women’s 8 make it to the Olympics! What an amazing tradition they have in this event

M4x qualify!

They only have a camera at start and at 1500m mark.

made it in W1x

Yesss!!!! W4 are going to the Olympics

Thanks for the reply. I think it's a tough ask but not completely out of the question. Hopefully she will continue until Paris 2024 and finally make it to the Olympics.

Do you know how far down the women's ranking is Sive Brassil? Just wondering is there a chance for her to qualify via a reallocation? Edit: Ok, I think there is no chance of her getting a reallocated quota, so unless she wins a qualification spot at the World Championships then she won't make it.

What about Kyron McMaster of the British Virgin Islands? He had a chance of a medal in the men’s 400m hurdles.

W4 safely into the final

Same for me. I’m relying on the live blog mostly just to get the results.

If you ever did host an edition together I sincerely hope it is branded as Czechoslovakia

The other thing I will put to a vote is about allowing more than one nation to host a single edition, i.e. the option to co-host. It is something @intoronto wanted us to discuss and it would be useful to gather the views of everyone on this. It can be teased out further to determine what co-hosting means (2 nations, more than 2), should there be some sort of geographic or cultural link between co-hosts, or should it matter? Let's discuss

@Olympian1010 to address your issue of nations not making it into the combined top 12 despite receiving votes from all members of that jury, this is what the opt-in would be: Opt-in: Any nation(s) which received points from both national jury members but did not make it into the combined top 12 will automatically be added to the final combined top 12 of that national jury. This will be achieved by removing the lowest ranked nation(s) in the combined top 12 which received points from just 1 jury member. The removed nation(s) will then become the highest ranking reserves. Your second issue about wanting to scrap random draws within your national jury, how did you want that to happen? What are the logistics of doing so?

I’ll create the polls this weekend

Oliver Dingley did it! 2 divers qualified for the Olympics. Amazing

Wow! Fantastic start to the day waking up to the news that Tanya Watson has qualified for the Olympics

From the depths of hell never mind the gates

YESSSSSS!!!! Tokyo here we come!!!

Good effort but not near as good. However, more nations need to get onboard with more interesting singlets like those 2 nations.

I love Ghana's strip

W 4x100m to Tokyo !!!

We actually have a very encouraging young generation of young female sprinters breaking through now.... just haven't got together much for relays.

Damn if we could have got our A team here we would likely have got a place at the Olympics. I guess most teams can say the same though.

Let's hope for a Steven Bradbury moment here

Current fastest losers W 4x100m: Japan 44.17 secs Ghana 44.85 secs
