Just GB I think. You only earned a quota if you finished on the podium and the other two already had quotas. The two unallocated quotas will be added to those being drawn from the rankings. If I'm wrong I'm sure Rafa will correct me!

So you could be in a pickle if you draw Branston? 😊
 
Sorry. 🙄

Germany despite being world champions usually are an inconsistent team (their results in pro league as proof). 
 
England/GB are probably the most improved team since Tokyo. Still, Netherlands is likely taking the ticket to Paris.
 
Men's hockey is a toss up right now. The medals next year could go to any of the top 5/6 teams in any order.

Seems very risky if they did this when they only finished two pts clear of the 10th placed athlete.

Surprisingly Clouvel failed to qualify for the final.

I was so happy to see McMaster  get a medal. He’s had such an up and down career.

To be more specific it stays at the same athletics club in Edinburgh.

Yeah, it’s really not a big deal

Another great session of athletics. Main highlight for me was the women's pole vault final, with both Kennedy and Moon over 4.90m. Some great marks outside of that though, with Murto clearing 4.80m for bronze,  and a NR (4.80m) from Sutej to finish in 4th. (Again )
 
Also enjoyed the men's 400m hurdles final, but it's probably because Warholm won, and McMaster finished on the podium

It would have been the final embarrassment for Ingebrigtsen if his father had successfully coached Nordas to beat him.

36 years and Schoenlebe's ER is finally gone

That's a bit unfair when we gave the world Boris Johnson.

Balaton aka central european sea.
 
During storm´s waves should be fine also for surfing

Reminded me of this guy who competed in basketball at the 1964 Games and then by 1976 in Montreal had switched to sailing. Not too many obvious links between these two sports.

Take the consolation that quotas are more important than medals in 2023. 2024 is for medals.

Is this what they mean by Double Dutch? Somewhere a Dutchman must have shot an albatross.

Thought  Douglas would secure a quota, just thought she would do it a little easier... and certainly not with an extremely disappointing 24th  

They've postponed the windsurfing races but appear to be still hoping they might get some of the other races in.

And finally today's bit of useless information. The first woman to win a gold medal at the OG was in sailing in 1900 in an early example of a "mixed event".

I believe the image is of her in her sailing kit.

Matt Walls may also be a factor
