    Sure, let's reject a quota that gives us the chance to participate in three events in shooting, a sport where surprises never happen. (given that I find despicable to reject any quota, none of our athletes are hopeless amateurs and the added cost is irrelevant )

    south of Switzerland

    nah, a medal at the Olympics is easier to win. Difficult but still possible in women's sabre. And in men's epee 75% of the field can win it, seeding is not that important as in other weapons

    Looks like they're quitting soon anyway

    To each their own, let's not treat these Albanians as criminals for their preferences. I also do it tbh, just be a little bit more careful next time when snapping, so that you don't create so many little pieces.
  6. Faramir
    Only Italy can still snatch the second women's quota from Indonesia. But beating both Japan in the quarterfinals and then likely Korea in the semifinals seems quite unrealistic. Edit: not only, see below
  7. Faramir
    India certainly qualified now since only ESP and ITA are still in. For the second quota, Indonesia way ahead - with ESP needing gold and ITA needing at least silver to catch them.

    What's the King of Pool?

    3 Italian medals in men's sabre and 1 in women's foil. A few hours ago you'd have needed to be under the influence of heavy drugs to say this sentence.

    Thibus abandoned for injury, at this point she'll either miss the Olympics (as she should ) or face a top (likely top4) fencer already in the round of 32

    On paper the 3rd place teams from pools A and B should advance, given a guaranteed 3-0 against FRA/KEN, but waiting for the schedule...if the lastpool C matches are played last, things might change.
  12. Faramir
    Pool A Pool B Pool C

    It's not official, in every news article the list of nominated athletes in all sports so far is also updated and divers aren't named yet: https://parigi2024.coni.it/it/news/continental-tour-gold-jacobs-ed-ali-fanno-la-storia-nei-100-metri-e-conquistano-i-pass-individuali-per-parigi-2024.html But Tocci-Marsaglia and Pellacani-Bertocchi in both individual and synchro should be safe, the only doubt is about Larsen
  14. Faramir
    43 years (and 11 months) old Embrich wins the individual title... it might be a record for the European championships.
  15. Faramir
    Goalkeeper up on a corner kick in the first match of the group in a tournament where goal difference is crucial to advance with 3 points...very smart move.
  16. Faramir
    It's not only a tapering problem...It's enough to hold the Euros earlier as usual (usually May in Olympic years, sometimes even earlier), I don't know why they are so late this time, they clash with Olympic selection meets (check the previous page) of top countries. Holding Euros regularly after the Olympics is not a great move for exposure, most people get tired of watching after the big event (+ the football club season starts).

    Posthumous quota What a gallant gesture, Mr. Bach
  18. Faramir
    Always happens with exotic countries. At least they didn't write that he was a medal favorite.
  19. Faramir
    Meaning that Group A: Group B: Group C Pot 2: Pot 3: Pot 4: draw on June 19, in Bangkok, Thailand, at 18:00 local time (11:00 GMT)

    Indeed there's not a chance that cricket will grow here outside of the (quite seclusive) Indian-Italian and Pakistani-Italian bubbles, even if they get to the World Cup or whatever. i'd prefer them starting to practice other sports tbh.
  21. Faramir
    Again, let's check women's 62kg and 68kg reallocations for Tokyo 2020. The situation was the same and the rules were the same. They didn't apply the "cascade" reallocation procedure or the outcome would have been different. Of course I'd prefer Chamizo getting the quota, but let's not have wrong expectations, he's almost certainly out.
  22. Faramir
    Yes, they are clear. The only hope for Chamizo was the reallocation of the Belarus quota won at the European tournament. But now we know that there's an eligible guy from Belarus.
  23. Faramir
    Not at all. The rules are the same. This was for Tokyo. I stand by my opinion: AZE is qualified, quota should go to CHN as the highest ranked at the WCh that is not yet qualified (just like USA was qualified so the quota went to ROU).
  24. Faramir
    I get why people think it will be reallocated to Chamizo (WCh quota to AZE and then European quota to ITA), but after reading a bit I think it will simply go to the Chinese, as the highest ranked at the WCh who is not yet qualified. The wording imo is quite clear and the same that was used for 2020(1), where for example the reallocation in women's 62kg went directly to ROU (and not to USA who had later won a PanAmerican quota, and thus the next best PanAm wrestler).
  25. Faramir
    If they (NED) don't qualify for VNL finals, they have some more time to heal and rest for the Olympics.
