Does NBC broadcast any of these meets? They might need to sort by total medals again.

Karlos Nasar gave a press-conference before the Euro. Here are some of the highlights.
 
- He is fully healed now, after the big injury last year. He is hopeful to not have anymore problems before Paris;
- The Doha Grand Prix in December was a great testing ground and the 223 kg CJ World Record reassured him, that everything is ok. He mentioned, that he has lifted 233 in training, but joked, that he hopes it won't come to that for a gold medal. 
 
- He has received numerous offers from other countries. There was speculation, that he would go to Bahrein after the Olympics. Karlos firmly said he is rejecting all such offers and has no intention of switching. Bahrein had indeed made a strong proposition to his coach and said they are trying to make a "dream team".
 
- If weightlifting remains an Olympic sport, he sees another 2-3 OG in him after Paris.
 
- All the constant scandals with the national coach, the Federation, the different clubs has a negative impact on the team. It's getting tiresome to be surrounded by problems and not train normally. The National team is being split in two with some remaining with the still (disgraced) coach Ivan Ivanov, while Karlos and others train with his and other coaches elsewhere. He has no or wants to have any communication with Ivanov until the courts rule on the corruption case. For him the guy should leave as he has brought so much scandals over the years.

The NHL has also announced this. It’s 100% official :D

IIHF just announced the best hockey players will be going to Milan and 2030. 

This is real nonsense. I could make an argument for ROC being first, fourth or disqualified. Makes no sense at all for them to be third.

Torn acl and mcl for Grenier along with a broken shoulder

It’s actually in the rules that athletes who get a relocated medal can request a medal ceremony at the next Olympics. So yes.

Interestingly, CAS cited Russian Anti-Doping Rules, which don't provide any additional protection from consequences for "protected persons," as much of the basis for their ruling. 

What. Just. Happened.
 
Brian Yang is through to the final at the BWF Super 500 Indonesia Open, after defeating World #4  Anthony Ginting 14-21, 21-17, 21-19!
 
He was 9-13 down in set two, and 15-19 (!) down in set three, but fought back brilliantly (that and Ginting was producing a bunch of unforced errors), even pulling out the forehand serve twice near the end. What a moment for Canadian badminton, he’s the first ever Canadian to ever reach a Super 500 (or higher) final! 

As for Ukraine, I can see that our biggest hope for medal in new event is men's K4, because our guys are really close together, they train together, have Instagram account for their squad, so I can see medal can be coming to our country. 

Eliot Grondin wins gold in men’s snowboard cross at the St. Moritz WC, the test event for the 2025 World Championships!
 
Becomes the new WC leader in the process as well. 

Brian Yang just beat World #3 Li Shifeng (21-18, 14-21, 23-21) at the BWF Super 500 Indonesia Masters! 

Also good to see Ireland given the… controversial way in which y’all missed out on 2020.
 
(We’re not sorry about it tho :P )

Of course that South Korea would lose the olympic quota 

Ireland is in the Pro League so will have matches against the top nations which should help with Olympic preparation. What an achievement for this team to make it to the Olympics, they’ve had to completely rebuild in recent years and it all came good at the right time
