  1. England Lacrosse claim 18,000 players https://www.statista.com/statistics/934933/lacrosse-participation-uk/ I find that hard to believe though
  2. No way India would risk losing to Pakistan by leaving out their best players
  3. The alternative men's qualification which discounts results that will not be counted by June 2024
  4. Well, I was hopelessly wrong. It was their opponents, Nepal, who set the world record. 314 being 13% higher than in any other of the 2255 games at this level.
  5. This is a very random thing to ask - but how many runs will the Mongolian men's cricket team score against Nepal later today? I could see a world record low score coming up...
  6. Three points. 1 - I owe you a grovelling apology. In my mind Zoe was a world junior champion champion at mountain biking when, of course, she was a champion in cyclo cross 2 - However, I think she could be world class in mountain biking if she put her mind to it, 3 - Disagree, Henderson, as good as she is, is not in the same class as Zoe as a time trialist. Zoe will be a world or Olympic champion in the future. The question is really if that happens in Paris or will she have to wait for LA 2028?
  7. I have serious doubts whether Adam Peaty will be as good as he was in 2016 and 2021. But for I have a good feeling about Zoe Backstedt winning a medal in either the road time trial or the mountain biking.
  8. Joke by one of the Aussie journalists at Sydney 2000 when Rob Waddell won the single sculls. "Typical of New Zealand, the only way they can win gold is by sitting down and going backwards"
  9. I think the men's event could be decided on what happens at the Tour de France. Whether Evanepoel or Ganna take part and whether Pogacar has a hard race or not. Also don't rule out Tarling GBR for a medal. World bronze medalist at 19, which is an age where you can improve huge amounts in a short time.
  10. Confirmed as a fractured eye socket not jaw
  11. France 96 Namibia 0 BUT Antoine Dupont, French captain and best player in the world, has gone to hospital with a suspected concussion and possibly a broken jaw
  12. They couldn't have had an indoor bowl out competition?
  13. This year is the 20th anniversary of losing to 142-0.
  14. OK, I've now read the full ITIA decision on Halep and it really can't be much worse for her. There's a strong suggestion, although it can't be conclusively proved, that she was doping since 2014.
  15. Ruby showed huge potential in her senior international debut back in February.
  16. There's also the game in 1973 where the All Blacks beaten by the team from the small town of Llanelli in Wales Which was immortalized in song above.
  17. Don't underestimate the Samoan team. They got very close to beating the #1 team in the world in their last game.
  18. I spent the first 60 minutes of the match in a pub in Wales. For the first half everybody was enjoying themselves and cheering Argentina on against the old enemy England. In the second half everybody was agreeing that Maradona and Messi were useless and everybody in Wales should pretend to be French for the next month.
  19. We think there was no positive sample, they were destroyed years ago, but documents from 2011 to 2015 proved Russia covered up positive tests from that period. The investigation probably began in 2018 or 2019 so that was within the 8 year limit.
  20. Meanwhile... In another part of the weightlifting there is good news for Russia's Tatiana Kashirina. The good news is she will keep her Olympic medal from 2012. The bad news for her is that she loses 19 other medals from 2013 to 2017. 9 World championship medals (8 gold), 9 European Championship gold medals and a Universiade gold. Must be a world record at medal stripping?
  21. I'll explain why I chose my method. Basically it would mean every country would have three opportunities for Olympic places. If the Olympics were being held this year then in your scenario / would qualify as world champions, and would qualify through the 2022 Asia Cup. There is no Oceania Cup but are higher in the world rankings than so we would have a scenario where India and Australia would play off for one final Olympic place.
