Morocco qualified for the women's K1.

Mauritius started and DNF'd. This means Morocco and Algeria will battle it out today for the women's K1 spot.

Senegal qualified for the men's C1.

+1 is an alternate athete which does not count. If you count it, then you should also count all alternates in equestrian, fencing, etc...

What a match!

What a pleasant surprise from Starčević. I never expected this. Hopefully this will give the team some momentum going to Sofia.

Mauritius will have a small chance against Senegal tomorrow, I guess.

What a dumb finish.

English language teachers are always in need there, so you'd expect quite a few Americans, Canadians, Australians, etc.

I wonder if Liensberger is the new JTB...

Poland and China are the next two in line (Oceanian quota was reallocated too). But I am not sure if this applies before or after the Asian/European qualification event...

Morocco (2x), Kenya and Algeria will battle for the men's K1 spot tomorrow. should be the big favorite.

DNS again in Heat 2. Pretty sure this means both women's spots will get reallocated from here (K1 should eventually go to Algeria, though).

Entries Men's C1 - Men's K1 - Women's C1 - N/A Women's K1 - * * DNS in Heat 1

Here it is... https://siwidata.com/canoe123/live?SessionKey=ESP.1881 DNS in the women's K1, leaving only . I have no idea what are the implications of this for the Olympic qualification...

Yay, I discovered a webcam... Dated October 5th, 2013. https://www.parcolimpic.com/record/current.jpg?counter=1616230904979 This helps.

India qualifies in mixed doubles.

Heats will be held tomorrow, Semifinals and Finals on Sunday. No idea where to find start lists or results. Maybe Spanish user can help us here? @Jur, perhaps?

Germany wins in a dramatic conclusion. 448.568% 448.381% 437.071% 391.089% Young Ben Ebeling takes much of the blame. On both days, he risked it all for the passage on the final centerline (8.3 average), what caused his horse to lose the rhythm going into piaffe (4.75 average). Mid-test piaffes averaged above 7.0.

Down to 22 songs.

Table tennis needs to rework their qualification systems. Min. 3 nations contesting each spot would solve everything.

Yeah, Mongolia has been in the center of controversy this Olympic cycle. First they qualify the women's 3x3 team by virtue of playing daily tournaments in some elementary school halls, now they qualify in table tennis by virtue of defeating themselves.

Well, considering I did not consult previous rankings before starting the second listen, I am reasonably happy that my Top 13 from the second listen are the same as Top 13 overall. And there is a good reason why that one song dropped from 10th to 27th. One major flaw came to my attention.

Season started today in Wellington, with Germany taking surprise lead over the US and Canada. Competition concludes tomorrow. https://results.equestrian-hub.com/show/551/teams/22 Interestingly, Canada entered pretty much their four main Olympic candidates into this competition, and it was Chris von Martels, on paper the weakest link, who was the best performing Canadian today by a mile.

Just for the sake of it, here are the (hidden) combined rankings after the two completed listens. Scores given in the last column are just those rankings multiplied. It is a system I borrowed from sport climbing.
