Yes, Chile is the sure rival. The European one will be Norway or (if Norway wins or loses final to Denmark) France. Brazil will be there if the Europeans will be won by someone from Worlds TOP 7 (or such team loses to Denmark in the final) and Egypt wins Africans. If someone outside of Worlds TOP 7 wins the Europeans, this team will be Spain, while Egypt and Brazil take the places for their continents.

Brazil would be out in that case, they were 3rd in pan am games and there is no 2nd quota for american teams in OQT.

Well, that's some kind of place for this continent, isn't it? :P Exactly the opposite way if Egypt wins the African Champs.

and special thanks to whoever made the seeding for the draw, Qatar and KSA only had to beat Hong Kong and India in the group round !!!

 

Kuwait was likely a bottom seed due to their inactivity over the past few years, which allowed Hong Kong and India to be placed in the same group.

I know. that's obvious but still they had to consider everything, HKG and India are much much weaker than other 6 teams.

 

beside that in Asia the seeding is usually based on the latest competition, and in the last Olympic Qualifier, Iran, Bahrain and Korea was 2nd, 3rd and 4th, doesn't make sense to put all 3 of them in the same group. it seems they considered the last Asian Championship for the seeding, this is something new

And so the “Qatari” reign of terror over Asian handball comes to an end.

I mean Qatar and Bahrain essentially have the same flag, same size, same athletes, and similar success; so has it really?

4 goals lead for Bahrain 5 minutes to go, looks done for their handball olympic debut

Well, I’ve got tickets to the first matches in Tokyo, but I’d prefer to see  or the African team.
