I believe the M Worlds are the only tournament with the serpentine system not based by last tournament standing but the actual World ranking. But I am not 100% sure, now, I´ll look later if they changed it or not Anyway even on the Worlds standing it would be impossibe 14th GB would be with 15th BLR, 16th ITA would be with 13th & 12th

Oh yes, my bad 14:15 & 18:15 sorry

Especially, being twice almost eliminated in this tournament, when one just think that needed just a win over alrady eliminated to qualify and eiminate Canada, but somehow Norway won, the next day & needed a tie after 60 minutes to qualify both of them and eiminate Canada. Now I start to believe Canada will win this whole champs

We are 40 seconds from the moment all 4 teams from Group B will be in semifinals

wow Canada eliminated Russia in overtime

Yep, he was smiling all the way today after his second run. Still a long shot to qualify for Tokyo, but it is very nice to see him fighting until the very end. Would be obviously his only chance for the Olympics in his life. He already feel like a grandpa in his close to 40s among all other teenagers participants

Jesus Angel Garcia ? I do believe he is competing for eternity too

I believe there some guys in Equestrian who already competed in the 80s or maybe also in Sailing ?

Michal Martikán (SVK) Jaromír Jágr (CZE this one is also 80s guy lol)

May I support ? I know they are not small and tripartite country but I am going to follow their participation anyway so just let you know I am going to do it here anyway for the second pick, I´ll pick just like I did for Rio
