Still heavy rain, but I think the session will start in time. The stadium is beautiful.

I somehow made it into the stadium.

I am literally under the bridge next to the stadium. The storm is still going strong.

The storm is here. Lots of rain and thunder atm.

Time to find shelter...

2 hour posponement

At Heroes Square atm. Heavy storm expected, race walk is postponed.

Slight chance of rain/storm for tomorrow, and then some pretty high temperatures for the next few days.

Well, this sure is something new. The Hungarian athlete in the 100m prelims will look a bit out of place. But hey, this is one of those very rare sprint races where a Hungarian can actually qualify to the next round.

Startlists are up for the first day.

Nikolett Pádár is also going to ASU, in 2025.

Damn, so close to that medal... Still, this is an unexpected 4th place and quota from Fábián. We might qualify two Hungarians in the end in women's pistol, we still got Major who should win that quota eventually, she was very close to the final today.

Wow, out due to pistol malfunction... Quotas for

And I think that's also a silver for us in the team event. I swear if we fail once again to win that damn pistol quota when our girls are second in the team event...

I think we got 6 athletes and 5 NOCs fighting for the 4 quotas in women's 10m air pistol. 2x

Érdi is still leading the women's dinghy which kinda proves that she should be a medal contender for Paris. I still can't believe how much the Hungarian federation fucked her when they just kind forgot to pay the fee for her Paris Test Event appearance. She missed one of the most important events for her Olympic prep, and if that hurt her chances in any way I will be furious. We rarely get any chances in sailing and the federation is so amateur that they even manage to mess up these rare occasions.

Baku

So these start tomorrow. If I see it correctly, all 12 individual Olympic events will award 4 quotas each here. The 12 individual Olympic events 17.08 Men's 10m Air Pistol Women's 10m Air Pistol 18.08 Women's Skeet 19.08 Men's 10m Air Rifle Men's Skeet Women's 10m Air Rifle 20.08 Women's 25m Pistol Men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions 21.08 Women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions 22.08 Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol 24.08 Women's Trap Men's Trap We (Hungary) should win at least one quota here. We are still far from our target of 4 shooting quotas, we only got one male rifle quota so far. We should win one more male rifle quota, and 1 women's rifle and 1 women's pistol quota eventually.

Trying to make sense of where everything stands for the quotas. I am listing the nations that are currently in qualifying positions and the next 5 nations that are closest to them. Men's Windsurfing (11 boat quotas, 8 out of 20 races complete) || Women's Windsurfing (11 boat quotas, 5 out of 20 races complete) || Men's Kite (8 boat quotas, 8 out of 20 races complete) || Women's Kite (8 boat quotas, 8 out of 20 races complete) || Men's Dinghy (16 boat quotas, 4 out of 10 races complete) || Women's Dinghy (16 boat quotas, 4 out of 10 races complete) || Men's Skiff (10 boat quotas, 12 out of 15 races complete) || Women's Skiff (10 boat quotas, 12 out of 15 races complete) || Mixed Dinghy (8 boat quotas, 8 out of 11 races complete) || Mixed Multihull (9 boat quotas, 12 out of 15 races complete) ||

Apparently 300 thousand tickets have been sold so far. 52.3% of ticket holders are Hungarian, the rest are foreigners. Tickets have been bought in 103 countries. That seems like a lot of foreign spectators. Probably the most for a sport event in Hungary, only the EURO2020 matches can rival with that.

Konstanze Klosterhalfen officially out due to injury. On a more cheerful note, Heroes Square is getting ready for the marathon and race walking events.

I think it's too early to say something definitive about the weather for the second half of the Worlds, but it's safe to say at this point that we can expect some intense heat for the first weekend. There might be around 30 Celsius during the men's 100m final.

Why do you mean about "universality"? An African country, Egypt, has a legit chance winning Olympic and WCh medals, which is something you don't see in many Olympic sports. The promotion sucks, but that's true about a lot of Olympic sports, just look at sailing atm. At the very least pentathlon doesn't require any additional venues, and it will be even cheaper to organize once the hosts won't have to provide horses for an event. I have been watching old Olympic footage recently and I think modern pentathlon improved the most in the past 20-30 years compared to all the Olympic sports. The horse lottery is the worst part about it now and that will be gone after Paris. I don't know what else people expect from this sport, it has evolved so much to make it more watchable.
