So, if I understand well, only those athletes are realistically vying for an Olympic quota. I was surprised at the lack of South African men here but given their issues in the past, probably they are not connected to the federation. The only one is out of the rankings if I'm not mistaken

 

They have to be in the top400 to effectively qualify.  I think those that are bubbling under may get the help to participate in tournaments and financial aid as well to travel and gain enough points. 

 

Currently Lock, for instance, is under that on the "Race to Paris", for instance. He is the boyfriend of Laura Pigossi, who won the PanAm Games and qualified as well.  Sherif is #135 on the Race to Paris, so she may need effectively a win here.

Yeah, following the results using the results system has been a nightmare :facepalm:

 

The federation websites have been a bit better in my opinion.

The 4 main seeds at the men's draw are alive. they are the only ones that could realistically use the Olympic quota.

 

:TUNAziz Dougaz needed a 10-8 MTB win to pass :BUR in the first round and will face :MARElliot Benchetri in a QF

:TUNMoez Echargui play against :CIVEliakim Coulibaly

:ZIMBenjamin Lock lost at the R32 according to the official website but he also won (?) so he will face :EGYMichel Bassem in the QF (seriously, what's so difficult on posting a pdf draw in the website?)

:EGYMohamed Safwat #368 will face :BDIIradukunda Guy Orly

 

On the women's side

 

WOMEN'S

:EGYMayar Sherif is the big favorite and is on the QF.

The only other African woman on the top400, :BDISada Nahimana started well, winning 6-0 6-0 but then lost to a south african player. I wonder if the Universality quota will go to her or again to :LIE

The tripartite quota on the women's side is quite competitive. Currently in the top 400 we have:

 

:MKD Lina Gjorcheska (239)

:MNE Danka Kovinic (241)

:LIE Kathinka von Deichmann (277)

:MLT Francesca Curmi (311)

:BDI Sada Nahimana (336)

:AND Victoria Jimenez (364)

 

While I would love Burundi to get the quota and help boost tennis in Africa, Liechtenstein might force the tripartite committee's hand. They aren't eligible to send a swimmer and they don't compete in athletics (when was the last time they competed at a World Championships?) so without a tripartite quota they won't compete at the Olympics.

 

Outside of tennis their most likely tripartite quota would be in mountain biking. Also Liechtenstein has a higher ranking than Burundi so that may also play into their hand.

Apparently, the 4 main seeds got to the men semifinals.

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
