1st World Cup semifinal as well. The team had only reached the SFs last year at the Euros when it took home the bronze medal.

Yup  qualified in all events it entered here.

The Olympic ranking for canoe slalom starts today, with the Asian Championships in China being the first event where athletes can earn points. It carries exactly the same weighting as a World Cup stage. It’s also particularly interesting for European teams, since Asia has virtually a guaranteed spot in K4 and several competitive crews capable of finishing in the top 11.
Does anyone know if there are live results available?

I've said it multiple times, that smaller sports should definitely be adopting a World Cup circuit like FIS does with skiing, or in tennis etc. in order to somehow popularize the sport. 
 
It's always better to have a clear competition system for the athletes, for the fans, for the TVs, to know which are big events, what are the stakes, have some continuity etc.
 
As for LA28 qualification, let's hope the rankings quotas won't be more than 50% in an event and there are still the direct qualification regattas for people who for some reason couldn't be performing year out.  

European Aquatics has launched a program to boost team entries on the road to the Paris 2026. Three national federations — Portugal, Türkiye and Bulgaria — are now receiving 10,000 euros each to prepare teams to compete at this summer’s European Championships.This initiative was prompted by the fact that, while many federations had athletes involved in solo or duet competition, the number of countries taking part in the team events was relatively limited. More on that initiative soon.

Wow. Huge suprise for Poland Szeremeta post in 1 dt round.. But tbh for me it was equal and not suprising.

Could easily replace Football at the Olympics, since it’s not even the most major event for it

still has a chance . If they win their playoff match v  they will qualify for WC next year.

Lisa Eder (ski jumping) announced her retirement at the age of 24 (after a career best season).

The Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation (UGF) has announced that it will file a formal complaint against Sofiia Ilteriakova. The federation is demanding that Ilteriakova’s results at the Sofia World Cup—where she won silver with the hoop—be annulled due to unsportsmanlike conduct.
Additionally, the UGF is requesting that Ilteriakova’s neutral athlete status be revoked.
World Gymnastics has confirmed that the incident during the hoop final medal ceremony at the Sofia World Cup is currently under investigation.

Test rankings are not true either. Give at least 30 nations test status and force top teams to face smaller teams then I will consider it true. 
 
A sport which does not give all teams an opportunity to play against top teams and wants to use rankings for Olympic qualification does not deserve a spot in Olympics.
 
 
Yes, the reason to have the sport is India and money but I feel there can be many ways you can do it.
 
Now that India won WC it could easily be winner + 4 regional qualifiers + host OR Top ranking+ 4 regional+ host...  But just distributing 4/6 quotas on ranking is way too unjust.

my bad 

The Stoevi sisters are just amazing. It's a shame their accomplishments will always be in the shadows here, just because they are in a sport without much coverage, tradition, interest. 
 
This is their 7th European title (5 ECH + 2 European Games) which is just one shy of Carolina Marin's all time record of 8th titles in a specific event. Plus it was their 6th consecutive final with only one loss in 2024 in this streak. 

Would have preferred regional qualifier + global qualifier.
 
Since India won the T20 WC it could have been WC Winner + 5 regional qualifiers. 

Pretty much. I hope this is just a layover when the 10,500 athlete quota was for all sports, including the invitational ones.
 
When cricket likely returns for 2032, I hope they expand it to 12 teams and have a real tournament. Yes, getting  more involved at the Olympics is the big prize, but  and  are both in the top 10 in world population, yet currently do not care about the Olympics. It would be so easy for the IOC to get those nations invested in the games.

While this was reported earlier, I'm disappointed they are going with world rankings. I guess they don't want to risk India missing the Olympics. 

She also lost sometimes in the World Cup last year- nothing special, but the return of Rus has made the competition even tougher and Raffaeli will have a hard time to winning more medals - it seems that her best time for Olympic gold was in 2024... Unfortunately, Raffaeli's peak was probably in 2022 at the World Championships.

I think that France will be weaker now after Paris 2024. This is already happening with women... They're only the 6th or 7th most popular team sport – I think only Marseille has a good water polo club here.
