Quasit

Michelle Fazzari... who won gold at the Rome ranking tournament this year but did not compete at the World Qualifiers has been diagnosed with cancer. 

Not easy to break it down but this should be my Top 12.
I'm also a bit more concerned with the music than the text, but it depends.

And yes, I've listened to all national anthems.  

No, but...

She is still in National Team and among the top players. But her performance can't compete the 4 girls above and currently ranked 5th I guess.

I decided to take a few pics while I was out in the fields earlier:

Amazing weekend for Germany, 6 gold medals in the Olympic events. 

Was hoping for Lithuania to do the same.  

with 6 crews going to the Olympics, amazing  

The Dutch women's eight misses out on the Olympics for the first time since 1992.

So proud of Anneta Kyridou 
She dominated the women's single sculls. She has been through so much over the past five years and especially after the last two years. She never gave up though. Pausing her education to fully focus on training, her mother getting cancer, fainting at a training camp, filing a lawsuit against the federation, switching from W2X to LW2X to W1X within the past 20 months, and making it to the Olympics at just 22 years old in a difficult event.
 
She didn't get the chance to qualify at the 2019 World Championships because her partner in W2X got injured at the last moment, and then at the European Qualifying Regatta last month she fell into the water a few minutes before the race. This was basically her one chance to qualify and she did amazing.
 
Greece now being represented in Tokyo in the women's single sculls for the first time since 1996 I think.

M4x qualify! 

Yesss!!!!  W4 are going to the Olympics 

I think that's is over for us.

Zverev beats Nadal 6-4, 6-4 in Madrid Masters 1000 QF!!! 

very impressive quota for Kuosmanen
 
yes he won his QF and SF both 1-1. but I don't think that was intentional. impressive because he was probably 30kg lighter than his opponents.
 
I have to repeat again that he is a 97kg wrestler but since Finland already qualified Savolainen in that weight he had no other option to try his chance at 130kg.
 
this is interesting that both talented Finnish wrestlers are in the same weight !

QUALIDIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately is the reflection of what is happening in the country, less and less support for the sport hence the poor results Venezuela has been giving starting some 4-5 years ago that will hit hard bottom from now on unless something happens
 
 

Takatani was great, I watched all his matches today. Great fighter! 

Boris Combat sport quota
 
Frst ever Muslim who will compete for at the Olympics.   What a day of history !
 

 
 

I seriously doubt it.   First he still has to qualify which is definitely far to be a certainty. Would be huge if he will compete in Tokyo, our combat sport extremely need it. But a medal, this is a too long shot. There plenty of most famous and stronger qualified countries in his category.
 
Anyway our wrestling federation started an ambitious long term project with the goal, not less than two medals and four wrestlers in Paris 2024. 

Perhaps Carlos Yulo in Men's Floor.

So peaceful they don’t have a standing army 
 
They also have a very good education system (from my understanding) as an added bonus. Generally enjoy high rankings in press freedom, democratic stability, and general happiness as well. 

The only thing worth in Costa Rica it's their natural environment, which every other country on Earth should envy.
 
Outside that, their infrastructure is pretty limited and basic, as I'm by every single friend of mine that has visited the country.
And as many has stated, rather have it at the hall of some nice hotel, instead of a poorly maintained public venue.
 
Still, who didn't want to live in a rather peaceful country, with beautiful natural places and acceptable public services?

YESSSSSS!!!! Tokyo here we come!!!  

Both have qualified!
