All of the players/pairs are equally eligible based on Australia’s nomination criteria (all have less than 36000 points). The following criteria will be used to make their decision.

 

- Results  and  performances  at  BWF  international  sanctioned  tournaments (Within the last 12 month)

- Head to head wins at BWF international sanctioned tournaments that indicate that a top 8 placement at the 2016 Olympics is realistic. Matches won against top 30 BWF World Ranked opponents will be considered. (Within the last 12 month)

- Results  and  performances  at  the  2016  Individual  Australian  National Championship to be held from 29 Feb – 2 March 2016 at the Melbourne Sport and Aquatic Centre.

 

Without looking at results I want to say that the pairs will have an advantage while the men’s singles will be the least likely.

 

Thanks :)

 

Both doubles looks indeed like the logical choice.

Just to clarify, it should be Thailand in Men's Pairs and Russia in Mixed Pairs the NOC's that shall benefit from the rejection on continental places for Australia.

 

In the case the Thai pair advance, one of their athletes is already qualified, so that would add one more spot in men's singles.

 

Also, I don't know if USA place in women's doubles should be counted as continental as they actually secured their spot without taking  a place from other elegible pair... let's see what BWF has to say in two weeks...

Why is Koukal on the MS list here while he is not on the list on BWF website?

Oops forgot to note them.. If Phillip Chew is selected in two events, so Petr Koukal will get a quota. Otherwise he's not qualified.

Yes you're right.. Goodness I'm so careless :p

According to Hungarian media, Laura Sarosi (HUN) has qualified. There was talk about her receiving a special wild card for helping Karin Schnaase (GER) continue the match against herself and in doing so, throwing away her last Olympic chance, but if Google Translate is right, she has now gotten a ticket via world rankings.

 

How is that possible?

She also announced the news herself:

If two tripartite spots are returned then she would get one (along with Estonia) if my counting is correct.

So with her and the NOC being completely sure apparently, we can be certain that a tripartite spot has been returned (or two then)?

 

People were fighting for her to get a wildcard based on her actions in the match against Schnaase (Schnaase's shoes broke, she had no pair of shoes available and the only option would be to retire, until Sarosi gave her her own spair shoes so she could continue the match, resulting in Sarosi losing the match and her chance to qualify). There was some talk about her having received a wildcard because of that, but it's hard to think they'd take away someone else's wildcard.

She wouldn't be eligible for a wild card since Hungary qualifies many athletes. There isn't too much competition for the wild cards anyway. Only Sri Lanka, Zambia, Ghana and Jordan have athletes in the top 300 with only Sri Lanka in the top 200 (and they have a good chance at getting a men's spot too). It is quite believable that at least two spots weren't allocated to tripartite nations. In 2012 none of the female tripartite quotas were given out.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
