This all but assures Russia cannot qualify directly through the WR for the 2026 Olympics correct?

 

Depends on when they will be allowed to compete again. If they can start right off in Division 1 and be promoted in 2023 then they should be fine.

Well, I already wrote it a couple of days ago in the MIlano-Cortina Thread

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

From usually well infromed sources the different national hockey federations were already informed about the Men tournament qualification format for Milano/Cortina 2026.

 

Same format will be played as the Vancouver, Sochi, PyeongChang and Beijing tournaments.

 

12 teams tournament, 8 qualified directly via IIHF ranking after next year 2023 World Championships, 1 automatical host quota for Bella Italia and 3 will advance from 4 rounds qualification Tournaments, with 9th, 10th and 11th ranked IIHF 2023 country hosting the final qualification tournaments.

 

The final IIHF world ranking will be counted the usual way:

 

 

Last 4 WChs and last Olympic Tournament will be counted,

 

• with the 2023 WCh having 100% counts, 2022 WCh 75%, WCh 2021 50% and WCh 2020 (since was not played due pandemic the 2019 will be used instead) 25% 
• and The last Olympics have 100% counting value.

 

So basically the qualifying ranking right now for Milano looks so

 

Rank	NOC	WCh 2023	WCh 2022	WOG 2022	WCh 2021	WCh 2020(19)	Total
1.				1200	1160	1120	1760
2.				1160	1060	1160	1690
3.				1040	1200	1200	1680
4.				1060	1120	1040	1615
5.				1120	1000	960	1580
6.				1100	960	1100	1580
7.				1000	1040	1000	1520
8.				940	1100	1020	1510
9.				960	1020	1060	1495
10.				1020	900	900	1440
11.				920	920	940	1385
12.				880	880	920	1330

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

this the amount of points nations win via WCH

 

1.	1200	9.	960	17.	800	25.	640	33.	480	41.	320
2.	1160	10.	940	18.	780	26.	620	34.	460	42.	300
3.	1120	11.	920	19.	760	27.	600	35.	440	43.	280
4.	1100	12.	900	20.	740	28.	580	36.	420	44.	260
5.	1060	13.	880	21.	720	29.	560	37.	400	45.	240
6.	1040	14.	860	22.	700	30.	540	38.	380	46.	220
7.	1020	15.	840	23.	680	31.	520	39.	360	47.	200
8.	1000	16.	820	24.	660	32.	500	40.	340	48.	180

 

 

so if they not allowed to play in Dvision I A this year (which they will not) it means at max 720 for 21st place (will be counted 75%)

and next year (assuming they will be relegated again) and they win the Division I B it is 680 points for 23rd place (100% counted) that would be really bad for them but again we muxt count the 1160 points from Beijing which can at the end save them

As she is only demanding they be neutrals rather than a ban I can’t see the ITF refusing to implement her demands.

The Olympics will account for 100% of the value this time? I thought it would be 75%?

 

Regardless assuming your scenario happens, Russia will have 2910 points which going by the 2022 Olympics, would put them on the outside.

Nice message from Pavlyuchenkova. Tennis players are mostly independent athletes, besides Davis Cup/BJKC/ATP Cup/Olympics, it is kinda the same if they play as neutrals.

I'm not sure if this has been reported here, but FIG has taken action:

Not sure if this ban is for the time being or if it affects events in the future; however, it seems likely that the rhythmic gymnastics World Challenge Cups in Russia and Belarus will not take place.

I will be  surprised if the Russian and Belarusian teams are allowed into the Uk for the worlds in Liverpool later this year as things stand.
