Could they replace Zakarin (and others) with allowed cyclists, or do they automatically lose quota.

Why is Larisa Iordache only a reserve? I thought she was good?

Great group for Zetchiri, no asian inside and with a bit of luck could go to the knock-out stage. Not so good for the Stoeva sisters, they will need a miracle to go through.

No Morozov will suck for the sprints.

Russia still to finish top 3, to spite the Anglo-Saxons even more.

After Contador, now Quintana will also skip Rio, because of an unknown illness that caused his subpar performance at the Tour.

Sure, and the clean russian athletes that were gonna be banned and there sacrifices during the 4 year cycle? Or because they are russian they dont have the same rights as other athletes? Banning someone for something he/ she hasnt commited is hyprocracy. Anyone that tests possitive should fully take the punishment, but banning them beforehand, just fullfills other agendas than only clean sport.

Well the "good" guys tried, but missed. The whole situation of this state doping was for Sochi and it presumably ended after Sochi. So why didn't they demand all russian Sochi athletes to be DQed after those rat holes and whatnot? What has that situation have to do with Rio. Well Summer Games are way bigger than Winter. And they are now, which is huge. They would have made a mockery of Russia in front of the whole world, for something they did in the past. And it failed. I'm sure the higher powers are not happy. Erasing Sochi results won't have the same impact as this full ban would have had.

Good for the Games if true.

FIVB and CEV have given their full support for Russia, so if the IOC give the sport bodies the power to make their own decision, they won't change the indoor and beach volleyball qualifications.

Thunder and lightning, it's getting exciting! These last two days will save the Tour from being a complete borefest.

Fuck this

Yeah, i was sure the Astana third week super-form will work once again after yesterday, but Aru just did nothing, even with the team trying all stage. He needs a long attack now, because i can't see him doing 2 minutes on Quintana/Bardet on the final climb and downhill, and that just doesn't happen in present times. As for Porte, well he is Porte, all the big expectation and never the big result, even though he was the only one hanging with Froome the whole time, the guy just has no luck.

Got you this time. One down, one Yates to come tomorrow.

Aru all day for nothing...

Since Froomy is on the express train to the treble, the rest are going back to fight to be his wingman once again. Two big stages left and right now i think Porte and Aru are in the driving seat for that podium. Really impressed with Aru's TT today, looks like he is finally hitting the premium Astana 3rd week form, so his way is up. Not the same could be said for poor old Nairo Quintana. This time even his favourite stage 20 last climb, last hill, last stage, i did it, second place, yes, move could go off track, because his form isn't getting better,but worse. 38 year old Valverde who did the classics, and the Giro, and is supposed to work for Quintana, has almost the same performance as the guy who trained the whole year for the Tour win. Great job Movistar, another wonderful year. Finally Yates and Mollema had enough fun and should go back to the line, or do they? I would be really shocked if one or both of them are on the podium in Paris. It just screams that they will have a horrible last day ala Dumoulin and Krauswijk. We shall see.

Expected result. Maribor with 1 goal from 2 chances, Levski 1 goal from 20 chances. Good to see our team hasn't lost its touch.

Isinbayeva is giving me life, girl is on fire with this situation.

So, the italian teams withdrawed from Eurocup after all.

Jose Mourinho won't like the Trencin - Olimpija tie, too many goals for his liking.

A white guy with a medal in the 100 m., lol

17 stages past and there is still no victory for the Big 3 of cycling Italy, Spain and France.

Skybots murdering the race once more. Twist thst knife...

Yeah, i'm afraid Vladi Zografski is going to be just a flash. His smaller body just prevents him from having a fast runaway and then the winds just bounce him around. Plus his morale has been bellow minimum after the failed couple of seasons. Even having Pointner around for some coaching tips didn't improve much of his technique. I hope to see him rejuvinated for next season and at least get some points here and there. That should be the max that is expected from him.
