This is so devastatingly sad. I met Lara in 2015, and she was a nice person. Condolences to her family, friends and teammates.
 
 

I'm afraid this is not coming as a surprise, but it is absolutely devastating nonetheless. The Dutch speed skating federation has just announced the death of Lara van Ruijven at 27.

Its been 5!! years since Toronto 2015. Time flies by really quickly
 

Oh and even tug of freaking war getting a mixed event, f*ck me sideways  

vs again lol. @hckosice

The "new in" is having more women competing. To the IOC gender equality only matters if its for women.

No word on Artistic Swimming when it's their biggest problem when we talk about equality in the games.
 
If they boot the sport they would have room and quotas for everything else they are asking.....

A simple google search would show there are many ski resorts/courses in the Uk. Its serious enough of a sport, that it won the same amount of medals India won in Rio, an event with more than double the events. I would focus on your country first, arguably the worst sporting nation, before commenting on others.

What a scumbag 

If we take an example of current Tokyo rank situation, only MD (Jason Ho Shue/Nyl Yakura) qualified by rank and WD+XD used the continental representative place quota. This means Canada can send all 3 since this condition satisfy the rule where no NOC can qualify athletes/pairs in more than two events through the Continental Representation Place system. It's just a confusing labelling by BWF between athletes who used a CR quota and just a 5-continent marker.
 
In Rio 2016, US doubles athletes were in the exact situation (only WD qualified by rank) so I think none of the 3 Canadian pairs will be screwed this time (unless BWF decides to smash the rules they created themselves).

I am today's date old when I found out Canada's eastern most point is closer to Croatia than it is to Vancouver. Wow.

FIBA did not comment on it, except saying it will give teams more opportunities, which ofc is not true lol

Not sure if this was brought up anywhere, but the Women's world cup has been reduced to 12 teams moving forward.
