    I guess I’m arguing that why would you change it to another system that has flaws? If the idea is to get the “best team” or most likely to win medals, I don’t see see this as solving that. If they can find the perfect system, great, but whatever they choose will have its issues so I don’t see any sense in them changing it

    But who decides period X? What if someone has a great time early in the window, but is completely out of form by the end? There are holes to be picked in whatever format is chosen

    Well that’s my point…

    Are we including the pre- opening ceremony days?

    The original article said Shannon Sweeney. Presume Gracenote said the event and Ian O’Riordan looked up the wrong boxer

    Jake Passmore officially announced

    Team Ireland has officially announced Jake Passmore for the 3m springboard event. He was waiting for a re-allocated spot in diving for the 3rd Olympics in a row

    I still expect the cream to rise but the world championships have teams of 7/8 to chase the early breaks and set up the leaders If a break gets away with Stuyven, Hayter, Lozkano and Mohoric (for example), it could stay away as the four big nations there will all fancy a medal

    Having such small teams means it will be a very hard race to control. Could be any kind of medalists tbh

    I’m done! We’ll see who turns up in Paris

    The Dutch sprinters are back in

    Should be yeah. I could see Eddie Dunbar chosen with Healy too.

    Just don’t check first thing in the morning

    Exactly.

    The men’s squad has been announced Remco Evenepoel (RR/TT) Wout van Aert (RR/TT) Jasper Stuyven (RR) Tiesj Benoot (RR) Too hard for Philipsen is the belief

    While it was definitely a fluke, they’re right in saying for pretty much every other country in the world she’d be at the Olympics. Just on her 2024 SB she’d be a likely finalist

    Because they don’t really have much option once they decide to have seeds. The world championships were missed by a lot of countries. As were Euro champs. And once they established the pacific qualifying route, they had to acknowledge it Boxing seeding has always been rubbish and some fighters have always had easier routes to a medal than others. Every non-seed will want to be on the side of the Aussies now but there’s still so much luck involved with the draw

    NOCs have to confirm their entrants but that’s the final list of qualifiers

    And it wouldn’t just be a disgruntled athlete, it would be adidas v Nike etc

    Yes. She's 50th on the IGF ranking https://www.igfgolf.org/olympic-golf-ranking/womens-olympic-golf-ranking

    It’s cruel for sure, but there’s too many good US athletes for most events and there will always be accusations of bias if they do it any other way
  22. dodge
    Absolutely. Has to be a contender

    Natalia's time is significantly below theirs too. All medalists will run under 49s to win a medal in Paris and I don't think any of the American women can (at the moment) Medals should go to 3 of (barring injury) I'm also starting to worry about the cheat representing coming back into "form"
  24. dodge
    No, there can only be a maximum of 2 per unqualified nation (one manm one woman). That list have several names for some country but only one of them will get the spot
  25. dodge
    FWIW this time hasn't been ratified by World Athletics yet (ie it isn't list on the Road to Paris section or any toplists). There's been some question marks about timing at the African championships
