I think olympic program is now too big, so in my opinion is no good to add new sports. Instead, i like to remove someone: skating, artistic swimming, trampoline, breaking are better out of the games.

If i need to choose someting, i think its' better to improve rugby, from 7 to 15. Then, baseball/softball and karate would have to right to compete. No other, please no other

She just need to get a single points. A top30 in WC should be enough 

Not so easy

The only problems with new rules are the ranking system, all qualified athletes should have at last 1 points to compete. 

At the African Champions the only event so far that didn't give any points is the women's skeet, so we'll have some problems just there. For now 

For give ranking points,an event would be at least with 15 shooters. 

In there anybody here who knows how to find the Serbian Open Taekwondo results? @nenad? Thanks

The omnium format is incredibly stupid, the first 3 events are pretty much pointless.

The problem is only one. Track lenght. 250 meters are too short. When tracks are 333,33 meters long, every competition was much better: madison, points race (then, omnium), sprint, was much more clear and spectacular.  

Gracenote is a statistical site, not a tecnhical site. Algorythms are based on numerical data.
So, for Italy 20 gold is quite impossible. But about 15 is my optimistical hope. Then, in the olympic games it's easy that a gold becomes a silver medal... or otherwise. 

For Italy:
- Aziz MOUHEDINE (boxing)
- Fencing team foil M
- Fencing team foil W
- Simone ALESSIO (Taekwondo)
- Volleyball M team

It's very old rumour. Due to Olympics I doubt this will happen since I see them participating in at least 8 sports at the games. Having a Russia International Games in 2025 will be fun though

Russians athlete will partecipate in Paris 2024, albeit in reduced team. 
They are probably qualified in:
- judo;
- tennis;
- fencing (individual);
- cycling bmx
- wrestling

Qualificate to the final from the 1st semifinals: 2x , 1x

 

 

There is a small (almost impossible) chances to absign the Olympic Quotas already today.

Not so impossible. In B semifinal, now there are only 2 new NOC (:ESP and :BEL) in comparison A semi. And behind them, Castaudi of France and Krenkova from CZE near them. Other possible finalist, are Guzi from HUN (good) and Oziuksel from TUR (no good). 

For me, there are good chances for 8, maximum 9 NOCS in final..

European games do not give places for teams, Archery: they will grant 1 individual place per gender through the mixed test and 2 individual places in each gender, for shooters from countries that do not classify the team. Team quota place in Europe will be from June 3 to 9, 2024

Definitevely, not. Teams european places will be assigned in CQT, Essen in may 2024.

Well, I've been writing since the start that Serbia isn't top quality any more, there was a change in generations in the team and we probably will never have that kind of team again. So, making to the top 6 would be a success but at this point I think it's 50-50 chance. Yeah, we could beat GB but we aren't clear cut favorites there and after that we take the L vs Belgium for sure, so probably Italy for the top 6. And again I don't see us as favorites there. We blew it up vs Hungary even though we could lose by 4 and had an easy draw for SF. But we played horribly wrong that match. 

Really you think that against ITA it's 50-50? This sounds good for me. Italy is a team with good centers, with a discontinous star like Zandalasini, without playmaking. For me, Yvonne Anderson can kill to us. Actually, there would be a rising star in squad, Matilde Villa. But our coach seem doesn't tink so.

you can write Italy off

 

we're gonna face  in the play-off match and we're gonna go home with no place in the top 8 nor in the OQT.

 

as usual...   

I think ISR can beat CZE. Maybe i'm the only one, but for me Israel is much more strong. 

What is happened in Chatsworth'S eventing? Only 25 finished on about 80 

This is my same mistake. Waida is not eliminated, because there is a discard.

Okay, I’ve got a question about how this works quota wise then? 
 

Hypothetically, if Deplano is the only Italian swimmer to swim a OQT in the men’s 50m freestyle during the qualification period, but he fails to do so at any of the championships counted by the federation, would they still turn down a quota in the event?

 

Basically, I’m asking if quota places should still be provisionally awarded to Italy here, or if there’s a possibility they will be declined.

Italiana system is a little bit complicate.

Italian federation's standard Times are used like trials. There are some distances (100 br w, 100 fs m) with many strong athtletes. In any case, Italy not decline quotas, but add swimmers at the end of qualification period

Remember that Italy doesn't count time limit for Paris this year. This meeting is valid only for Fukuoka.

I wasn't really paying attention to qualifying yet.   What's the status of Russia and Belarus ? I know IOC wants them to participate but are they in any qualifications events in any sports ? 

Obviusly, if IOC decides to include them, Russia and Belarus will partecipate at qualifyng tournaments. But yes, today we would have some russian qualificated: tennis, BMX freestyle, judo, boxing are sports- and rankings - with russians.

Considering that we haven't even seen Russian athletes in most sport events for a year now and their country is quite segregated because of the war, I am not sure how they be trusted. I mean, even before the war the Russian anti-doping system was the most untrustworthy in the entire world, now it might as well not exist anymore. The only Russian athletes who should be considered as potential neutral participants are the ones who train outside of Russia, preferably in a country where a proper anti-doping system is in place. 

the same in china during covid pandemic: for two years, no one could entry.

For men, almost sure 2 athletes for , , , there are 7 surfers for 4 places. 
Two from , and one each for   , , ,   ,  

what do we mean? That all this is nonsense. As reiterated, this is already how it works in tennis and no one is talking about a boycott. That it would seem anti-political for Ukraine to boycott the games in Paris, at the home of one of its major allies. That politics and sport should remain separate. That the best answer ever is a beautiful photo, dating back to Rio, of two gymnasts, a North Korean and a South Korean exchanging affection. In that picture is my answer. I miss Samaranch, I even miss Rogge (manager without praise but above all without infamy or damage) and I don't understand why Bach is still there. That, while condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there are other wars in the world today, in the history of games, even recent, there have also been countries that have admitted invaders, such as China militarily occupying Tibet and everything is fine. That Britain militarily occupies several corners of the world and that's all right.

On tennis, the are russian and belarussian player. Why no one speak on them, and on the olympics everyone says "boycott, boycott"? 

This is stupid.
