I have tried to calculate the number of events for each country. True, this is very difficult to do, so I just counted the events in which athletes achieved entry standards. I know there are some mistakes, but the approximate number could be of help.

It all depends on how you count the quotas, especially in swimming and athletics... by my count Hungary can enter a maximum of 113 athletes until now ?

There is no news yet about if it will affect a qualifications in rowing, diving and artistic swimming.

Expand  

The rowing regatta is confirmed, and my guess is so will be the events in diving and artistic swimming, since these will all be direct qualification events and athletes will be given exeptions to enter Japan.

As I understand, the gymnastics World Cup was cancelled because it wasn't a qualification event anymore so there is no need to host it

Hey Rybak

 

I have not update my personal calendar lately because I was sick and still recovering.

 

But, the next direct qualifier scheduled there is Women's Water Polo Olympic Games Tournament, from 17 to 24 January. If nothing changed since the last time that I checked it out, this will be the next one.

Expand  

Yes, you are right. The women's waterpolo tournament is the next direct qualification event, followed by canoe slalom asian qualifier (Jan 28 - 31). But I expect many more changes to the calendar, but sadly, no in a positive way where they would add more events....

@call me matt - can you confirm that the next week's Rhytmic Gymnastics Europeans in Kiev are the qualification or are there going to be another European Champs in 2021 to serve as the qualifier?

Expand  

Sadly I can't, but I can confirm that European Gymnastics decided to not held any Olympic qualification in 2020, so no European Championships will count on Road to Tokyo in all events. I can't find information if next year's Rhythmic Championships (held in Varna in June 2021) will be a qualification one or not...

The competition will start this week, but we can expect Olympic qualifiers only next weekend. But at least, the competitions will start

I tried to contact him on Twitter, but no response. I'm a bit worried about him, but I do hope he'll be back here soon

[Matej 293]

So this is confirmed (I checked multiple sources), the Judo Grand Slam in Budapest will be the first major competition since the pandemic and will count for Olympic Ranking points, so we can expect a lot of the best judokas there.

Thanks

 

Are you 100% sure about road events in athletics? Some time ago I read that WA changed their mind and 50km race walkers and marathon runners can qualify since 1st September but then they returned to their previous decision that qualifications in all events are suspended till 1st December. I wonder since qualifications will return in December if then results achieved during indoor meetings will be counted as well or just those outdoor and date of 1st December is just "symbolic"

 

What about Judo Grand Slam in Budapest?

 

Today I checked that also Olympic ranking in golf was updated in Monday.

Expand  

I'm sure the road events can give qualifiers, since the WA also has an updated Road to Tokyo on their site that confirms few standards achieved this autumn. 

 

You are right, I think golf competitions are valid for Olympic rankings, but for judo I am not sure, would have to check this out.

Since some sport events are in action again, someone know which event (and when are supposed to be happen) will serve direct Olympic qualifications or will offer points to Olympic ranking?

Expand  

If I remember correctly European sport climbing championships will be the next direct qualification event, from November 19-29. Then in December other 3 continental championships will follow to finish the sports' Olympic qualification. And these are all direct qualification events for this year I have on my mind. 

 

About the competitions that offer Ranking points, I am not sure which sports are active, but there are not many. Also in swimming and athletics (road events) entry standards can be reached in these times.

Apparently there are some IFs who would like to have the Games in May/ June, while others are pushing for July/ August date. And I believe IOC also has to ask NBC which timeline do they prefer....

[Matej 293]

Good to know, although it is not a surprise they kept the allocated quotas & the only right decision. IOC and IFs already have too much on their plate right now so they even can't afford a possible fight with already qualified athletes
