Felicitations to Mathilde Gros - six years after that mad-fast flying 200 junior record, she's come of age.
 
Winning on home soil in the next Olympic velodrome isn't a bad place to win your first rainbow jersey. 

Ganna does 3:59.636 WR in the final!! Holy shit!!
 
Perhaps he will park that event now. No future IP he does will top that even if he goes faster.

Faster than the winning time in the TEAM pursuit at the Sydney Olympics...

Ah, just beat me to it. 
 
On a separate note  and  joined the Commonwealth last weekend; probably too late for a Games debut in Birmingham but there's plenty of time to organise a team for the following edition in Victoria State.

So far it appears the MTB World Cup in Albstadt will get the wheel rolling - both U23 XCO races take place on the opening day of the qualification window (7 May).
 
As for track cycling - considering how previous qualification systems worked (2-year window that ended with the Olympic-year WCh) before the calendar was completely turned on its head, I wouldn't be surprised if qualification began last weekend in Glasgow on the down low...

They did promise it in a press release on April Fools' Day, as it happens:
 
IOC EB approves Paris 2024 qualification criteria and session schedule and LA28 discipline review - Olympic News (olympics.com)

Sidenote - no new Olympic record for the first time these Games (men's TP still has semis and finals)
 
(No lowland sub-37s since Pyeongchang during this cycle)

Updated start book here - and the event documents page, where any updates will show up (in case more existing links are taken down)
 
Side note - designation as  Ch remains. Best-placed non-English lifter in each weight class qualifies for the 2022 CWG ( gets host quotas).

Winning margin was a tiny 0.017! Don't know for sure but that's got to be the smallest AA Worlds-winning margin since the 2006 Code and its successors were introduced.

Lambie only started riding track in 2017. He isn't a high-level bunch racer on the track and the only Tokyo 2020 event he'd have been picked for would have been the team pursuit (which the US men did not qualify for).
 
As for Ganna - don't forget he also cracked a rib the other day. He was set for last Sunday's Chrono des Nations but pulled out to focus on these championships.

has entries in MK1 200/1000, WK1/WC2 500 and MK2 1000.
 
 
Winner of MK2 1000 gets the boat quota, as do the top two in WK1/WC2 500 and MK1 200/1000. However, nations in top two of both MK1 events only get 1000 quota; 200 quota passes on to highest-placed nation not qualified in the 1000. (Same goes for WK1 200/500.)

You can scratch  from that race as they received an Olympic boat quota reallocated after the recent Asian Qualifier.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the process was:
Natalya Sergeyeva won AQ WK1 500 -> boat quota goes to
Inna Klinova won AQ WK1 200, but  already has WK1 quota (as above)
Yuka Ono finished 2nd behind Klinova -> boat quota goes to
Host country WK1 500 boat quota is reallocated to best-placed 2019 WCh country not already qualified ( since Rebeka Simon was 7th)
 
 
Also, the Szeged regatta startlist & results (Euro Qualifier & World Cup 1) are available here.

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I was referring to the London 2012 shoot-off, not today's.

the ceremony in live
 

With AIBA now all but stripped of its status as the Olympic IF for boxing (IOC Session ratification of that decision is likely a formality), the only certainties at this point are that the sport will have 286 berths across 13 weight divisions (8 men, 5 women) with qualification pushed back to next year.
 
The IOC aim to - by the end of this month - publish a qualification system that has the confirmed weight limits, quota distribution and qualification events.

On another note, at least part of the 2019 European Games QS is no longer correct.
 
In contrast to what was published previously (admittedly before the Olympic QS was published), 2020 canoe sprint berths will not be awarded at the regatta in Minsk.
 

Weightlifting system on the IWF website has finally been updated to include the specific weight categories.

That just leaves the mess that is AIBA boxing.

The ICF have published that very same document on their website. The March date contained in the URL below suggests it is effectively the final version.

The canoe sprint QS isn't ready yet, though there is talk of changing the quota from one event berth per NOC to two (whether that applies to all events or some is currently unknown).

After a bit more digging, it appears that the second newsletter (dated March 2018) for the 2019 European Games contains all the applicable qualification systems, plus 2020 Olympic qualification where applicable.
