Over.  qualify for Paris

I had some time, and so I looked through the current entries (of course, athletes can still withdraw/DNS from events). There are two athletes who competed in Beijing 2022 before competing at Gangwon 2024.
 
Ski Jumping - Anezka Indrackova  (30th in 2022)
 
Snowboard - Lee Chaeun  (18th in halfpipe 2022)
 
NOTE: I checked the entries against an archived version of the Beijing 2022 results system, so mistakes are possible.

We now have confirmation that the  Trampoline Federation will not accept the IOC conditions and will miss Paris 2024.

I've seen an article that claims he's the first player from Jordan to have any world ranking.

I don't excuse the Israeli government for the evil they have done but I won't pretend Hamas are not evil too

I think the problem here is that the comments came after Hamas had slaughtered hundreds of Israelis and kidnapped hundreds more but before Israel launched their murderous retribution.

no, it's the judge on the track side (because it's the last millimeter of the back wheel crossing the line that counts and the transponder is obviously in another place on the bike)
 
however, the  vs  case last night was a true scandal...
it was clear even at real speed that the Portuguese rider was more than half a wheel ahead 

Well, this ought to be interesting...
 

Also there was no Elinor Barker in the qualification and the possibility of Laura Kenny returning for Paris still exists.

Norn Iron  ie Northern Ireland’s personality is middle distance runner Ciaran Mageean.

I can't confirm this in public for a few days but I have some disappointing news to report about the Olympedia project
