The first qualification event could also be the South American qualifier for women's football.

No they are not. They are only approved around the Winter Olympics. Likely the 2022 ISSF Championships will be the first one to hand out quotas as per tradition. 

The first sport qualification phase start is Judo, is start in May 2022

I suppose similar might be for track and field? Well, that makes me wonder. Will WCH in Eugene count into the Road to Paris? When there is WCH 2023 in Budapest so I would guess results from Eugene would not count?

It's now or never. The pandemic is far from over, so this is a unique chance for qualification systems to replace ranking with direct tournament qualifications whenever possible.

 

Probably not going to happen anyway, but oh well.

Why? I think ranking qualification is much better and fair. 
if tournament you can be injured or just have bad day and miss  the olympics.

Agree with you

A mix of both is fine and most sports have a system that suits them. I prefer direct qualification for most sports but rankings definitely suit some 

 

The tokyo delay added a few complications but it’ll be back to ‘normal’ for Paris you’d imagine

Also not correct, cause if they don’t change it, taekwondo has already started

That's why you have multiple direct qualifiers.

 

Ranking qualifications always give advantage to those with more resources. Not to mention that there are sports whose rankings literally allow points farming (3x3 basketball, cycling etc).

[JoshMartini007 2,769]

Yeah, ranking qualification forces athletes to participate in 10+ events which can lock out some athletes who have little investments and a lot of them can be manipulated to the point where some rankings are horrible in predicting who is actually the best.

 

While I accept that in some sports, rankings will always be there, I do wish that in all sports there is at least one opportunity to allow athletes for direct qualification.
