Ill never trust Italian basketball after the 2006 NBA Draft, but props to them for advancing

It’s a really good thing  got a free quota in women’s 3x3 from the diversity tournament, it is the only way such a minor basketball nation could ever qualify.

A - you never know what will happen at the Olympics
B - in 2016 the host quota was automatically seeded at 4, not sure if that's happening this time but it would knock Zolotic down to 7th seed.

Kinda sad to see they'll have such a small delegation after hosting somewhat successfully the 2018 South American Games.

Canada leads for the first time in the game. In overtime.

5 mins.. if tied, another 5 mins and onward

in my opinion......   The excuse given by the CWG is ridiculous .......
 
 
They could not hold a shooting championship in South England as they did not have facilities ....Sounds ridculous ... while they could do it manchester , glasgow , edinborough , london, bisley  etc etc  ....... the biusley venue is just an hour and a half away ..... ( closer than the cycling venue ) 
 
 
This is clearly aimed at an unsportsmanlike thwarting of sports they do badly at ( and India does wellat ) .........
 
Personally I think that the Birmingham team are a pack of cheaters ....... and should be called out for what they are ....... I am glad Indians called them out for this .......
 
 

FIBA is known for this. They used to have 4 wildcards picked for the World Championships, and Im sure many countries paid bribes to get one of those slots.

thank you for your job which is great to find the selection of countries!

Insane. Fiba should be investigated next.

4, but you can name another athlete too it as well. Canada's omnium athlete was named to both.

I kind of think the “alternates count” in team sports should be a permanent change tbh. They can still travel at the cost of the NCO / not be hosted in the village, but not considering them Olympians and not allowing them to compete just to artificially lowering the number of athletes is just petty.

Yes, LOL, apparently so.  This must be first Olympics ever with zero USA race walkers.  I have not read anything about it, but I would think heat in Eugene had something to do with no one coming close to the standard.  Maybe in 2024, learning their lesson from here, they will have 20K trials in a cooler time of year.

"India is the worst performing nations in the CWG"     well as per last chart  we were third and above Canada .......
 
 
  Rank CGA Gold Silver Bronze Total 1  Australia (AUS)* 80 59 59 198 2  England (ENG) 45 45 46 136 3  India (IND) 26 20 20 66 4  Canada (CAN) 15 40 27 82  
so if we are the worst performing , Canada ?? 
 
I personally think that to cut shooting was a clear strategy of the big three to cut india  down to size .......   
 
 
 
.   

And yet oddly it attracts large numbers of spectators and produces many athletes who go on to success at world and olympic level.

I wonder if the crybaby is going to boycott now. 

This is becoming embarrassing for you. You  said you were the best. Then you denied it despite the evidence to the contrary. You've dug yourself into a hole and I strongly advise you to stop digging.

Of course you don’t miss it;  is the largest & most underperforming nation in the history of Commonwealth sports. I agree that the CG does not mean as much as it did 40 years ago, but it is still a vital stepping stone to full World & Olympic level/
