Judo Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Laraja 1,494]

Olympic Qualification Rankings updated as of May 2nd, 2024

[phelps 7,675]

from Tomorrow through Sunday, Grand Slam in  Dushanbe, second last GS tournament before the final showdown (the World Champs) before the end of the qualification period

 

among the most interesting facts, it's one of the rare appearances of the great  Teddy Riner in this final stint of his career...it should be a red carpet for him at least until the semis (where he should face  Puumalainen), if not to the final (Home hero Temur Rakhimov the most credited guy to make it through to the gold medal match on the top half of the draw)

[Pasolini 251]

I may totally missing the mark here, but I guess these countries have qualified to Paris, if IJF does not create new Grand Prix/Slam or give Grand Prix points to the next Opens. We will have 5 weeks of Open, so I am taking a mathematical approach that one athlete could go to all Opens and win titles to check if they could get into one of the 17 direct quotas. But for now, this can only happen in the 73kg.

 

Only direct quotas here, no CQ, and the opens will be fundamental into some of the quotas + some of the seeds.

 

And obviously my math can be very wrong, so take it with a grain of salt (the order is not necessarily right)

 

W 48kg
**

Kurbonova is out with 2652pt, but getting a Continental Quota, from Aminova (57kg), with 2474pt.
Menz out with 2642pt, hoping Cavelius (81kg) take a direct quota, so she would get a continental (or Trippel, 90kg, with 2260pt for now)

* new entries.
 without continental quota for now (see below, 73kg)
  continental quota going to Ida Eriksson (70kg) for now, but could go to Marcus Nyman (90kg)

 

M 60kg

 

Nothing has changed here.

 

W 52kg

 

*

Ana Viktorija Puljiz out with 2490pt, she could still get the continental quota from Croatia (now with Zlatko Zumric, 2517pt)

*new entries
Angelica Delgado after reaching R16 goes to 2621. Continental quota for now with John Jayne (90kg, 2124pt)
 

[Pasolini 251]

Obviously it's not enough to point out that all these calculations goes with the idea that all Opens that will happen will give 100pt for the winners. We never know what the IJF can decide to do...

 

M 66kg

 

*

 

Boushita out, and gets the continental quota for now with 2456pt, in the place of Achraf Moutii (83kg, 1984pt)

*new entries

Luukas Saha with the bronze medal breaks through the direct quota spot.

 

W 57kg

 

 

No changes here.

 

M 73kg

 

 

18th quota still not decided:

Tohar Butbul remains with 2812

Tsend-Ochiryn Tsogtbaatar remains with 2782. As he has 3 blank results, he may pass Butbul.

 

If Tsogtbaatar gets the points, Gntulga Altanbagana (90kg, 1941pt) probably would get the continental quota from Mongolia and Butbul would get a continental quota as well.

 

 

 

[Pasolini 251]

How is reallocation working so far?

 

All continents have enough countries and wil take full quotas, except Oceania.

 

This is the current situation:

 

 

Australia 1st male quota

 

2 secure direct quotas (Katherina Haecker, 63kg), Aoife Coughlan 70kg

 

M 60kg: Joshua KATZ 1500pt (not sure why he was not at the Worlds)
W 52kg: Tinka EASTON 1415pt (she has 10pts to discard, so if the wins an Open will go to 1505)

Both are slotted for Tahiti Open. Therefore Katz needs only to win one fight (or hope Easton will not win it). They could still obviously compete in others.

 

New Zealand 1st female quota

2 athletes could still win direct quots:

 

W 78kg Moira de Villiers, wth 1832. She is injured but should go to Tahiti Open, where she could go to 1926 and potentially get the last quota (depends on what happens at the Worlds)

W +78kg Sydnee Andews, for now with the last direct quota with 2300pt 

 

81kg Maarten de Ridder with 309pt may still be dreaming with the continental quota, but he is not on the Worlds and does not appear to be registrated in any Open.

 

Fiji 2nd male quota

 

M 100kg Tevita Takayawa with 246pt appears to have the quota on his hands. Gerard Takayawa (+100kg, 92pt) and Shanice Takayawa (70kg, 64) need 2 strong performances in Opens.

 

Guam 2nd female quota

 

Maria Escano (57kg, 239pt).

 

Samoa 3rd male quota

 

Either William Tai Tin (73kg, 136pt) or Pniamina Percival  (81kg, 106pt), they are not in any tournament so far.

 

Vanuatu 4th male quota

 

Hugo Cumbo (81kg, 57pt)

 

Kiribati 5th male quota or 3rd female quota

 

Both Nera Tiebwa (57kg) and Tebania Mwemwenikeaki (60kg) have 10pt and will play Tahiti Open. If they remain drawn and both eligible, "the IJF Executive Committee will make the decision."

 

American Samoa Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, Nauru Palau Papua New Guinea Tonga have no athletes in the rankings so far.

 

So far we have 2 female quotas and a third "to be decided".

 

So far I BELIEVE this is the ranking for the reallocation (it envolved many scenarios, with direct quota, continental quota, team invitaiton, etc, so this is far from certain). Tahiti Open (and others) may change things a bit...

 

Female

 

1- Natasha Ferreira (48kg) 2694pt  -she could still get a continental quota depending on 63kg/70kg

2- Katharna Menz (48kg) 2642pt - she could still get a continental quota depending o 81kg/90kg. And she still can add 80pt if she wins an Open, passing Ferreira.

