I expected Brazil, Australia and New Zealand to do better, but obviously it can still change. 8 quote places would be great for Germany. Quite telling that Germany (right now) would qualify in all events except men's/women's skiff, obviously that is their weak spot.

Really shocking that we are not on this list considering our history in the sport. Even in Tokyo we had 8 quotas (6 boat classes) which was considered low for us.

 

I still think we will qualify some others in the next regattas, but we will probably send something like 3-5 sailors to Paris.

 

470 being reduced to two quotas from four really hurt us, and none of our mixed combinations are anywhere near as good as we were when they had separate genders.

 

We also seemed to do way better in RS:X compared to iQFoil.

 

Finn getting removed also cost us a spot, as did Karachaliou switching to Portugal in the women's laser radial.

 

I still think we'll qualify in the men's laser, men's kite, men's iQFoil and possibly one of the two-person boats or women's iQFoil...

:HUN Érdi is still leading the women's dinghy which kinda proves that she should be a medal contender for Paris. I still can't believe how much the Hungarian federation fucked her when they just kind forgot to pay the fee for her Paris Test Event appearance. She missed one of the most important events for her Olympic prep, and if that hurt her chances in any way I will be furious. We rarely get any chances in sailing and the federation is so amateur that they even manage to mess up these rare occasions.

Could someone please explain the competition format in Kite? What happens after 20 races? How many do advance to Semifinal and how many to final? 
 

thanks 

if they use the same format of the world cup races:

 

the top 2 of the ranking advance directly to the finals, while the remaining 8 surfers are divided into 2 4-man heats "semifinal round" according to the serpentine system (3rd/6th/7th and 10th in one heat, 4th/5th/8th and 9th in the other heat)

 

the best ranked surfer in each heat starts with 2 "ghost wins", the 2nd best with 1 and the other 2 surfers with 0

the first to 3 wins in each semifinal group advances to the final round, which has the same format (the no.1 of the qualification races starts with 2 "ghost wins", the 2nd with 1 and the 2 surfers coming from the semis with 0. once again, the first to 3 wins gets the gold medal, then silver and bronze are awarded to the surfers with more wins in the final round and, if tied, the actual result of the last race counts for the final positions)

    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
    • As @NearPupsays, figure skating. They are Uzbeks only by flag, in reality they are two Russian skaters who have changed their nationality
