Iapichino improves to 6.87 in her last jump and stays in silver.  Linares completes the podium.

Silver for Sarah Mitton at the world indoor championships

I dont remember a robbery of this level in any sport......... and we really watch sports 

So Reagan was right in 80s? 

Cant take this sport seriously 

Well, I'm sad and happy at the same time. I'm happy because I expected it and we're not taking a spot away from a country that deserved it more.
 
But, we used to be one of the leading basketball countries, we were world champions and Olympic runners-up. Now we can't even qualify for a world tournament anymore, always losing to teams like Puerto Rico, a declining Serbia, an ascending Germany, and now being left out by the hardworking Czech Republic and Mali...
 
The worst part is that there won't be any improvement. Nobody cares about losers, nobody cares about women's basketball here. The national league is terrible, there are no young players, the national federation doesn't care...

In order for us to advance:
 
Canada will need to beat Australia OR
 
Argentina to beat Japan (unlikely) OR
 
Turkey to beat Hungary.
 
A shame this qualifying tournament clashed with the college season. There were a couple players in college that would've helped us

@clemsonbeav = posting machine !!! 

Venezuela has given up 12 runs in 108 innings.
 
For  Canada to earn the Olympic quota, they need Japan to win and score 3 or more runs.
 
Otherwise  Venezuela gets the quota.
