    S. Coe just answeared that. There can't be any russian athletes competing under russian flag in any international competition (which includes the olympics). As far the IOC is concerned, they deal with the IAAF (not with national federation, nor with athletes) which is an association that counts 200 or so members, none of which representing Russia at the moment. You can't run under your own flag during the olympics if there is no national federation recognized by the ioc-recognized international sport federation (IAAF in that case).

    Yes.

    It's worth noting that Laurent Tillie doesn't believe in resting. Only Ngapeth will be missing this week-end. Then, we will side a full squad. It doesn't seem as a very bright idea from the outside with the Olympics around the corner. But, he obviously knows his players better than me. So who knows.

    Probably nothing that time, but maybe we might see IOC and IAAF moving to a fixed number of athletes by event more akin to other sport for future games (droping standards basically) ? Coe was allready admiting after the London Games that they had too many athletes qualified.

    I was not talking about an amateur blog post or something, but the official Swiss Tennis federation site. (It's the same text actually). IMO, it's better to wait the official draw of the mixed double before reaching any conclusion.

    On the french swiss tennis website, they only talk about their "wish" to play together. It doesn't read as an hard confirmation that they will.
  8. De_Gambassi
    Which was ?

    Hi, they will be in Hérouville (Normandy). You may find a streaming link somewhere, if not their facebook page will hopefully giving the results.

    First rounds should have started if I'm not mistaken. Yet we don't have any stream or live scoring.

    A disaster session apparently (52/45/45) And once again we will have a decisive France-Canada for olympic qualification.

    Mexico is out.

    It's beginning !

    French selection (no surprise at all) Men's single: - Richard Gasquet - Jo Wilfried Tsonga - Gaël Monfils - Gilles Simon Women's Single: Kristina Mladenovic Caroline Garcia Alizée Cornet Men's Double: Mahut-Herbert (aka the non selectable ones) Tsonga-Gasquet Women's double: Garcia-Mladenovic

    At that point, weightlifting could be used as a perfect pet-subject for a real harsh (and hopefully efficient) anti-doping policy: - Life ban for first offenders - Elimination of any record/medal won by a convicted doper - Systematic bans for federation with multiple doping offenders (≥ 2) - Frozen prize pools (4 years) - Reset of every reccords - etc. If it fails, then the sport is out of the olympics (and is likely going to die). If it success, then it could be used as a blue print for other sports.

    What about Argentina then ? From the little I've seen, they looked like a decent team also. By the way, Cuba's first half yesterday night was awful.
  22. De_Gambassi
    That's the less likely to happen exemple I've ever seen. Anyway, I - very suprisingly - happen to agree with Benolympique on that one. It's messy. There are too many informations for one table (and it's written too big also) You could also think of breaking up the table later on between medallist nations and non-medalist nations (the latter one beeing on spoiler)

    Ridiculous...

    Not necessarily, Fed/Davis Cup exemptions can only be given in cases of long term injuries (> six months), which was not the case here. IMO, as long as she is in good term with her federation (is she ?), the ITF will find a way to let her in Rio. But, it is not a given.
  25. De_Gambassi
    What will happen if the number of athletes qualified to Rio overpass the cap of 2,000 athletes set by the IAAF and the IOC ?
