that little fella in CC skiing trying to beat those two ladies on the finish line sprint. 
 
thinking about it, having a Dog sprint event makes more sense than some events there.

UWW announced they are going to review the ranking points allocation. we will see if they come up with something good. the current system is terrible terrible and unfair. they also made few other little changes to make the ranking more relevant 
 
I gave it a little thought, something like 50-55 NOCs will qualify at least one wrestlers before the last chance qualifier. they won't be allowed to participate in this event. we usually have something like 60-70 countries in a World Championships, around 80-90 the year before the Olympics.
 
NOCs without quota can send max 2 wrestlers to the last tournament. by my count something like 30-40 NOCs with active wrestling program will be left without a quota. if all of them send 2 wrestlers we will have 70-80 wrestlers across 18 events. that's average of 3 or 4 wrestlers per event. we may end up with only 1 wrestler in some events.  
 
I don't know maybe this isn't that bad. this will encourage some weaker non-active countries to take the last chance qualifier seriously. everybody has a chance there. it will be a super weak event. unless countries start buying Russian mercenaries 
 
also there is a loophole here. if you are a NOC with 2 good/solid wrestlers, it's better if both of them fail to qualify, therefore you can have two near 100% chances in the last event. but if one of them qualifies earlier the other one is out of the Olympics already.

OCA did last minute changes before so this is not 100% final, let's say 99% final

diving within aquatics is a normal thing. much more than that
they already attached soft-tennis (completely different sport) to tennis 
 
now they made it worse. Cricket wasn't in the original program (Japan wasn't interested) but they somehow made Japan interested. all of a sudden they also decided to add MMA. to make room for two new sports without breaking their rules. they created a new "Combat sports" including Kurash, Jujitsu and now MMA which also opens a spot for the new sport of Cricket.
 
they did that before in 2022 by adding 5-6 sports under the name of "Mind sports" or something like Mechanical sports in 2018. 
 
the OCA regulation says they should have all sports from the previous (and not the next) Olympic + 1 sport from each region (5 in total) + 2 picked by the host country + 2 picked up by the OCA. that's 41 this time, we had 32 in Paris.
 
that was the original list before reshaping the list and adding Cricket and MMA
5 regional sports: Wushu (east), Kabaddi (south), Sepaktakraw (Southeast), Jujitsu (west) and Kurash (central)
2 Japan sports: Karate and Baseball/softball
2 OCA sports: Esports and Squash
 
 

I didn't want to write anything in this forum anymore but OK f..k it. 
 
I managed to get the full list of events. not a PDF file to send but I can tell you anything you want to know about any sport.

it will be 460 events 217 for men, 204 for women plus 39 mixed/open events in 41 sports and 68 disciplines
keep in mind OCA has a weird way of counting the sports. they have a rule about not having more than 41 sports in the games, so they sometimes put some completely different sports in one category to circle around their own rules !!!

Ebba Anderson ready for the moguls in 4 years 

Oh and last bit of experience from yesterday: we were yelling "Go Sami! Gooo Sami!!" whenever  Samaneh Beyrami passed us and in the first lap, when she passed us at the uphill and we were screaming for her, she actually looked up for a second and had this huge smile, that was just awesome  
 
Plus I noticed that after we had been yelling for certain athletes for a while, other people around us started cheering for them too, including for Sami   Unsurprisingly I didn't really see Iranian flags among the spectators, but this way at least she had some nice support during her whole race basically @MHSN  

Oh, seems like the fastest time counts @MHSN, sorry for the fake news
