    For US, just more of the same as in 2020 with 0 male scullers.

    Very sad story here. Alexandra Paul age 31 dies in an automobile accident. She competed in ice dance at the 2014 Winter Games. Skate Canada says former Olympic figure skater Alexandra Paul killed in car crash | CBC Sports

    For even years, instead of a WC, why not bring back the Intercalated Games or the Goodwill Games at the least? Well, the standing jumps, Greek stlyle discus throw and freestyle javelin came and went and the sport has managed to stay relevant. So I guess eliminating a few less popular events now won't matter.

    I don’t see North America.

    Price goes into 7th.

    Tom Countney 2 x 🥇🥇 800m and 4x400 m at 1956 Olympics has died. Tom Courtney, Olympic Gold Medalist and Fordham Sports Great, Dies at 90

    He was 3rd according to US TV announcers. (Announcer said the teenager from the Netherlands gets bronze.)

    Andersen out

    Exactly. Which is why Kennedy and Moon are tied for first.

    USA announcers don't understand the rules on total misses at lower heights.

    1976 Olympic Games, same race, 3000 m SC. Frank Baumgartl stumbles over the last barrier and hits the deck, gets up to his feet and finishes third. (He was in second place at the time.)

    Kerley just said on US TV that s*it happens and he f*cked up but he's healthy and life goes on.

    Austria (with 3 world championships), Mexico, Panama, Italy, Canada, and Denmark, looking at recent WC results IFAF Flag Football World Championship - Wikipedia Its basically American football with no tackling or helmets - you stop the play by pulling a velcroed "flag" or strip off the offensive player who is in possession of the football at his/her beltline. At least that's how it was in my school days.

    I think those three are already approved to be on the core LA 2028 program, before we even begin to talk about what added sports there might be.

    43 Gold Medals seems way too optimistic to me, especially with what I’m seeing this week in swimming and water polo. I have not seen the event by event predictions, but when aquatics produces around 1/3 of your gold medals almost every recent Games, I see a big drop in golds next year.

    I don't usually watch morning swim prelims, especially in the distances, but I'm getting ready to watch these two 800 heats.

    I think that's a good idea. It has been suggested on other forums that there should be 3 additional medal ceremonies at Paris 2024: 2022 Team Figure Skating and 2012 M HJ and W 400H.

    Yeah, I misread the FINA site. Thought they were putting "Qualified" below your time, not above it.

    Lydia Jacoby doesn't make it out of the heats. Sorry - She was 14th.

    And if it's added, it may take place in Oklahoma City in 2028. But, as the article states, the World Championships will held in Oklahoma City in 2026. Los Angeles 2028 close to making decision on canoe slalom relocation to Oklahoma (insidethegames.biz)

    Those being the years when the USOC took the US Olympic Festival seriously?

    And as I learned today, because of the improvements that came after Bob Hayes finished his track career, Jim Hines was the only man to break 10 seconds and play in the NFL.

    RIP Jim Hines, 1946-2023, 1968 100m and 4x100m gold medalist. Jim Hines, 1968 Olympic 100m champion and world record-holder, dies - AW (athleticsweekly.com) According to this story, his two gold medals were stolen shortly after the 1968 Games but were returned to him after he placed an advert in a local newspaper. (I had never known that.) But his 100m race was like the second Olympic athletics event (the day after men's 10K) I ever watched on TV.
