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 don't think that's correct. 2022 results get priority over 2023 so if there are continental allocations from 2022 or 2023 they will come first at the expense of the 2023 WC quota winners.  See the last paragraph.

P.S. Yes it is a confusing mess.

So let's play through a scenario: 

 

Let's assume those nations get a quota through OQS in 2024: 

2x USA, GBR, AUS, JPN, FRA 

 

What would that mean of the WCH Quotas: 

 

2022 ARG (if South America is a separate continent) + JPN 

2023 South Africa, GBR, AUS, CRO (realocation of host quota) 

 

or if it is PanAm

2022 JPN, FRA

2023 S. Africa, GBR, AUS, CRO
 

Is this correct?

The whole thing is an absolute clusterf**k but as I understand it, the last paragraph only comes into play when all the continents have a representative. 2022 results will be used to give South America a quota and 2023 will be used to give Africa a quota.

I think South America has a good chance to end up among top 6 in 2024 as well (ARG and VEN).

Tentative quotas for :USA :CHN :GBR in the women's event

 

Hannah Roberts has already qualified last year. I think this time it will be :CHN :GBR :COL ... Which leave :CZE Iveta Miculyčová again as first below the line. 😭

South Africa has historically turned down continental quotas on sports in which their athletes are not world level, so hoping this would be the case...

 

I do like the idea for this qualification process, but I think either the OQS should have come before or they would be last in priority... 

 

But I also struggle to understand if someone can win 2 quotas. I would vote no because it does not make any sense, but...

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
    • Swedish sprint results:   women: 1. Sundling 2. Dahlqvist 3. Hagström 4. Ribom 5. Svahn 6. Lundgren   men: 1. Anger 2. Grate 3. Danielsson 4. McKeever (CAN) 5. Skoglund 6. Grahn
    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!
