:ITA Gregorio Paltrinieri will not take part in the men's 10km race :yikes::cry:

 

he will be replaced by Dario Verani, world silver medallist and European champion over 25km (but a good specialist also in the 10km)

 

Paltrinieri will swim only the mixed relay in OWS (and the 1500m in the pool)

With the olympic standar in 1500 he can swim the 10km race in the Olympics too

 

 

:ESP Carlos Garach doesnt compete either, since he already has the 1500 standar and can double in Paris. This gives the second in line spaniard the chance to qualify to the games too.

the French federation of swimming  announced that France could qualify 2 men and 2 women for these world championships, is this true? THANKS
 
 

Yes, maximum 2 athlethes per gender. the host place will go to the next country at WC. As  Jur said before also athletes with minimum in 800 at 1500m could start (additional places).

Looking at the entry lists, I see that Australia is the only nation from Oceania entered in the men's 10km event so I believe they've already earned a quota. 

 

Same thing is true in the women's event but Australia already qualified through the 2023 edition so that quota will get reallocated.

I haven't paid close attention to open water swimming in regards to the Olympics, but can more than 22 swimmers start in Paris? (ie. can pool swimmers "double up" without occupying one of the 22 quotas?)

Yes, it's possible. Anyone with an Olympic qualifying time in the 800m or 1500m pool events can also enter as long as they don't exceed the maximum of two athletes per NOC.

Finally, a good quota policy in aquatics :yes

    • Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.
    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
    • and another medal. in Road Race this time.   Bronze despite a face crash in the middle of the race, her 5th medal of the year, 4th from 3 different sports World Championships