3- Ana Viktorija PULJIZ (52kg) 2490pt - could still get a continental quota depending on 100kg)

4- Shukurjon Aminova (57kg) 2474pt

4- Taís Pina (70kg) 2341 still competing or Telma Monteiro (58kg, 2306, but could still add 80pt at an Open)

 

 

male (less sure, but)

 

Igor Wandtke 2702pt, 73kg) - so far, with a Team Invitation quota

Magdiel Estrada 2265pt (could still get a CQ quota, depending on 63kg)

Medickson DEL ORBE CORTORREAL (81kg, 2174) or Robert Florentino (90kg, 2274) - both still competing

Marcus Nyman (90kg, 2198 - now fighting for the CQ with Ida Erikson, 70kg, 2202) 

Muhammed Demirel (2177pt, 52kg)

Enej MArinic (+100kg, 2153pt)

 

[Pasolini 251]

W 63kg

 

 

18th direct quota to be decideed between

Maylin del Toro Carvajal goes to 3036 with the R16.

Amina Belkadi goes to 3012 and still has a 10 & 20 to replace. She is slotted to take part in Abidjan Open and would need a 5th place (with a victory) to go to 3038.

 

M 81kg

 

*

 

*new entry

Timur Arbuzov jumped through the rankings with his silver medal. His CQ for AIN will go to Dali Liluashvili from 63kg (239pt)

 

UNGVARI ATTILA is out of a directo quota, in 19th with 3186 points. He will probably get CQ from VEG Zsombor (100kg, 2607pt). Unless he get it back tomorrow (through direct quota or even reallocation), Hungary will only have 4 direct athletes and lose its right to earn a Team Invitation

 

Just noting that Timo Cavelius gets the continental quota for Germany and he becomes the first male gay judoka qualified for OG ( in the lack of a rainbow flag hahaha)
 

 

W 70kg

 

*

 

*new entry

Gabriella Willems goes to 2614 with the 5th place

 

and Maya Goshen out with 2472. As Shira Rishony got a 48kg direct quota, Goshen has the continental quota so far if Butbul remains with the direct quota in the 73kg (see above). If he loses, the continental quota is his and Goshen will go to the reallocation lot (see below)

M 90kg

 

 

several contenders were close by but nothing changed here

 

W 78kg

 

 

18th quota momentarily with

Loriana Kuka 1873pt
but can be obtained by

Moira de Villiers 1832pt (she is injured and missed the worlds and still has a 10 + 6 + 6 in her points. She is supposed to go to Tahiti Open and a bronze medal will do - will take her to 1876)

Vanessa Chala 1656pt, but has 2 blank spaces on her ranking and one 70, so she can go to 1886 - if she wins 3 Opens around the world in 5 weeks lol

 

Both cases are curious:

 

 

Moira de Villiers has a continental quota so far, but has to hope Sydnee Andrews keeps her direct quota tomorrow (2300pt) in a fierce competition.

 

If Moira eventually wins a quota and Sydnee remains with her direct quota, the continental quota will go to Maarten de Ridder (81kg, 309pt) and may shake some things in the Oceania quota (see above) and reallocation quota (see below)

 

Ecuador is a curious case because they have 4 strong athletes fighting for one continental quota and who have not travelled enough. Besides Chala we have

 

70kg Celinda Corozo with 1264pt with 160 + 36 + 20 + 0 + 0  (!)

66kg Lenin Preciado with 1123 but with 50 + 36 + 20 + 0 + 0 (!)

+100kg Freddy Figueroa with 1041 but with 100 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 (he is not in Abu Dhabi).

 

Have no idea why they have not travelled more, even in regional Opens... they could have easily 2 or 3 quotas. 

 

And this is how we stand with the reallocation rankings 

 

Female

 

1- Natasha Ferreira (48kg) 2694pt

2- Katharna Menz (48kg) 2642pt - She still can add 80pt if she wins an Open, passing Ferreira.

3- Ana Viktorija PULJIZ (52kg) 2490pt - could still get a continental quota depending on 100kg)
*4- Maya Goshen out with 2472 - she can still ad 80pt if she wins an Open, passing Puljiz (if Butbul gets the continental quota in 73kg instead of Goshen)

4- Shukurjon Aminova (57kg) 2474pt

4- Taís Pina (70kg) 2341 still competing or Telma Monteiro (58kg, 2306, but could still add 80pt at an Open)

 

 

male (less sure, but)

 

Igor Wandtke 2702pt, 73kg) - so far, with a Team Invitation quota - I think reallocation happens first if a male quota is available
VEG Zsombor (100kg, 2607pt, still competing)

Magdiel Estrada 2265pt (could still get a CQ quota, depending on 63kg)- he has defected, but will keep him for now.

Marcus Nyman (90kg, 2208 - he still has a 10 and 20 to replace on the rankings)

Enej MArinic (+100kg, 2153pt, still competing)

 

 

I believe we have for now  remain eligible for the Team - I though Hungary had lost it, but they can still have a team with 52kg, 63kg and 70kg with women and 81, 90 and remains with the TI for 73)

[Josh 10,509]

Frascadore isn’t entered in any events right? So by my reckoning, for Canada it’ll be between Kelly Deguchi (women’s 52kg) and Louis Krieber Gagnon (men’s 90kg) for one of the continental quotas?

Not sure if the points for Goshen (ISR) are right. I think she only gained 20 points here, and loses 10 which means she is at 2472, of course she could gain another 80, but that still has to be done. 
goshen at least so far is not registered for any open tournaments. 
 

Tais should be at 2469 after 2nd round at WCH, but she can’t improve anymore.
