    No way. It's clearly stated that unused tripartite quotas go to the highest ranked eligible fencers.

    After yet another Olympic cycle, where we couldn't get an athlete quota in this sport, the reserve plan has been activated.
     
    The first ever woman Olympic medalist for  Kimia Alizadeh is going to get a Bulgarian passport in the coming days. The quota she earned at the European Qualifier as an EOR will be changed to a Bulgarian one and we will have our first ever "official" participation in taekwondo.

    With gold for a guy born in 2010. Fantastic, that's two years after I left school....now I am really starting to feel old as well.

    I emailed Boxing Canada, Cavanaugh has retired already at only 23 years old.
     
    Not exactly confirmed, but I believe Barriere is switching back to pro boxing, I see Instagram stories of him training still.

    Ya I would definitively *hate* this...
     
    Fencing has really great team events. I would hate to see it change. It's also an extremely fun event to actually contest as an amateur (I did a little bit of fencing in university)
     
    Having two fencer teams or, god forbid, a mixed weapon team event would not be good at all.

    Actually a much weirder story than that!  Cipulis  crashed on the second run, which would have cost him 2nd Place in the World Cup but……his crash damaged the track which was eventually decided to be too dangerous to race, so his crash didn’t count!

    Incredible win by Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps in the pairs event! Really didn't expect Canada to win a world title this year, at 40(!) I believe Stellato-Dudek is now the oldest ever world champion. Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps both had very long career, it's incredible to see them achieve a world title after so much time.

    Pairs, not ice dance :P
     
    I don't have a lot of hope they will keep progressing given their age tbh. But the fact they won a world championship this late in their career is incredibly impressive.

    Oldest female world champion, definitely.  I think there were some older men, pre-WW2.

    They did a brilliant free skate and both the crowd and the world feed commentators were going wild.

    It does seem like the Brisbane games aren't in any real risk of being cancelled, but the big project (rebuilding the Gabba) seems less and less likely to happen.

    The way Agenda 2020(+5) awards the games is a big mistake. The complete lack of transparancy and awarding the games this far (11 years!) in advance seems bound to create issues.
