BHUTAN!!!!!

Bhutan's long tradition in Archery is safe!
since Los Angeles 1984 they never missed a single participation in Archery at the Olympics...

That's Bhutan's First ever Olympic quota by qualifications!!

I think  will qualify instead of an Asian team. British girls played very well last summer and I think they could even beat Spain in a good day.

Nevermind that.

and the starters for the qualifier in Toulouse: https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar#!type=starters&comp=8322
So apparently Japan is allowed to send climbers even if they can't qualify 

No. Next week.

Egypt won quota of men's 50m rifle from 3 positions 

interesting results for the men's epee in terms of Olympic qualification...
 
France are still on top and they will stay on top also at the end of today's event...moreover, they're going to increase their margin over their opponents, as they are already qualified to today's Gold Medal match...
 
Italy, who are France's opponents in today's Final, are the biggest climbers of the week, jumping from 7th to a sure top 4 place at the end of the day...
 
on the other side, Russia are the biggest losers, as they are scheduled to play for 13th or 14th place today and they will go down in the ranking from 4th to 7th (but they would still keep a qualifying spot as the best European team outside the top 4, as those teams are all from Europe)...
 
here are the current projected rankings, before today's finals...
 
France  255/267
Switzerland  200/202
Ukraine  187/191
Italy  188/200
China  174/176
South Korea  170/172
Russia  165/166
Japan  156/162
Hungary  140/141
United States  138/139
Kazakhstan  127/128
Denmark  122/123
...
Egypt  95/96 (still safe in the top 16)

yesss!!! the men's epee specialists have made the final! we won a thrilling semifinal bout at the OT against Ukraine that could prove decisive in the race for a spot at the Tokyo Olympics...
 
with this result we're going to make a good climb on the OQR...

results is out

no results at the moment...not even a small tweet or anything...
 
this is a real shame!
 
when FIE would eventually understand that they must not allow Countries with technological blocks on the internet to host any sort of international event, it will always be too late...
 
HD streaming/TV production of the whole event and a true live scoring system should be the minimum requirement even to bid for an event...
