I wish they’d put flatland (and indoor cycling) in the World Games or something. It’s a pretty established discipline, that’s always kind of been in the background.

Not Biarritz? It sucks

Your boy just got tickets to the men’s archery finals . I also had tickets for the women’s rugby finals and shooting mixed trap finals in my cart. My dad said one day of rugby was enough (he’s just butt hurt because I like it more than his precious American Football). His best response was to the mixed trap, he said “that sounds like a joke, pass” 

Japan is doing a fairly good job in re-routing their host quotas towards unqualified nations.

They’ve just posed they’ll accept applications from outside UK. I’ve never been more excited to spend 5 hours making, editing, and writing a CV and Cover Letter 
 
Cant wait to not be selected or even interviewed. Nothing like the autumn taste of rejection 

I think you are right hahahah Cruzeiro Sempre!  

I'm still slightly annoyed at Mazembe beating Internacional in 2010 and preventing an awesome Inter-Inter final.

I think the only problem with this system was allowing Japan to take a continental quota (granted, nobody would have expected them to take both Men and Women). Other than that it's fine.
 
I'd rather see Malaysia or Pakistan making it than NZ or Canada who aren't much better and have way less potential to develop the sport than what the former have.

I love Raja Casablanca because they have beaten Atletico Mineiro in 2013 and i hate Atletico Mineiro 

Solomon Islands  have retained their Oceania crown and secured their place in next year’s FIFA Futsal World Cup in Lithuania by overcoming a  New Zealand on penalties.
This is the 6th OFC trophy for the "Kurukuru" and will be their 4th appearances at FIFA Futsal  WC

People in your head ?

If this is what the cars will actually look like, I’m excited:
 

the Ariake Gymnastic Centre is completed
 

 

 

 

Much to my surprise, Brazil easily won the women's quota vs Puerto Rico.
 

Nah, just everything that could go wrong, went wrong, and everything that could possibly go right for Pakistan went right. Not today  

Today we had the end of the Portugal's stage in WSL. ítalo Ferreira  and Caroline Marks  won their competitions. Because of that the race for the last quotas and the title go to Hawaii.
 
Up this moment, we have 4 quotas defined at women's competition.
 
Sally Fitzgibbons 
Stephanie Gilmore 
Johanne Defay 
Tatiana Weston-Webb 
 
The last quotas will be given to two American surfers between Caroline Marks, Lakey Peterson and Carissa Moore. Carissa is the favorite to win the crown, the other two women, probably, will fight for the last American quota.
 
Brisa , Silvana  and Paige  are disputing the last two tickets to Tokyo. Paige is the most likely to lose her flight.
 
The men's competition we have other 4 surfers already qualified
 
Kolohe Andino 
Jordy Smith 
Jeremy Flores 
Kanoa Igarashi 
 
There are 6 more quotas available. The dispute for the last American quota promise to be super interesting. Kelly Slater  Seth Moniz  and a possibility that we watch John John Florence  coming back in Pipeline.
 
Michel Bourez  (the favourite) and Joan Duru  wil decide the last French quota.
 
As for Brazil, ítalo Ferreira (the new leader) Gabriel Medina and Filipe Toledo are very close from each other in the leaderboard.
 
Finally, the two Australian quotas are between six surfers. Owen Wright is the first on the line and he has a few more points than the second in it (Julian Wilson). Adrian Buchan, Ryan Callinan, Wade Carmichael and Jack Freestone are still on the race.
 
 
The last stage for women will take place in Maui at the end of November. The men's competition wil be in Pipeline at the beggining of December.

The 2019 Marblympics begin in one month. This year will feature a highly expanded competition that includes new events, teams, and for the first time a comprehensive qualification system.

@dcro Puerto Rico could definitely challenge Brazil on the women’s side. It’s just of matter of who’s better on the day. Puerto Rico has one of the best women’s players in the Western Hemisphere right now.

It´s official !
 
IOC confirmed today that The Marathon and Race Walk events will be in
 

 
 
However a small consolation for the fans of those sports from the Japanese capital is that all medals ceremonies will take place in Tokyo
 

Or they made it invisible as to avoid spoilers

I just don't care much about skateboarding, I have much more attention for your MTB updates

I think we can expect no ranking update until Monday - the World Ranking will be published as it will be on Monday and the Olympic one will be published as it is today. Or maybe they're adding points from races from Tuesday according to the last time zone (GMT -12), no matter if there was any there and the Olympic ranking will be published tomorrow.

Nope

Strong rumors saying will be banned of competing in Tokyo next year and Beijing 2022
