Congratulations for your easy double in the race walking!

Back in 2022 there were talks that Madrid was considering to bid for the 2036 Olympics, but later that year our NOC's president said in an interview that there was no chance for Madrid to get it because IOC preferred to explore other markets (i.e. India, Qatar or Arabia), so politicians decided not to go forward. If Asia gets the 2036 Olympics will probably be the front runner for 2040, but I think that Madrid and Budapest would also bid.

Spain has a limited number of players compared to other countries (top teams are located in Barcelona + Canoe in Madrid, but the team is way better in men's side), but the coaching level at club level is very high, especially for youth teams.

It is not approved yet by IOC, but the initial proposal from WA was to reduce to 8 teams in recurve, so 24 quotas would go to team events and 28 for individual quotas per gender.

I think this is the best alternative, if not the only one, to make it happen this season. As I said before, I am open to help collecting the votes and preparing the templates and scoreboard.

When I hosted back in 2023 I created an Excel template where I only had to input the votes of the country and the running order and both the voting templates and the scoreboard were automatically generated. I think I still have the file on my computer, in case it helps. Unfortunately, I don't have time to host the contest this year, but I can help with that part if needed.

Spain Argentina 12 China 11 Mexico 10 Czech Republic 9 New Zealand 8 Great Britain 7 Sweden 6 United States 5 Canada 4 Bulgaria 3 India 2 Chile 1 And that completes the results of the votes from the Spanish National Jury. Have a great day!

Good morning from Spain! It's a real pleasure to be participating once more in this wonderful contest. Thanks a lot to our host @Cinnamon Bunfor taking the time to organize it. Without further ado, these are the results of the votes of the Spansh National Jury.... Spain Mexico 10 Czech Republic 9 New Zealand 8 Great Britain 7 Sweden 6 USA 5 Canada 4 Bulgaria 3 India 2 Chile 1

I managed to send my votes before the deadline .

I think that is probably the best that could have happened to her in the long term. If she won the bronze, it would have been one more of the 41 medals. Now her case has made it to the main page of Spanish press and she gained way more recognition and will keep the same allowance as if she won the medal.

ESPAÑA David Bisbal - A Partir De Hoy Lyrics (Spanish): This Latin Pop song (with some influences of Flamenco) was released in 2018 as a collab between David Bisbal, one of the most popular Spanish singers since the early 2000s and Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra.

I'm not sure if I will have enough time this year, but I will try to join if no other user wants.

Swimmer Teresa Perales' 28th Paralympic medal made the front page in Marca, the main sports newspaper in Spain.

150 athletes in 16 sports for . The goal is 40 medals and 10 golds.

Lacrosse already had more than 40 nations competing at the last World Championship if you include the qualification round. Although taking a look at the results the difference between US/Canada and the other teams was huge.

I will go for a) Yes.

According to this tweet 23 wins and no loses this century in big tournament finals. In smaller tournaments we also lost the second edition of the Nations League against France.

Seven players (Unai Simón, Marc Cucurella, Martín Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal, Pedri and Dani Olmo) were part of the team that won the silver medal 3 years ago in Tokyo. And fun fact, Oyarzabal scored in both finals. This year Fermín López and Álex Baena will join the team in Paris. They have not played much in EURO so they won't be very tired for the Olympics.

VAMOOOOOSSSSS

382 confirmed by our NOC. The list of the first page is missing 2 golfers (it's 4 instead of 2) @Benolympique

Considering how difficult it is to qualify in this sport, I think it's pretty remarkable that from 1980 onwards, only missed the 2000 Olympics in men's basketball. 11 out of the last 12. Only and have a perfect record. In Europe the closest team is , that competed in 7 out of 8 Olympics after the independence. Let's see if they make it 8 out of 9 in a few hours.

I don't think that's going to happen. If you asked me last year I saw a good chance for Aday Mara or even Izan Almansa to make the cut, but this season Aday joined UCLA and, as far as I know, he didn't play very often.

Goal achieved! We are far from our top level in 2008-2012 and probably won't make it to the QF, but at least we managed to qualify and Rudy Fernández will play his 6th and last Olympics.

Last minute change in line-up for the Men Singles: OUT Pablo Carreño IN Pedro Martínez Pablo Carreño will still play in Doubles with Marcel Granollers.
