Epic Failure got a reaction from Dnl in Mountain Bike Cycling Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
Yeah, I'd seen that as well. If I got a pound/euro/dollar for every incorrect piece of sporting info on wiki....I'd have several more pounds/euros/dollars than I do now!

I'm not sure that is correct.
Firstly I don't think the UCI have updated the rankings this week to show the final situation. So the calculations below are using last week's rankings (updated 20th May). I think some of the positions might have changed (ie I think have snuck into the top 8).
Secondly, I think you are using the general national rankings, which are not the same as the Olympic qualifcation rankings. I've linked what I believe are the correct rankings below to each category.
But using last week's rankings right now, I believe the following is accurate:
Men - https://dataride.uci.ch/iframe/RankingDetails/220?disciplineId=7&groupId=136&momentId=179458&disciplineSeasonId=431&rankingTypeId=3&categoryId=22&raceTypeId=0
Top 8 (2 spots) - , , , , , , ,
9-19 (1 spot) - , , , , , , , , , ,
African spot -
Pan American spot -
Asian spot -
WC spots - ,
U23 spots - ,
host spot -
That's because I believe from the qualification doc - https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/Olympic-Games/Paris-2024/Paris2024-QS-UCI-MountainBike.pdf - that the spots get reassigned to previously unqualified NOCs, not a second spot to those who have a spot in rankings already. The spots from specific races go to the first unqualified nation in that race. France's host spot goes to the first unqualified nation in the rankings.

I think I'm right (again, allowing for any changes in the rankings this weekend). But I wouldn't guarantee it.

Epic Failure reacted to Sub13 in Swimming Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
A few things:
1. Chelsea Hodges just surprise retired following chronic injuries and surgeries. I’m devastated. She’ll always be an Olympic champion though.
2. @NearPup I agree they should aim for 20 swimmers in events with semis. Don’t care if there’s less than 20 if there’s no semis anyway. Could force universality swimmers to only enter events that are low on numbers. That could be fun.
3. NearPup again: Your second point kind of defeats the whole purpose of A and B cuts. This would lead to the strong swimming countries, who already have an advantage, sneaking in extra individual swimmers using relay spots. You would end up with swimmers from smaller countries not being invited while slower swimmers from big swim countries racing individually purely because their country has good relays. I don’t think flooding the heats with extra B cut swimmers who have no chance of medalling is necessarily a positive.

Epic Failure reacted to hckošice in Men's Ice Hockey IIHF World Championship 2024
Yeah, sadly it´s true.
Plus this time you weren´t really lucky I must say, that Austrian fairytale here and Denmark´s imunity thanks hosting next year tournament did not really helped your team neither, however this Norway team was doable so you can still have some regrets from today´s match especially the first period too big respect cost you the top division this time.
Anyway, I am pretty sure you will return very soon back

Joking aside, always the likely result.
We're in that annoying bubble where we're good enough to win promotion but not really good enough to ever stay up.

Epic Failure got a reaction from mpjmcevoy in Team GB at 2024 Olympic Qualifier Series
Men's bouldering for the final just finished. Hamish (or Jumpy-B Hamish as @mpjmcevoy would obviously prefer he be known) finished it in 3rd place in a low scoring round with 43.8 and one top. There were only 5 tops total and only Adam Ondra got more than 1.
Lead in about 30 mins.

The Rankings.
1 place will go here to the highest placed NOC who doesn't already qualify through the rankings, or who hasn't qualified at one of the continental champs/last year's WC.
