Badminton Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Josh 10,830]

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.

Might come down to whoever wins gold at the Pan American Championships in April

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

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

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.

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.
