GB? the "Nation" that didn't even boycott entirely Moscow 1980? they will never have the balls to take such decision! and stop trolling around! we all know that you're a lost catastrophist...and nothing of what you say is going to become true.

Swimming will be interesting, so to say

unfortunately Milano-Cortina is seriously more at risk than Paris 2024, as we don't have a single indoor venue (except for the Forum, hosting Figure Skating and Short Track) and a few outdoor venues (the Trampolines in Predazzo and of course, the Sliding Sports Center) in line to be completed yet and I wouldn't put my hand on a flame that everything will be ready by 2026

my beloved Sofia but luckily I'm ready to watch a lot more things (Wintersports, Swimming SC Euros, women's Handball Worlds, Weightlifting GP, Hockey and NFL Football)

Luo Shifang took gold in an exciting women's -59kg competition that lasted more than seven hours across three sessions at the IWF Grand Prix II in Doha. There were plenty more winners, though. Olympic champion Maude Charron went six-from-six in improving her best Paris 2024 qualifying total (she's now 5th overall, 4th useful place with 233kg), Lucrezia Magistris jumped 7 places after putting a run of bad results behind her (but with her 217kg Total, she's still outside the qualification line in the OQR, 16th overall, 12th useful place) and Anyelin Venegas moved into the Top 10 (222kg Total, 11th overall, but more importantly, 9th useful place). Further down the rankings there was a big move by Kiana Elliott (from 193kg Total to 208kg, from 51st position in the OQR to the top 30). Luo became the second Chinese woman to turn the tables on a lifter who had won at the recent Asian Games. In Hangzhou in October Kim Il Gyong set a snatch world record on her way to victory but at the Aspire Zone venue today Luo made a final attempt at 139kg to win on 108-139-247. That equalled the Total World Record made by Kuo Hsing-Chun, who did not compete here, and was a 4kg improvement for her at the top of the rankings. Kim, 20, was second on 107-136-243, while Charron made 104-129-233. European champion Kamila Konotop from Ukraine was fourth on 103-127-230 in a high-quality contest. athletes are not eligible to qualify for Paris. Within minutes of the start of the A Group, Magistris was in good shape. She had made only two good lifts in four qualifying appearances before today, and had doubled that total after two snatches. By the end of the session Magistris had improved her best total by 10kg to 217kg and will be 12th in the rankings. Charron almost danced off the platform after completing a career-best performance at her new weight, having moved down last year. It was a second straight six-from-six for her, after she finished 2nd at the Pan American Games on 226kg, and takes her up to fourth place ahead of Kuo. There were plenty hoping to move up the rankings from the B and C Groups but because of so many red lights only two made significant gains, Venegas in B and Elliott in C. In the last few minutes of the B Group, Garance Rigaud had a chance to overtake team-mate Dora Tchakounte but a 7kg jump for her last attempt was too much. Adijat Olarinoye had two attempts to make ground on fellow Nigerian Rafiatu Lawal, who is in the top ten, but missed both. It looked as though Venegas might become the fourth bombout of the B session when, after being the only athlete to snatch 100kg, she failed with her first two clean and jerks on 122kg. Venegas, 24, made her final lift for 100-122-222, good enough for tenth place in the rankings. Nina Sterckx, clearly upset after a rushed second snatch attempt in the A Group, dropped to 11th. Elliott, who competed at the Tokyo Olympic Games, has two routes to Paris. She can qualify via this 59kg category in which she made six from six and a 15kg improvement today, or possibly jump to 71kg where two other Australians are already going head to head, Sarah Cochrane and Jacqueline Nichele. Mattie Sasser from the Marshall Islands, who lifted at Rio 2016, is in pole position for the 59kg continental place for Oceania with a best total of 214kg. Elliott moved within 6kg of that with 96-112-208 while Sasser did not take up her entry.

