According to the guideline of World Sailing, the definition of Developing Nations is not the same of that of Emerging Nations. 

Developing Nations is the country that did not qualify with World Championship in the two last Olympics in that class but Emerging Nations are country that are still struggling for qualifying one boat in the Olympics

But I do agree World Sailing should give a better guideline. It is confusing

Poor oppresed italians and their almos 400 athletes in the Olympics :(

Don't worry, Spain will have more than us this year:) I mean that I was happy twice and I was cheated twice after some time. Just enough. They could have written yesterday that Hong Kong had already secured promotion, so I wouldn't have expected it.

I don't understand why Hong Kong should get some special status when he has 2 other qualifications in different classes? There were Asian qualifications and China advanced there. I don't understand why Europe should be discriminated again and again? Nobody can`t Hong Kong from winning against China in Asia. For me, the Olympics are getting more and more ridiculous. Only money and deals count.

The reason why Italy is not treated as developing nations are because they qualify for 2016 Rio Olympics through the result of 2014 World Championship in the class of 49er.
Hong Kong is listed as developing nations in 49er class but not in windsurfing class since they got the ticket of 2020 Olympics through the result of 2019 World Championship as well.

Once again, it is a weird guideline but I think it is not about discrimination

My understanding is that if Africa didn`t use its quota, so it`s place should go to the last qualifying regatta. I didn't expect this promotion after the previous days but that makes it even worse for me. I would rather take last place today if Hong Hong won, then I would know that we were simply weaker.

Reallocation goes to Developing Nations, not?

SO, AS A SUMMARY:

 

 

Mens IQFOIL: :USA:GRE:LTU:HKG + ENP :SVK + Reallocation DNP :FIN 

Men's Kite: :GBR:POL:USA:GRE:ISR 

Men's ILCA7: :KOR:MAS:EST + ENP :ESA

Men's 49er: :GER:BEL:BRA + Reallocation DNP :HKG

Womens IQFOIL: :CZE:SWE:AIN:TUR:SLO + ENP :EST + Reallocation DNP :AUT:SUI

Women's Kite: :SUI:POL:TUR:AUT:POR 

Women's ILCA6: :ROU:CYP:SLO + ENP :IND

Women's 49er: :POL:GER:FIN  + Reallocation DNP :JPN:CZE 

Mixed 470: :ITA:SLO:GRE:TUR 

Mixed Nacra 17 : :DEN:TUR:BEL + Reallocation DNP :JPN 

 

 

In my opinion, Developing Nations Programe is useless. Excluding Hong Kong, it just gave quotas to big countries. If it wasnt there, Peru or Singapore would qualify boats. An those are countries, in my opinion, much more worthy of a Developing Nations than Japan or Switzerland.

That would be completely incomprehensible.

It is correct that no German 49er made the internal criteria, but why should they participate in a last chance regatta with only relevance Olympic quota with three (!!!) boats and finish on places 1,4 and 5 and then decline the quota. :facepalm:

I still don't get how Austria and Switzerland can be a Developing Nation but Perú can't. That doesn't make any sense to me.

The developing nation is specific to countries that did not participated in that class in the last two editions. I agree with you that is a bit odd - at least in name. This is the full list

I like the idea, but perhaps should be give to countries without representation AT ALL?

Why would they not accept the quota if they sent as many as 3 German crews to the Olympic qualifications regatta? That would be idiocy on their part. Can you give a link to this information?

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
