And that's it for France  I thought for a moment that our youngsters could save the day against the Russians, but the Rowlandson-Krou olympic dream ends up here. Ah if Rowlandson didn't get injured last year, maybe they could had racked up enough point to secure a direct olympic spot. Maybe... well, that's life.

 

I hope that R-K will stay around for Tokyo.

Vanuatu has reached the semi-final after defeating Kazakhstan 2-0, their next opponent is China, even without their top pair it is going to be hard for them (likely a 2-1 result if they win). Australia vs. Japan is the other semi-final.

 

For the men the semi-finals are Australia vs. China and Kazakhstan vs. Qatar.

Awesome, Australia will be just as hard if not harder. I wish they didn't let nations which already qualified a team compete here.

Van Gestel/Van der Vlist (NED) beat Davydova/Schypkova (UKR) in the final and apparently take the Olympic quota

Venezuela won the women's tournament and will be the South American representative... Belgium and Austria will play the men's final in Europe tomorrow. Qatar will play in Asian men's final (don't know who is the opponent).

 

Results coverage of this is absolutely horrible. The only source of information are various twitter accounts.

The men’s draw was much more straightforward, with Qatar beating Kazakhstan in straight games, and China disposing of Australia, also in straight sets.

 

I'm guessing this means Qatar will play against China?

Looks like it is. I've found out earlier that "Qatar" defeated KAZ, so this should be it.
