Iran gets one via ranking in W57 for sure. Still with a chance in M58, and a tiny but not likely in M80. @MHSN

nothing is guaranteed in Taekwondo, you are qualified only when you are mathematically qualified. I believe there are still 100+60 pts left for everybody plus 40+20 for non-European athletes. (what about African Games ? cancelled or what ?) and some athletes can still gain points from minor events too.

 

you can't count on Grand Slam ranking too much. winning gold in the 1st tournament means nothing if you lose early in the 2nd GS. I believe 68kg quota is almost out of reach, unfortunately our #1 and #2 are out because of that mysterious doping story. and this kid Rezaei is not consistent at all. 58kg and 80kg quotas are still possible. (80kg is much harder though) and for +80kg we only can count on the Grand Slam. we always claim we are good enough to qualify a full 4-man team but that's wishful thinking for now.

 

Asian Qualifier is also very tricky, you always can run into a very good unseeded kid from TPE or THA, this time even South Korea will send some athletes. China too on the men's side. even maybe Uzbekistan. 

 

2 quotas will be great for the women's team. 57kg looks good (still not safe) and Nematzadeh at 49kg is not far from top 10 despite missing both 2022 and 2023 World Championships (losing in our own trials :facepalm:) I think she will be send to the Asian Qualifier but you never know with our federation.

I was referring to ranking only 

W57 I think it is safe for you. The other two rather no than yes.

Lauren Williams had a decent result this weekend compared to her recent performances and she came very close to getting through to quarter finals so I think she'll take a lot of positives away from the competition particularly if she feels she is back to full fitness. She's currently about 80 points shy of a quota spot so she has a pretty steep mountain to climb but it isn't impossible - a lot will come down to whether she is going to go chasing the points at the various G1 level events through the early autumn. If she does go to the lower-level tournaments, it's not inconceivable that it could all come down to her performance in the Grand Prix Final in Manchester - but unfortunately I think she is going to come up short and miss out on Paris.

Potentially some early indications that Lauren Williams is going to chase qualifying points - she appears on the entry list for the Serbia Open later this month. It is just G1 level event so only 10 points on offer for the winner. 

 

I think she has probably left herself too much to do but it is good to see that she isn't going to give up without a fight.

How many possible points are left for her to get before year's end?

A lot depends on how many tournaments she is going to enter but realistically there are only two big set pieces left this year for her - the Taiyuan Grand Prix and the Manchester Grand-Prix Final.

 

Outside of those there are G-1 level tournaments pretty much every week that she could take part in but in all likelihood, she's not going to compete in the immediate run-up or aftermath of those 2 big events so that probably leaves her with a maximum of 4 G-1 Level events that she could fit into her schedule:

 

23-Sept: Belgrade Open (G-1 Level) 10 Points

10-Oct: Taiyuan Grand Pric (G-6 Level) 60 Points 

21-Oct: Qatar Oper (G-1 Level) 10 Points

28-Oct: Either Dracula Open or Swedish Open (G-1 Level) 10 Points

3-Nov: Cyprus Open (G-1 Level) 10 Points

11-Nov: French Open (G-1 Level) 10 Points

2-Dec: Manchester Grand-Prix Final (G-10 Level) 100 Points

 

So, if she went all out for qualification and won everything there would be around 200 points available but worth bearing in mind that competitors from Asia and Pan-American region will also have their continental championships (G-4 Level) in this window. 

 

Before everyone piles in - I am not saying she is going to win everything or that it is highly likely that she is going to qualify. I am simply making the case that there is a very narrow path for her to qualify through the rankings. 

 

I think that the picture will be much clearer after Taiyuan - if she goes out in the early rounds, then the path to qualification probably won't be there for her.

    • 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
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • 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
