do I Understand correctly that same athlete. can win two quotes for one NOC?

 

For example the Japanese WCH in 2022 and now 4th here could gain two Quota for Japan? 

What happens if he ends up also in the top 6 next year in the Qualifiers series. 

all so confusing. 

 

And yes the only safe quota is South Africa :lol:
 

the qualification document would suggest that this would be the case. 

 

The quotas awarded next year through the OQS will be to the top 6 athletes and are specific to those athletes. The quotas available from the world champs )both this year's and last) are awarded to the NOC. 

 

So if Rimu Nakamura finishes in the top 6 next year, he would get a quota and Japan would be able to name second rider based on their 2022 world champs quota. Likewise, if Reilly finishes in the top 6, GBR will be able to do the same.

Yeah, I am afraid you are right.

Maybe - but maybe not. :d Would say they have provisional quotas - these results have lowest priority for quota and will instead be used to deliver continental representation but we wont know until after the completion of OQS. If I had to guess, would think that the American may lose out. 

 

 

 

 

With only six qualifiers from the qualifying process it will be tough although not impossible for South America to qualify anyone so they are likely to pick up the Australian quota. There are no guarantees on the British quota either but they have the best chance of retaining it.

Any NOC quotas that have to be allocated to ensure representation from every continent will come from placings at the 2022 WC rather than this year's.

I think the problem with that is there was no representative from Africa in the 2022 competition so the reallocation drops down to the next event in the hierarchy which is the 2023 WC.

Lol. It does bring the system into disrepute when you're left scrambling around trying to find a continental representative in a field of just twelve. Both the sport and the IOC need to invest in the sport in Africa to avoid this in future.

Not sure whether there are separate quotas for North and South America or whether they go for Pan-American approach. Have a feeling it may be the former in which case, Jose Torres Gil :ARG would be in line to take USA's 2022 WC quota which is a bit unfortunate for USA given they'll probably lose their 2023 WC quota to South Africa - and a rider who had a highest score of 33.

Why would they lose their 2022 quota?

Because the qualification system is a mess :hairpull:

 

According to the qualification document:

 

"The highest ranked NOC from a continent which has not yet qualified any quota places through the Olympic Qualifier Series will qualify a maximum of one quota place"

 

So if it is separate quotas for South America is required, it would be allocated from 2022 results.

    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
