So, so wrong. Honestly, Snowboarding should make a move to create it’s own federation at this point. The cuts weren’t horrible, but the FIS has made it clear who they value more. Why the fuck, weren’t Nordic Combined quotas cut? 

Great news!! Big countries have a long tradition of sending 20 athletes, and then only letting 13-15 compete. If there ever was a waste of quotas!

Sorry

fixed 

officially disqualified in team jumping  

Really sad for Eric Lamaze, with his current health this is likely his last chance at Olympic glory. Hopefully he gets in? @dcro

Euro handball is also a useless event, Italians wanted to participate but they have been told that they didn't qualify, that's a disgrace for the competition! I can play handball and I have the right to be in! #BoycottEuroHandball

If countries like Pakistan can qualify but not India, it's not the Games that needs to improve. It's India.
 

qualified a skier.

The one moment that sticks out for me is the men's Olympic gold medal hockey match in 2010, just so much on the line, and concluded with the home team winning the gold medal. By doing so, Canada broke the record for the most amount of gold medals ever at a single edition of the Winter Olympics (and in doing so, was also the most successful host of all time). For a country that hosted the Olympics twice before, and never won any gold on home soil, this was the icing on top of the cake. Can't believe it was almost 10 years ago!
 

 

No, the qualifications are easy. India requested quotas, but failed to register a single eligible skier. Essentially no skiers from India competed at FIS events, so they didn’t qualify. There’s a difference between quotas requested, and quota eligibility. Realistically an Indian skier basically need to complete a Slalom without falling on their ass, or face, and without crashing. However, no Indians entered an FIS event, so the blame lies with no one really. India just didn’t try to qualify.

This is fantastic. I can't wait for the rants of people who were never going to watch this sport anyway, but feel outrageous by such a long distance between the host city and venue, even though they had never planned to travel there anyway.

I thought this might bring back some good memories @intoronto
 

Beyond stupid idea. 

Yea it's actually India.. Perhaps the website wants to compete in 'publishing wrong results' with Southeast Asian Games

won 1 badminton gold

Yes wrong thread lol

A lot of problems within the organizing committee for Santiago 2023. The CEO and President have both resigned...

Half compete one week, then leave, with the second week starting with new athletes. This means less beds would need to be available in the village.

There was a 13 year old  swimmer in Rio, so I would imagine yes.

IOC changed Olympic parade order, with future host nations entering right before the current host, how stupid is that.
