 The list of confirmed sports for Accra 2023.

 

A total of eight sports at Accra 2023 are set to serve as qualifying events for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ©Accra 2023

 

 

 

According to this, 8 sports will serve as Olympic qualifying events.

 

1. Athletics - Ranking Score/Entry Standards

2. Badminton - Ranking Points

3. Cycling - Rankng Points for Mountain Bike and BMX Racing? 

4. Swimming - Olympic Qualifying Times

5. Table Tennis - Ranking Points?

6. Tennis - Continental Quotas for Singles' Winners

7. Triathlon - Ranking Points

8. Wrestling - ?

 

There are three Olympic Qualifying sports on the programme which I can't fully see how will serve as qualification events for Paris 2024.

 

Cycling: 

If it's only road cycling, I can't see how it can serve as a qualifying event as the Olympic ranking has ended and the African Champs was held this year. Of course, if the African Champs, which was held in Accra, served as part of this programme, then it was a qualifying event. 

The other options for qualifying events for cycling at these Games would be in mountain bike and BMX racing. Ranking points could be at stake. I'm not sure track cycling would be included as an event for the Games.

 

Table Tennis:

My best guess would be that this event would serve as an event giving out ranking points to the Team, Singles and Mixed Doubles Olympic Ranking.

 

Wrestling:

This is the only sport where I can't seem to comprehend how it would serve as an Olympic qualification event? 

The African & Oceania Olympic Qualification Tournament has already been confirmed to be held March 22–24, :EGY Cairo, so what other qualification opportunities would there be?

@Wumo you haven’t even got to “Taekwondo - Olympic Upgrade” yet :p

 

Why does this event have to be a massive clusterfuck every cycle? African countries can clearly organize multi-sports events without it turning into some massive debacle (Abidjan 2017, Sal 2019 being a great examples).

 

Also, shout-out to “scrabble” for making its multi-sport games debut :lol:

Great effort ..I have no idea how cycling serves as a qualifier to Olympics

 

Table Tennis: the tournement is serving only in the olympic ranking as the direct qualification would be through african championship in :TUN this september

 

Wrestling: it's just ranking tournemnt ..would impact the draw later on no more I think

 

thanks

would be great to see African games organisers to adopt good live scoring website and tools similar to Asian games (which is similar to Tokyo 2020 website interface)

last version of african games was mostly results tools (giving u the results after the events finish) and some times after the event by couple of hours!

having live results would add a great boost to the game I hope.

The African Beach Games and African Para Games didn’t even have official websites. I’m not getting my hopes up for March :(

I should have asked first about the venue construction and completion before asking for this luxurious tools :facepalm:

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
