EselTheDonkey 772 Posted March 16, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Fencing: Britta Heidemann (Silver in London, Gold in Beijing) is in serious danger to miss Rio. Though she does still have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,214 Posted March 16, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 16, 2016 for Italy: Boxing: Cammarelle, bronze in Athens, Gold in Beijing and moral Gold in London did retire Open Water Swimming: Martina Grimaldi (bronze in London) didn't qualify Judo: Rosalba Forciniti (bronze in the women's -52kg category) is no longer competing in the world class events because of too many injuries Fencing: Occhiuzzi (individual silver and bronze with the team) must still earn his spot in the men's sabre, where the other team members from London Tarantino (retired) and Samele (not qualified) are already sure to miss the 2016 Games the same for the men's team foil, which qualified for the Games but it will have at least 1 (maybe 2) new faces (Valerio Aspromonte for sure won't be part of the 2016 campaign) and someone already wrote about Vezzali and the 4th member of the women's team foil Men's Archery and Rhytmic Gymnastics: both teams qualified for the Games, but most likely they will have a few new faces among their members (thus meaning that not all the London medallists in those 2 events will be in Rio) Men's Waterpolo: also in this case, the team is still to earn their spot and in any case it won't be exactly the same of 4 years ago and finally it's already been written about shooting and taekwondo (where not only Molfetta missed the qualification, but also Sarmiento - bronze in London and silver in Beijing in the men's -80kg - did retire some time ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say so, because technically they were apparently not good enough to be chosen Although these athletes could get an asterisk at their names or something similar. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Without looking at rosters I'm sure almost every medal winning team of 2012 will have some new names this time. Therefore, for team events I would just look at the nations (like the Romanian women's gymnasts, the mentioned fencing teams, the Russian basketball team or the Japanese football women).

heywoodu 13,663 Posted March 16, 2016 Author #25 Share Posted March 16, 2016 And another note (I know, it's hard to make a clear set of rules ): I would not add athletes who are banned, like Zaripova (?) or athletes of nations who are banned, like Russian athletics. It's not like they actually missed out on qualification, they just aren't allowed to participate.

mrv86 2,940 Posted March 17, 2016 #29 Share Posted March 17, 2016 From Mexico, Mariana Avitia (Bronze, Women's Individual Archery) didn't make it to the team this time. Also Laura Sanchez (Bronze, Women's 3m Springboard) chances are slim, as it will depend if FINA chooses to award the places obtained at World Cup to the divers that obtained them (as independent competitors) or will leave it to the Mexican Federation to decide which divers to send.

MantaRaymarc 76 Posted March 17, 2016 #30 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) for United States: * Beach Volleyball: Misty May-Treanor has already retired after her competition play in London with her partner Kerri Walsh, whose teamed up currently with April Ross for their Rio 2016 bid. * Boxing: Olympic bronze medalist Marlene Esparza lost her bid to Virginia Fuchs in the women's flyweight at the Olympic trials. * Diving: Boudia's synchronized platform partner Nick McCrory retired in March 2015 to pursue medical studies. * Gymnastics: Although the U.S. women's artistic gymnastics team already qualified for Rio to defend their title, Olympic silver medalist McKayla Maroney retired just less than six months before the Games. Obviously, the Americans are expected to have a few new faces among their members, including rising star Simona Biles, (thus meaning that not all the London medallists will be in Rio). * Shooting: Olympic champion Jamie Lynn Gray has already retired, and did not compete since London 2012. * Taekwondo: Terrence Jennings lost his bid to five-time Olympian Steven Lopez at the Olympic trials. Any details missing? Edited March 17, 2016 by MantaRaymarc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
