That would be great but I think it's a bit on the optimistic side (especially Judo, Gymnastics and Boxing). I think Brazil will have a similar performance to London 2012.

So it seems like the dramatic announcement was all to say she is trying out a new hydration drink this year 
 
 

Bayer Leverkusen are Champions of Bundesliga for 1st time ever 

After all that bad press predicting disaster at Rio, it will be a bit curious if something like this happens in Paris.
 
I wonder if they would not do something to get a good water result in the previous days and go forward.

This is devastating. Yulimar Rojas is one of my fav athletes. Had a nice photo with her in Budapest. 
 
As always this is the worst part of these last months before Olympics - almost everyday news on who will miss the games due to injury… ☹️

Yulimar Rojas (athletics) 
 
Reigning Olympic Champion in women’s triple jump, reigning World Record holder, reigning 4x World Champion and widely considered as the best athlete all time in this event, but won’t be defending her title at Paris after suffering an achilles injury during training. Wide open for the gold medal now. 

OJ Simpson.

Qualification should be like in Judo. The best 16 (1x country) get in, period.
 
If some continent is not represented, deduct 1 quota from that top 16 until all of them are.

Women's -67KG Quotas
 
 Kristina Teachout
 Madelyn Rodríguez
 
 
 
 Leslie Soltero, 2022 World Champion, is out. Taekwondo Olympic Qualification System is very unfair

And that is exactly what Israel wanted so it was probably an attack on purpose to scare off all the aid organizations. There were three cars travelling and three drone strikes each happened after occupants moved to the remaining cars after there was nobody alive in the end.

Quota for  Women’s 50m rifle 3 positions! 

Has she liked any post especifically about the war? all those pics look like modeling stuff.

I think for him every Russian and Belarrusian is a pro War and nothing gonna change his mind.
 
He even said that Aryna Sabalenka is a pro War some das ago 🫠

Is that the Sabalenka who consistently has said she doesn't support the war?
 
Also, not weird she eventually ends up losing big, considering her tragedy earlier this week.

If a Russian / Belarus wins gold , the 2nd will win silver , but his or her medal won't be shown on Medals Table, another bullshit and humiliation to these athletes . 

It makes sense, but for 2040 it's been 24 years after Rio...
 
I'm sure Brazil (and Mexico) is on a limbo because it's not either safe option neither ground breaking. 
 
With the lack of cities vying, it could open a path for São Paulo, provided that they host a superb Pan Am in 2031 and start to host more and more international sports events.
 
But we know that the interest for hosting comes and goes. In the 70/80s it was fairly easy to get: only 4 cities in total applied for 76/80/84 and one of them pulled out - and other 2 for 88. But then in the 90s you had dozens of cities trying...

Maybe I am too naive at this point. But I think that me and also many other people hope and believe that one day, politics will stop having highly negative impact on the Olympic Games and it will start being the highly peaceful event as it used to be and as Baron Coubertin saw and created such amazing mottos. Olympic Spirit has been with me my entire life and looking at these political nonsenses makes me feel sad. I don't envy those people who pursue their life dream and goals and these things stop them and often they can't do anything about it. 

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.
 
 

Is anyone else just getting completely sick of every sporting tournament seeming to be held in qatar 🙄🙄🙄

ITF officially allows Russian & Belarussian players to compete as neutral athletes in Paris.
 
Meanwhile where are those people who preached the liberal democracies will boycott the Olympics?
