Really tight race for the Pan American continental quotas in men’s doubles/women’s doubles/mixed doubles. I’m not feeling too confident about eventually securing a quota in any, even if we’re probably the top nation in Pan American badminton at the moment.

The Pan American Championships starts today. If Canada wants to qualify in doubles we'll likely need to win gold in those events.

If you really want to qualify, you’d have @Josh award the quotas to your closest rivals midway through the competition :p

Kevin Lee/Ty Lindeman were the #2 seeds in men’s doubles (1,800 points back of an Olympic quota, and a tournament win plus a semifinal finish for Dong/Yakura would’ve been enough to overtake them I’m pretty sure), and bowed out during the round of 16. So no, not all of our top players are still alive.

Can someone explain to me how many Olympic ranking points are awarded at Super 300 tournaments? Can’t seem to find it anywhere :mumble:

 

@JoshMartini007 @Laraja

See here

 

Note starting on April 23rd the point system will change. Though the Super 300 will remain the same

That’s the amount of points counting towards the World Ranking. Not sure if it’s the same for the Olympic Ranking. 
 

Edit: Because according to that, Lindeman/Lee have qualified for the Olympics as of today, but I don’t see any posts on Badminton Canada’s Instagram announcing that.

World Ranking considers the last 12 months points. Olympic Ranking only counts tournaments in qualification period. So, at the end of QP, World Ranking will be same as Olympic Ranking.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
