Some unexpected ranking right now. I think the OG quotas will be surprising. It looks like may make it. I know it's not over yet but they will surely be either close or they will get the quota in my opinion..

Yeah, I was also surprised seeing two young girls. Well, they have improved a lot but I think that they are currently aiming for LA28.

What's your position??

What about you? Work or travel?

Tourist guide with one of the official resellers. My major ;-)

Well, I will be there working so I hope to find some time to go to grab a beer with you guys 😜😜

Yeah, I will most likely be there. Sure, would be nice to meet :-)

Hey guys, does it count if you manage Olympic limit during indoor meeting? Speaking mostly about runs such as 200m, 800m, 1500m ? I know that technical disciplines count but not sure about the runs ....

I would say "never give up on them" ...... The world relays are still more than 3 months out, we don't know the draws yet. Sometimes, one heat might be with 1 strong team and other 4 teams with similar performance expectations to fight for the second Olympic spot. Lately, we haven't had much chances and opportunities in relays as we did not make it to major events. Now, in my opinion, strongest chances are for mixed 4x400 and female 4x400 with a strong young generation. Middle chances for male 4x100 and 4x400 and minor chances for female 4x100. But for past more than 10 years I finally see bigger chances in several relays. My guess is that will qualify 3 relays to Paris.

So Tomas Machac started in doubles with 0 points in the world ranking before the Australian open. Paired up with Zhang Zhizhen and they already made it to semifinals. From 0 to 720 points and quick improve from nothing to about 120th place. And if they make it to the final, he will appx. gain Doubles positions around 60-70, a spot where is ranked in singles. This is really impressive. I think this connection will last....

Linda did not seem to me at the beginning like she could defeat IGA. But she played quite smart tennis. Sometimes conservative and sometimes aggressive. Never shew her temper or anger. I was so surprised by what kind of tactics she followed. I would not give up on her. Yeah, Elina is a tough opponent. I would say it is hard for anyone to defeat her. But so it is with Iga. Let's see what other rounds will bring us 😉

A bit disappointment from Lehecka. But maybe got too tired after the title in Adelaide. Still after AO will be around 35th place ranking. Holding a good position.

Indeed. I would not be surprised if they were aiming for mixed doubles in Paris. They wanted to play in Tokyo but Tomas was low in ranking so they did not make a cut. Now, he is going higher in singles, also in doubles. So I guess they will play there.

Interesting progress of Tomas Machac in doubles 😄😄. Maybe getting ready for the Olympic doubles? 🤔🤔

For me, Shenzhen is around 1800km 😂😂. But maybe I would go. Will see, but better to plan ahead.

@Vic Liuare you going to watch? I am thinking to go 🤔🤔

I could help out if needed. Got more free time these days so I could take care of track and field competitions. Always been my passion ☺️

The same they had it London. And if I am not mistaken, they even served there St. Patrick's beer, or we can just call a green beer 😃😃

For those who are travelling to Paris. It has always been a great activity to select a free day and take an Olympic House Tour or just visit some during the games at any time. In the Olympic Houses we can meet athletes, experience the country's customs, food, alcohol, history, sports etc. Let's share here information about Olympic Houses. I suppose there might be around 40 Olympic Houses as for the first time in the history should be Polish Olympic House and maybe even China Olympic House. I will keep one post pinned to the top with information about each country's Olympic house, especially address, entrance fee and other important information.

Thanks. Well, I think Iga and Hubert will be the highest candidates for gold in mixed doubles. No doubt about that. I am honestly hoping for a medal of Czech couple Kateřina Siniakova and Tomas Machac. They have been dating for quite some time, Machac is now we'll placed in ranking so I think will qualify and they will surely have their chances. Thanks for praising Pilsner. Honestly, it's the best beer I have ever drank 😉 Olympics in Paris will be great. Can't wait to be there. And of course, Olympic house tour is really a nice thing to do. :-) Maybe some other time, we may meet up at one edition of the Olympic Games. Maybe also with some other members, we should gather up in Paris and have a beer 🍺🍺

Well, Pilsner Urquell withdrew from Paris due to IOC supporting Russian athletes but I still I think it will be fabulous. The Czech houses in London and Pyeongchang were amazing. I think there will be more than in London. I am happy to visit Polish house. You guys have usually many medalists so no wonder the Polish house will be there :-) ..... My guess is that there will be something like 30-40 Olympic houses. I guess now demand is much higher than in London and they will be visited places but fans from all across the globe.

That's nice. I got my 9 Olympic tickets, so happy. And I will surely do Olympic House tour just like I did in London, Sochi and Pyeongchang. Does anybody have any info of other Olympic houses? Which country will have an Olympic house opened to public and where it will be located? Share some links. Thanks
