Maria Lenk Trophy (Brazilian trials) - Day 2 After the second day of competition (and combining the results with the brazilian Open), are qualified for the Olympics: Men's 100m Backstroke - Guilherme Guido (53.09) Men's 200m Freestyle - Nicolas Oliveira (1:46.97) and João de Lucca (1:47.65) Women's 100m Backstroke - Etiene Medeiros (1:00.00) No athletes achieved the standards in Women's 400m Freestyle and Women's 100m Breaststroke. In addition to the two above, Luiz Altamir Melo (already qualified yesterday for 400m Freestyle) and André Pereira will complete the Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay team. Jhennifer Conceição will be selected for the Breaststroke portion of our women's medley relay if we confirm the quota.

Yes, I also couldn't find anything regarding this matter. It seems that teams ranked 5th to 8th at the test event are not guaranteed of a spot at the Olympics - they need to have an all-arounder in qualifying position, and then the quota is allocated to the NOC (which can choose any athlete to go to the Games).

With 350.609, Germany is probably safe for the Olympics. Canada, with 330.626, is probably out.

Yes, it is him.

Maria Lenk Trophy (Brazilian trials) - Day 1 For brazilian trials, the criteria is very simple: achieve the Olympic standard and you're in (the two best times will qualify if more than 2 athletes achieve the standard). Remember that brazilian athletes had two qualifying tournaments for the Games - the Open in December, and now the Maria Lenk Trophy, the last chance to meet the standards. After the first day, the following athletes are guaranteed in the Olympics: Men's 100m Breaststroke - João Gomes Jr. (59.06) and Felipe França (59.36) Men's 400m Freestyle - Luiz Altamir Melo (3:50.32) Men's 400m Individual Medley - Brandonn Almeida (4:14.07) Women's 100m Butterfly - Daiene Dias (58.04) and Daynara de Paula (58.38) Women's 400m Individual Medley - Joanna Maranhão (4:38.66) As many of you may know, current silver medalist Thiago Pereira decided that he won't participate in the 400m IM event at Rio Olympics.

While Brazil men's group might be easiest one, I wouldn't say that about our women's group. Our female team is not what it used to be and both China and Sweden will be tough challenges. China, especially, is in a very good moment, having won against USA recently.

I like the font of "A", but the overall feeling is kinda boring. "B" has a reminiscent feel of other logos, but could work. Good concept on "C", but the execution... no bueno. The last option is probably my favourite, although I'm not really sure about that font.

I'm pretty sure that's a render - the only thing real is the backdrop I think this idea was rejected and they went with another project.

In addition to Field Hockey, Brazil will also debut in Badminton and Trampoline Gymnastics thanks to being the host nation.

Most of the Olympic movies are very "by the book", but I just watched on TV the Barcelona 1992 film and I like it very much, especially because of its "unconventional" style. Certainly one of my favourites now. Brazilian channel SporTV also has an interesting show called "Classic" in which they're showing full replays of past Olympics events. After the 1992 movie, they had the Basketball final between USA and Croatia.

Apparently she's retiring.

What a scary fall of Carlotta Ferlito this weekend... hope she's okay.

Equal payment issue aside, Novak's remarks were extremely condescending towards female players. If you don't have something better to say, just don't say it.

Great match!

From Brazil, two Beach Volleyball medalists failed to qualify: Emanuel (retired soon after) and Juliana.

I expect 24 medals for Brazil (7 more than London) and about 6-8 golds.

Count me in!
