Brazil Adjusted Olympic Rankings: 1.) Great Britain - 7500(Q) 2.) China - 7470 (Q) 3.) Germany - 6960 (Q) 4.) Mexico - 6172.50 (Q) 5.) Poland - 5868.75 (Q) 6.) New Zealand - 5790 (Q) 7.) Netherlands - 5407.5 (Q) 8.) France - 5403.75 ------------------------------------- 9.) Canada - 4852.50 Realistically, there is only 1 place left in the women's team sprint competition. have a NC event in hand so providing they don't crash out in Milton, they are likely to move into a top 4/top 5 position. The battle for the last quota comes down to France v's Canada. Canada are in the stronger position as they have a NC event in hand. They are currently just over 550 points behind France so Canada need to finish at least 9th in order to overtake France. France can improve their position if they can finish 6th or higher and if they do, Canada needs to be no worse than 2 places behind them to secure the quota. There's no GB in the line up for Milton and Germany are not sending their strongest team so we should see a win for either China or Netherlands but behind them, everyone will have a chance to get on the podium.

Mexico 6.) Argentina Adjusted Olympic Rankings: 1.) Denmark - 9285 (Q) 2.) New Zealand - 9230 (Q) 3.) Australia - 9000 (Q) 4.) Italy - 8800 (Q) 5.) Japan - 7770 (Q) 6.) Germany - 7300 (Q) 7.)

USA - 4824 Technically, China could catch Belgium but in order to do that, China need to finish at least 7th in Milton and Belgium finish no better than 10th. It's not impossible for that to happen as the field in Milton for this event is one of the weaker ones with no Denmark, New Zealand, Australia or Germany (according to the provisional entry lists at least). If the weaker field can benefit China, it could do the same for Belgium - these teams are pretty closely matched with the head to head tied at 2-2. I fully expect Belgium to finish higher than their current discard score of 10th - not exactly a bold prediction given there are only 11 nations competing! - so in order for China to get the last quota, I think they will need to finish at least 2 places higher than Belgium.

Can you spread what happened with your team? Last AC you won, now lost with Columbia. In Milton 3rd place and now this kind of level? Some changes, injuries? We still need finish 1 place higher in Milton Edited April 5 by Adriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes for Canada is Poland finishing ahead of us, and with our A-squad losing to a Colombian team (!!) that’s 15th in the Olympic Rankings it seems inevitable. Of course there’s still a chance but I’m not feeling very optimistic. Same thing in surfing, right when Brooks went to the repechage I mourned her chances and she bowed out a couple of heats later.
