They still have to achieve MQS at this event to be given a quota.

Looks like men's skeet quota may be unused. Only the two Egyptians stand a chance of going over 114, but there are no guarantees. In the women's skeet, meawhile, Ibtissam Marirhi could be the only one above MQS. And just for a comedy relief - the other Marirhi shot 5/75 targets today.

3xTop 20

Day 5 Men's 25 m rapid fire pistol 1. Mahmoud Taha 2. Tayeb Mehali 3. Ahmed Shaban Men's 25 m rapid fire pistol team 1. Egypt 2. Algeria 3. Libya Men's 50 m pistol 1. Chen Jiangang 2. Lamri Kara 3. Mahmoud Ghoul Men's 50 m pistol team 1. Senegal 2. Algeria 3. Kenya

Apparently Marirhi shot 1/25 in the first series of women's skeet.

Zubčić makes the second run with Bib 70.

For the people involved it's not, but for casual sports fans who only see "IAAF" in headlines that also contain "Russia", "doping", "cover-up" and so on - it's a nice facelift.

But Yule is only 5th.

Cool to hear how Sweeney finds sprint boring. So it's not just us fans being buzz-killers.

I hear that luge announcer is still pronouncing all non-English names as if they were Germans. "Jakub Zimonak"

I wonder who was that 'Heywood'?

Emily Sweeney behind the mic.

Aaaand Korea wins of course. I just can't grow to like rugby sevens. First we have Samoa always being the odd duck out, and now Hong Kong too misses their only chance to have a team sport.

What a cheap mistake from Hong Kong now. I guess we go into the extra time.

I don't get what Hong Kong is doing. They got the first attack in the second half, and yet they immediatelly kicked the ball out.

Right. Hope Hong Kong wins this. And I guess Korea beating China in semis potentially prevented rugby version of vs water polo match?

And that is exactly the point. Idealists use religion as scapegoat, while violence is really caused by economic reasons, and as such goes back to the dawn of humanity... I mean, just take a look at casualties of this battle... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Suiyang

I wonder why people still talk about Crusades, but never about Cult of Reason and Reign of Terror? Same thing with inquisition vs lobotomies. People are what they are. Deal with it.

To be fair, IAAF has become a synonim for dirty federation in recent years. It's a nice facelift.

IAAF is no more! Now we have World Athletics. Can't wait to have Athletics World Athletics World Championships thread. https://www.worldathletics.org/

Welp, tomorrow can be both very encouraging and very disheartening for our team. I'm curious to see how they perform at the season opener.

Probably yes. He is also trying to be sneaky though. Given the specific situation, he can both underscore and overscore his targets, and thus make himself look clean - even if the outcome of such judging doesn't make sense. This may sound paranoid, but I'm quite sure about it. Yesterday 4/5 judges had Senhorini as the best Brazilian. And that made sense, since Senhorini performed a relatively clean test, while the other two had big errors for which they fully deserved low 60s... And Saleh? He put Senhorini way behind both Almeida and Oliva... But then again, I always felt like the Olympic qualifications bring the worst in the officials, in all kinds of sports. Much more so than Olympics themselves.
