The first event is set to take part this week, you can watch and see results here.

 

This is an Olympic qualification series where the top 10 eligible men and top 8 eligible women qualify to the Olympics (max two athletes per nation per event and they must finish in the top 34 and 18 respectively).

 

The eligibility requirements likely won't matter too much for the men (outside of the two athletes per nation rule for ), but for the women it might. Only seven eligible athletes are part of the main group, but the first injury reserve is from and thus could sneak into the Olympics should she get enough appearances. She is set to compete in this event, replacing Defay who needs to get better soon lest she gives up what is essentially a free quota.

An amazing start for Fioravanti, he is obsessed for Olympics. Peterson also was very disappointed when lost the second quota for USA. Both will battle for these places.
