Yes, they will count for individual rankings as well. Nations Cup events are notified as CDIO, CCIO and CSIO in the calendar.

Yes and no. There isn't a specific list of qualification events yet, but the calendars for 2019 are available here.
 
For dressage all CDI3*/4*/5* and CDI-W events will count, as well as European Championships and Pan American Games.
For eventing all CCI4*/5* events will count, together with the Europeans (but not Pan Ams).
For jumping all CSI3*/4*/5* and CSI-W can count, but FEI will publish as the year goes which of these events will actually count (there are certain requirements, though I don't really know much about them)..
 

I think most world class athletes want to fight all other world class athletes no matter their nationality.

I doubt there is a nice guy, but Gafur Rakhimov of Uzbekistan is the mobster boss/AIBA president.

No, host is guaranteed one male and one female only if it doesn't obtain any qualified athletes per gender in normal qualification pathways. So Japan now has 4 quotas in male + 1 guaranteed in female, and the male host country quota will be reallocated as an all-around quota in 2019 WC in Stuttgart.
 
For the other question, yes, 4 quotas per team

she did never played at the Olympic Games, but she was part of the Italian women's Volleyball team that won the 2002 World Championships...
 
Sara Anzanello died earlier today at the age of 38, after a long fight against the consequences of a fulminant epatitis she got in 2013 while playing her club Volley in Azerbaijan (she did have a liver transplant too, 5 years ago)...

R.I.P.

They were but the IOC scrapped the planned year change last year, hence why the next Summer Youth Olympics will be held in 2022, not 2023 as originally planned.

don't worry, unfortunately you're right...
 
in any case, this is already a "not Italian bid"...
this is a pure Lombardy & Veneto regions bid...
if, for any reason, it's going to succeed, it would be only "our" (I'm a proud citizen of Milan, even if I'm against this bid) thing (Rome's government is only needed to approve the bid), with 100% local funding...and, as usual, 0 interest in the Country outside the usual 3 regions where Winter Sports are played and have their hardcore fans (apart for those very few exceptions, of course)...
 
and please, don't think I'm arrogant and harsh on my Country...it's only because I know very well how things works here (unfortunately I'm not that young anymore and I've seen a lot of those things really difficult to understand from outside Italy)...

We all know, don’t worry

This is HUGE news for gymnastics: the girl from Costa Rica qualified to the all-around final in artistic gymnastics.

This is especially surprising because she did not qualify to the YOG "normally" -- she was the first reserve, and two weeks ago she was officially announced as a qualifier because the US gave up their quota. And now she will be in an Olympic final. AMAZING!
 

Right, but he's part Trump, part Hitler. He's been quoted (and recorded on video) saying that pretty women should be raped, that he raised his sons well so they would never date a black woman, that parents should be allowed to beat hard their male kids so these kids would not be gay in the future... And one of his sons, who has been elected senator, said that parents should have the right to kill a gay son. Bozo and his son are criminals. Sons, actually. There are two more, and they all take part in politics, unfortunately. Bozo does not even respect his own daughter. He said in a speech that she's the result of him being weak (like, he was weak when he had sex, so she was born a girl, not a boy). What a sick man.
 

"Hey, Sagan is riding for Movist...waaaait.."
 
This really needs some getting used to
 

Not really unfair if it was known beforehand, which I guess it was. Should have finished higher there then  

"Skaters X and Y didn't make it to the final, so Merijn Scheperkamp could potentially make it to the medals. To do so..." (this is where I started thinking "Great, now we'll hear what he has to do for a medal") "....he will have to skate well and get enough points."
 

 
Thanks commentator. Next time please tell me how to win the 100m freestyle swimming. I am guessing that to do so one will have to swim well and finish fast enough?

Why isn't gymnastics being streamed? Argh!

and the best ever pokemon trainer now is also a YOG bronze medallist representing Italy

After over an hour of chit-chat,  Dakar has now officially been confirmed as host of the 2022 Youth Olympics. 
(Not really a surprise, as they were the only candidate)

Senegal's President, Macky Sall, says the country are set to construct a 50,000 capacity Olympic Stadium, as well as renovating another stadium.
