    Would be quite funny if the ROT had both refugees *from* Iran and refugees *to* Iran :P

    Changing the qualification rules *after* the competition was held? That seems like a bit of a joke.

    I think was extremely lucky that their first game was against . Canada played a terrible game and was barely able to escape with a win because Spain was, well, not very good. Canada has been a lot better since then, and looked quite good against Hungary in particular, but it could very easily have been a huge blunder to start.

    I mean the whole thing has been sort of a joke from top to bottom anyway, pandemic or not. I will say that given the results we have seen at the qualifiers that have been held the BTF’s world ranking is, to be charitable, bad.

    remain undefeated, now at 3-0, in group A. and are 2-1, and are 1-2 while are 3-0.

    At the very least it's something that should be addressed going forward - Tennis for example allows players who went on pregnancy leave to enter tournaments (including the Olympics) based on their previous ranking. If you are going to have a world ranking that is used as the main / only way to qualify for major events it really has to be able to take things like injuries and pregnancy leave into account.

    It really begs the question of why they aren't holding the games in Greater Poland :P

    To me this really highlight how good of a job South Korea did getting their team ready for 2018.

    If Dick Pound says it then it’s safe for me to book my vacation time.

    The worlds in Kigali would be great.

    has the last quota.

    bailed out , who is now qualified after a terrible 1-5 start.

    I was being sarcastic - it makes no sense for Russia to help a Romanian dope.
  14. NearPup
    You mean the Russian government isn’t facilitating the doping of Russian-born Romanian athletes? :O

    Women’s wrestling in Canada is in a pretty rough spot right now.

    Ya that kid was pretty good.

    Fun fact: Omar Salim's father, Gergely Salim, competed for Denmark at the 1992 Olympics (in the Taekwondo demonstration event). Omar is also an American citizen.

    Wrestling needs more showcase for it’s stars. Flo Wrestling organized basically pro-boxing style cards during the pandemic (for lack of other things to broadcast). That kind of model may be worth considering between major tournaments as a way of attracting eyeballs. Wrestling needs more opportunities for it’s stars to fight each other in a way that can attract eyeballs.

    This is a disgraceful decision by the NHL.

    Why have any qualification event at all, lets just pick random people to compete in each event. Much more equitable that way.

    Some small consolation prize.

    By millimetres. That was a close one.

    Not a surprise, and not a surprise that this is the sport and weight class where this happens. This will be a big story in the US given that trans women competing in sports is apparently the most important political issue of the decade in America. Nevermind the pandemic.

    The IWF and the Boxing taskforce are competing to see who can run the worst qualification system. Every time I think one of them does something so stupid that they can’t be topped, they get topped.

    Against a three woman German team…
