New update on the Fontana saga: the mixed relay has been officially ruled out as Cassinelli will be there. It's still unclear whether she'll be part of the women's relay.

Anyone know why this stage doesn't count for Olympic Qualification?

We are missing the WC thread, but 37 NOC's will be competing

 

Entry list

And, probably most important news, Arianna Fontana back to compete for the Italian NOC, but only in individual events. There isn't an agreement for the relay.

Luca Nardi defeated Djokovic at Indian Wells 

4 quotas for Italy, completely unexpected

Great time for Ghiotto, but a bronze medal seems quite complicated.

Hi Group,

 

I wasn't sure where best to post so thought I would chuck it in here.

 

I'm new to this forum from the mighty GB. I just wanted to say how much I rate this page and was blown away by the work that has gone into making it what it is today.

 

I have a love for virtually all summer Olympic sports and have been checking in regularly to see how the shape up for Paris is looking.

 

If there is anything I can do to help out let me know.

 

 

Welcome!

4 & 18

Yep, a slim one in Mixed Race Walk I guess and pretty sure we will grab a quota or two in Table Tennis singles + we already assured of 2 universality places in Swimming

Honestly, i think that Slovakian boxer is favourite for the quota

Somewhat coincidentally, right as you sent that I came across a post on the ISU Speed Skating Instagram about Stolz winning the all-around 500m. 

And with the track record

Imho, he haven't any podium chances.

if she misses the Olympic Quota, she has to be "gonfiata come una zampogna"

 

she's just 1 win away and she has to face opponents that are not even close to  Aydin, who she defeated in the quarterfinals

 

and in case she loses to /, then the 3rd place match vs the loser of the other semi should be a joke or so (in the lower bracket only  is a good fighter, even if they're trying to earn  a shot in all possible ways )

Isn't the 3rd place useless? I remember that there are only 2 quota for each weight.

Just now, Josh said:

Just a question, anyone know why  Stolz isn’t competing? 

He decided to compete in the all-around and not in the sprint all-around.

I was quite surprised that your skateboarder, Ivan Federico, wasn't competing at any event.

 

I took a look, and found a document from World Skate saying that he had been banned. This ban ended last month, but he didn't return for this last competition. Do you know why he got this supension?

The official version is that he withdrew because he didn't want to compete and wanted to make videos on YouTube. Shadow ban?
