Nicaragua still not in. They need some convenient outcomes.

I guess it would be useful to make a simulation using heat times, though such rankings are by no means biding.

Just casually pointing out to our recruiters that a user from Uganda was hanging around the forum today.

Obviously no medals are expected in Torun, but the fact that those medals did nothing to improve the overall rate of championships participation says it all.

Well, considering IBU changed their system, one can't really take any of this for granted.

Only 4 athletes for us (2M+2W). You know, the usual for the nation who placed 7th in the Rio medal table...

Aaaaand Lithuanians troll themselves to an Olympic qualification. I'm afraid we'll be the ones getting the bitter end out of this.

Okay, we are used at horrendous TV direction for the later starters in the interval races. There must something fascinating about showing the same slow-motions and 'provisional results' again and again, instead of focusing on some later bibs punching above their weight. If it were up to me, the interval races would always be held during the first weekend, while the relays would be there for the other weekend. All other events can be held within a single day for all I care.

Anyway, this contest already has a nipple and a f*ck with me. Is NBC pulling out of this? @Olympian1010

I think that Spotify embed broke the thread. It's not loading on my desktop.

Yeah, good luck presenting this to the ever-conservative TISC jury panelists.

Any quota refusal would be a giant shocker for a nation like Latvia.

Crazy to think that Latvia will have at least four female skiers, and on top of that, they can still invite Bendika for the relay. Who knows, maybe with this system there will be 15 relays at the start...

Discoteque is nosediving on the odds-checker. Down to 5th.

More on the outbreak. https://www.worldofshowjumping.com/en/News/FEI-cancels-European-mainland-events-due-to-EHV-1-neurological-form.html

Basic quota for Greece and Hungary (quite controversially, since Ponya was not supposed to race today...). Bosnia and Herzegovina joins Northern Macedonia on the sidelines....

FEI cancells all competition in Europe through March 28 due to EHV-1 (Equine Herpes Virus) outbreak in Spain. This heavily disrupts plans of everyone aiming to obtain MERs (including the likes of Fouaad Mirza for example...).

20th would give them three spots. Hello Stephen O'Mara.

African women's 470 qualifiers had more depth than this...

So this is how the minor points should go (from the qualification race)... I assume Greece can't score points for their 5th skier. Let's hope so, anyway... 17 12 11 10 9 8 7 7 4 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Whoa. 88 starters. Our usual strategy of not sending qualified athletes is not paying off, as Jagečić will be ranked only 89th and behind some skiers she already defeated. Oh well.

After a long deliberation, the Croatian National Jury has made their decision. For this edition we choose Nipplepeople. Nipplepeople are an enigmatic, electropop band from Zagreb. Enigmatic, you ask? Quite right, their identity is unknown, and it is a mindful decision made to avoid the yellow pages, which often accompany musicians and the whole art scene. They will perform a song Tajna, which tells a regretful tale about feeling stuck in a non-developing relationship. For maximum experience, we highly recommend using headphones if possible. So, without a further ado... CROATIA nipplepeople - Tajna Lyrics

Belgium selects Laurence Roos & Fil Rouge as their representatives in dressage. They will still have to prove their fitness, but essentially there will not be an open season for the Belgian individual spot. Roos continues the long tradition of equestrian dentists at the Olympics... https://www.eurodressage.com/2021/03/01/laurence-roos-retain-belgian-slot-postponed-2021-tokyo-olympics-if-proven-fit

Curious where Ireland sits here. Do they have a shot at three spots even thanks to TMW?

Veliki potencijal za nastup u Parizu. Ovo je tek početak. https://results.equestrian-hub.com/show/494/27700
