I wondered why Egyptian women’s team did so badly this time

yes i meant in Swimming long Course WCHs , Congrats 

First ever at the world championships yes  
Wiffen finished 4th in both 800m and 1500m last year. Hoping he can bring home another medal in the 1500m.

First ever medal at the long course world championships
 
We’ve had Olympic, world short course, European (LC + SC) but never a world long course medal

Two gold medals for South Korea

Cote d'Ivoire didn't forget the favor of Morocco did to them , but what about Ghana Gk and Mozambique 

If CIV wins the tournament will the fired coach after the preliminary round also receive the gold medal ?

it's really stupid to have a 3rd place match! just because someone may withdraw later!  nobody ever rejected a continental quota in Taekwondo and doping disqualification is also rare in this sport. these 3rd place matches are absolutely useless.
 
last night GEQ girl even celebrated her 3rd place match win with the flag and more. I don't know what she was told but she looked like someone who doesn't know there are only 2 quotas available 

and at the end Egypt and Nigeria grabbed the last two quotas at women's 67kg. both very very one-sided matches
 
 
if we consider the top seeds. only two seed 1 athletes failed to qualify and both are from Morocco. Laaraj (W57) and Bassel (M+80)
 
Tunisia is the only African country with 2+2 quotas. perfect tournament for them 

What a pity for Jordan. They had great chances and imagine the impact if that ball placed with the heel would have found the net! But of course the refs made more than possible that Qatar would win.
One thing though I don't understand. Are Iraq and Jordan that much rivals in football? Because I suspect there is a certain amount of rivalry between every Arab nation but this as you put it it means more than that to me.

The football is, probably, the only sport when the technology not only improve the sport, this is even worst than before.
 
Only the Fifa can make that posible.

Afif scores hattrick from 3 penalties  Qatar wins for 2nd time in a row , i didn't watch the match , but 3 penalties in the final for the hosts looks really weird  

VAR was assuring that no team lose intentionally wins Asian Cup @MHSN

First day draw
https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=959000332455010&set=pcb.959000479121662
 
only 5 competitors in women's +67kg and men's 80kg
 
in Africa some athletes always withdraw before the draw. there are only 5 athletes registered for women's 67kg (will be held on Sunday) I won't be surprised if couple of them withdraw and someone qualifies for the Olympics without throwing a kick
