of course I watched the entire Euro but obviously I can't remember every single match.  (just checked the results and see what happened between them)

 

but nah Greco is not like that. it's not like freestyle. it's mostly about one moment, one mistake. age is not in Sahakyan's favor but he has the technic and quality to score big points if the opportunity presents itself

I do not believe this, but it is a nice suprise. (and could be bigger)

He failed before Tokyo - it was big dissapointment for Poland. He end his career and he now is close to OG - sport is funny sometimes.

Judo announced ten judokas for the Paris Games:

 

66kg- Willian Lima

73kg- Daniel Cargnin

81kg- Guilherme Schimidt

90kg- Rafael Macedo

100kg- Leonardo Gonçalves

+100kg- Rafael Silva

 

52kg- Larissa Pimenta

57kg- Rafaela Silva

78kg- Mayra Aguiar

+78kg- Beatriz Souza

 

Cargnin, Macedo, Rafael Silva and Aguiar are back after Tokyo. 4th Olympics for Rafael Silva and Aguiar (who won the bronze medal in each of the three previous Games). Somewhat strange that they announced Rafaela Silva already given how close Jessica Lima was to her in the rankings, but I guess that being an Olympic champion played a big part in this choice.

For me Silva should wait longer, She is not in good shape as Lima.

Judo switches can go through pretty much instantaneously if the federations agree. It was the same situation for Acelya Toprak when she switched from GBR to AZE towards the end of last year. any change would still need to be ratified by the IOC I think but that's unlikely to be a problem.

Poland must ask Japan for a few Judo players. For me, a year should be the minimum. It can be overused. Or set the same for different disciplines.

I say he is the favorite, but Sahakyan at the age of 500 is still dangerous. it won't be walk in the park

It will be walk in the park

You saw last EC in weight over 67?

And any grace period? She represented the Netherlands at the World Championships. In some disciplines you have to wait a minimum of 2 years...

the  federation has given Kim Polling permission to immediately switch to  

 

she's married to Andrea Regis (former player and now IJF official)

 

let's hope that the Italian burocracy doesn't make any damage 

 

she would cover the very important -70kg class for us, which means that we could have a very competitive squad in team event, too

How on earth it is possible to represent Italy in Paris? Some athlete must wait so long - and one weak she was dutch, now she is italian? Crazy

but can she get a minimum while she was competing for another country and transfer to Poland? And her change of nationality needs to be approved on the june (or july?) EC-IOC meeting right?

1. Yes, it's valid (like Tsimanouskaya - we have this kind of experiance).

2. She can start with our nationality abroad since 20 june (but she must be approved as you said but via WA meeting

Then her mandatory waiting period to represent her new country ends

https://pzla.pl/aktualnosci/13751-maria-odzik-z-polskim-obywatelstwem

The next step will be the decision of the special World Athletics panel responsible for changing the national colors. We don't know when he'll get back together. Of course, we will lobby on this matter and we will do everything to ensure that Maria can start in the Polish Championships at the end of June. If this is handled smoothly, we will see her at the Olympics in Paris. She already has the minimum - explains Tomasz Majewski, vice-president of the Polish Athletics Association and head of the Olympic mission.

Also so many of Georgiadou's rivals and also other notable fencers from other weapons commented on the posts, and many people are saying FIE should give her a wildcard, and that the system is unfair, and I approximately half of these people asking for wildcards are not even Greeks, so it's not just the case of "biased fans"

many great sailors / judokas and other athletes could say something like this, because has only 1 place per NOC.

Maybe it's time to let 2 athethes per NOC to qualify via ranking like in table tennis.

If I read that correctly, (and by read it, I mean Google translated it correctly) there is budget allocated by central government for cycling as elite sport and applications for support can be submitted and approved by the minister. 

 

Does that mean that the Polish track cycling team applied for financial support and were rejected?

https://sport.tvp.pl/76615471/polacy-ni ... -pieniedzy 

Still is a huge problem to give that money.

President Makowski emphasized that so far there have been no talks between union representatives and the Minister of Sport, Sławomir Nitras, and the dialogue takes place via the media. He also noted that only on March 22, on the occasion of the 100th day of the government, the ministry presented a program to support bicycle riding, which shows that the recruitment of applications for its implementation lasts until March 29, and the decision will be made by April 5. So a week before the track team leaves for Canada

– This is the time when plane tickets and hotels should have been paid for long ago. I don't know if we can make it happen. We are looking for other possibilities, Makowski mentioned.

Referring to Minister Nitras' statement that PZKol activists should "get their shit together", Makowski replied: - We don't need to be additionally motivated. We only needed a little help in obtaining ministerial funds to finance elite national staff.

Poland could not  fly to Canada due to lack of funds.

Most probably he will not get to paris. The reason why he attend world cup is merely OG defending champion Xie Siyi is not eligible to compete due to the absence of last season. The selection of China squad is mostly finished. Wang Zongyuan and Xie siyi will compete individual event. Wang and Long will compete synchro.

Do you know more about China selection?

You could cross-out Grigor Dimitrov from the list, as his ego is bigger, than the Olympics. 

 

I had abandoned tennis as a sport, where we could have a participant, but the recent good results of Viki Tomova have put her in the top 70. Still lots of tournaments to go and tennis rankings are very up and down, when you are after top 30-40, but i would be really happy for her, if she manages to sneak a quota.

She has a great chance https://www.openerarankings.com/WTAHome?RankDate=01-04-2024&Race=6 she is already in qualify position

Women's All-Around — Athenes

 

1.  Elvira Krasnobaeva 131.10

2. Eva Brezalieva 130.35

3.  () Alina Harnasko 125.00

 

Amazing 6th place for Tugolukova, meanwhile Sofia Raffaeli do a total disaster.

 

Group All-Around is currently live in Vimeo 

So even without Russia, we are still fight with Russia in Rhythmic  Gymnastic. I hope our junior Lilianna Lewinska will be better than Tugolukova during EC

Do we know how the British team for Paris will chose?

This is still about swimming?
