59.42m PB for Jeremiah Nubbe in men’s discus throw at the Texas Invitational!

So regarding the selection criteria in fencing:
 
If a team qualifies for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as per the guidelines of the FIE Olympic Qualification System, the three fencers who have earned the highest number of HPP ranking points (best 7 of 9 results by HPP ranking points, with a minimum of 4 senior world cups being counted) at FIE Senior World Cups, Senior World Championships, and Grand Prix competition between April 3, 2023 to April 30, 2024 will be selected to the Olympic Team.
 
So Gu was in the top 3?? Here is the rankings

Andre DeGrasse opens up his (outdoor) season with a 20.11 (3.1 m/s) in the men’s 200m at the East Coast Relays!

2:09.16 for Kylie Masse in the women’s 200m backstroke at the Acropolis Open! Promising in season times for her heading into Trials/Olympics. 

Yea or Telemark 

I know it's a discipline but I wouldn't be shocked if free riding got added.
 
Other than ski mountaineering I'm not sure what sports (that aren't under the FIS umbrella, like speed skiing) are "locally relevant".
 
Ice climbing, maybe?

Arthur Margelidon has had a rough stretch to start off the season, but rebounds here to win gold in men’s 73kg!
 
Helps improves his Olympic seeding, as
he’ll be trying to finish among the top 8 in the Olympic ranking in order to avoid the seeds before the quarterfinals. 
 
Christa Deguchi won silver in women’s 57kg (slightly disappointing, even if she did lose to Rafaela Silva), and Kelly Deguchi won bronze in women’s 52kg. Julien Frascadore 7th in men’s 66kg. 

Stoss also hinted that both sides are already looking beyond the likely awarding of the Games in July, suggesting that discussions about new sports have already begun.
“Immediately after the election we will come together to finalize the Olympic Program and it will be time in 2025 or 2026 to talk about new sports,” Stoss said.
“We have some ideas, we discussed it already,” he said about the organizing committee’s option to propose additional, locally relevant sports to the Winter Olympic program.

Snow volleyball anyone?

Rip Canada but happy for Estonia

These results are from 2023 African Championships!

There were two further editions of the Olympic Games before I was born. Feel old again? 

Richardson/Gills fall one point shy of a quota in NACRA 17 at the Last Chance Regatta. Also won’t be qualifying in ICLA 7 for the first time in history. What a shame.

Sorry I missed that

@Topicmaster1010 already included that!

I feel young again. I was not born 

Thanks! Numbers looking bleak atm but I feel like we will be 50+ when things are all said and done

55.36 for Savannah Sutherland in the women’s 400m hurdles at the Penn Relays!

Right, that's kind of important.
 
Individual qualifiers add up to 23 women + 16 men
 
+ 1 mixed race walk quote is 40 athletes.

I was expecting our C-2 boat to qualify that way we can send two men in the discipline.

I had the same reaction regarding Gu. Wtf?
