's Rumesh Tharanga threw 89.37m yesterday in the men's javelin. Now three South Asian countries have medal contenders in this event. Interesting how that works. 

Ask and you shall receive

Looks like cross-country running will be held at the 2027 Winter University Games. 

Here is the latest version of the visual calendar I made (with help from AI/Python).
 
Features:
Tab 1 - Use Cell A1 to select the sport(s) you want to see and it will appear.  Helpful if you only want certain sports.
Other Tabs - See each day at a glance.
 
Errors?  Thoughts?  Just let me know.
 
 
Edit: This version out of date.  Deleted.  Check new version two posts from now.

And we still dont have the full event programme 

As far as I know she was born in Pombal, Portugal.

I don't think teachers can here either. They are restricted to school holidays only.
 
But in other jobs is not that I can ask for two weeks off. I have to take my 24 work days (mon to friday) off and it's mandatory.

I dont want to take three weeks off work so I hope not 

That doesnt contradict what I posted.
 
The vacancy will be created if ALL of the 2026 Wrld Cup teams are.qualified. For now, Spain in the best placed non qualifier for that events and qualifies for the OQS

Olympic Quali fier Series (OQS), Location TBC, Date TBC

The highest-placed NOC at the OQS in each respective gender will each receive one quota place for the LA28 Olympic Games. 

Eight teams are eligible to participate in the OQS as per the following criteria and the following order, until the total of eight teams is reached : 
 
1. [...]
2. The highest -placed NOC in the standings of the 2026 FIBA 3x3 Champions Cup, if any, not yet qualified for the LA28 Olympic Games.
 
 
 
That should be Spain.

That doesnt contradict what I posted.

defeated  77-64. Africa may have two entrants at the World Cup if things follow as expected.

So proud of this  team. First QF ever at the WBC is a huge accomplissement for this group, and it doesn't even feel like a fluke.

Congrats to the Canadians, but I was lowkey rooting for Cuba

Since this is my favorite Olympic sport, let's try and predict who the qualifiers will be (or at least the NOCs).
 
Boulder: 12 athletes per gender, 2 max per NOC, 1 host quota, 1 universality, quota is to the athlete by name
Lead: Same as Boulder
Speed: 14 athletes per gender, same other restrictions
 
Continental Restrictions (same for each discipline, below is listed per gender):
1 definite from Americas (from PanAm games in 2027)
1 definite from Europe (from European Games in 2027)
1 definite each from Asia, Africa, Oceania (from separate World Climbing Qualifiers in 2027)
 
The others come from the winners of the disciplines at the WCh in 2027, and then the top 4 (B/L) or 6 (S) from the OQS in 2028.
 
Then add host and universality.  (If either of these go unused, then it goes to the next highest from the OQS.
 
One thing I haven't quite understood is what happens if the same athlete wins a quota in, for instance, both Boulder and Lead.  Will it be just that athlete to compete in both, or will the athlete be able to compete in both, and another quota is available to the NOC or the next highest?

How terribly did I do? :)

4 groups of 3 teams
3 games in each group.
Group winners to semi-finals.
Medallists would play 5 games.
Add 3 reserve days for the weather. Average is less than a day of rain in LA in July
All over in 8 days.

Amazing second place from our guys 

Unfortunately, the loser of their direct match will likely play  in the quarters and there's a good chance you need to reach the semis to get the quota. The quotas likely comes down to the winner of  and the winner of a Pool A team () vs.   
 
This is why having Olympic quotas being decided in a tournament with unrelated teams is a horrible idea.

You can follow  as they attempt to qualify from Europe for 2028 T20 World Cup

People in social media are doing tonnes of publicities to buy Spanish products and boycott US onces 

Yeah, getting India more excited about the Olympics is a priority of the IOC.
 
I'm more upset that they are still trying to force 6-team tournaments, when they should just make it 12 teams, especially since the optional sports aren't taking away athlete quotas from the core sports.
 
One of the more intriguing part of cricket was the potential of nations which typically don't compete in team sports competing. Yet we could very well have a tournament involving . Even increasing it to 8 teams allows South Asian or West Indies nations to compete

And their website layout is completely atrocious for PC.
