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.

Having said all that, it's a bit of a nightmare to follow...

You find things like that on the scorelines :facepalm:

 

There is one Kenyan journalist and one from Zimbabwe that may help us with that specially when time comes to decide things.

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.

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
