Jennifer Jones is a great person, by all accounts, and for my money the greatest curling player of her generation on the women's side. Really extraordinary career.

Probably still a bit tipsy from all the Champagne. (I really don't know how much the Canadian sprint team cares about the results this week-end now that they all qualified for the Olympics tbh)

will have a full track cycling team!

Can we have a disqualification at some point? This - race is tedious xD

That part isn’t really relevant, Canada was guaranteed to finish above France by virtue of losing to and having a walkover over

Bit of an anti-climax but gets the last women’s team sprint quota after withdraws due to an injury.

He cannot compete in the singles event unless he qualifies in single. If he qualifies from the East Asian qualifier then his athlete quota from mixed doubles gets re-allocated to the singles world ranking. If he qualifies from the singles world ranking then his mixed doubles athlete quota gets re-allocated to the singles world ranking. can qualify up to two men's singles athletes, if they qualify two men's singles athletes and none of them are Wong then Hong Kong simply has two men's singles athletes and a different male athlete in the mixed doubles.

An NOC with a qualified team and a qualified mixed doubles pair must use a member of their team in the mixed doubles. So for example, qualifying in mixed doubles will cause a men's and women's singles quota to be re-allocated. The system seems designed to have most of the mixed doubles athlete quotas get re-allocated to the singles draw, the only scenario where they aren't is when a player only plays in mixed doubles.

It gets re-allocated to the singles world ranking. Mixed doubles field is capped at 16.

No more ties for gold in high jump / pole vault :P (I don't actually think the money difference will matter, but still funny to think this will be a factor now - I'm assuming if there is a tie for gold the prize money will be split)

As I said, it's basically field hockey on skates.

No but seriously, why isn’t the Netherlands a world power in bandy? It’s literally field hockey with skates!

Indonesia is establishing diplomatic ties and normalizing their relationship with Israel. Interesting to see the biggest Muslim majority country do this while Israel is losing a lot of support in the West.

We don't know yet!

has qualified!

I honnestly thought you were kidding. https://www.ihf.info/media-center/news/great-britain-womens-national-team-replace-cameroon-olympic-qualification

leads 2-0 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate, with one half of extra time remaining. They scorred on a penalty awarded after a fairly egregious handball.

I really don't think that's much of a concern right now xD

and are going to extra time (2-2 on aggregate)

The CGF just has to be really happy they found a willing host. It was really, really not looking good.

Not a fan of the passivity warning after the bell? (I honnestly don't know enough about taekwondo officiating to have any clue if it was warranted or not)

Please never stop making predictions :D

Kruz Schembri won the men's foil quota

Mario Doig Calderon won the women's épée quota

Katherine Paredes Torres won the women's sabre quota
