30-70 in favor of public would be ideal. Enough to prevent clown acts from winning but also to not see a quality crowd favorite like Finland lose.

Every time they send Flamenco-like music they get trounced. They should just accept at this point they have to embrace the latino reggaeton-type trash in order to have a chance

Para sumarle al día: Sasia tiró 20.74 que es record sudamericano sub 23. O sea, ni Lauro ni los brasileros tiraron eso a su edad.

qualified for OG.

Do these small sports really think the wisest decision is taking money from those shitty streaming services that nobody will buy? Yes, YT is no money but long term your sport is going to lose a lot of casual audience forever....

Same for us, but I don't really care well, maybe about the waste of taxpayer money.

Sorry if I sound like a broken record but... Gimson-Burnet: “We’ve had a whole week of our conditions. We had the one windy race at the start, but it’s generally been light air since and we worked on that quite a lot this winter, so we’re quite happy that the pace has been good. We’ll take that (winning the Palma and Hyères world cups in April)." “I think it’s still quite open (the class). We’ve had our breeze this week, but I’m sure if we’d been foiling the Italians would have been equally as strong. Last year was quite breezy (series) and we foiled in almost every regatta. This year, so far, has been quite a light airs year - every dog has its day." I was not surprised Argentina did well for the same reason.

I know this coming from a nation that has perennial token participation in several team sports: losing 3 million games to top teams doesn't make you any better. Work on grassroots level and internal competition are much more decisive factors. Once that is in place, victories at higher levels come by themselves and after that the right to be part of the elite of the sport in question.

Well, I don't think it's too bad. What is the W-L record of teams like Kenya, Japan, Canada this season? Something like 5-45? Few years ago they were always decent but now they seemingly can't challenge anyone. We already saw Wales and Scotland getting cut after basically losing every game they played. It's like sevens is becoming less and less competitive every year (or have the top teams improved too much?).

won. Is men's World Series next season going to have 12 team tournaments (ala Olympics) or they stay with 16 teams but with just 12 of them being core teams?

Calendar and venues of the games. Unfortunately Argentina won't play anywhere close to my city until semis (should they reach them), so I'll try to get tickets for ISR vs COL or ENG vs URU instead.

U20 world cup draw Group A Group B Group C Group D Group E Group F

FIFA confirmed will host U20 World Cup.

Julia Ituma, volleyball player from Italy. Apparently suicide. She was 18.

Hone what skills? Smashing a chair on someone's head? C'mon it's just choreography

Yes, but "finish top 4 of world series" is an objective criteria, being "too competitive" isn't. Where's that competitiveness line drawn exactly? 6th in the world? 8th? 10th? 12th? Their women's team would have legitimate reasons to complain if the decision to take one continental quota but not the other is purely discretional. I'd guess there is an established secondary criteria but so far no official word about it (unless I missed something?). Men's team failing to secure a world series quota is a first time after all.

Why would South Africa take the african quota in the men's competition but skip the women's?

It's not that, I think I've mentioned this a few times in the past: the wind was light during all week and they are exceptionally good with stronger winds. The british said so in the winners interview after the regatta.

Another team event -that in truth is only an addition of individual performances- so the powerhouses can keep piling up the medals. Cool.

Singapore stage cup quarterfinals: v v v v NZ will qualify for Paris tomorrow if they finish this tournament ahead of either Australia or Samoa.

Todo lo que mencionas es posible pero improbable, por eso no lo consigne en la proyección. Y ahora supongo que si metemos 2 en natación es mucho...

Che, estaba tratando de hacer una lista de posibles clasificaciones para Paris y posta que el cuadro es deprimente... si no metemos al fútbol y/o al handball no veo forma de que lleguemos a 130 siquiera, lo cual sería el número más bajo desde Barcelona. Coincidentemente el último juego en el que sufriamos los efectos de una hiperinflación.... Y eso que intenté ser optimista en algunos deportes, como en los primeros dos: Atletismo - 5 (martillo?, bala?, Maraton?, F. Bruno?) Natación - 5 (quienes? Dios sabrá) Boxeo - 2 (NN, NN) Canotaje - 3 (Vernice, Rojas/sprint, Rossi/slalom) Ciclismo - 5 (Molina o Torres, Torres Gil, Zacarias/bmx, NN/ruta masculino, Apaza/MTB) Equitación - 1 (Salto individual) Esgrima - 2 (Maurice y/o Di Tella P. y/o Di Tella I. y/o Servello) Hockey - 32 Golf - 1 (masculino) Gimnasia - 2 (artistica Magistrati, Jato) Judo - 1 (Gil) Lucha - 1 (Destribats o NN) Pentatlon moderno - 1 (NN) Remo - 2 (doble ligero femenino) Rugby - 12 Vela - 10 (Windsurf x2, ILCA x2, 470, 49er FX, Nacra) Tiro - 2 (Russo o Gutierrez, Gil) Skate - 1 (Iglesias o NN/street masculino) Tenis de mesa - 1 (Cifuentes o Lorenzo/masculino individual) Taekwondo - 1 (Guzman o NN) Tenis - 6 (4 singles, 2 dobles masculinos) Voley - 12 masculino Voley beach - 2 (m o f) Total: 110 Si me comí a alguien que seguro o muy probable clasifica, haganmelo saber.

It looks like Ajalla flopped in the BB, bit disappointed with that, not gonna lie. But overall good.

I think "team sport" applies to anything that has to be called by the name of the country in the official competition document of the event. Like, it applies to team fencing but not to tennis doubles (since a country can have more than one pair in the event you can't call both "Russia", they use the names of the athletes instead).

What does it have to do with then?
