In what world can you beat Romania at table tennis?

What do you mean in what world? We're higher ranked than them by six places and we have the twenty fifth best player in the world, this is just like us playing someone like America - we've got a very good chance.

Here are the 9 nations currently in line for the Olympic quotas via World Rankings (some will qualify by reaching the quarterfinals):

 

Men

:GER:JPN:KOR:TPE:POR:SLO:CRO:HKG:NGR

 

Nigeria will drop off after the first round of the knock-out is completed, the next highest ranked nation is :DEN.

 

Women

:JPN:KOR:ROU:HKG:TPE:PUR:THA:AUT:SGP

 

Likewise, Puerto Rico can no longer gain any more points and needs to rely on a few low ranked nations winning their first round match in order to qualify.

Shouldn't it be :GBR instead of :NGR and :DEN

Which ranking are you using because I thought :IND :BEL and :GBR are all ranked higher than :NGR and :POL is ahead of :DEN?

Yeah - last 16 is the best we can hope for unfortunately. Having said that, the draw wouldn't have been much better had we been second in the table - :INDin last 32 and then :KOR

 

 

We could actually do with :KAZ beating :IND as it would mean we've at least matched their result, crucially keeping us ahead of them in the rankings. Missing out on this would be awful for the boys considering we've been in the top 18 for the entirety of the qualification period.

This is after removing points obtained from the 2022 Team World Championships. So teams which made the R16 or further in 2022 have currently lost points while teams with a poor 2022 (like Nigeria and Denmark) have increased in points already.

 

We'll have a clearer picture tomorrow as to who has qualified to the Olympics.

The ranking will change anyway after the world champs so there still might be changes. Additionally, I am surprised that into this ranking is also counted Olympic tournament from Tokyo Games. As it's a new Olympic cycle so it might feel like unfair for the countries that are not world top.

So after the QFs are decided, if there are ( surely would be x number of continental qualifiers who reach QFs ) ..... Then these x number would be added to the ranking quota ( currently 1 ) which then would be decided on the end of March ittf  ranking  ( which would change based on these results as well ) ... Would my understanding be correct ? 

 

 

Or have I misunderstood

So the Rnd 16 teams have been decided. Assuming that group winners are also the quarter-finalists, those who qualify are :JPN:TPE:KOR:HKG:ROU .
This leaves four teams who can qualify by rankings, heres my rankings scenario
1 - :POL 2114 pts
2 - :POR 2024 pts
3 - :IND 1994 pts
4 - :SWE 1980 pts
_____________________
5 - :PUR 1902 pts
6 - :AUT 1858 pts
7 - :THA 1778 pts
8 - :SGP 1762 pts
9 - :SVK 1392 pts
10 - :LUX 1230 pts
