This will be a wild day between the protests and the alleged emergency decree revoking/modifying 600 laws (!)

Olimpia Awards in (most traditional sport awards ceremony here, with over 60 editions already). The top award ("olimpia de oro") for 2023 was shared between Belen Casetta (athletics, steeplechase, gold medal in pan american games) and Lionel Messi (for who knows what). Third win a row for Messi and fourth overall for him.

If some third party were to intervene (militarily speaking) it would only be USA, nobody else is interested in this conflict as longs as it doesn't go beyond the region in question (Esequibo).

Giannis won't even show up. Spain is qualified, I bet on the baltics for the other two.

I'm satisfied with our perfomance. I knew this song I picked would be in mid table at best and indeed was (at this point I very much doubt we'll find a top 10 contender song for open contests). My personal top 3 was Brazil, UK, Sweden. Tried my best to not vote for the very famous singers but couldn't completely resist.

Old song + not in english + not from worldwide famous artist? not a chance.

OH SHIT this was today??? I thought it was tomorrow for some reason, so sorry Olympian1010.

Javier Milei is the new president of Argentina, the other candidate just admited defeat.

It was probably the best performance I've ever seen from Uruguay.

I'd guess capacity, quality of pitch or maybe some details that aren't so visible to spectators like changing rooms, access security, VIP areas and such.

It won't work if they play no tournaments with the team beforehand.

Veo dos caminos en el futuro cercano para el deporte de alto rendimiento: -Todo sigue mas o menos como ahora, en un limbo sin saber qué hacer con un presupuesto cada vez más devaluado. -Enard, afuera. No tengo expectativas de ninguna mejora pero tampoco creo que sea ético exigirla en la actual situación económica. En definitiva el deporte de alto rendimiento (no así el social) no deja de ser una cuestión superflua en última instancia, más allá del prestigio que traiga al país.

Lo que te digo se ve mas claro cuando comparás por medallas totales. De esas 25 menos, 14 se perdieron en esos dos deportes. Despues hubo solo caidas pequeñas en algunos otros.

La verdad es que el "derrumbe" al final fue mas que nada en remo y natación, el resto hizo lo mismo de siempre.

Pool A: I believe the top 3 should qualify. Pool B: same but India and NZ are inconsistent teams so you never know. There's a chance to see an upset from Japan or USA.

Pool B is stronger but the top 3 seeds are likely to qualify. Pool A is very open for that 3rd place.

Teams qualfied to OQTs (ordered by world ranking):

Teams qualfied to OQTs (ordered by world ranking): We'll probably know who will play in each tournament tomorrow or during the next week but FIH rarely ever does real draws, they always use serpentine system for every competition so... one can try to deduct the line ups with it (one tournament with the teams ranked 1, 4, 5, etc, the other with 2, 3, 6, 7..).

qualifies after a 2-1 win over

won 9-0 and qualified.

Are non Olympic sports getting axed for 2027? And what about non olympic events (like some classes in sailing or handing out golds for every apparatus is RG)?

9 golds today. Told you, United States of Argentina
