How does the OQS work with this sport?  There is no direct qualification from the OQS, only from the OWSR; there is nothing in the World Skate Regulations that refers to the ranking points scale for these events (are they 'World Championships' or Pro Tour?); will other events in 2024 after the World Champs also qualify for ranking points?  :question:

It only counts points to rankings. We don't know in which level will World Skate put these competitions. For Tokyo they had 5 scales, and now they just separated in Pro Tour and Worlds... I don't think they are going to change it, and I believe they will consider these events as Pro Tour.

 

Meanwhile, I think they will schedule other events to complete their calendar. We don't have any other skateboarding events this year, and only two until the games seems so few.

I forgot, we have street Worlds to be competed in December.

World Skate's management of skateboarding is an abomination. Thankfully, it does seem like most of the top athletes are able to make it to their competitions.

The new bulletin answered that. Basically many many points.

 

We will have the pro tour in Dubai in march and then OQS in Xangai and Budapest for both park ans street

So looking at the qualification rankings, :USA Jagger Eaton is in a qualifying position in both park and street. Anyone know if there'll be a quota reallocation or not?

No, he will get both quotas

    • 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.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
