What rules change?

Competiciones que clasifican para otras que otorgan plazas olímpicas o influyen en el ranking olímpico.

The Olympics is a very restricted competition. While on other continents there are always several countries with a chance of qualifying, here Australia competes in practically all categories without any remotely decent opponent (rare exceptions). I understand the need to have representatives from Oceania at the Olympics, but I can't help but find it unfair.

Worth pointing out that race walking began in an English speaking country that also produced many Olympic champions and medallists in the sport during its long history.

I just wish that the NOC would do like used to do and rejects those quotas that were won too easily.

However, there's a chance some of the smaller NOCs can take quotas there. for instance.

In boxing, the quality from Australia is still good enough to justify a continental quota. It's not like this is wrestling.

After 4 races, the quotas would go to: ILCA7: ILCA6: After 7 races: Men IQfoil: And 99,9% winning the quota in Men's Kite is , cause the other athlete, from has a DNF, a DNS and six DNC.

And other times they just have to show at a competition an even with a midly amateur level, you can qualify.

By the way, this event will serve as a qualification event for the 2025 World Games. Top 5 European teams will get quotas

I see this said in a lot of circles, but I'd love to know the criteria that determines which athletes are more "deserving" to be at the Olympics. I think its a slippery slope to judge qualification on. While Australian athletes may have had an easier route in this case, they still had to train and work for years to get to the level they are at.

Seems like Germans and Austrians really benefited from the rules change. Everyone is like 2 steps behind them.

Announcement for the 2024 Totallympics Prediction Contests Towards the 2024 Totallympics Prediction Contests, there will be some slight changes to certain parts of the Totallympics Prediction Contests. Rule and format changes: - "Double-the-points" for matches in Team Sports contests. Explained: Every user will have 5 "Double-the-points" during the Group stage, 3 for the Main Round stage, 3 for the Knockout stage (if the Knockout stage begins from the Quarterfinals or earlier. Only 2 if the Knockout-stage begins from the Semifinals). The amount of "Double-the-points" for each stage in a contest will be written when the prediction design for each stage will be posted. - "Captain"-points for Individual Events contests. Explained: Each user can select 5 "captains" for the contest. Each "captain" will double its' points for his or her's event. Example: Athlete A wins its' event which normally gives 4 points in total. If User A has selected Athlete A as one of his/her captains, Athlete A will score 8 points for User A. Users can score a maximum of 14 points (Captain points + bonus point included). Notice! If Athlete A competes in more than one event, user A has to indicate which event Athlete A is "captain" in. "Captain"-points can only be used once for each of the 5 selected athletes. - Able to see users' predictions. Explained: After the deadline for each stage in a prediction contest has passed, all users will be able to see each other's predictions. The contest thread will be locked during this stage until the prediction design for the next stage will be posted, or until the Prediction Contest Manager unlocks the thread. - Points distrubution changes for the overall standing. See below an example of the changes.

You could only wonder how much more succesfull Sweden would be in the olympics of we didn't waste so much sport talent to Floor ball (most played sport in Sweden) just to win by 40+ goals.
