Katibin losing creates an interesting situation too. Mulyono is probably their third best climber at the moment, but now he has a quota.

There are still two races left on the youth series (both in Innsbruck), but the following NOCs are in a very good position to win at least one quota. M Monobob - W Monobob - M Skeleton - W Skeleton - A rather eclectic list of nations at the moment. Unless a handful of new nations show up in Innsbruck, there will be quite a few nations getting more than one quota in each event.

Same results system as PNG 2015 and some of the recent North American multi-sports games. Link: https://www.sol2023.com.sb/schedule/

Yes, Grand Final and associated events will be delayed until next weekend due to technical issues.

That is a the common nickname or moniker for Minnesota in the US.

Proposals for the redesign of Minnesota’s flag and seal have been made public. Highlights include a picture of someone’s dog, and what is clearly someone’s hardwood flooring. Of course, there are some legitimate designs too. Link: https://serc.mnhs.org/flags

I've encountered an annoying formatting issue that @Sindo @OlympicIRL and I are working to rectify, but due to the short period of time remaining before the scheduled date of the opening ceremony and grand final, it is likely those will need to be pushed back one weekend. I'll provide a more official update tomorrow.

Not really sure which thread is best for this, but… I attended the last day of the World Beach Ultimate (Frisbee) Championships on Sunday. Admission was free, and you could watch from just off the sideline of the field. It was a cool event. Some surprising results too. I also coincidentally caught the opening parade of the para surfing world championships (being held at the same beach). It was fun to watch all the different national teams parade by. Plus, I got to watch some of the different classifications of adaptive surfers warming up for the competition. All in all, a neat day at the beach.

I need rest after the Asian Games and Pan American Games.

A clip of the mascot twerking feels like the perfect way to end these Games

Might be a good time to read Boys in the Boat for those who haven’t. The film adaptation will be coming out soon.

She really owns the 500m no matter the surface

A little peak at one of the commentators set ups.

Honestly, it still seems pretty unclear. There was all that talk of cuts after Lima 2019, and in the end, there were only a few. If they do cut the non-Olympic sports, I think should go the ODEBO route and create an event for those sports specifically.

I couldn’t find a single channel showing artistic skating today or yesterday. Big change from 2019. Scheduling definitely screwed those athletes over in terms of exposure.

Yeah, but they aren’t doing so hot in open water gymnastics

I just noticed how full the national stadium is today

Be prepared for disappointment. The competition standard may be lower than you would expect.

New one from this morning.

This men’s hammer final is almost certainly the best athletics event of the Games. Katzberg with a GR on his first throw.

Oh, I got the genders confused

I don’t think is eligible anyway…
