Medalists at London 2012 not Qualified for Rio 2016


Recommended Posts

2016MedalistsatLondon.png

 

 

 

Hello :)

 

I thought it'd be interesting to work on a list of London 2012 medalists who didn't qualify (or likely won't qualify) for Rio 2016. I am specifically talking about athletes/teams who missed out on qualification, not on athletes/teams who simply retired.

 

Some basic rules:

1. Athletes who didn't qualify because they retired at a time they could still technically qualify for Rio won't count

2. Athletes who didn't qualify because they are banned will only count if they are officially still 2012 medalists (example: no Alptekin)

3. Athletes who are still active but were apparently not good enough to be selected for qualifiers will count

The Romanian women's gymnastic team could be in trouble as well (according to the experts in the gymnastics thread): if they don't qualify that would be a huge thing, considering they won a medal in the last 10 straight Olympics.

 

Any more examples?

Saudi Arabia failed to qualify a team in show jumping after winning a bronze in London. Moreover, they didn't even qualify in individual jumping, for the first time in 24 years.

Canada's men's eights in rowing

Mark Oldershaw and Adam van Koeverden have yet to qualify in canoeing/kayaking.

Christine Giriard is still competing but with only one spot doesn't look like she will make the team.

    • Suspect strongly that the Sultan of  is behind Global Wushu!     Another one is long distance & ultra triathlon.  There are literally millions being paid out in prize money to attract big name athletes from several sports, huge FTA TV coverage but seemingly no prospect of any profit.   And the classic is obstacle racing, which has effectively bought up the ownership of Modern Pentathlon.
    • apparently the Japanese organizers rejected OCA's nice request    now OCA is ordering them to do so in a not-so-nice language https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decision_-_103rd_OCA_EB_Meeting_5ypY8y4.pdf   the last line is very interesting   I knew this for a while, for example that's why Jujjtsu is included in all of OCA events (despite being the worst sport to watch) but good to see OCA admit this. so with the corrupt OCA you can buy your way in. how much they paid the OCA officials for this ?   OK I know Qatar is financially supporting Padel (and UAE is paying everything for Jujitsu) but who is behind Teqball?  ! I don't think Thailand can do that. 
    • Important information on team Aerials.   There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.   https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf
