no, replacements can only be made until an hour before the start of the actual competition...if you get injured in the last warmup when you're already on the track there's no way to call up the reserve man/woman/transexual

naaa, she got injured in the warm-up jumps

did you say?

gone! what a shame!

and now is ahead with 4 targets left

tied with 5 targets to go... I just can't...

official: bronze for now vs for gold, with leading by 1 before the last 10 targets my heartrate is dangerously rising

and it's official: 4th place for now leads by 2 points over and is suddenly in the hunt for silver 5 more targets to decide the bronze medal

next out, bronze for OQP for both of them, however

the next out, 5th place and OQP for her and tied in the lead after 30 targets

out Jessica wasting some chances to get clear from the rest of the field

yeah, it's not correct, they should fix the whole schedule what they indicate as laser run final in fact is the full final session (with all the 4 elements), meanwhile the 6 hour sessions are the semifinal heats (and from this it's impossible to understand if they will go for the 2 18-player heats or the 3 12-player heats) the only correct info is the fencing bonus rounds on day #1 of the sport (Aug. 8th)

men's Trap Marian Kovacocy and Khaled Almudhaf are safe in the final (and will fight for the OQPs) @hckošice then, we have a 7-man shoot-off for the last 4 places in the decisive act: Derrick scott Mein and William Hinton (both not competing for any OQP) Jiri Liptak (also not competing for an OQP, as he's already qualified) Giovanni Pellielo (53 years old, 4-time Olympic medallist, this would be his 8th Olympic participation, if he gets until there, of course) Giovanni Cernogoraz Andres Garcia Mitchell Iles the last 4 will fight for both the final and the OQPs

yes, I can tell you that CSKA is surely active in Olympic Wrestling, I have no idea about Dynamo (but I think they also are there) I'm also pretty sure that all the athletes from the traditional regions who are serving the mandatory military service, during those 18 months (or is it 2 years now? ) have to temporarily switch to those military clubs to continue their wrestling activity in that span (otherwise they would be enrolled in the regular troops, with all that means)

naaa...the Olympic format is the same of the European Games semifinals would consist of 2 heats with 18 players each, so the final (on 1 single heat, of course)* in the semis there are the fencing bonus round, swimming and laser run (most likely no riding), in the final there will be also the riding before the final laser run *they might also split the players in 3 heats of 12 in the semis

however, I think that the German TV has a better picture quality (for those who consider that an important factor)

I don't know what kind of policy is following UWW, but if they are in line with the IOC demand, all those wrestlers enrolled in military clubs (CSKA, Dinamo and so on) or registered for clubs owned by some oligarcs sanctioned by the EU and/or UN are not eligible to participate in any international event

Tamberi vs Harrison for gold in the men's high jump one thing is safe...there won't be a shared gold this time

Harrison doesn't surrender, but now he's behind Tamberi

I'm not a fan of him, but this man has 2 balls like cocumbers, I must admit

you were right, but they changed the rule in due course