Grand Prix II ( Doha) women's -59kg Gold: Luo Shifang (247kg Total) Silver: Kim Il Gyong (243kg Total) Bronze: Maude G. Charron (233kg Total)

The non-Olympic men’s -67kg lost some lustre when multiple champion and world record holder Chen Lijun withdrew. That left the way clear for Ri Won Ju to claim the 5th victory of the week for his Nation. Ri, 21, finished second to Chen at the Asian Games with a total of 321kg and could have won with 20kg less than that in Doha. He made all six lifts for 139-178-317, which left him way ahead of the only other man to hit the 300kg mark, Ivan Dimov from . Dimov was 2nd in snatch and total on 140-160-300, and snatch winner Bunyad Rashimov was 3rd on 141-157-298. Silver and bronze in C&J when to Sairamkez Akmolda, fourth overall on 126-168-294, and seventh-placed Ishimbek Muratbek on 120-164-284.

double Olympic champion Shi Zhiyong is back on the international platform at last. For the first time in 862 days since he won gold in Tokyo, Shi returned to action at the IWF Grand Prix II in Doha. He finished second to the improving European champion Ritvars Suharevs, despite declining his final two clean and jerks in the 73kg A Group. Shi is now the best lifter in the OQR (7th overall, 6th useful position) after making 160-180-340, while Suharevs’ six-from-six 156-185-341 effort takes him up to 5th overall (4th useful position). Third placed Weeraphon Wichuma, the 19-year-old world champion, won the C&J gold but made no gains in the rankings on 145-189-334, while fourth-placed Julio Mayora also failed to better his top qualifying total after two snatch failures in his 145-188-333. Two athletes from and did not take up their entries here, leaving Oceania without a single eligible athlete at 73kg. If all four other continental federations are represented in the top 10 by the end of qualifying (which is highly unlikely, as only Europe and Asia are currently represented among the Top 15 Nations in the OQR), that could lead to reallocation of the continental slot at this weight.

Grand Prix II ( Doha) men's -73kg Gold: Ritvars Suharevs (341kg Total) Silver: Shi Zhiyong (340kg Total) Bronze: Weeraphon Wichuma (334kg Total)

Buttman is an idiot! he doesn't know anything and he's the worst thing international hockey fans have to cope with to follow the NHL not to mention all the bullshit he said about Milan and the 2026 Olympic Arena

Two more wins for , 11 different medallists in two events, an Olympic champion withdrawing when in the lead and a bombout by a multiple world record holder were among the highlights on day three of the IWF Grand Prix in Doha. The gold and silver medallists in snatch failed to make a total. Olympic Champion Li Fabin, who led at halfway on 137kg, withdrew with his left elbow heavily strapped. Eko Yuli Irawan was second on 136kg (ahead of the eventual winner, Pak Myong Jin, who lifted a Total of 305kg), before bombing out in C&J in group B. The C Group lifter Mohamad Aniq finished 3rd in the men's -61kg class, in which 5 of the top 10 lifted yesterday in B and C sessions. John Ceniza was the only A Group lifter to make an improvement on his best total in the Paris 2024 rankings. teenager Hampton Morris moved into the top ten of the OQR thanks to an Olympic Total on 292kg, leaving Arley Lazaro Calderon Licourt momentarily out of the qualifying positions. He was the only athlete from outside Asia in the top eight of Today's competition. In the non-Olympic class of the women's -55kg, the Gold Medal went to Ri Su Yon (210kg Total) ahead of Surodchana Khambao (193kg Total) and Aleksandra Grigoryan (189kg Total).

I thought I wrote it quite clearly...

really depressing environment, almost no spectators at the venue and not so exciting results by our swimmers

in the first competitions of the Grand Prix II in Doha, finally did show up on the international stage after a few years' absence and they immediately set the tone they won both the non-Olympic weight classes completed so far (Won Hyon Sim, women's -45kg with 181kg Total and Pang Un Chol, men's -55kg with 268kg Total) and got a Silver medal in the Olympic class, women's -49kg Ri's score would also have been good to put herself in qualifying position in the OQR, but having the team missed the previous mandatory events, they should still be out of the Paris Games, unless something strange (and unfair) happens in the next months. in the women's -49kg class, we also have a new entry in the qualifying positions, Katherin Oriana Echandia Zarate, who lifted 190kg in the Olympic Total and jumped up into the useful top 10 places, leaving Lin Cheng Jing momentarily out Giulia Imperio also improved by a couple of kilos, but her 185kg Total isn't good enough to sneak in into the qualifying positions, actually she lost a place because of Zarate's result, so she's now in the 12th useful place, 2 outside the "magic line"

Grand Prix II ( Doha) women's -49kg Gold: Jiang Huihua (216kg Total) Silver: Ri Song Gum (213kg Total) Bronze: Hou Zhihui (209kg Total)

unfortunately a vpn is required, but here you can find Today's races from the Austrian ORF https://tv.orf.at/program/orfs/livesnowbo276.html I just can't find any broadcast vpn free

no CBC?

Brignone does it again! thanks to the inclement weather, must admit (the last 4 to race really got into a storm in the first half of the course)
