in a game nobody cares about Nigeria outscored USA 19-6 in second quarter !! and now leading the game 40-26 at half time !

There were some important results for the Olympic ranking
 
Ali ElSawy lost the final which means he can't defend his 930pts from the previous continental champs. by losing something like 200pts the gap is very small between him and Vinicius Figeuira of Brazil.
 
Feryal Abdelaziz (+68kg) and Ibtisam Sadini (61kg) also improved their result from the previous edition and therefore increased their chance to grab that Afrian female quota. most probably it will be between one of those girls and Radwa Sayed who failed to improve from her silver medal in 2019 and won the silver medal once again.
 
I hope WKF acts fast again and updates the ranking today ! only 3 K1 events + European Champs left before the deadline.

qualified for the Fed Cup Final tournament

They did whatever they could to get rid of him. The Pistons would have got much more in return if they traded him a few weeks ago. Our dumbass owner and general manager are jokes. 

It's not that simple. You can't delete a contract in the NBA. Drummond has a player option at the end of the season and he can join whatever the team he wants, the Pistons could have lost him for nothing.

I just noticed the Oceania wrestling championship was cancelled. This means they won't be eligible to compete at the African/Oceania qualification event (unless they change the rules)

Asian cup in Turkmenistan has been postponed to unknown date due to Corona virus 

yes that's possible
 
but there are already two profiles for him , one for Iran, and one for UAE (empty profile though) with some differences in his surname

and people here wondering why Novak victory was special 

this will be the 2nd world Cup in history without Italy
 
so far and are in
 
and are qualified for the playoffs

This narrative going on with male tennis about Djokovic, Nadal or Federer  only their fanboys and specialized journalists can find it exciting. 

Thiem also wants to watch the men's junior pursuit at the biathlon youth/junior worlds apparently.

Sharapova was always accused of not being a real Russian and basically an American.
 
Anastasia Myskina and Elena Dementieva were in particular against her and Myskina flat out refused to play in the Russian Fed Cup team if Sharapova was selected as well. As it turned out Sharapova didn't make her Russian Fed Cup debut until 2008, basically the year after Myskina was forced to retire due to a persistent ankle injury.

Evgeniy Kafelnikov also went on a Sharapova rampage but he blasted everyone.

In an 1 month old article I just stumbled upon yesterday, Citra Febrianti hasn't received her silver medal years after London 2012 53kg women's medal officially reallocated. Her letter was ignored by the Weightlifting Federation and now she is attempting to meet the president...

He actually said after this match that he will go to the ski in Switzerland after the semis, he probably knows that Novak will beat him

Federer survives to another 5th set thriller and will play semis 

He just missed 7 match points in 4th set against Federer Federer won the set, 10-8, from 6-3 for Sandgren in 4th set tie-break

Continental quotas will be allocated after the qualification tournament in Paris  , it is secure
