Canada made the WC final through a flag behind the net... probably the only way it will ever make a world cup minus 2026

More european stuff added to calendar woohoo how exciting.

Fuck off 

"It's coming home, it's coming home, England's coming home" 

I was gonna tag you to his comment lol 

3 SVK boats nice. Hope they will enjoy the tournament and nobody drowns

Table of entries
 
Quite intriguing to see entered in multiple events. They are probably aiming for the free Oceanian spots for Tokyo.

Olympic Champion Kikkan Randall (USA) diagnosed with breast cancer...
apparently it's been diagnosed early enough and the prognosis is good...

good luck to her...I hope in a full and (relatively) quick recovery...

I'd not even put Croatia among the underdogs before the World Cup started and now they have a real chance to win the title.

What the heck? 

Since I jinx every team I root for, GO FRANCE! I'm rooting for France! *wink*¨*wink*

Football is not coming home hahahaha

And Canada just won against Dominican Republic, joining Brazil is semifinals - which means both teams are now qualified for the Pan American Games.
 

I think some sailing qualifiers already happened.
 
And Virgin Islands already well over their team size in 2015 

Coincidentally you opened this thread three days to the exact date the Toronto 2015 games started (with water polo matches),great timing

I am hoping wins its first ever World Juniors Medal. They have a top 5 400m runner, their 4x400 relay team is quite good and could challenge for a medal and their 3000m steeplechase runner has the world lead time in the 2000m version of the event.

Warren Weir will compete for Jamaica.... in rugby sevens

I hope England finish fourth

Thought it was a good moment to open this thread since the Women's Volleyball Pan American Cup (which will give 5 spots for the Pan Am Games) will start this Sunday + the Central American and Caribbean Games (which will give spots in a lot of sports) will start very soon. Gradually I will be updating the number of qualified athletes in the second post (I'm still unsure about some sports).
 

Prince Harry's long lost twin sister did a good job taking out the defending champion  

And hello to weight categories with 5 people.

Happy Canada Day  to my northern neighbors and fellow totallympians

Just wanted to make clear that Japan isn't any better when it comes to gamesmanship. If that opinion of yours was just based on personal preferences i have no problem with that.

You won't find them anywhere. 
Blame the OC, everything but the broadcasting of this event was top notch. There is absolutely no replays except some highlight videos on youtube
Darn shame because I missed quite a bit of everything minus gymnastics, volleyball and racquetball/squash (and event then for the last three I missed quite a bit).  
AFAIK, TO2015 was required to film every minute of competition, so the footage exists but I believe its up to Panamsports to get it up onto Youtube. They just revamped their website so maybe they will get to it lol. 

Yes this is terribly sad for them, they'll comfort themselves by celebrating. 

Yea that's where so many of them made the R16 here!
