Choong  and Asadauskaite have already qualified in the men's and women's events respectively so if they finish in the top eight the ninth placed athletes will win the quota. No country can take more than two athletes to the Olympics in each event, so any excess quotas will presumably go to lower placed athletes at these championships, although I am not certain of this.. Finally no athlete can win more than one quota for his country and the individual who wins the quote gets the place in Tokyo. Hope that makes sense.

 

I should add that the reason that I'm uncertain whether excess quotas won at these championships will be reallocated is that in the last cycle if countries won more than two quotas they kept them and the selectors then chose which two athletes they sent to Rio. If that still applies then I guess you can only win a quota if you finish in the top eight or nine depending on the performances of Choong and Asadauskaite.

They will use the World Ranking for the reallocation, not the Championship results, so I think it doesn't matter which NOC will get the 9th place here.

" Europe - 8 highest places with a maximum of one (1) quota place per NOC

 

Should the athlete who obtained one (1) of the quota places through the Continental Championships has already qualified via the 2019 UIPM World Cup Final or the 2019 UIPM World Championships, the quota place will be allocated to the next highest placed athlete, not yet qualified, at the respective Continental Championship.

That the ninth place finisher will get a quota if finishing behind Choong or Asadauskaite is the part that I'm certain of. It's the other element I'm uncertain of.

I think this only matters when the Continental Championships happen after the WCh (so Asia and Oceania), because....

 

"Three (3) quota places will be allocated to the three (3) highest placed athletes at the 2019 UIPM World Championships unless previously qualified through the 2019 UIPM World Cup Final or Continental Championships in which case the quota place(s) will be allocated to next highest ranked athlete(s) on the UIPM Olympic World Ranking List of 1 June 2020"

 

So the only way the 9th place can matter here (in the NOC ranking) if Choong or Asadauskaite end up in the Top8 and their teammates won't finish in a qualifying position.

The riding and laser run in the men's final have been delayed due to high winds. They are now scheduled for 5pm (GMT) and 7.15pm respectively.

I wonder why they're not streaming after the countdown has reached 0

There were 62 participants in the men's qualification... 

Yeah, but that is only enough for two qualification groups. With 8 spots on the line, you'd expect everyone to go all out in this one, because it's probably the easiest chance to qualify.

Terrible riding from most of the Hungarian team after a terrible fencing performance. Demeter is the only one who can save our quota.
