for Karate, you can always add the 2019 Continental Championships (outside Europe, which I've also already posted), as I don't have the dates for that... and if you haven't already done it (let me know that in this thread), I'm going to add the Youth League in the next couple of days... p.s. don't bother of adding fencing...I'm already doing it this week...

you're not the only one...

wow! Finland!!! so, finally it looks that I had the right idea from the beginning of this campaign (even if the guys from Norther Europe made me doubt about it more than once)... congrats to Kupari & friends... p.s. poor my Swiss neighbours...they just made history against SWE and only 2 days after they seemed to have lost all of their quality and played the worst hockey of the entire season in the 2 most important games...

by the way, the upcoming SLS Pro Tour World Championships shouldn't count for the OWSR yet, since they are the 2018 season's final (they're scheduled so late because they are held in Brazil and the organizers wanted them to come in this part of the year and not in November as usual)...

directly from the official qualification criteria released by WorldSkate... 'The Women’s Park and Street events and Men’s Park and Street events will each be comprised of exactly 20 athletes: - The three (3) highest placed in the 2020 Season World Skate World Skateboarding Championship events will be directly qualified. - Sixteen (16) will be qualified through the Olympic World Skateboarding Rankings (OWSR) - One (1) Host Country place will be allocated to the highest ranked Host Country skateboarders in each event. The Olympic World Skateboarding Rankings (OWSR) are sanctioned by World Skate and will be listed at www.worldskate.org The OWSR are issued every Tuesday following completion of the previous week’s contests from around the world. The OWSR recognise World Skate-sanctioned National Championship, Continental Championship, and World Championship events. The Women’s and Men’s Street OWSR recognise official prize money events from the Pro Tour TBD and the following 5-Star events: TBD. The Women’s and Men’s Park OWSR recognise official prize money events from the Pro Tour TBD and the following 5-Star events: TBD. Points will be awarded at the following events during the qualifying period: - World Championships - Pro Tour Events (TBD)...my note: basically this is the SLS Pro Tour for the Street competitions and the Vans Park Series for the Park competitions (you can look at their respective websites to know further details) - 5-Star Events (TBD) - Continental Championships - National Championships The OWSR is calculated as follows: Each event has a specified maximum point total which determines how many ranking points will be awarded to top finishers. Points are awarded to athletes based on their finish positions in each event, in both the prelims (top 32 finishers) and the finals (top 12 finishers). The points available at each event will be published at www.worldskate.org as of 1 July 2018. Ranking points for each athlete accumulate over the qualifying period. The top 3 points results from the 2019 season (1 Jan 2019 – 15 September 2019) will be added to the highest 6 points results from the 2020 Season (16 September 2019 – 31 May 2020) to establish the athletes final position in the OWSR. In case of a tie, the next highest points result from the 2020 season will be used to break the tie, repeated with additional highest results until the tie is broken. OWSR ranking points to qualify for the Olympic Games, which are used to calculate the athlete’s position on the OWSR, can be earned during the period beginning 1 January 2019 and up to and including 31 May 2020.' as you might see, the qualification period is already underway, but we don't know much about many events which are part of it, yet... the whole thing is bad...but not serious, I guess...

yeah, horror crash for Demchenko, who was taken to the hospital...the ambulance was shown on tv while leaving the track... let's hope for Viki in the end it's more of a precaution than something really bad...
