Does that mean nations can't earn two quotas in the same event at the same qualifier? That makes things interesting, but I could be reading it wrong. That's what it sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they just decided to scratch all MQS requirements? That's lunacy. Are we going to see universality athletes hitting 50/125 in skeet at the Olympics or something? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted April 7, 2022 #133 Share Posted April 7, 2022 At least they removed the mixed team quotas, so there will be no athletes heading to the Olympics this time just to take part in team shooting of all things. intoronto 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so little universality slots now that they will likely select athletes that would have met previous MQS standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I got something terribly wrong, some athlete can appear at the Oceanian Championships in women's trap. Hit 0/125 targets, but get ranking points and therefore be eligible for the Olympics? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, athletes need to have participated in at least two events and they must have a ranking in the world rankings. Ranking points have a minimum number of participants, notably 15 for continental championships so countries in Africa and Oceania are at a disadvantage. Maybe someone from Pan America could sneak in.

Great, so you can be from then, hit 0/125 targets in both Pan Am Championships, and be eligible for the universality spot. intoronto 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still need to finish in the top 15 at the continental qualifiers in order to get points and outside of women's trap and skeet we typically have 30+ competitors so there's at least some standard, but yes there is a chance that someone in women's skeet could be given a free spot.
