According to this profile, the nationality of the Bulgarian athlete was challenged, since she is Russian. 

Also, Vasileia Karachaliou was denied change of nationality by the Greek Olympic Committee President, so not sure what this means. Does Greece or Portugal keep her quota?

 

It has been said for the past two years that she would probably not be able to compete at the 2024 Olympics because our Olympic committee needed to "agree" to the switch or something. I'm not familiar with this process but it seems that as long as she doesn't have our approval, she will have to wait until Los Angeles 2028. The president of our Olympic committee said that they are not going to help her compete for another country.

 

Of course there is still time for her to qualify as a Greek athlete and compete at the Olympics if she qualifies in one of the upcoming regattas under our flag, and our Olympic committee has made it clear that they will "support" her if she chooses to do so, but she has made it clear that she would rather skip these Olympics than compete for Greece.

 

FYI she has had issues since 2017 with our sailing federation and after the Tokyo Olympics she said she had enough.

but so what happens to her 2023 quota?

 

It stays in Portugal?

Or if she wants to compete for Greece, can go to Greece?

Or would it go to Finland's Monika Mikkola, 25th at the World?
Or Last chance regatta?

After 5 Gold Fleet Races

 

:FIN 95 Pts (118 Pts) QUALIFIED

:IRL 166 Pts (218 Pts)

:URU 168 Pts (205 Pts) Already qualified via Continental competition

:ESP 198 Pts (250 Pts)

:MEX 204 Pts (245 Pts) Already qualified via Continental competition

:TUR 205 Pts (251 Pts)

:BRA 210 Pts (251 Pts)

--------------------------

:ROU 211 Pts (263 Pts)

:IND 218 Pts (258 Pts)

:ISR 219 Pts (264 Pts)

 

This results means that :CAY and :CHI would get the reallocated quotas by :MEX and :URU.

We still have one last race tomorrow.

 

Only Finland and Uruguay are qualified (due to the discard points). Ireland is safe, I guess... but all the others on the line

Neha :IND really ruined the chance, Hope she gets the best in last race.

Tokyo - 2020

Go India Go

So... Ireland is 48 ahead of 8th place at the moment but I think the medal race splits from the "last race" for the others. Meaning the best points total any of the non-top 10 can finish is 11

 

Meaning :IRL and :URU have qualified with :FIN already in the medal race and through to Paris too

the rule is simple: an athlete can switch her Nationality and compete for a new Country only after 3 full years (up to the exact day) he/she made the last appearance with the "old" Nation, unless there's a mutual agreement between said "old" Country and the "new" one (which isn't the case of Karachaliou, therefore she will be able to represent :POR at the Olympics only after 3 full years from her last regatta representing :GRE. that keeps her out of the 2024 Games)
