Turkish athletes are really starting to make me angry, what is this shit? Its pathetic, i really dont understand why turkish people arent embarrassed about all this. They have more than 80 million people but cant produce a single world class athlete on their own.

Luckily this year I am a student, and my last class' assignment is due on August 4! Great timing if you ask me

I have already reserved my vacation (15 working days) from Monday 1st August to Sunday 21st August   My boss wasn´t very happy with that, but well, what can he do ?  I conserved the whole year my vacation days, I went to work each day sometimes pissed and angry, sometimes annoyed and lazy, but I knew that it will pay off and I´ll be very happy in August so just less than 1 month to survive and let start the best possible holidays with my TV and PC

The road-to-rio page is a very huge project to manage for one or two people. The list are not compiled by the site itself but are extracted from the  Tilastopaja statistics website. The road-to-rio page then then adds all the qualification and selection information. There are so many events happening throughout the world, athletes switching allegiance to get a shot at competing in Rio, athletes getting injured or disqualified for doping, and countries starting to announce their selection,  that it is difficult to keep track of everything.
 
Jordin Andrade was listed on the site but still as an American. I have sent a note to the website and his citizenship has been updated now.
 
Oliver is really reactive. So if you think there is a mistake or some information missing, don't hesitate to drop him a note. http://www.road-to-rio.com/about.php
 

If Iceland wins tomorrow I'll spend at least 40 hours in the rest of the year to try and learn Icelandic in their honour  

Olsen and Rose Woo are first year senior gymnasts. They are great.

You are right.
 
You can only exchange a maximum of one. 

you still must count in that in canoe slalom, especially in C1, very small entry list, harder track, stronger wind and a lot of favorites may have some serious troubles in the final race and miss gates, (look at womens K1 in Beijing 2008 ) it happened many times before, it´s also a reason why this sport is great, you never know what will happen, so in C1 I count on a slim chance also for Cameron

Go go vanuatu

Turkish peoples start to boycott pizza, pasta and italian brands becouse we haven't beat Ireland 

Africa: KEN (M) / MAR (W) MRI (W)

Oceania: NRU (M) / SOL (W)
Pan-America: CHI (M) GUA (M) / ARG (W) PER (W) URU (W)
 
These are the countries receiving reallocated quotas (via the IWF)

the best winter olympic I watched.
ofc I heard and read a tons of quotes and pics that Lillehammer 94 or Oslo 52 were surely better, I can´t argue certainly they were !  but I just can´t forget Vancouver, I immediately fell in love with Vancouver 2010 already during the opening ceremony and all this atmosphere also in memory of the georgian luger Kumaritasvili, and each next day was better and better, I still have all these beautiful images of amazing landscapes and venues and great competitions.
for me Vancouver was simply the best.

I strongly suggest that you don't visit Tonga any time soon.

Yea, the BWF wrote not eligible beside his name (then updated it ).

That's nice, do you want a cookie now?

No comments... I can't anymore. 
 
Ignore list here we come.

wow, voting for the logo of a modern pentathlon competition. I'm sure the masses out there are desperate to take part.

Would be pretty cool to have four North American / six American teams in the Olympics
 
Come on Poland!
