Silver for Elena Gaskell in women’s slopestyle at the Tignes WC! 

@hckošice I just wanted to thank you for organizing these replays. It's always a mess looking for them, but you made it so easy. Thank you! 

I do find it odd that USA had a day off, but Venezuela didn't.

failed to qualify for the World Cup, disaster 
 
Worried we might not even qualify for the Olympics…

Second medal for  

Totally.
 
but we can also say it was super odd that Japan and Korea had to fly around the world to play in 3 days difference.
I understand it was amazing for part of the first round to be played there: Nippon had full house, it made it easier for Korean, Taiwanese and Australian fans... but perhaps 3 days was a short notice for that.

I know my fellow Canadians will be upset over this result. I too am also sad to see Canada not get a quota.
 
But at the same time, super happy for  Venezuela. They were given a tough hand being in the same pool as the DR and facing Japan in the quarterfinals but still managed to reach the semifinals. They deserved this quota and if MLB players will be in the Olympics, I'm glad we'll be able to see Acuna and the rest of the Venezuelan superstars at the Olympics.
 
Huge congratulations to them!

Saturday March 14 2026 a great day for Venezuelan sports and baseball

Lol. 
 
What year to be a Canadian sports fan.

Listen, I don't make the rules. I just enforce them ruthlessly. 

Correct 

HR!
 
Japan just needs to hold on to win and Canada is into the Olympics!
 
(I think)

and his replacment hits a 3-run home run!!! 
 
4 run inning for Japan and they lead 5-2!

Venezuela gets a run in the 2nd to lead 2-1.
 
 Yamamoto getting absolutely shelled so far. He couldn't have pitched like this in the World Series!?

Regardless of the outcome, this is such a shit way to decide which teams from the Americas go to the Olympics…

Wow looks like Carney is taking this very seriously. Interviewing all the organizations over the next six months to see what they require individually and funding from grass roots to elite level athletes. They are doing it the right way 

Canada defeated Argentina 75–41 at the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2026 Qualifying Tournament in Istanbul.
 
 

 
 

Bronze medal for Arnaud Gaudet at today's PGS World Cup in Val St. Come! Also 6th place for Kaylie Buck.

But I think the first tie breaker is total runs. It just goes to earned runs because total runs are tied between Canada and PR.

Not sure if I'm nagging too much on this, but this actually regards ONLY to a first round tiebreaker. Even on the webpage of MLB referenced by this article it clearly says:
 
"Pool Play and Tie-Breaking Procedures:
First Round"
 
it does't say anything regarding FINAL STANDINGS.
 
My take on this is that MLB probably doesn't care much for that and it didn't realise it would be so important fot Olympic qualification (if so: they're stupid, for sure).
If we had a clear rule, the MLB it would already have posted something regarding that...
