Our women's 49er FX crew will have a very difficult task, even though they showed a big improvement at the last year's World Championships. I have also already assumed that African quota would be reallocated to Ireland, what would make our qualification a bit easier, but looks like Algeria denied that.

 

On the other hand, it will be a huge dissapointment if we don't qualify in men's RS:X. It's too easy, 2 quotas for only 7 nations (and that includes Latvia, Slovakia and Turkey). And I also expected that we would qualify in men's RS:X before this regatta...


Do you know which country will receive the men's 49er reallocated spot from Oceania?

That one already went to Croatia. All unused quotas are reallocated already.

Don't be so disrespectful towards Slovak sailors. You had a sailor at the Olympics as recently as in 2008. :p

 

yes Patrik Polák, he competed 2 times at olympics, 2004 and 2008, btw he was also few years ago world champion in non olympic raceboard:d but he is a exception.

Because Algeria is most unlikely to compete in the 49er and 49erFX, I assumed that the unused African quota would be distributed to Belgium and Ireland. I just also heard that a NZ might deny a slot in men's RS:X, since JP Tobin has decided to quit his Rio campaign, citing lack of funding support from Yachting NZ.

Looks like we celebrated those Algerian quotas too early. Algeria seemingly pulled out of this regatta, in all classes.

 

Since we don't have any African nations in women's 470, men's 49er and women's 49er FX, those quotas will be reallocated to the next best nations from 2015 Worlds. Switzerland in women's 470, Belgium in men's 49er and Ireland in women's 49er FX.

  • 2 weeks later...

Tunisia didn't compete in Nacra 17 today. They had DNC in all of the races. So, I wonder, will they be still qualified even if they have DNC in all races? That seems to be the flaw of sailing competition system, you get your ranking and you get your penalty points even if you don't compete in a single race!

 

Meanwhile, looks like Julie of Seychelles is dominating Esseghir of Tunisia in Finn. He has around 40 penalties of advantage after two races!

 

But, something still seems weird here. Apparently, almost half of the field in women's 49er FX had DNC in the first race (and that includes our contenders for Olympic qualification Ninčević/Dujmović!! :facepalm:).

Same for the second race. If that is correct then I am afraid it means bye rio for our ladies.

 

It looks better in RSX. Is Belarus actually already qualified or not?

Officially they are not qualified, but unofficially they should be. Anyway, even if they are not, the things are looking good there. Czech sailor probably outdone himself on day 1... We also have Fantela who is a very good "back-up".

    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall. 
    • Finally got around to updating post 2 with results from last weekend...that's a lot of German and Austrian flags!
