  1. From the creators of World Taekwondo, and makers of World Athletics and World Archery comes this winter’s newest hit, World Aquatics
  2. 17 yellow cards for those who lost count, and yes, that is a WC record according to US commentators
  3. I was just about to make a similar comment
  4. Another interesting nugget from that press release in relation to Winter Olympics: “A number of proposals which could have an impact on future elections were discussed, including rotation of the Games within a certain pool of hosts, minimum climate conditions and existing infrastructure criteria.”
  5. A noteworthy proposal from today’s Olympic Summit… ”In the course of the debate, the Acting President of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) stated that, on the Asian continent, the reasons for the protective measures no longer exist. The OCA offered to facilitate the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in competitions in Asia under its authority, while respecting the sanctions in place.” Link to longer press release: https://olympics.com/ioc/news/declaration-of-the-11th-olympic-summit
  6. Assuming @intoronto and I have interpreted the qualification system correctly, Brazil will have to hope for a reallocation or two if they want to send any athletes in waterski. I don’t think any quotas were reallocated in 2019, but Brazil turned down a few in 2015 (which allowed the Dominican Republic and Guatemala to qualify), so maybe someone will return the favor this time. is qualified for both wakeboard events.
  7. I would interpret the qualification system that way too. is the only NOC not to qualify in that case. You have to wonder how much longer waterski sticks around if there’s less than a dozen countries with a national program in the sport?
  8. “How can you be apolitical when it’s a world tournament with countries’ teams and countries is politic(s)?” Pretty much my response to people who play the “international sports should be apolitical card.” My attitude from the start has been that I will watch the World Cup because it’s an event that I enjoy. However, I will take every opportunity to remind people of the larger context this tournament is taking place under
  9. Breaking quotas from the 2022 European Championships. Men - Women -
  10. EOC announced the qualified teams earlier this week. appears to have declined quotas in both genders, meaning gets a quota in the men’s tournament, and of gets a quota in the women’s tournament.
  11. I really feel for anyone watching v. because this v. match is one of the best of the tournament.
  12. If I’m not mistaken, this World Cup will feature the least amount of UEFA/CONMEBOL nations in the Round of 16.
  13. showing their class… They played well, it’s unfortunate they left the pitch attacking the referee like that.
  14. Anyone down for a trip to Melilla to watch the game?
  15. @intoronto @mrv86 just remember this when we find a way to get eliminated in the Round of 48 on home turf
