Athletics Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

It looks like we may go over the 2005 athlete limit set by IAAF. Even ignoring relay only athletes and Russia we're already around the max. I know the larger nations have additional requirements so the real number is lower, but once you add wild cards and relay only athletes plus last minute qualifiers it doesn't look like they will finish at or below the number, especially if Russia is let back in.

 

I wonder if the IOC will do anything about

 

That would be just cruel. And I very much doubt it will happen.

 

IOC would basically have to say to athletes three weeks before Olympics that they can't go because too many qualified. Not to mention that small nations would be the victims.

Probably nothing that time, but maybe we might see IOC and IAAF moving to a fixed number of athletes by event more akin to other sport for future games (droping standards basically) ?

 

Coe was allready admiting after the London Games that they had too many athletes qualified.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to just use a system where the Top-X athletes in event Y qualify a quota place (with of course the usual maximum number of athletes per nation per event)?

IAAF could have avoided this if they made their standards harder and added the next highest ranked athletes if needed like in swimming (in fact that's pretty much what is said in the qualification document). Do we really need almost 200 runners in both marathons?

No, we really do not. 100 is more than enough if you ask me.

Disagree, I will be more than happy to see so many athletes (and so many nations) in this event. :p

Today was the best Ukrainian national championship ever for me, the most intense in my life.

 

3 athletes jumped past 8 m in men's long jump. Serhiy Nykyforov 8.18 (wind assisted +2.2 m/s, 8.11 is legit), 8.11 for Taras Neledva (wind assisted) and 8.05 for Viktor Kuznetsov.

 

Women's 400 m

:UKR Olha Bibik - 51.69

:UKR Yuliya Olishevska - 51.70

:UKR Tetiana Melnyk - 51.92

 

Women's High Jump

:UKR Yulia Levchenko - 1.95 (U23 NR from the 1st attempt, she's 18 years old :d)

Oksana Okuneva improved her standard to 1.97 :clap:

Georgian athlete Valentina Lyashenko almost cleared 1.93 ... she missed it just by a little.

 

Women's Long Jump

:UKR Maryna Bekh - 6.93 :yikes:

(not something unexpected though, she was close to the standard pretty often and FINALLY... + attempts on 6.88 & 6.80)

:UKR Oxana Zubkovska - 6.70

:UKR Anna Kornuta - 6.70

 

Kornuta lost her guaranteed spot in the Olympic team by the number of better attempts. Very dramatic!

Anna Lunyova jumped 6.63. Hryshytyna (she's got a standard already) jumped 6.62 so the battle for the 3rd place between them is not over until the end of  July.

 

7 new standards :cool: during the 2nd day. Crazy results. I hope the next 2 days will be as exciting as today.

 

ps. Nataliya Pohrebniak (100 m) became the winner with 11.11 with -2.2 m/s headwind.

It appears as though Guam has selected a male 800m runner and a female 100m runner as their wild card athletes. Cambodia also selected their athletes, two marathon runners.

Oleksandr Dryhol chose Israel + he's not in the NCH start list so it's 100% that he won't represent Ukraine. I have no info whether he's on "quarantine". But our federations are on good terms so he can appear in Israeli team at the Olympics :d

 

As for events where more than 3 athletes have got the Olympic standard only gold and silver guarantee a place in the Olympic team. The rest 2 athletes (or more) will be judged by the trainers council.

 

Our NCH is open for everyone so we will see many athletes (from the other countries) who are close to achieving the standard.

If Levchenko gains the standard in high jump there will be 4 Ukrainian competitors and none of them can feel safe, because everybody has a real chances to clear 1.93 and higher. + esp gonna cheer for the guest high jumpers: :GEO Valentina Lyashenko and :IND Kumari Sahana. Go, girls! :cheer:

Except Georgia & India, there're Uzbekistan, Belarus, Turkey, Venezuela, Israel & Moldova. Including Belarusian Olympic (2004) champion in 100m.

 

 

 

Link to the event page please. Is the event where Sahana Kumari from India participating a olympic qualification event?

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
