  1. The drug was only placed on the watch list in 2015 and she’s been taking the drug for over a decade for a condition which she has. Did she or her coach know it could enhance her performance? We may never know, but I feel it was more of an added benefit than the primary reason as to why she took it. Regardless she should be punished now that it is a banned substance. Just like in law you can’t claim ignorance and hope to get out of it.
  2. I think results should be posted, but not as a mandatory thing. So basically they're posted because people want to, not because the admins have to.
  3. There's no specific date, but the first ones will probably be awarded in April. As for shooting the tripartite is quite simple. Right now there are 20 tripartite nations with MQS fighting for 24 spots. The main question is whether or not the nation applied for one.
  4. Thanks, IAAF doesn't post "almost qualified" times for marathons anymore so it is hard to find them.
  5. I guess it depends on your definition of sport. Is poker or chess a sport? Does a sport need to be physical to be considered a sport? What about shooting? There isn't much of an argument that you could make for shooting that doesn't apply to the others listed above.
  6. It doesn't help that they give continental and host quotas to an 8 entrant event.
  7. Yes, they only qualified three athletes at the world champs and only qualified a total of four here. In fact Canada and Venezuela currently have as many total qualified wrestlers as the United States
  8. Strong day for Venezuela. Cuba is now qualified in 5/6 greco-roman events
  9. While the progression of Germany's team has been good they will probably miss the tournament. Canada and Samoa will be the big favourites with the European teams, Hong Kong, Tonga and Zimbabwe providing good competition.
  10. Shouldn't Canada have qualified in the women's Omnium?
  11. Colombia can send two athletes if they want
  12. Overall this has been a poor showing for the America continent, especially in the men events. Only Venezuela qualified in a men's team event while Canada and United States only qualified in the women's team events. Colombia was entirely shut out as all of the nations have to rely on individual quotas in order to have a decent size team.
  13. Pretty much. The Netherlands has qualified three female quotas in track cycling. They could add a fourth athlete by adding someone from a different cycling discipline to the track team.
  14. No, Netherlands have been given two athlete quotas in team sprint. The only way for all three to participate is by having one of them compete in the Omnium.
  15. Kenya just upset New Zealand in the final group game.
  16. Yeah Greco-Roman is non-existent in Canada. Apparently 4/6 GR wrestlers are from Fredericton, New Brunswick. Maybe it's popular over there.
  17. I was hoping for a spot in the -97kg. It didn't help that US and Cuba did poorly at the world champs.
  18. Not a great day for Canada, just one wrestler. Qualifying at one of the final qualification tournaments will be hard. Cuba on the other hand has recovered nicely after not qualifying any freestyle wrestlers during the world champs. They already have four with a potential for one more.
  19. That's because Brazil took the Pan America quota for being the host nation. Canada will likely miss the Olympics unless they have a great performance tomorrow to finish above Italy.
  20. I'm a big fan of the Vanuatu team. I hope they can reach the Olympics, but unless they get a couple of great results it looks like they will finish just outside of a spot. The continental cup will be their best chance though they'll have to get past Australia and China.
  21. After the technical routine both Ukraine and Japan look safe. Italy is currently in third place with Canada and Spain behind about 0.5 and 0.8 behind respectively.
  22. Very nice for Canada, hopefully we can get a couple of men either in this tournament or the final tournaments.
