Apparently there is a plan that only meets with a WA-label will be elligible for international rankings and qualification for international tournaments. US college meets would be excluded by this. Dutch hurdles talent Matthew Sophia is an example that could possibly miss EC Indoor and EC U23 qualification as a result. Source in Dutch: Anyone else heard about this in international news?

Nice silver medal for Van Lieshout in the girls snowboard big air final, with gold and bronze for . The Brittish girl that had the highest score in qualification got 4th after a failed second jump.

Yeah this is such a frustrating trend in basically every sport. I believe hockey international tournaments used to be on the NOS public channel just a few years ago. Maybe it's on Ziggo Sport this time, but I have 'the other' tv provider, because they're the one covering Eredivisie football weekly. So then if I want just the Ziggo Sport channel it's like € 10,- weekly.

Which one is the 50/50 according to you? I would think Australia, England, Netherlands and Belgium are the four clear favorites, but I haven't seen any matches from this tournament. Hockey world championships used to be broadcasted on national TV I feel like, but there's nothing this year.

Tickets for the Dordrecht world cup in 3 weeks are already sold out. Was thinking of going myself, better luck next time.

I'm getting excited just thinking about possibly picking the sessions I want in less than a month in the pack sales. My travel group is mainly focused on getting tickets for knockout rounds and an athletics session, so we probably have to hope for an early timeslot in the draw. I hope you get all the tickets you wish for! My plan is: 7-Aug: beach volleyball quarterfinals 8-Aug: hockey semifinals 9-Aug: athletics evening session (not available in current pack sale) 10-Aug: possible athletics morning session (also as a backup for when we don't get the 9-Aug ticket later on)

Makes me think of the 400mH record by McLaughlin, but I believe that is 50.60 and not 51.60. Is it a swimming record maybe? 100m freestyle women?

TeamNL representation: Figure skating: Nerea Mur Shorttrack: Sophie Nijboer Pom Straathof Jonas de Jong Nick Endeveld Snowboard alpine: Youri Zorge Snowboard cross: Daan Stam Snowboard freestyle: Sam van Lieshout

I'm glad the world famous freestyle snowboarding community of Gibraltar is represented at the EYOF!

I don't really have a way to watch any games without Viaplay, but at least youtube recommended me the official song so now I'm enjoying some Polish pop music

Most stabby stabs in one game of fencing?

Is it the amount of global medals Michael Phelps has won in his career?

The situation in the Netherlands is exactly the same with the NOS. Their coverage really declined in quality in Tokyo and that's not at all to blame on the NOS and wholly on the ridiculous Discovery deal. Without multi streams on national broadcasters, you're left with a really shallow coverage of only sports where someone from your country is active and everything else is behind a paywall.

Good predictions, probably a bit more realistic than the 286 prediction yeah. I wonder if we're even going to qualify 1 man in mountainbiking, with Vaders injury and Van der Poel being his unpredictable self. For triathlon I feel like there's quite a lot of spots for the mixed relay, so I think 4 could be possible. Although if Rachel Klamer retires before Paris, without her it will be difficult to field a good relay.

New coach for the women's team: https://www.volleybalkrant.nl/nieuws/breaking--nieuwe-bondscoach-volleybaldames-bekend/ Felix Koslowksi, young German coach of SSC Palmsberg Schwerin. Looks like a good candidate from what I can see so far. Qualifying for Paris will be a very rough mission with the current group of players though.

Schulting gold medals: 4/5, final result

Schulting gold medals: 3/5 Real shame about that 1000m race, though Hannah Desmet is a great and deserved winner as well.

Very impressive @Topicmaster1010!! Did you really simulate/predict the qualification for every single event?

Well done by Desmet and Desmet

Schulting gold medals: still 2/5???

And that is correct of course! You've got to get some of the easy ones out of the way before we're climbing the Kilimanjaro again

Good idea, I changed it in my post!

When this thread was posted I was like 'which records do I even remember by head' and this was one of the very few!

I might know this one! The world hour record by Ellen van Dijk is 49km right?
