Battle is now between Magnusson & Michelon, Norway &Germany not bringing much.
leads again with.Minkinnen! At the line she leads by 16 secs, not many big names left out there!
Therefore, the women's case would be much more simple. 1500m SOQC 35th, Hongkong(HKG) 1 could not get the new quota as they have never earned any quota places before 1000m. Instead, SOQC 37th, GBR 1 could get place instead.
Unless Eurosport comes back they might not be any full coverage in the UK. TNT will be owned by Netflix while the rest of the discovery group in Europe is being spun off.
After thorough review, I found that the rule should be applied like this
Quota should be added when new members SOQC has reached his or her turn.
And the turn comes in 500-1000-1500 sequence.
Also, if the starting place reaches 8, the additional quota is given, as soon as possible.
And though it is my opinion, the total quota is 112, but the more important thing is that men's quota is 56 and women's quota is also 56. Therefore, 57th quota could not be given to either sex.
Therefore in Men's 1500m, When 4 teams with 8th starting place is reached (KOR, CAN, ITA, CHN) the men's quota is not 56 yet. (SOQC <27th in 1500m) However, when 3th member of USA gets starting place, and more importantly, new quota in SOQC 27th in 1500m discipline, the 56th member is full. This means that Netherland 3 gets 8th starting place, although they already has quota, and therefore do not need to get 57th quota for individual discipline, would fail to get their 5th quota for relay. Also, the Great Britain 2 starting place, which has no quota in 500, 1000 discipline, could not also be assigned. Therefroe, SOQC 37th, UZB1 would come instead of GB2.
