Awful news, Mader is dead

And the last heat for round 4 is over, both the French relegate in the repechage.
 
For the European Quota, only Israel is still in the main round.

How dare they even test Ukrainian weightlifters? they should be allowed to use whatever they want.
 
time to dismantle IWF and create something new with Sarah Davies (cleanest and nicest weightlifter in history) as president.

Unexpected turn of events for the FIFA U-20 World Cup as Governor of Bali, the expected group location for Israeli team, published a letter rejecting the presence of the team in the island...

First of all:  Amazing organization @Cobi  You've been an excellent and efficient host, plus that walktrough Spanish music at the Opening was amazing. A big round of applause for you

First team mate. Hello @Dnl  fellow eagle de Toledo

Me going to join the nearest cult related to gold apparently 

Personally I think we should only allow cults with human sercrify on here, or else what's the point? In other words, @Sindo, pick up the broom and hammer  
 

All of the events, including the ones that weren't available in the first round. will be up for sale. No restrictions on how many events you can go to, up to maximum of 30 tickets

in the past few weeks, rumors about  Clarisse Agbegnenou switching to  have got stronger and stronger.
 
the reason behind this is, as often happens, about economical aspects.
 
Agbegnenou, in fact, has a personal technical sponsor (Mizuno), meanwhile the French National team is of course under contract with Adidas.
 
now the French Federation wanted Agbegnenou wear Adidas judogi in her comeback appearance after her maternity leave after Tokyo 2020, but the double Olympic champion refused to do it, saying that she hasn't trained enough with that judogi to wear it also in competition.
 
but the French Federation left her without any coach on mat side in Tel Aviv (and she lost 2 of the 4 bouts for the first time since 2017) and threatened to leave her out of the team for the next World Championships and above all, out of the Olympic team.
 
therefore, the great Clarisse, despite her will, has to think about a plan B, which leads to switching to the African Nation her family is from.
 
personally, I think everything will be fixed quite soon and nothing strange is gonna happen, but if it happens...

I don't know why they couldn't do universality quotas for all events, but have it capped like they do for the 800m

Just went to Jakarta Velodrome for the first time, a really nice experience I have to say.
 
Spectators around me mostly have no idea about the events, luckily the announcements in the venue are very helpful for the first-time goers. The excitement was the highest during elimination race of women's omnium and the close races of the men's sprint.
