One day...

Why does Germany get a medal? It's not like there was an elimination bracket and the losing semi finalists got medals.

Nothing has been released. Typically Copa America is held two years before the Olympics, so it was fine. Three years is a bit much. I don't think the IOC will accept that.

What a tale of two halves. Greece vs. France was 8-7 at the half. However the second half went 15-2 thus Greece won 23-9

Preliminary Round is over... Championship Bracket vs. / vs. / vs. / vs. / 13th Place Bracket vs. vs.

Brazil continues its winning streak over Canada.

We didn't participate in the qualifying tournament (at the time it wasn't the qualifying tournament, but was retroactively added)

I'd still have Italy as the favourite against China. It's definitely the strongest match-up of the playoffs.

I wouldn't mind an accuracy competition. They could have a large target and have the balls soaked in paint

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll go to 3 weeks any time soon. They'd rather continue to jam pack the day with more content.

Here are the major differences (not including the new sports or the removal of breaking). Moved from Week 1 to Week 2 Archery BMX Freestyle Swimming Tennis Moved from Week 2 to Week 1 Modern Pentathlon Expanded from Week 2 to both Weeks 1 & 2 Athletics (most events were moved from Week 2 to Week 1) Shrunk from both Weeks 1 & 2 to Week 1 Water Polo

Seven team sports along with canoe slalom will start before the opening ceremony

The way it was written made it sound like that, but now that I've read the actual rules, the logical thing is correct (they even clarified it so I think a bunch of nations asked about it). The team that is relegated is not considered for promotion for next year's Nations League. c. The best team in the World Ranking as of the end of the VNL edition and that did not participate in the VNL will be promoted to the next edition. For the avoidance of doubt, the relegated team will not qualify as the promoted team.

I think we need to win 2 set against or to guarantee to avoid getting relegated. If not then we need to hope beats Though even if we fail completely we should still return via World Rankings, as it is doubtful Ukraine/Argentina will surpass us.

What's with Group C: Not complaining, though Brazil has won against us the last few times.

You can for 2022, but 2024 was greed

Hopefully it returning back to every 2 years will revert it back to its prestige.

Yeah with Russia being banned and Canada not competing, it was quite possible we would have a situation where a weaker nation could sneak into the quarterfinals. With the Olympic field expanding to 12 nations I feel there might be an opportunity for these nations to get more funding. Even if Russia returns and South Africa takes the African quota there's still an open spot for the likes of to qualify (we could probably add with decent chances to qualify)

led at the half 6-4. Italy took over in the second half to win 14-9

She embodies the true Canadian spirit.

Huge upset. Italy is in a great position to qualify to the World Cup. Nice to see another viable nation in the sport

The Men's Softball World Cup starts tomorrow if anyone is from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The annual Women's Canada Cup also started today in Surrey, British Columbia

Yeah, huge missed opportunity for the women. Qualifying to the Olympics will be simple enough (larger field plus United States will get the host quota), but they are losing out in practicing in a championship environment.

What is this scale? 5/7 colours are unused.

I'd like to think the head coach isn't dumb, especially since we likely won't be favoured to win a medal.
