African Games 2023

[Wumo 3,024]

 The list of confirmed sports for 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,  Cairo, so what other qualification opportunities would there be?

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

 

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

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  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
