Men's Final Result

 

Gold:        Jo Choong - (Quota)

Silver:      Emiliano Hernandez - Qualifies for Paris

Bronze:   Mohanad Shaban - (Quota)

 

 

 

I can see that only a medalist could qualify. So looks like it goes to Hernandez and other 2 quota will allocated according to the world ranking, right?

Yep - same situation we had in the women's event. There will now be 9 quotas allocated to the Olympic Ranking List.

First individual medal for Mexico at World Championships 

 

And curiously, won by the younger brother of 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, Ismael Hernandez.

 

Plus, this gives some margin for a second Mexican man to obtain a second quota at PanAm Games.

Unless Hernandez finish in the podium at the Panam Games ahead of other Mexican athlete, in which case, this quota reverts to World Ranking.

Are the quotas athlete specific?

From my reading of the qualification document, if Hernandez finishes on the podium, his quota would revert to the next unqualified athlete at the Pan-Am Games as opposed to going to the Olympic Ranking List - the reallocation only seems to apply to the European championship.

 

The quotas for Pan-Am slightly more complicated than other continents though:

1)  - Whoever finishes first will win a quota 

2) - 2 quotas will then go to best finishers from South America

3) - 2 quotas will then go to best finishers from NORECA

Yes - the document says the quotas are allocated to the named athletes however NOCs with more than 2 athletes qualified would be able to choose who is in their squad (although not entirely sure how a nation would qualify more than 2 athletes)

There's a few ways, though the most common would be through the world rankings

No clear round 

Such a clear example of the Commentator’s Curse. Every time someone got to Fence 8 with 0 penalties the Commentator mentioned it & whack!  

[El Analyzer 308]

Some general observations:

still showing determined performance and still one of the top teams men and women

great women team but the men team needs huge boosting 

just unlucky this tournament, still favourable for future world and Olympic medals 

the strongest men team so far, epic laser run between three team mates, women team is average 

no longer strong team, they will be in olympics but not that strong anymore 

a big question mark, very bad performance from great names, needs huge improvement and they have 1 year till the Olympics 

seems average team, can’t see them on the Olympic podium 

men team needs more fencing quality, women team is average 

very strong women team but consistency between displines needs improvement, men team is average 

not this Olympic I presume maybe the next one if MP still there  😉

very good team men and women, Mariana put too much effort in the first 800m laser run and she paid it in a hard way, still dangerous team if they keep their fencing performance up 

 one of the strongest men and women teams, but if they are not 1st or 2nd before laser run they will not make the podium

 

what do you reckon?
