People here a bit tough on Australia(again!)

Looking at their team I'd say that the only soft qualifications they have are in boxing -Australia  has remarkably little interest in all the combative sports -and they give out a huge number of medals especially to Japan in judo .Sth Korea in twaekwondo ,Italy in fencing etc etc - 

and synchronised swimming - the one aquatic discipline which is considered a joke by most (sorry ladies )

New Zealand is the country with the soft entry in association football.They would be favourites to come last (again) in both tournaments

Off the top of my head Australia wouldn’t qualify in Archery, Breaking, Badminton, Modern Pentathlon, Artistic Swimming, Weightlifting. 

 

Boxing they would probably qualify, Parker and Garside are good boxers.

Judo, number of JPN gold medals in London 2012: 1, in Rio 2016: 3 (only exception, Tokyo 2020 as they hosted the Games and you know...Home Soil is always Home Soil)

 

Fencing, number of ITA gold medals in Rio 2016: 1, in Tokyo 2020: 0

 

Taekwondo, number of KOR gold medals in Rio 2016: 2, in Tokyo 2020: 0

 

once again, you're wrong and heavily biased...and a lot more than those people you think are biased :pope:

weightlifting, actually they have a woman who's a medal contender (Chikamatana) ;)

modern pentathlon, right now they're a bit off, but they still have some tradition (Esposito taking women's gold in London Rio)

Archery, they also have some tradition...better not underestimate them...but yeah, this time I don't think they're good enough to qualify without the help of the Continental qualifiers

Just going to go off topic for a second. :d

 

:JPN Japan is going to reject their women's 4x100m freestyle relay quota.

 

:IRL Ireland will get the quota.

We know approximately how many Japanese swimmers will qualify for Paris? with these restrictions so severe the figure will not be high

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Early Qualification Predictions

      By orangeman · Posted

      As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around.

      I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.

      Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.

      I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

      Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector

      Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
