And do you know what results counts for the Olympic qualification?

Recent interviews from russia suggests that all the national team rejected participation in the Olympic games under the white flag. It does not mean for sure that they will not send boxers to the qualifier but it looks probable at the moment.

I hope an appeal will fix this. Or ISU will do it voluntary (looks like a miracle now).

A very strange mathematics from ISU. https://isu.org/isu-news/news/145-news/14898-isu-statement-decision-of-cas-kamila-valieva-roc2?templateParam=15 Since Valieva is DSQ every nation below should get 1 more point. So Canada must get 9+9 instead of 8+8. That means 55 points and bronze medal in totoal for Canada.

And it shows what a chaos in olympic qualification was brought by russian reinstatement. They stole chances of other wrestlers to win licenses at the World Championships. The licenses sholud be redistributed. It would be fair. Futhermore, if the "dumpsters" are not officially stripped of their "licenses" before the Olympic license tournaments russia will not be able to send another wrestlers in their weights to take part. UWW and IOC are "clever" as usual.

I do not think so. Poland is safe enough. It looks like we can get quotas together. Standings before Vancouver

Some good news from European Gymnastics. This continental body decided not to reinstate russian and belorussian athletes. So they will miss European Championships next year where the last quotas will be contented.

She has not enough games at Billie-Jean Cup. But Ukrainian federation announced today that she is going to play against Roamnia next year. So it looks like she will get the quota herself.

Svitolina said recently in the interview, that she talked about this legacy quoat and was told she would get it if needed. But she is going to play one more tounament for the national team next year before the Games. So she hopes she will need that legacy quota.

That moment looked much more suspicious after the word spoken by the head of the UEFA before the game and strange decision of the referee not to go to watch the replay. Porentially dangerous free kick after the clear faul on Dovbyk was ignored too. I do not want to complain - that was a game of equal contenders. And draw is logical outcome in some way. But such an episode is reason to use VAR in football. If the referee did not use it I cannot imagine a fair reason. Thus it looks like we are getting closer to video challenges in football. So many sports successfully use them. I do not see any fair reason to avoid of this in football.

4 matches vs in a single day? And the score is level - 2:2. The tie will be decided in football ))

FIE discussed the reform this autumn. But decided: It is notable that Katsiadakis was the head of the working group established to reform qualification process. The members had to submit new proposals until the 15th of September. But noone (including Katsiadakis) sent. It looks like all of them were to busy to find a way to allow Pozdnyakovs daughter to compete as AIN.

Talking about chances of Ukraine is not so easy. Preparations are much harder for our athletes as well as qualifications. It will be not the prediction of medals but the list of medal chances. So I will not be surprised with this medal outcomes: - 2 medals in Diving. 10m (Men). Single and Synchro. Our girls missed a lot due to injuries. - 3 in Swimming. Romanchuk (800m + 1500m) changed approach after a bad season, Zheltyakov is a gteat talant n backstoke. - 2 in Artistic Swimming. Hard to predict under the new rules. But the chances are real. - 4 in Canoe. K4 - men (the best in recent years); C1 (W) and C2(W) - Luzan`s partner is going to be back after pause, wildwater for Us (we are traditionally doing well in new sports or disciplines - 6 of 19 medals in Tokio, for example). - 4 in Artistic Gymnastics. All for men - AA, PV, PB + HB/PV/TE. - 4 in Wrestling. 2 in WW (Koliadenko, Hrushina) and 2 in GR (Belenyuk and young talanted Vyshnevetsky). - 2 in Shooting. Kostevych and Korostyliov in some combination. - 4 in Athletics. 2 in women HJ, Kohan in HT and Bekh in Triple Jump. - 3 in Judo. Bilodid, Lytvynenko and Yadov at least. - 2 in Fencing. Kharlan and Company in sabre. - 1 in Boxing. Khyznyak wants to fix his Tokyo fail. - 1 in Weightlifting. Great chance for Konotop, but only if we allowed to compete in weightlifting, of course. - 1 in Breaking - one more new discipline and a chance for our girls. - 1 in Football. Of course the draw will be very important. It does not mean other athletes do not have chances (there are some young talants like Felfner, some injured like Khammo) but their medals would be some king of surprise. So 34 in total. But we have to divide it by 2 to take into account different circumstances. So 17 medals - is a realistic result for us. 20 will be a very good one. And I do not expect a lof of gold. It is not so easy to prepare under the russian bombs. So every medal would cost twice.

Decision on rus and blr teams participation in 2026 Olympic hockey tournament is expected by March 2024.

I am very surprised they allowed russians to come. Hope, Albania will send them back from the airport. It is absolutely clear: UWW is ignoring facts of war-support by russians. So they do not do their job according to the IOC recommendations. The consequences were obvious: if sport authorities do not want to do their job it will be done by governments. And the IOC has to blame itself only for all the "govermnent interventions in sports". They could stop UWW from doing that cynical steps to allow participation of Sadulaev and company. But the IOC was quiet.

I am adraid - no ( Our federaion tried to get different starters in RR and TT at the previous edition of Olympics but was not allowed to do this.

We still have questions about rus. Since russian NOC (ROC) is officially suspended and cannot perform its functions as the NOC according to the IOC statement ROC cannot accept quoats.

Incredible game for Ukraine. We had a comfortable lead in the second set and it could have ended 3:0 in favour of our team. But Darlan was the men who made it bottom up. Superb game from Brazilian star.

Congratulations! That was really cool!

You think russians will not be allowed to qualify?

3 maximum. But the next years quotas will be harder to win since russians are expected to fught for them

Hope you will get more individual quotas next year. Israel deserve it

Thank you. But i am a bit shcoked - got a team license. Despite of that terrible performance at the HB...

So, as far as I understand, for example Illia Kovtun will be able to get his own quotas under the Criteria 4 (All around)? And that makes 2 quotas in total for Ukraine: 1 under the criteria 3 and 1 under the criteria 4.
