UCI has the results up for the women's road race. Looks like it was a sprint finish with 25 riders having the same time as the winner and another 20 being 3 seconds behind. As mentioned before the world rankings (and world championships) will have higher priority so while the United States and Canada currently hold the quotas they will be reallocated. The reallocation priority is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Based on the current rankings, Mexico and Uruguay would get the quotas if they remain the same, but with so many nations on the edge Uruguay is far from guaranteed to get the quota.

They will be reallocated. are pretty much guaranteed to qualify via the world rankings. Looking at the 2022 rankings, (36th), (38th), (42nd), (44th), and (45th) would have been in qualifying positions. (53rd) and (55th) were the next closest nations. So far in 2023, along with the top 4 Pan Am nations, we have (38th), (40th), (41st), (42nd) in qualifying positions while (52nd), (54th), (55th) are the next closest nations. I think Argentina might be Costa Rica, they were 39th last week and then disappeared and were replaced by Costa Rica.

The affects of COVID on sport still lingers. This season does show a stark difference between the top 10 and the rest of the teams. I'm not sure if this will continue or if it's a blip. What doesn't help is reducing game experience for the lower teams or else we turn into cricket where the rich get richer. As I said I'm okay with a robust 2nd division, but I'm not seeing that either.

Dressage Tatui CDI3* Results No new MER results were obtained Dressage Fontainebleau CDI5* Results The following have achieved 2/2 MER result Charlotte Fry (Glamourdale) Juan Antonio Jimenez Cobo (Euclides Mor) Fie Christine Skarsoe (Imperador Dos Cedros) The following have achieved 1/2 MER result Dorothee Schneider (First Romance 2) Skarsoe obtains Luxembourg's first certificate of capability Dressage Hagen CDI4* Results The following have achieved 2/2 MER result Anabel Balkenhol (High Five FRH) Laura Strobel (Valparaiso 2) Anna Zibrandtsen (Quel Filou) Franziska Stieglmaier (Samurai 504) The following have achieved 1/2 MER result Lyndal Oatley (Elvive) Beata Stemler (Fairplay) Evelyn Eger (Tabledance 3) Andrea Timpe (Don Carismo 2)

They will be 12 team tournaments I'm still hoping for a proper 2nd division series, but I know the reason for the contraction is due to costs and a second division series would be held at a loss.

v and v in the men's and women's finals respectively. Good performance by Belgium and Europe in general.

Thanks, forgot about the discard. At least the fight for Olympic quotas will be interesting on the men's side

Waida with an early elimination on the last event before the cut-off. If Kelly Slater or Barron Mamiya win their round of 32 match they will overtake Waida and eliminate him.

Yeah, I don't buy it either. The only way I would be okay with a 12 team top men's division is if they make a proper (as in 6+ events) second division.

Bermuda with a chance at grabbing the men's and/or women's quota after the world ranking quotas have been distributed.

Perhaps it was a typo? There's nothing in the qualification timeline and back in December 2022 both FIFA and CONCACAF released stories which mention the Dominican Republic competing at the Olympics.

Yeah, Pool C is very week. Uganda is the favourite to win the pool, but would probably finish 3rd or 4th in the other pools. I'd love for Tonga to win the series, but with the men's field shrinking to 12 teams, it's unlikely the winner here will survive the play-off. On the women's side, I'd keep an eye on South Africa. While not confirmed I suspect their Olympic chances ride on getting the promotion.

In other sports we award quotas even if we know they won't be used. The quotas belong to Italy (or any other nation) until they have been declined. It's not like these provisional quotas are preventing other athletes/nations from qualifying in the event.
