Women's Four Olympic Quotas: 
 
 will battle for the final quota in the B-Final.

p.s. Daily Pass for the upcoming World Champs is 5€, the full Tournament Pass is 15€ 
 
just another sport to be cancelled from my schedule 

Decent start for us with the three boats we had competing today all advancing to QF, though our LM2X were far from convincing finishing 4th in their heat after having won bronze at the European Championships early this year and 6th in the World Cup event they competed in 

Don't waste your precious time

because they want to use the iconic Long Beach Marina and not the place that was chosen when they presented their bid
 
if IOC and World rowing were serious institutions, they would have recalled the arrogant LA organizers to stay with the original plan 
 
same for the Slalom Canoeing Center in Oklahoma City rather than in the LA area

Yeah swimming too along with a cut in quotas in judo, remove team events in fencing,mens football, synchronized swimming, completely eliminate modern pentathlon, dressage, breakdancing, skateboarding and we'll have a great games 

Don't waste your precious time

Don't waste your precious time

Not to mention, you then need to find another six to compete in the other boats, and that’s not even considering athletes in the sculls.

'Cause it's difficult to find 8 high-value athletes to put in (just) one boat; this is a good indicator of a country's depth in rowing.

Or, as it is now, this is apparently the thread for the 'Rowing World Rowing World Championships'  
 
Ah how I love the unnecessary double use of words in titles  
 
Too bad UCI isn't called 'World Cycling' yet, so we could have the World Cycling Road Cycling World Championships.

the fact that you find that even funny.....

All the entries are now listed on the World Rowing website. The Greek team is exactly as I predicted it to be.

Having watched the European Champs this week, I'm struggling to see the point of the music for the women's floor routines. None of the gymnasts seemed to have coordinated the elements of their routines to the beat and tempo of the music. They could just as easily have performed the routine in silence for all the difference it makes. 

E greu de spus, Chelimo anul trecut cu 2:18.04 a avut al 13 lea timp mondial, in fata ei fiind doar sportive din Kenya sau Ethiopia. Un timp la fel de bun si exista sanse mari de medalie. Pana acum din 2000 incoace medalia de aur s-a castigat cu timpi peste 2:23. Constantina Dita a castigat maratonul cu 2:26

Delvin are 2:20, Chelimo are la Seul anu trecut 2:18 si a treia kenyanca naturalizata Stela Rutto are un 15:06 pe 5000 cu siguranta toate 3 vor fi la bataie pt o clasare in top 8. Singura problema la Delvin si Chelimo e ca au deja o varsta destul de inaintata si cel mai probabil cam asta e singura olimpiada pe care o vor prinde, Rutto are doar 26 de ani deci mai are de alergat.

Atleta română de origine kenyană Delvine Relin Meringor s-a clasat pe locul trei la maratonul de la Barcelona, unde a izbutit să realizeze baremul pentru Jocurile Olimpice din 2024. Ea a devenit prima sportivă din România care s-a calificat la JO de la Paris.
 
Meringor a reușit la Barcelona timpul de două ore 20 minute și 48 de secunde. De asemenea, ea a realizat al doilea timp din istoria probei în România.
 
Delvine Meringor este antrenată de Valentin Anghel, cel care o pregătește și pe Claudia Bobocea, sportiva recent medaliata cu argint la Campionatele Europene de atletism in sala in cursa de 1500 m.

Decisions have consequences. She is entitled to follow her own reasoning and ignore the decision of the national federation. The federation subsequently is wholly in its right to remove her from the team and cut her financing. What signal would they give to other athletes: that it’s OK to ignore the federation at your convenience, and suffer no negative consequences? 

just another sport losing big part of theur (already small) audience.
 
time to cut them off the Olympic program (it should be the automatic punishment for those who leave the free comfortable streaming platforms for obscure and/or paid services).
 
my beloved Judo is another sport that needs a big slap in their face because of their choices about the media coverage 

Manufactured diversity à la Taekwondo so that you have something to sell to the IOC : "hey look at my Benin pin medallist, you can't really drop us now do you ?"
 
God, I hate that...

Completely new tactic by GB, just collide with your opponents and take them out of the race ...
Also there must be some brexit joke in there ...
I thought that maybe the brits got confused because people in Japan drive on the right side of the road, but then i did some research and actually people also drive on the left side of the road in Japan too, so no excuse there.
The most obvious explanation: The brits wanted to take revenge for the lost final of the european football championships by taking out Italy, but of course they missed (as usual).

Romania almost had them, If there were 15 more metres.

List of nations that won more than 6 rowing medals at a single olympics in this century:
GB (9 in 2012)
 
The Netherlands realistically could win more than 6 medals, something even Germany and Australia never managed to do in this century.

The development of the Netherlands in rowing is beyond absurd. They never won more than 3 medals at the olympics and now they already have 3 after 3 finals. Would really like to know what secret sauce they are using (in rowing/cycling/speed skating).
