Florence Brunelle just became a triple World Champion at the World Junior Championships (500, 1000 and 3000 m relay), Ann-Sophie Bachand also won silver in the 500 and looked really good. If they both continue, along with Kim Boutin and Courtney Sarault, we have a strong foursome for Milan 2026.

The men on the other hand, NO MEDALS since 2016, and that was won by, you guessed it Steven Dubois. 

France just won its first ever World Junior medal!
 
Hungary looks like they are continuing their push in the sport without the Liu brothers.
 
Florence Brunelle of Canada, triple World Junior Champion.

Ben Titley's contract was not renewed by Swimming Canada (sounds like a money reason) 
 
Titley was the architect of Canada's team going through a reinesance. This is a huge loss.

Also more women than men allowed to compete.

Sailing qualification system will be available tomorrow. @mrv86
 
All events have 8 or 9 entries except the laser events.
 
So probably means we should a trickle of info

Speaking of quotas from the Junior Pan American Games, here are the allocated quotas based on the qualification document from the junior games. As a reminder with the exception of basketball, boxing, volleyball and wrestling the quotas are tied specifically to the athlete. With the exception of basketball and volleyball, should the quota be declined there will be no reallocation (basketball and volleyball will be reallocated through the 2023 Pan American Games qualification process)

Chile - 5
Dominican Republic - 5
Peru - 4
Canada - 3
Aruba - 2
Costa Rica - 2
Paraguay - 2
Uruguay - 2
Bolivia - 1
Guatemala - 1

While I get the need to have quota limitations for each sport, they really need to have qualifiers for all sports instead of giving a country an overall quota.

Ecaterina Guica has retired officially.

Ecaterina Guica has retired officially.

I read that India confirmed they’ll send their B teams to the Commonwealth Games. Asian Games are too close to send a A teams to both.

Eritrea is also run by a dictator... not too surprising. Some call it the 'North Korea of Africa'

Also a lot of X's on the board. Grow a backbone and decide one way or another.

Well, I already wrote it a couple of days ago in the MIlano-Cortina Thread
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
From usually well infromed sources the different national hockey federations were already informed about the Men tournament qualification format for Milano/Cortina 2026.
 
Same format will be played as the Vancouver, Sochi, PyeongChang and Beijing tournaments.
 
12 teams tournament, 8 qualified directly via IIHF ranking after next year 2023 World Championships, 1 automatical host quota for Bella Italia and 3 will advance from 4 rounds qualification Tournaments, with 9th, 10th and 11th ranked IIHF 2023 country hosting the final qualification tournaments.
 
The final IIHF world ranking will be counted the usual way:
 
 
Last 4 WChs and last Olympic Tournament will be counted,
 
with the 2023 WCh having 100% counts, 2022 WCh 75%, WCh 2021 50% and WCh 2020 (since was not played due pandemic the 2019 will be used instead) 25%  and The last Olympics have 100% counting value.  
So basically the qualifying ranking right now for Milano looks so
 
Rank NOC WCh 2023 WCh 2022 WOG 2022 WCh 2021 WCh 2020(19) Total 1.     1200 1160 1120 1760 2.     1160 1060 1160 1690 3.     1040 1200 1200 1680 4.     1060 1120 1040 1615 5.     1120 1000 960 1580 6.     1100 960 1100 1580 7.     1000 1040 1000 1520 8.     940 1100 1020 1510                 9.     960 1020 1060 1495 10.     1020 900 900 1440 11.     920 920 940 1385                 12.     880 880 920 1330  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
this the amount of points nations win via WCH
 
  1. 1200 9. 960 17. 800 25. 640 33. 480 41. 320 2. 1160 10. 940 18. 780 26. 620 34. 460 42. 300 3. 1120 11. 920 19. 760 27. 600 35. 440 43. 280 4. 1100 12. 900 20. 740 28. 580 36. 420 44. 260 5. 1060 13. 880 21. 720 29. 560 37. 400 45. 240 6. 1040 14. 860 22. 700 30. 540 38. 380 46. 220 7. 1020 15. 840 23. 680 31. 520 39. 360 47. 200 8. 1000 16. 820 24. 660 32. 500 40. 340 48. 180  
 
so if they not allowed to play in Dvision I A this year (which they will not) it means at max 720 for 21st place (will be counted 75%)
and next year (assuming they will be relegated again) and they win the Division I B it is 680 points for 23rd place (100% counted) that would be really bad for them but again we muxt count the 1160 points from Beijing which can at the end save them
 

2021-2024 Canadian Athlete Summer Olympic Database
 
Welcome to the Canadian Athlete Olympic Database. Here we will track the performance of Canadian athletes starting from August 2021 (after the 2020 Summer Olympics) until the beginning of the 2024 Summer Olympics. This database will primarily focus on tracking athlete and team performances in Summer Olympic events. Some exceptions will be for non-Olympic events where athletes may seamless transition to an Olympic event just before the Olympics such as different weight classes in combat sports or lead/bouldering events in sport climbing.
 
Each athlete/team who competed at a top level competition such as world championships, world cup/series events, Pan American championships, multi-sport games or other high level competitions will be listed.

Apparently Panamsports will be approving them this week

I think it depends. I don't think there should be a rash decision atm. I think take it day by day and decide. Obviously we need to be cognizant of our Ukranian delegation competing here.

To be clear, if I had any decision power on this I would: 
 
1. Not allow Russia to host this play-off, for security reasons. 
 
2. Allow participation of Russian team since their coaching staff and players have not done anything wrong.  
 
3. Deny the russian football federation the prize money from WC participation (should they qualify) until their government ceases hostilities.

Some tidbits:
 
Surfing maintains its quota of 88 (pretty much same qualification system in 2019)
Weightlifting is surprisingly up to 140 quotas (from 126~ in 2015 and 2019). The program will match Paris 2024, so 10 events total.
 

Here is an update to Canada's 2022 Commonwealth Games team
 
Canada can only enter a max of 130 athletes (minus para sport) across these sports at Birmingham 2022:
Athletics, Aquatics, Badminton, Boxing, Cycling, Gymnastics, Judo, Lawn Bowls, Squash, Triathlon, Wrestling
 
These sports are open qualification:
 
(3x3 Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Hockey, Rugby Sevens, Table Tennis, Weightlifting,and all para events). - These are all sports Canada has qualified in, with more quotas possible in the individual events.
 
Here are the quotas for these sports
 
Athletics: 31
Badminton: 8
Boxing: ??
Cycling: 16 (a reduction of 2 from 2018). Canada will not compete in mountain biking or the team pursuit events in track.
Gymnastics: 13
Diving: ??
Judo: 9 (looks like an A team is going)
Lawn Bowls: 10
Squash:  4 (increase of 2)
Swimming: 23
Triathlon: 6
Wrestling: 12
