has qualified a full team of 18! Men’s singles qualifiers: Alternates: Qualification summary for men’s singles: 3 entries: 2 entries: 1 entry:

and both grab a second men’s single quota, with the last group pending. If or slip up are in line for a quota in that order. The Turkish skaters finished almost tied, with the skater who is eligible to won a quota 0.06 points behind the skater who is trying to win a quota.

I hadn’t considered that. is solidly ranked in the top 10 by points so as long as they qualify in ice dance they are almost guaranteed a spot in the team event.

By my quick calculation exactly ten teams are currently eligible for the team event, assuming the results from the short program / rhythm dance hold: In this scenario there are enough additional quotas (5) to ensure every team can have a competitor in every discipline - Germany would get an extra man, Italy an extra woman and Ukraine an extra pair. and are both one position away (in dance and pairs, respectively) from gaining eligibility, but given there are only five extra quotas this time around (down from 10 in 2018) that could cause a team to compete in only three disciplines. is basically guaranteed to fail to qualify for the team event.

It would be nice if we could collectively agree on whether Biden has already eliminated all American borders or if he‘s the most anti-immigration president ever.

As it stands will fail to qualify for the team event.

Olympic gold medalist Adam van Koeverden easily got re-elected as MP for Milton. Oh and Justin Trudeau got re-elected so I guess that means Canada won’t boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics, which I’m sure will disappoint a couple users here.

Beijing is going to be on par w/ SLC and Sochi there IMO. (For all the issues w/ Sochi their figure skating / short track venue and their primary ice hockey venue were gorgeous)

That’s entirely dependent on who gives the shots. There is no national database.

For the only sport that matters (moguls) SLC’s venue remains the greatest of all times :P (I am much more excited for Milan’s venues tbh, Olympic biathlon in Antholz is gonna be nuts)

What's frustrating is that we have vaccines available *everywhere* for free. You don't even need to book an appointment, you just show up and they stick a needle in your arm.

Most state governments (where most of the police and public health powers lie) are doing basically nothing. Certainly the case where I live (Texas). Most people are masking indoors again, but I live in a big city and that's definitively not the case across the state. Between the third and fourth waves there was virtually no masking at all anywhere (I also visited Florida in that period and there was essentially no mask in sight).

I mean I remember Europeans clutching their pearls over seal hunting in Canada because it looks gory so...

I mean it's France, I get worried when there aren't riots.

This but unironically (though I would prefer a format with 2 men and 2 women to the current 1/1 format).

Raducanu is quite clearly the better player, at least today. I hope this is something that Fernandez can learn from, and not an experience that demolishes her mentally or exposes her game in a way that she can't recover from (like happened with Bouchard).

The IJF has suspended Fethi Nourine and his coach for ten years due to withdrawing from the Olympics to avoid fighting an Israeli judoka.

Wild that Fernandez, someone completely unknown outside of Canada and of people who follow tennis pretty closely, made the US open finals... as the highest ranked player left.

Would be incredible if this is the start of a decade long rivalry. It's WTA so I doubt it xD

It would have been a real surprise if she chose to represent Canada, ya. Either way she’s very much a product of the British system.

Imagine how insane Canadian fans would be going right now if Raducanu had decided to represent Canada.

Fernandez just keeps doing it. Wow. And she may very well be the oldest finalist xD

Listed under challenged: "Ski racing is Eurocentric". ...ya one look at the calendar shows they have a point. It looks like one of their objective is to team up with their US counterparts to have more Alpine events hosted in North America.

Nope, IIRC it's her strength and conditioning coach.
