If the history of the first two oqt’sis respected, Italy will definitely qualify. In both those tournaments the Dutch team beat the qualifying team in the group fase.

Everyone's own opinion of course, but I do genuinely think Froome is one of the least liked riders outside of his home country in the past 20 years or so  
 
Although to be fair, it definitely isn't helped by the massive overall dislike of the entire Team Sky clan of those days..

Funnily enough the Dutch women also defeated the winner of the first OQT (Azerbeidzjan) in the group fase, only, like in this tournament, to go down to a massive defeat against the runner up.

Totally agree. It’s clear this team does not belong at the Olympics.

Compared to last month’s qualifying tournament, with the disappointing loss in the semi-finals, the Dutch team brought in Zoe Slagter, the superstar of the team that won last years under 23 World Championships.

Game of the day.  defeats  18-16 in an OT thriller. 
 
Mansfield, with Australia up 15-14, had a chance to put the game away after Netherlands committed their 10th foul, which gave them 2 free throws and possession. She missed both of them, and scored one, to put Australia up 16-14. Boonstra ties the game up with 5 seconds left, and Wilson misses a two for the win off the top of the backboard. Netherlands start with possession in OT, and Boonstra comes up clutch yet again and sinks in the 2 just one possession in for the win!

it was heats and repechage originally, I think. Clearly repechage was too big a word for World Athletics to deal with, hence the change.

Update. Doctors have discovered that his condition is acute pancreatitis. It was severe at first (hence him being taken on an ambulance in extreme pain) but his condition got better after time. Today, that all changed, he got worse again and was taken into another wing of the hospital. He’s expected to stay there for about a couple of weeks, maybe even longer. Really hoping he can get well soon, it’s heartbreaking to see him in his current state 

Hi everyone! 
 
A bit of a family emergency is going on right now (my dad isn’t doing too well, he’s on his way to the hospital as I type this), which may explain my lack of inactivity on Totallympics and updating all of the various sporting events 
 
If anyone wants to post any of them that’ll be appreciated, and if not then I’ll post them when I’m fully back! 
 
Actually, it might even be within a few days. I’ve just thought about it, and when I’m not busy visiting him at the hospital, I might choose to watch/share results of some sports. Bit of a confusing response I know, but to explain my thought process, watching (along with playing, but irrelevant point) sports and sharing results on Totallympics are two of my favourite things to do. Trying to not worry too much when personal problems is hard for me, and it might be what I need to not freak out and have mental breakdowns every couple of minutes. But we’ll see.

And you have nerve to call something disgusting. 

Unfortunately no. I followed the score

Spain wins 26 - 23, so they qualify with TeamNL.

After a low-level second half, the match ends at 32 - 18. Dutch qualification for Paris/Lille all but assured.  

A very unexpected upset, Hungary wins against Sweden, 28-25.
