beat at the mixed doubles worlds. Brazil had a point lead heading into the last end and gave up 3!.

qualifies for the 2019 Pan Am Games.

only lost by 2 against at the mixed doubles world championships. Not bad!
