Un­der-23 ath­letes will compete at the Caribbean Games, which are scheduled to be held once every four years.

from the World ranking obviously only Haya Jumaa has a chance, she is 6th right now, she is currently 900pts behind Prekovic and 1500 behind Coban, still very possible to surpass one of them to qualify. even though you can reduce 1000pts from Coban and 330 from Prekovic. which makes it much closer. those points from 2019 Euro wlil be replaced by 2020 Euro. of course Coban can win the gold medal once again to defend her points. but as of now if we reduce those points, Jumaa is something like 600pts behind them. with 3 events left that's still very possible but she needs big results.
 
none of the Canadians won gold at the Pan American Games, so no chance for the continental quota. so the Paris qualifier will be the last chance.

no matter how, Uzbekistan always chokes in football. that's something you always can bet on

North Korea defeated South Korea and qualified for Tokyo
 
qualified too

Im surprised CONCACAF approved this, especially since a Canadian heads the organization. I'd imagine Canada would be on the bubble there.

will compete in the women's Pan Am team championships @Griff88
 
(and no will not be competing).

Handball final: Europe v. Europe or Europe v. Europe
Baseball Final: North America v. Asia or North America v. South America or Asia v. South America (and with Australia and Netherlands, both Oceania and Europe have realistic chances as well)

When you woke up at 1am for see Australian Open and it's raining...
 
 

USA player Lane Hutson scores a penalty shot goal... then skates by the Swiss bench grabbing his jersey and waving it in the faces of Switzerland.
He's 15 years old. 
He just got a 10 misconduct for it. 
 

So do you want increase the useless quotas for Oceania? No thanks.

Nice to wake up with Canada winning a couple of medals.

I swear if Amaya gets fourth in the Mass Start. I’m canceling the games.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) can confirm men’s singles world No.1 Kento Momota was involved in a motor vehicle accident in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Monday morning. 
Momota sustained multiple laceration wounds to the face plus right maxillary sinus and nasal bone fracture and was taken to Putrajaya Hospital for treatment. He is in a stable condition.
The driver of the vehicle was killed. 
Three others were involved – Japan team assistant coach, Hirayama Yu; team physiotherapist Morimoto Akifumi; and Hawkeye system operator, William Thomas.
All three are in a stable condition. A BWF manager has been at the hospital throughout the morning to provide assistance to all parties involved.

I'd like you to notice, that some of the contestants predicted for the #25 the country that doesn't play in the session 4. I remind you, you have time for the correction until 9:00 CET. I call all the contestants, so that no one gets suggested by anything: @hckosice @intoronto @George_D @Chatan @Olympian1010 @Federer91 @vinipereira @dcro @heywoodu @tuniscof

The If this could be formatted and pinned to the first post by a mod, that would be great

What a joke. I wonder what they will do for 2030? Canada will likely host and has not proposed shooting as a sport (I sent this is a reminder to the Hamilton bid committee but they won't budge.)

Don't give the IHF ideas lol

@dcro this is the article https://ceylontoday.lk/print-more/48578 
 
Also, she is aware she is close to qualifying. 

Spoke with a Sri Lankan journalist and sent them your link and they were writing an article on it lol
 Global reach for this forum.

And you are a old man, so one could expect complicity...
