Why chess?

Mark English out of the men's 800 due to illness. Would have been a medal contender

Two questions. 1 - What the chances either Canadian team gets relegated to the B division? 2 - Canada can never have played in the B division at any level in the entire history, right?

The International Boxing Association has opened disciplinary proceedings against five officials, including USA Boxing executive director Mike McAtee, after being accused of "inciting a boycott" of the Women's and Men's World Championships.
