The whole thing is an absolute clusterf**k but as I understand it, the last paragraph only comes into play when all the continents have a representative. 2022 results will be used to give South America a quota and 2023 will be used to give Africa a quota.

I think South America has a good chance to end up among top 6 in 2024 as well (ARG and VEN).

[prso1000 683]

So let's play through a scenario: 

 

Let's assume those nations get a quota through OQS in 2024: 

2x USA, GBR, AUS, JPN, FRA 

 

What would that mean of the WCH Quotas: 

 

2022 ARG (if South America is a separate continent) + JPN 

2023 South Africa, GBR, AUS, CRO (realocation of host quota) 

 

or if it is PanAm

2022 JPN, FRA

2023 S. Africa, GBR, AUS, CRO
 

Is this correct?

the qualification document would suggest that this would be the case. 

 

The quotas awarded next year through the OQS will be to the top 6 athletes and are specific to those athletes. The quotas available from the world champs )both this year's and last) are awarded to the NOC. 

 

So if Rimu Nakamura finishes in the top 6 next year, he would get a quota and Japan would be able to name second rider based on their 2022 world champs quota. Likewise, if Reilly finishes in the top 6, GBR will be able to do the same.

Yeah, I am afraid you are right. 

[prso1000 683]

do I Understand correctly that same athlete. can win two quotes for one NOC?

 

For example the Japanese WCH in 2022 and now 4th here could gain two Quota for Japan? 

What happens if he ends up also in the top 6 next year in the Qualifiers series. 

all so confusing. 

 

And yes the only safe quota is South Africa

This is the most obvious speculation. In theory, it could happen that first two NOCs here don't even get one place for Paris. So these results should be saved and checked again in 2024

I just checked and no one from Africa was participating 😂

that would have been an easy quota

You are right. These results will be used to determine containental spots first, so there are many options, it's impossible to say these contries have guaranteed spots in Paris. Sure, chances of them not being there are small, but their participation is not 100%

I guess one quota will go to Africa certainly. No chance that someone from Africa will be in Top 6 in the 2024 series.
