Denmark women's football team face World Cup expulsion after Sweden match cancelled after pay row

European Championships starting today in Berlin: live results schedule from the results thread

Not official, but I guess there's going to be a Final Six...the Round Robin will consist of 120 matches and FIVB says that there will be 130 matches in total.

Sanchez tested positive in August 2017...he won't lose his 2008 medal.

Yes, it goes like that but with no more than 2 UEFA teams (and no more than 1 team from any other confederation) in the same group...it's similar to the Champions League draw.

Teams that have qualified or can still qualify ordered by FIFA ranking (that will be used for the draw): So if the teams with the higher ranking all qualify next month we will have these pots:

That picture of Mennea and Wells is of the 1980 Olympics. And the WR set by Mennea in 1979 was 19"72.

Apparently they would also count the "fair play points" (essentially yellow and red cards) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#Tiebreakers

But Canada had the best team: Van Haaren, born in 1998, with Nattrass, born in 1950, who competed at her first WCh in 1971 !

Trap mixed team: Gold Grice - Smith (Australia 2) Silver Bailon - Martinez (Spain 1) Bronze Haldeman - Carroll (USA 1)

Fognini expelled from the tournament after heavily insulting the umpire during his 1st round match (that he lost, but he was still in the doubles). He will be fined and risks a ban from future tournaments (and he deserves it).

thanks, so I was right when I wrote that there is only one (mixed) team event

Where is the draw of the team event?

This format for the final is much better than the previous one. At least ISSF got something right.

Yes but not for all games...can you tell me the name of a game which is currently played in e-sports competitions that needs physical abilities (reflexes, coordination,...) and it's not a simulation of an existing sport and it's not violent ?

I can't answer to the poll formulated in this way...there are worse events in the Olympics, despite being show and entertainment rather than sports. But which video games could be used to play? I can't think of a game which: - requires some physical abilities (so not purely strategic games / mind games); - is not a sport simulation (there is already the real version); - is not based on violence, killing,...

It should be added that a country can't have more than 9 men and 9 women competing in the individual events...Japan selected 2 women in categories where both had higher chance for gold so they had no spots left for the -63kg.
