What is a rather unlikely Paris 2024 qualification quota / medal for your NOC, you would cherish the most?


Recommended Posts

From the top of my head:

 

:POL

 

Qualification: M basketball, W handball

 

Medal: Norbert Kobielski (Athletics, M High Jump) - any medal, first HJ medal since 1996, Artur Partyka

W K4 500m (Canoe Sprint) - gold, first ever for POL canoeing

#TeamMoura-heywoodu

I would also add a medal for Michał Kwiatkowski in Road Cycling - M Road Race and a qualification for M handball team

#TeamMoura-heywoodu

I think that for quotas it would be men's basketball.

 

For unlikely but not impossible medals, I would be happy with Hugo Calderano's medal in table tennis, Hidalgo or Messias in triathlon or the women's handball team.

Quota; Women's volleyball team. Men's and Women's field hockey

 

Medal: Any Canadian male medal not in athletics. In Rio and Tokyo Canadian men did not win medals outside of athletics.

As for quotas, it’s an easy one, our women’s volleyball team. 
 

As for medalists, it’s quite unlikely, but probably our men’s volleyball team. If we played like we did in the Olympic Qualifiers, we might have a chance at a minor medal. Other ones would be FAA in men’s singles tennis (without 2022 RG I wouldn’t be including him), and Erin Brooks in women’s shortboard surfing (but she’ll need to get her citizenship in time to compete at the 2024 ISA Surf Games)

 

Edit: Another qualification hope is our men’s epee team and our men’s waterpolo team, but again quite unlikely. @rafalgorka

Added men’s epee team to qualification hopes, and removed men’s waterpolo as we’re already eliminated from contention.

Good chance for a male medal in artistic gymnastics, judo, swimming, basketball, tennis and boxing. Maybe even wrestling or archery.

Literally every single quota and/or medal :d

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela

qualification, the men's basketball team

 

medals, I'd cherish all the Italian medals the same (even those I won't waste a second watching, like Rhythmic Gymnastics & co.)

Qualification: women's volleyball team

 

Medals: swimming, Marrit Steenbergen in the 200 medley or 100 free

    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
    • Exactly. It's not just Simon and her theft, there are other issues as well.
    • By the way, I did not follow the action, but there was another accident. "Jeanne Richard damaged her teammate Oceane Michelon's rifle. She was caught red-handed by Justine Braisaz-Bouchet." I do not know, if it was resolved somehow.
    • If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.
    • Let's not act as if this is a thing for this season. If it didn't result in performance drama last season, it shouldn't now.
    • Organization is excellent , except weather 
    • Despite everything, Stalin gave up: Finland, Greece, Austria, Yugoslavia (there were no USSR troops there). I don't think Putin would have given up on these countries, because even Stalin was more rational than he is. The Communist Party even limited Stalin, Brezhnev etc., who had to take its opinion into account, and Putin is like some old tsar who does 100% of what he wants and the all of the country just applauds him.
    • Russia and Soviet Union follow that tactics for many decades, Stalin became a huge WWII winner because of that. NATO can't really afford a war of attrition or any open war against above par army right now. And Putin knows that. At least the nonsense about nuclear bombs is over. That threat was never going to materialise since Ukraine isn't that important to be casus belli for WWIII.
