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.

    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
    • what the heck ? how are some rowers who placed 5th at worlds more of a breakthrough of the year then Tajus Juška ? ,especially after the season that he had ? i need to know who actually voted for them,this is utterly stupid. 
    • There are only 2 months left, so it will be hard But Mattarella - the president of Italy is a big volleyball fan, so maybe somehow it will work very speed?   https://www.oasport.it/2025/12/il-fenomeno-noumory-keita-giochera-per-litalia-richiesta-la-cittadinanza-ma-ce-lo-scoglio-del-nuovo-regolamento/
