I think the same, weird in extremis.

Kenya are not that far from RSA on current form. Kenya got promoted back up into the top tier of the 7s series this year, having been relegated last year. So it was a shock, but not a crazy shock.
 
 

It's a pity both GBR and RSA can't be in Paris. How RSA could lose to KEN in African qualis? What happened there?

There would be riots if that happened. 

I hope not, Switzerland 2030 would be so amazing.

I know I've beaten this into the ground on this forum but 53.61 in the 100 free is such a joke qualification time.
 
We are actually going to get something like 12 qualifiers in this event.
 
At the very least, World Aquatics should have kept the B standard at 3% of the OQT instead of reducing it to 0.5% of the OQT so that athletes with an A standard in another event could've possibly entered.

Men's speed qualified athletes by my calculation 

 Leonardo
 Wu
 Maimuratov
 Hammer
 Alipour
 Tkach
 Shin

After she already missed Tokyo due to a foot injury  
 
At least she can call herself an Olympian due to competing in Rio, but yeah....that sucks badly.

Sofia Ennaoui (athletics) will miss Olympics due to leg surgery 

Klaudia Kazimierska  W 1500m - 4.01.89 OQT today in Bydgoszcz 

they have a brand new state-of-the-art slalom canoeing venue already hosting international events in the next future and the dream team of college softball (with thousends of fans ready to show up at the games)...I think it's enough to earn the honors

Btw, the Dutch have brought 5 statues now. The one in the middle has to be Gullit so I guess it's all about football after all?

And high jumper Maryia Zhodzik from Belarus is allowed to represent Poland in Paris. She is qualified by entry standard, jumped 1.97. Her name is on the Road To Paris WA list now.

Very sad news for Dutch gymnastics fan as Eythora Thorsdottir breaks her foot. She is an amazing person and her presence will be missed very much in the TeamNL camp in the Olympic village.

46.88 for  Popovici in the men’s 100m freestyle 
 
3rd fastest mark all-time.
 
I think it’s safe to say that HE’S BACK. 

This is crazy. Poor guy. Hope he’ll be ok for olympics

Not on the touch. Looks like he celebrated too much 

No man, this can't be real. It's the first time when I cry for national team. 

not everybody is old enough to remember that WC  
 
Romania and Bulgaria were my favorite teams back then (behind Italy of course) . I was a kid and couldn't stay up after midnight to watch that match, I re-watched it in the morning without knowing the result and yeah the defeat was disappointing. but that was a hell of a match

W 100 fly WR if you haven't seen it yet
 
 

Opening ceremony kicks off at 8.24 p.m. CET
