It'll be interesting to see where she ends up. If things go well, she should break into the individual top 10 by the end of this championship. Top 5 should be manageable barring an early career ending injury. Breaking into the top 3 will be tough, but also possible.

Very happy for Harvey

It likely means at least one of 4x, 4-, or 8+ will have three consecutive days of competition or perhaps we'll have just a heat and final.

Since we're still waiting for the qualification documents for almost all sports (hopefully they will be released during their general meeting in August), here's an overview of the quotas available at the Pan American Junior Games. The first set of quotas are awarded to the gold medalists of the following events. These are tied to the athlete by name. Should their respective NOC decline the quota or the athlete is selected from a different quota, then the quota is lost and will not be reallocated to the silver medalist. Archery - M&W Individual Recurve, M&W Individual Compound Athletics - All individual events (38 total) Badminton - M&W Singles Canoeing - M K1 1000m, W K1 500m, M C1 1000m, W C1 200m Cycling - M&W BMX Freestyle, M&W BMX Race, M&W Cross-Country, M&W Road Race, M&W Time Trial, M&W Individual Sprint, M&W Keirin, M&W Omnium Diving - M&W 1m Springboard, M&W 3m Springboard, M&W Platform Fencing - M&W Individual Epee, M&W Individual Foil, M&W Individual Sabre Golf - M&W Individual Gymnastics - M&W Artistic Individual All-Around, W Rhythmic Individual All-Around, M&W Individual Trampoline Judo - M -60kg, -66kg, -73kg, -81kg, -90kg, 100kg, and +100kg, W -48kg, -52kg, -57kg, -63kg, -70kg, -78kg, and +78kg Karate - M -60kg, -67kg, -75kg, -84kg, and +84kg, W -50kg, -55kg, -61kg, -68kg, and +68kg Rowing - M&W Single Sculls Sailing - M ILCA 7, W ILCA 6, M&W iQFoil, M&W Formula Kite Shooting - M&W 10m Air Rifle, M&W 10m Air Pistol, M&W Trap, M&W Skeet Skating - M&W Artistic Freestyle, M&W 200m Time Trial, M&W 500m+Distance, M&W 1000m Sprint, M&W 10,000m Elimination, M&W Street Skateboarding Squash - M&W Individual Swimming - All individual events, including open water swimming (30 total) Table Tennis - M&W Singles Taekwondo - M -58kg, -68kg, -80kg, and +80kg, W -49kg, -57kg, -67kg, and +67kg, M&W Individual Poomsae Tennis - M&W Singles Triathlon - M&W Individual Water Skiing - M&W Trick, M&W Slalom, M&W Jumps, M&W Overall, M&W Wakeboard Weightlifting - All individual events (10 total) Wrestling - M Freestyle -57kg, -65kg, -74kg, -86kg, -97kg, and -125kg, M Greco-Roman -60kg, -67kg, -77kg, -87kg, -97kg, and -130kg, W Freestyle -50kg, -53kg, -57kg, -62kg, -68kg, and -76kg The second set of quotas are awarded to the gold medalists of the following events. These are given to the NOC where they may select athletes not from the gold medal winning team. If the quota is declined by the NOC, it will not be reallocated to the silver medalist. Field Hockey - M&W Tournament Handball - M&W Tournament Rugby Sevens - M&W Tournament In volleyball, things are a bit different, the quotas in M&W Beach Volleyball and M&W Indoor Volleyball will be given to the highest ranked teams in CSV and NORCECA. Funny enough, the gold medalists of 3x3 basketball would have qualified, but the sport has been dropped.

Good swim by Ekk. Looking forward to his future

Not a good day at the Pan American Cup. The men lost to Chile 2-0 while the women lost to Argentina 4-0. This is also a qualifier to the 2027 Pan American Games. The highest ranked North American nation qualifies

Does anyone know how the high diving scoring works? The six scores don't add up to the final score.

Yeah, FIFA hasn't allocated the quotas since it is so early. 2 spots for South America makes sense. Maybe third place goes to an intercontinental tournament.

Semifinals v v

She had a poor third dive. Hopefully, she can hold steady and win our first medal of these championships.

So early... In the past, the South American women's quotas were decided before the two-year window as the first direct qualifying event, but it was only by a few months, not by over a year

I also feel Great Britain had a bad day against Japan (unless you think Japan is better than Spain).

Istanbul as a compromise?

I still think India will take it.

Great Britain isn't that far off from the likes of New Zealand, Japan or even China. I can see them closing the gap with just a little bit of investment. Of course, if Russia returns then things get a bit tougher.

Yeah, getting India more excited about the Olympics is a priority of the IOC. I'm more upset that they are still trying to force 6-team tournaments, when they should just make it 12 teams, especially since the optional sports aren't taking away athlete quotas from the core sports. One of the more intriguing part of cricket was the potential of nations which typically don't compete in team sports competing. Yet we could very well have a tournament involving . Even increasing it to 8 teams allows South Asian or West Indies nations to compete

Sad to see that generation retiring. They may not have become superstars, but they were instrumental in lifting tennis up in Canada.

At 6 teams, they should really forget about continental representation or at the very least require only three continents to be represented rather than all 5.

What a match between Serbia and Slovenia. Lead changes galore. Even at the end it looked like Slovenia would take the 5th set before Serbia tied it 14-14. It wasn't enough as Slovenia wins the 5th 17-15 to take the final spot in the quarterfinals. / / / /

Slovenia just needs to win, if not Iran will qualify

Unsurprisingly, qualified overnight. Cuba and Ukraine lost their respective matches, with the latter being eliminated. This leaves the door open for Bulgaria, Iran and Slovenia to qualify. Here's how the scenarios play out. 3-0 3-1 3-2 3-2 3-1 3-0 3-0 3-1 3-2 3-2 3-1 3-0

Going into the final day, 5/8 spots to the quarterfinals are sealed. The last three spots will be decided between 8 teams. Of the final 9 games, six of them have at least one team trying to qualify while two more have seeding implications. The only truly "dead rubber" match is Argentina vs. Turkey.

Not looking good for There might be a chance where the host nation for the final might also be relegated. (It'd take a big > upset for it to happen though)

So besides winning against and (preferably 3-0 or 3-1) our path to the quarters involve: > > > > (Germany winning 3-2 is fine) The above I feel are likely to happen, after that it gets tricky. I believe we need 3/4 below matches to occur for us to qualify. > > > >

Yeah, I don't see Netherlands beating Italy so they need to win against Canada
