How did you know that Israel rejected the quota place?

Delila Hatuel got the quota, however she didnt make the israeli criteria, she had to make final 32 in the european championships or top 16 in an fie world cup competition.

 

She didnt, it's a huge deal, social media trying to convince the Israeli Olympic Committee to let her go however they are refusing. This morning i heard interview with the head of the Israeli Olympic Committee Gili Lustig and he reiterated that since she didnt make the Israeli Criteria she will not be allowed to compete in Rio and the quota will be rejected

Who takes over the rejected quota from israel

 directly from the FIE official document about qualification:

 

REALLOCATION OF UNUSED QUALIFICATION PLACES
(...)
- If the fencer qualified through the zone qualifying event, the quota place will be reallocated to the next best ranked fencer in the same weapon, at the same zone qualifying event.

 

so, the winner is: :UKR Olga A. Leleyko

 

 

however:

"The FIE will confirm the team quota places and the names of the fencers who qualified through the FIE Ranking Lists and the zone qualifying events to the NOCs/NFs on 9 May 2016. NOCs must confirm to the FIE by latest midnight (GMT+1) on 6 June 2016, the use of team quota places and the participation of each fencer qualified by name. From 12 June 2016, the FIE will reallocate the quota places which have not been confirmed by the NOCs."

 

and as of today, July 7th the starting list for the women's individual Foil on the FIE Olympic website still reports Hatuel's name (even if they clearly say that this list is still a provisional one...but, at the same time, we are now already a good month beyond the confirmation date)...

so, I'm not so sure that at the end ISR NOC decline her quota place...:mumble:

so the situation is that Hatuel went to a court that denied that request, now she is appealing and protesting it, she really wants to go, it's her last shot since she was retired already, and came back in order to try to make the team through the zonal event. Btw she beat Valentina Vezzali in Beijing.....

A couple of Australian sailors already went to CAS to appeal against the national standards, but that didn't work out for them since CAS decided against them, so I doubt Hatuel will have any different result (although maybe a national thing thinks otherwise...if they select her, I guess they'd have to select a whole ton of other athletes in other sports as well).

Another change in the list...

 

According to this article (in spanish), :DOM Felix de Lara earned a black card in the Pan American Championships last months earning a 2 month suspension; this means :PAN Eileen Grench will take her place in Rio.

What do you have to do to earn a black card?

    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.
    • Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.
    • In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
    • Turienzo is developing! She's still away from the level of Nolot, Moroz and Kampman but I expect a good performance at the WCh. Her peak years are still to come (not even 20 yet).
    • in the first night of freestyle finals, Russia won 4 out of 5 golds. they have 2 in the final tomorrow, I think they can reach their pre-tournament goal of winning 6 golds.   but interestingly all 20 medalists of tonight were either from Ex-Soviet countries or Russian mercenaries representing somewhere else   I think it's fair to say men's freestyle wrestling is dead and buried in Europe unfortunately. (I mean the old Europe excluding Ex-Soviets) hopefully the new UWW policy pushes some of these countries to restart their own program instead of just buying mercenaries but that will take time.
    • It was rather a little joke on my part - she never competed on a bike, like Sablikova, but rather combined skating with roller skating. I very like her character- she is very similar to Longo Borghini and unfortunately not every our women`s cyclist has something like that.
