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.

    • The Italian team's form is currently disastrous, especially after their excellent performance at the World Championships in March in Hamar. The miss of qualifications for the women's team is just one of bad news. The second is that Lollibrigida is completely out of form and Ghiotto has her worst results in 4 years at the World Cup. The Italian women's distance team should have been built around Lollibrigida 4 years ago, but with her gone, there's practically no one competing. Peveri and Marletti were there a few years ago, and where are they now? Another huge missed opportunity with the Olympics at home. But of course we are not as lucky as the Czech Republic to have another phenomenon after Sablikova, even though there is not even 1 professional track in the entire country!!! If someone like that appeared among us... Before Paris 2024, Marchand appeared in France in swimming and won several gold medals. No one else appeared in our country and 90% of our medal hopefuls are well over 30 years and already won medals in 2022 and 2018. This is the biggest problem for us.

    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
