For Feryal she wants to qualify directly to avoid competition with Shaymaa abouelyazid at 1st because the last might qualify from world qualifications ?

 

yes that's a valid reason, but for some reasons I prefer she doesn't qualify directly

 

this qualification format is too complicated, you have to consider so many things , for example I hope Iran qualify 2 girls directly and Alipour wins the Asian quota. but then it's only possible if nobody from Africa uses 61kg quota. there is a girl from Morocco on 11th place position. and I hope Egyptian girls at 55kg and +61kg stay ahead of her in the ranking which means I hope they collect points but not "lots of points" to qualify directly   I still hope Feryal wins the final because that Chinese girl is also a candidate for the Asian spot.

 

and btw as you said even if Feryal stays 5th or 6th, that's still possible if Shaymaa qualifies directly in Paris . so I guess I should count more on your 50kg girl but then you also have Yassmin Attia in this weight and she is also capable of qualifying in Paris.

well   Anzhelika Terliuga did absolutely nothing in women's -55 kg but she managed to win at the end after falling 7 or 8 times or something , looks like they forgot the yes today in competition in VAR

The last one at +68kg was kind of weird, she was sitting on 3 cautions (Hansoku Chui) and made a terrible mistake asked her coach to challenge a decision, and that's illegal and she received her 4th caution and lost by disqualification !!

[MHSN 3,619]

it seems the Olympic dream for Sajjad Ganjzadeh is gone Poursheib won the gold after a great comeback. he was down 1-4 but finished it 7-4, that "Ashi Barai" at the end of the match was wow Zabih is now leading by something like 500pts and I don't see him not collecting enough points in remaining events. the level in 84kg is just not as good as +84kg.

 

Edit: in WKF new ranking they still show Ganjzadeh in green and not Poursheib (despite having more points), I assume that's because Ganjzadeh is #1 in his weight class.

quick review about what happened in 1st day of Austrian K1 event regarding Olympic qualification

 

Women's Kata

I think the qualification is done, we know the name of 4 qualified athletes here, Grace Lau  and Sakura Kokumai joined and

 

Women's 50kg

only 3 athletes are left to grab the last quota and join it will be between Bahmanyar, Plank and Hubrich. despite poor result here Bahmanyar still has a much better chance.

 

Women's 55kg

it's not over yet for Jana Messerschmidt, she is in the final and if she wins the gold she will be closer to Wen (TPE) , Wen herself will fight for bronze. was already qualified before the event.

 

Men's 60kg

we knew is already qualified, it was between Creszezo and Samdan and the Italian beat the Turk in the SF. which means he will have something 1000pts advantage before the last 2 events.

 

Men's 67kg

was already qualified, Figueira had a good chance to seal the deal today but lost to some random guy from Austria. the Egyptian El-Sawy is now in bronze medal match he will close the gap to something like 300/400 before the last event for both of them.

 

Men's 75kg

despite not making to the final. both Luigi Busa  and Rafael Aghayev  are guaranteed an Olympic quota to join . the last quota will be between Horuna and Scott (with slim chance for Eltemur). Horuna made it to the final today to increase his chance massively
