    1 quota to be decided by the Top Lists
  2. Olympian1010
    If doesn’t qualify for the final that’s all the W 4x100m quotas decided...

    Man, poor exchange cost Ireland a potential Olympic quota there. What a surprise that would have been!
  4. Olympian1010
    knocked off the bubble, still in contention
  5. Olympian1010
    Unless I’m mistaken...the remaining 4 quotas will be distributed through the Top Lists.

    Yes, there were upstream gates. Yes, there was whitewater. I think the course set was just pretty straightforward and not too difficult. The event is being livestreamed to Facebook if you want to check it out. Just look up the Planet Canoe FB page and there’s a link to the livestream there.

    Ran for about a week, then it got too cold for my liking so I stopped for a few days, and then my lazy ass never got off the couch. My current university semester ends in a week though, so I’m going to will myself back into some sort of activity for the summer.

    Puerto Rico has withdrawn its candidacy for the 2022 Central American and Caribbean Games. This leaves El Salvador as the only remaining bidder.

    Nice explanatory video for those less “in the know” about F1 (or for causal fans) about the sprint qualification.

    Like others said, this was a surprisingly difficult choice. I went with canoeing, but sailing and artistic swimming were close to getting my vote.

    Wonder why didn’t enter WK1? Looking at the 2018 Asian Games results, they would have stood a pretty good chance at a quota here.

    Netball is women only from what I know. Korfball is mixed, but not open. Flying Disc is also mixed, but not open. Air Sports has events that are open. Wheelchair Rugby is open from what I know.

    Here’s the new, revamped, officially launched website: https://www.lakeplacid2023.com

    In case anyone is confused by the situation, Draughts is a WADA signatory (I believe), and that’s why the Russian flag had to be removed and name tag changed.

    I’m completely fine with Mixed Events long as they don’t have comical formats, or make a joke of the sport. Essentially, if they work as a legitimate, competitive event...I’m cool with them being on the program. So my favorites are: Mixed Doubles (Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton) Mixed Relay (Triathlon) Nacra 17 (Sailing) Mixed Recurve (Archery)

    Damn, we lost a representative. It’s the first time we’ve lost a representative since becoming a state
  18. Olympian1010
    I’m not sure about that.

    CGAs qualified in Women’s T20 Cricket - + a team representing the West Indies to be determined at a direct qualification event

    Good tournament for Singapore

    I really like Kabaddi. Obviously it would need to gain much more international appeal and participation in order to justify a position on the program. It’s a relatively cheap sport at base level, since there’s not really any specialty equipment needed. It’s quite different from most of the other team sports on the program. A good mix of speed, agility, strategy, and technique is needed to win. Plus, I personally find it highly enjoyable to watch.

    If the IOC was willing to accept additional quotas, then they could use a modified version of the PanamSports model. 16 fencers from teams (2 from each), and then 16 individual fencers per event. That would be a reduction of 2 quotas per individual event, but you’d actually end up with more countries competing, and possibly better individual competitions.
  24. Olympian1010
    I too see a Mixed Weapon Team Event (either by gender, or mixed) as a possible alternative, but I know there’s a lot of resistance to something like that within the Fencing community.
  25. Olympian1010
    Right, the team events severely limit participation in Fencing. If the FIE/IOC wanted to increase participation, they’d have to reform how quotas are distributed for teams events, or drop the team events all together.
