Rowing changes: LW2x (men and women), Asia and Americas each lose a boat (-8 quotas), and the Quad and Fours each lose a boat (-16). I wish they saved one of the fours events and reduced all continental quotas to one boat max.

 

I don't think it would be good for rowing's long term stability if they reduced the continental quotas. It already has difficulties in terms of diversity/competitive nations in the larger boats. If boxing/modern pentathlon/weightlifting ever get off of the IOC's radar, rowing could be the next target.

Wow the swimming A times. Insane.

The Olympics Qualifying Times OQT are just the 14th time of heats of previous Olympics in the particular event. (They use 14th place of previous for Tokyo too).

But Olympic Consideration Time OCT is just OQT + 0,5% which is insane.

 

In case of Tokyo OCT was OQT + 3,0%.

To be fair, very few athletes actually qualified through the OST/OCT in 2020. With the reduction of swimming quotas, there's a chance we may not even use them.

It does matter though.

 

How on earth do they expect 16 relays to qualify with these OSTs? 16 is waaaay to much for swimming anyways, given the inflation of relay events. It should be 12 at best.

There are no longer minimum time standards for relays. Honestly the OCT is pretty useless now, they might as well say any extra spots will be awarded to the next highest ranked athletes.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
