You can add Miha Licef to that list (42nd)

A couple more observations from this… First off, confirmation of quotas gained from the 2023 Central-South American Laser Sailing Championship last week: M ILCA7 - W ILCA6 - Second, there were some reallocation criteria used to allocate the remaining quota in skiff events: was awarded the additional ninth quota in men’s 49er on the basis of their result at the 2023 US Open Series (in accordance with the first criteria for reallocation). was awarded a boat quota in the women’s 49erFX on the basis of their result at the 2022 World Championships (in accordance with the second/third criteria for reallocation). were awarded boat quotas in the women’s 49erFX via world ranking (in accordance with the fourth criteria for reallocation), since the two regional qualification events were not held, and they did not register a result at the 2022 World Championships. Lastly, every country who earned automatic entry from the 2021 Junior Pan American Games has now qualified two boats in that class (as allowed). It will be interesting to see if that affects race dynamics in Santiago.

He had good results at the last Winter Olympics as well This will probably be a horrible jinx for the seasons to come, but between him and Verdú, the future of winter sports looks bright for

Those might be salvageable if the event is moved to the first quarter (maybe even early second quarter) of 2024.

I found it oddly gripping on the first listen. It’s definitely grown on me too. I’ve seen a lot of people saying the staging should be more grand, but I think the stripped down look works for a song like that. I wouldn’t be completely shocked if it did well in Liverpool, but it might struggle to stand out amongst the crowd.

Actually, 49er gained a boat quota (8 to 9), while 49erFX and Nacra-17 lost two boat quotas (8 to 6) Edit: have qualified in all Olympic classes as well, though neither has confirmed any quotas yet.

is back on the men’s side with a potential debut at the world championships (I’d need to check results from the last few to confirm.) all on the start list for the men’s 10km. Too bad the Winter Pan American Games no longer exist

You could also chalk that up to the University Games being a well established, and somewhat notable, competition for biathlon and alpine events, as where that’s not really the case for freestyle events. They already have the X Games, Dew Tour, US Open, etc.

U.S Song Selection It was an exciting year for the American jury. We gained a jury member and held our first ever national selection contest. There were three songs that emerged from the semifinals as contenders, but only that rose above the rest. We hope you enjoy the song as much as our jury members did. Without further ado, we present the U.S entry for the 2023 TISC Annual Song Contest… Judah & the Lion - scream! Lyrics

They could at least (legally) get some high antioxidant wild blueberries if this was in Kontiolahti

In fairness, it would be rather newsworthy if someone won every single event in their gender at any world championship. It’s one thing to be the best on a single day, other thing entirely to be the outright best on multiple days, across multiple distances, and different weather conditions.

Their national champs caused a bit of controversy last year, so he’ll have to place well if he wants the same kind of media attention with a young skier on the start list as well. Nice to see them with another winter sport representative. internal battle might be interesting as well. Their YOG skier and Beijing 2022 representative are both in the field.

Not one to be outdone by his sister, Henry Sildaru tore his ACL during the slopestyle competition at the EYOF (explains why he was a DNF in the final). They’re both out for the season, which is a tough blow for

The process was different for Tokyo, as everyone had national ticket vendors, but there was also a lottery followed by a few different free-for-all tickets sales. I asked for 12 pairs of tickets in the initial lottery, and only got one of those, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t succeed at first. I was ultimately able to get most of the tickets I wanted before Covid axed those plans.

One of those lines you read, and think, “damn, wish I would have wrote that.”
