Entry list for final qualification events (European, African and Asian regattas) are out

Europe and Africa http://www.trofeoprincesasofia.org/en/default/races/race-inscriptions

Asia http://www.ac2016.asiansailing.org/index.php/competitor-information/who-is-registered

 

So, who is the biggest hero of this? It's Algeria. :d They have very wisely used the fact that ISAF has introduced continental Olympic quotas for the first time and the fact that some sailing classes are completly non-existent in Africa. They are the only African nation in women's 470, men's 49er,  women's 49er FX and mixed Nacra 17, so they are guaranteed all of those quotas! They will compete in 7 out of 10 classes in Rio (11 sailors in total). To put it in the perspective, Algeria has never qualified a single sailor for the Olympics before. :lol:

but how again WC? It was in october or november 2015? I think that WC in Olympic year is not necessarily ( only in sport where is ranking important is ok)

Yeah, I know it's silly, but in sailing World Championships are every year (even in Olympic years)!

In 2015 was World championships for all classes, in the same date and place, such championships are held only once by 4, in pre-olympic year, I think. In all other years are separate world championships in each class.

The danish 49er with Jonas Warrer and Anders Thomsen which was set to go to the Olympics has broken up.

Instead Jonas Warrer will be trying with a collaboration with Christian Peter Lübeck who was a part of the Nacra 17 ending up in 2nd place in the national qualification.

This makes the danish participation in the class in Rio uncertain, as the national federation will not send a boat if it isn't decently competitive.

    • I'm curious to see if she survives beyond the trimester or even Kontiolahti. In the past, we've often heard that the Swedes are in particularly good form at the start. I still remember Johanna Skottheim the most, she also had a dream week in Kontiolahti four years ago and nothing worked from Hochfilzen onwards. She's still competing in the IBU Cup, but won't make it into the World Cup. We'll have completely different snow conditions in Hochfilzen next week, so everything will start all over again.
    • First Best-on-Best International tournament since 2016… it deserves it’s own thread.
    • Antoni Kowalski actually won his R1 frame/match
    • If there's separate threads for division III international tournaments, I don't see why we can't have an individual thread for the most high powered ice hockey tournament of the year. The World Cup of Hockey in 2016 was a similar event and it had its own thread.
    • I’ll for sure be watching, but does this really need it’s own thread? I’m sure at most 5-7 users on here will be watching it, and we can discuss it on the main NHL thread 
    • Four Nations Face Off rosters have been announced.     Canada Forwards: Sam Bennett (FLA), Anthony Cirelli (TBL), Sidney Crosby (PIT), Brandon Hagel (TBL), Seth Jarvis (CAR), Travis Konecny (PHI), Nathan MacKinnon (COL), Brad Marchand (BOS), Mitch Marner (TOR), Connor McDavid (EDM), Sam Reinhart (FLA), Mark Stone (VGK) Defenseman: Cale Makar (COL), Josh Morrisey (WPG), Colton Parayko (STL), Alex Pietrangelo (VGK), Travis Sandheim (PHI), Shea Theadore (VGK), Devon Toews (COL) Goalies: Jordan Binnington (STL), Adin Hill (VKG), Sam Montembeault (MTL)    United States Forwards: Matt Boldy (MIN), Kyle Connor (WPG), Jack Eichel (VGK), Jake Guentzel (TBL), Jack Hughes (NJD), Chris Kreider (NYR), Dylan Larkin (DET), Auston Matthews (TOR), JT Miller (VAN), Brock Nelson (NYI), Brady Tkachuk (OTT), Matthew Tkachuk (FLA), Vincent Trocheck (NYR) Defenseman: Brock Faber (MIN), Quinn Hughes (VAN), Adam Fox (NYR), Noah Hanifin (VGK), Charlie McAvoy (BOS), Jaccob Slavin (CAR), Zach Werenski (CBJ) Goalies: Connor Hellybuyck (WPG), Jake Oettinger (DAL), Jeremy Swayman (BOS)   No Cole Caufield or Tage Thompson      Finland Forwards: Sebastian Aho (CAR), Joel Armia (MTL), Aleksander Barkov (FLA), Roope Hintz (DAL), Kappo Kakko (NYR), Eric Haula (NJD), Patrik Laine (MTL), Artturi Lehkonen (COL), Eetu Luostarinen (FLA), Mikko Rantanen (COL), Teuvo Taravainen (CHI), Anton Lundell (FLA) Defenseman: Jani Hakanpaa (TOR), Miro Heiskanen (DAL), Esa Lindell (DAL), Niko Mikkola (FLA), Olli Maatta (UTA), Rasmus Ristolainen (PHI), Juuso Valimaki (UTA) Goalies: Juuse Saros (NSH), Kevin Lankinen (VAN), Ukko-Pekka (BUF)   Sweden Forwards: Viktor Arvidsson (EDM), Jesper Bratt (NJD), Leo Carlsson (ANA), Joel Eriksson Ek (MIN), Filip Forsberg (NSH), William Karlsson (VGK), Adrian Kempe (LAK), Elias Lindholm (BOS), William Nylander (TOR), Gustav Nyquist (NSH), Lucas Raymond (DET), Elias Pettersson (VAN), Mika Zibanejad (NYR) Defenseman: Rasmus Andersson (CGY), Jonas Brodin (MIN), Rasmus Dahlin (BUF), Mattias Ekholm (EDM), Gustav Forsling (FLA), Erik Karlsson (PIT), Viktor Hedman (TBL) Goalies: Filip Gustavsson (MIN), Jacob Markstrom (NJD), Linus Ullmark (OTT)   Kraken and Capitals are the only teams to go unrepresented.    For Canada, Parayko over Weegar is certainly a choice, and I would’ve put Thompson over Montembeault. For Sweden, no Eklund or Zetterlund? I believe Eklund has 23 points on the season in 27 games.
