Now that the 10km qualification is done, here are other pool athletes who are eligible to compete in the open water aces at Paris as of today. I can make a full list once the qualification period is over.

 

Men:

:TUR Emir Batur Albayrak

:AUT Felix Auboeck

:NOR Henrik Christiansen

:BRA Guilherme Costa

:EGY Marwan El Kamash

:ESP Carlos Garach

:TUN Ahmed Hafnaoui

:CHN Fei Liwei

:NOR Jon Joentvedt

:SWE Victor Johansson

:KOR Kim Woomin

:VEN Alfonso Mestre

:BUL Petar Mitsin

:VIE Nguyen Huy Hoang

:UKR Mykhailo Romanchuk

:ROU Vlad Stancu

:TUR Kuzey Tuncelli

:IRL Daniel Wiffen

:CHN Zhang Zhanshuo

 

Women: 

:NZL Erika Fairweather

:CHN Gao Weizhong

:HUN Ajna Kesely

:CHN Li Bingjie

:ITA Simona Quadarella

 

Isn't it also possible, that federations with two qualified athletes in Open Water can instead nominate another one from the pool?

 

To use Germany as an example, couldn't Lukas Märtens get nominated instead of Oliver Klemet? By the way, I'm convinced this won't happen, because Klemet is strong in Open Water while Märtens focusses on the pool, but shouldn't it be theoretically possible? And there might be other examples, in which the federation might do exactly that, i.e. Paltrinieri.

So, Poland have quota or not? Or again we we were first to be underline?

Yes, Poland should get the EU quota. Austria and Czech Republic both get the reallocated quotas, so going off the Wikipedia Czech Republic should replace the second American quota.

Do you maybe know when we can expect an official confirmation?

I dunno, I'd probably wait until your federation says summat as they seems to be the ones who are confirming it for their respective countries. You can look at the results on Final if you want, which shows that what the Wikipedia says is wrong.

For my list, I was just referencing athletes from NOCs that don't have two athletes in an open water event. 

 

You are mostly right. Quotas at the 2023 world championships were awarded to the athlete while quotas at these world championships were awarded to the NOC. So Italy would be able to select Paltrinieri but for Germany, Wellbrock and Klemet qualified in 2023 so I believe they have to be selected.

Will be interesting to see how many of the medal winners will also win a medal in Paris. I would say 1 or 2 on the men's side and maybe 1 on the women's side. Pretty much all the big names apparently didn't take this competition very seriously.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • 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.
