Part 1

Will do a massive update on all the athletes qualified since my last update at the start of March after tomorrow's races. 

Tomorrow at around 2pm our time. 

That’s correct. 

Despite getting thrashed in all 3 of our games, I'm quite pleased with our performance this week. We got into double figures against Hungary and Japan and created some good opportunities for ourselves that we unfortunately couldn't convert, which is more than I expected us to do. This is a sport that needs a lot of development in our country, and this is certainly a start to seeing us become competitive whilst trying to qualify for major championships. Just like with our Water Polo teams, this could be the boost we need to go on and qualify for Brisbane and 2036 - which should be our target off the back of this.

Very unlucky not to score another 45 points and win the game.

I think we can also add the men's double sculls to that list too as we stormed the B final but where still a fair bit behind unqualified Australia who were last in the A final and should qualify along with us. As for the other 3 events, we won't qualify anyone in the men's lightweight but I'm still optimistic for us in the women's singles and doubles sculls despite not entering anyone here. The Europeans in two weeks will give us the biggest guide as to what shape the team is in. 

I must admit this is another positive takeaway from today, that quota looks likely to be gained.

We may still have Thomas racing for the quota at the LCR and have Bourne race it at the games, who I thought looked really good today. But regardless who it is, it's pretty safe to say we'll get the quota along with Italy.

It's not unusual though

Part 1

Easy win for Hungary as expected, but I felt we gave a decent account of ourselves. A lot of work needs doing though, as we missed quite a few clear cut chances due to our throws being too weak.

Just the one athlete for  in the men's 20km race walk. Really shows the sorry state of affairs we're in that we don't even want to attempt to qualify for this at Paris.

Is the top one dedicated to the one and only Welsh sexbomb or someone completely different?
