Surfing Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...

Last friday we had the last stage of Challenger Series. Consequently new surfers for the 2023 season of WCT.

 

Then, I'd like to make an overview about the possibilites for each country

 

Men

 

:AUS:BRA:USA/ :HWI are the favorites for take two quotas each. The other four quotas will be in contender among , Leonardo Fioravanti :ITARio Waida :INAMaxime Huscenot :FRARamzi Boukhiam :MAR, Kanoa Igarashi :JPN, Jordy Smith :RSA and Matthew McGillivray :RSA. I am not sure if Carlos Munõz :CRC will receive an invitation, once he got injured this season. 

 

Women

 

Here the things might be interesting. :AUS and :USA/ :HWI will take four of eight quotas.

 

But, there are only three surfers for the four quotas left. Brisa Hennessy :CRC, Johanne Defay :FRA and Tatiana Weston-Webb :BRA. So, on this way, the last quota is going to be reallocated to ISA Games 2024.

 

However, we always have possibilities that a wildcard surfer, or even a replace for someone who got injured, participates in the circuit, conquer enough points to finish in the top 18, and take this place.

Championship Tour Olympic Quotas (After Two Events)

 

Men

:AUS Jack Robinson

:BRA Filipe Toledo

:BRA Joao Chianca

:ITA Leonardo Fioravanti

:USA Griffin Colapinto

:HWI John John Florence

:AUS Ethan Ewing / :AUS Liam O'Brien

:RSA Jordy Smith

:RSA Matthew McGillivray

:JPN Kanoa Igarashi / :INA Rio Waida

 

Decided to run a quick simulation now that we've had two events. Hawaiian athletes will represent the United States at the Olympics. Australia, Brazil, South Africa and the United States currently have two quotas. Ewing and O'Brien are tied for the second Australian quota while Igarashi and Waida are tied for the last quota.

 

Women

:HWI Carissa Moore

:AUS Molly Picklum

:AUS Tyler Wright

:HWI Gabriela Bryan

:CRC Brisa Hennessy

:BRA Tatiana Weston-Webb

:POR Teresa Bonvalot

:FRA Johanne Defay

 

Currently, there are only eight eligible athletes competing in the Championship Tour so the intra-national competition of Australia and Hawaii/United States may be the most interesting part going forward. However, there's a rule that an athlete must finish in the top 18 to be eligible to qualify so there's a chance of someone not reaching the cut-off and the quota being reallocated. Right now the pressure is on Defay to get healthy again

Robinson will take this Australian quota easily... he is in another level.

 

Medina and Italo are in trouble for Brazilian competition.

 

The qualification of two surfers from South Africa is an excellent thing for Boukhiam, whou couldnt compete in the first two events.

 

Huscenot, Waida e Munoz, the last is a replacement on the tour, need to improve their performance quickly to fight for their spot.

The women's competition will be quite boring. As you said only 8 eligible surfers, and this only because Teresa had the opportunity to compete. Otherwise it would be only 7 surfers.

 

The top 18 is not a hard thing as well, because surfers invited cant count for the ranking this year. Even though, Defay needs to avoid the last position, which could take her spot out.

Actually, I was thinking that the women's ranking were counting with 18 surfers without Teresa. But, it is counting 18 with her.

 

So, I think Defay don't even need to participate on the tour, to get her spot. May have a rule about being mandatory the presence in at least one event, so she could just take her board and enter in the sea, and the quota is her. Like some surfers do with the mandatory participation in ISA competitions.

I don't think ISA took into account the possibility of an injured athlete getting an Olympic quota. As far as I know, Defay still hasn't pulled out of the remaining events before the midseason cut, but it's hard to imagine she will be 100% for the third event which at that point she might as well rest and plan to requalify to the 2024 Championship Tour.

That's the point, we don't know if she has to participate or not. As I said, she could just take her board and get in any competition, just to say that she "competed". As for the requalification, she can receive an invitation for next year, because she got injured. But it depends on WSL's decision.

Championship Tour Olympic Quota Simulation (After Three Events)

 

Men

:AUS Jack Robinson

:BRA Joao Chianca

:BRA Filipe Toledo

:USA Griffin Colapinto

:ITA Leonardo Fioravanti

:AUS Callum Robson

:HWI John John Florence

:INA Rio Waida

:RSA Jordy Smith

:RSA Matthew McGillivray

 

 

Chianca's victory places him as the top ranked Brazilian. Toledo's poor performance has allowed Caio Ibelli to be within striking distance. Callum Robson is now the second Australian thanks to his semifinal appearance. Rio Waida moves up to a safer position and with the mid-season cut-off approaching the race among the non-American/Australian/Brazilian spots is looking to be between five athletes (the four list above plus :JPN Igarashi).

 

Women

:AUS Molly Picklum

:HWI Carissa Moore

:USA Caitlin Simmers

:AUS Tyler Wright

:BRA Tatiana Weston-Webb

:CRC Brisa Hennessy

:POR Teresa Bonvalot

:FRA Johanne Defay

 

Simmers takes the second USA quota from Bryan thanks to her win. Not much more to discuss.

Igarashi out of the qualified athletes is a huge surprise. They got a "third quota" at last ISA Games, and the easiest quota, he is not taking it. Also, Huscenot is a big disappointment from France.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
