Did anyone know if results from upcoming World Cup, which will be held in South Africa have any influence in Olympic qualifications? Either direct qualification or points to ranking or something or nothing?

Maybe it can influence in the teams choosen to participate at each continental event. Not sure about that, but it wouldn't be a huge influence in terms of the potential qualified teams.

 

Once the ranking will be used only for HSBC Sevens Series, and the final tournament will participate teams not yet qualified from continental tournaments.

Nope. 4 spots in the 2023 World Series, then one spot for each continent, then one spot at the final repechage tournament. 

This time WR included the case where both USA and Canada qualified via the WS, in order to avoid a team like Mexico getting a free ticket, before it happened. Surprised they didn't foresee the possibility that Australia, NZ and Fiji did. If so I doubt they would award PNG a continental spot.

 

@rybak this window is probably the best for Poland to qualify (assuming they won't progress to an even better status in the coming years). France is automatically qualified, Russia excluded, Spain rebuilding. The only issue is that both Ireland and GB probably won't qualify through the WS.

Yeah, if anything this scenario is more likely than both Canada and USA finishing in the top 4. I imagine they will chance the rules to screw over PNG

It would be a spineless decision, but they do have a precedent...

 

Imo, rugby sevens is still facing growing pains which started immediately after the freshness of Rio expired, basically.

More so on the women's side. The depth is still pretty low and once you go through the top 12 or so teams the quality declines sharply. At least on the men's side we have depth teams. While I don't expect much from teams like :GER :HKG :TGA :UGA :URU they won't be completely embarrassed.

There is also the issue of three-day tournaments, which I don't think is all that great for any multi-sports games, in particular the Olympics. It just comes and goes amidst other action.


Paris scheduling is a novelty with the group stages starting before the Opening ceremony and the finals on the first days. I am pretty confident this was done to increase viewership more than anything else.

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
