As regards the transmission on Italian territory, further information will be provided in the next few days. Please remember that the TV streaming rights do not belong to FPI.

Motivated USA can be very dangerous too, I think

It looks like more motivated sides got what they wanted )

Not right now, I think. needs to beat in the 1/8. It looks impossible

Meanwhile beaten and proceed to to 1/8 in women sabre team world cup. Thus it means almost for sure that all 4 zones will be represented at the Olympics and no additional spot for the 5th place in ranking will be available.

has a great boxing tradition but after the success of 2012 new generations failed to to stay on the top. We have brought back to the office the head coach of that famous team from 2012 recently. But he had no time to bring fundamental changes. At the same time we could have representation in all 13 events like . The reason is clear - judges are affiliated with AIBA, and AIBA is affiliated with russia. I hope the IOC tried to do something with this. But I doubt if it was possible at all. Because of these 2 reasons I do not expect a lot of licenses for us. P.S. The only license was gotten in this way by our only Tokyo medalist.

Absolutely - absence of liivestream is a clear way to manipulate with the results. Quataion from the head of Ukrainian Boxing Federation after the European Games: I think the IBA had a hand in this refereeing, given the facts, but the IOC didn't understand it at the time, because it was the first time they had a licensed boxing tournament without the IBA. After the semi-final matches, I personally met with the representative responsible for boxing at the IOC and said that some Ukrainian and boxers from other countries were simply condemned unfairly. He replied that he understands these mistakes and already disqualified 8 judges, apologized for such a situation, because this was the first experience and everything will change for the better in the future. I saw that he really admits his mistakes in organizing a competition of this level

Broadcast is scheduled at Olympic channel on Youtube but starting from the 9th of March only https://www.youtube.com/@Olympics/streams

They started the technical meeting and draw at 17:00. I wonder how much time do they need to publish results?

So we have a draw for tomorrow`s women sbare world cup https://www.fencingworldwide.com/en/12156-2023/direct/1 Finally, and are not to face each other in the 1/4. But it means potentionally a very important clash of Italy and USA at this stage. @phelps

Gold medal, but the greatest problem for us - Omelchuk still did not win an Olympic license ((

Silver for Maguchich - is not exact what was expected, but it is a medal anyway for ))) Of course it looks like all the high jumpers are preparing for summer and it is not their best form. Especially I was very suprised by the jumps of Topic at this champs.

It was so close...

And show must go on. russians filed 3(!) appeals to CAS (from ROC, national skating federation and all the team mebers including Valieva). Their demand: ROC team must be awarded with gold medals... including Kamila Valieva.

russians announced today that UCI recalculated(!) points and added one more license to women road race for russia. o_O

I think just does not have enough motivation. But at the same time - it was the best performance of in thie men`s epee qualification period. We lost to in the QF at the priority minute only and were ahead with 11 seconds to the end. So the team proved that it is not as weak as it was several months ago. Of course it is too late to fight for Olympic quota. But with the return of Svichkar we can find our way to strengthen our raking position.

I do not think so - Olympic season is the reason.

Squad confirmed with the only exception - Chumachenko Yulia will not compete. So we will have 6 athletes

will have a very small team M High Jump: Protsenko Andriy*, Doroshuk Oleg* W High Jump: Maguchich Yroslava, Levchenko Yulia, Chumachenko Yulia* (reserve Herashenko Iryna) Pentathlon: Loban Yulia 60m (Hurdles): Plotitsyna Hanna* Athletes marked with * are waiting for invitations from World Athletics. Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk widthdew due to injury.

It is very similar to the case of Grace Reed in figure skating. She got "sport citizenship" from Lithuania - so she could compete at the Euros and Worlds. But she needed "normal" citizenship to compete at the Olympics.

Impressive performance from Wiffin!!! And a solid one from Romanchuk. He did it much better than at 800m

Surely. As well as miss the podim at all ))

It`s not an easy question. As far as I knew Ukrainian coach works with Romanian team so it could be one more important argument. But in general it should be addressed to the IOC mostly. It is a result of its policy to reduce costs reducing the number of athletes but not their "administrative expenses". We have 10 weight classes in women wrestling and only 6 of them are olympic ones. Thus younger athletes from strong teams have very little chance to compete at the top international level right now. 65 kg is not Olympic weight, so the closest Olympic weight is 62 kg. Ukraine has Koliadenko and Tkach-Ostapchuk in this weight right now. Thus if an athlete does not want to wait for his/her Olympic chance for years - the only way is to switch sport nationality. Of course it is a great chance to get/lose real diamond. And it happend in the past. Ukrainians won 4 medals for thir new countries at this Championships: Zelenykh (ROM), Stadnik and Kolesnik (AZE), Lysak (POL). And wrestling is not the only case. Great example from canoe sprint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canoeing_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_C-1_200_metres 4 Ukrainians in finals A and B at men`s canoe 200m: 1. Cheban 2. Demyaneko 6. Kraitor 12. Tarnovsky At the 2024 Olympics men`s canoe sprint will have only 2(!!!) disciplines instead of 4 ones in Atlanta 1996. Thus in general, the reason - is the IOC`s policy.
