Is there no Rowing left?

I was finally successful in the draw. Hopefully I can get a couple events in this phase.

For me it should've been and instead of and . Although after crowd reaction I knew were going through and always go through when they sing in their own language.

If I don't get an email by Sunday I'm resigning myself to getting nothing and having to bank on resales.

I'm yet to receive an email. I hope I don't get as late as last time.

Appalling from , our banker medalist completely tanking it in the first round. There have been a few bright sparks with Smythe-Davis, Moorhead and Howell all getting decent points but on the whole it's been pretty abysmal. I doubt it'll get much better before the end either. The only outside chances we have at a medal are in -78KG women's with Reid and Powell. Things need to change fast otherwise we're gonna get nudged out of many of the weight categories.

I hope so. We've got about 2-3 fencers who have a good shot at getting individual quotas, and whether they get them could all depend on whether we get the team quotas due to European quotas being exceeded.

Poor from , this is a quota we should be going for and one that will massively impact whether we get any individual quotas.

They started putting them on 3 and 4 last year as soon as they started at 7 as opposed to just online and red button, depending on what time they start of course. I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same this year, especially if they want to get viewing figures up on 3 and prove bringing it back as a channel was the right decision.

Believe every Diamond League event is on the BBC for the next few years so it's very accessible for UK viewers.

Do I spot a Water Polo team?! Hope we stay in the division, would really help in the long run.

These people do nothing while they're there, WWE are trying too hard to create the next Kurt Angle.

I'd like to see them call someone else up, a certain Mr Eric Ham, if it's not too late of course.

Such a strange decision so close to the championships, unnecessary backlash and drama caused. Maybe this is why we only took 13.

From what I've heard, the decision will be made at the next IOC session in Mumbai.

It seems to me like that 1.3 mill has gone entirely to the women's main team, the other 3 have just been completed snubbed and disregarded. Obviously they have the best chance of qualifying (a decent shot at that) but to take the opportunity away from at least one other team to prioritise them is completely uncalled for. This is yet another example of our ego getting the better of by not allowing our team to potentially fail at qualifying and get experience from it just so that we can look better in front of the public

I never compared her to Summer McIntosh, I said she's our version of her because she has a similar story and is following a similar path to her. And yes, I do think she has the potential of winning medals at world championship and Olympics to come in 800 and 1500.

You know it's times like this that remind me how much of a joke we can be at times. Our Basketball team isn't even that bad, we would've had an outside chance at qualification.
