Diving at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

Has Gary Hunt made the switch to high diving from cliff diving? Or is it only for the Olympics. 

Technically he started as a platform diver way back in the day (he got bronze at the 2006 Commonwealths in the 10m synchro). But he's been competing at the 10m synchro (as well as still doing the cliff diving) for France since making the nationality change a couple of years back. 

 

They've not had a 10m synchro team at either the Worlds or Olympics in the last 15 years anyway, so he's probably not taking anyone else's spot.

Oh I know he’s done platform diving in the past, just thought he was focusing on cliff diving at the moment :d

Wrong term.

It's not better gives this place for normal divers and decline?

It's the best team France can put together, so from their point of view why not take the free quotas?

 

Either way, I know they won't be competitive at all but it's still cool to see Gary Hunt make his Olympic debut given how great of a high diving career he's had.

For me in strict events with max 8 quotas the TOP 8 world teams should go even without continental representantion.

If you have like more than 8 host,  and continental quotas could be introduced.

Somebody have "fun" for debute, somebody has "sad" for being 8th in the World and not making OG because some limits.

That's a World Aquatic consideration, not a consideration for the French NOC.

 

Maybe there shouldn't be host nation spots in synchro, but those are the only host spots available in diving so.

Perhaps we have a confusion of terms here? Platform diving is 10m indoors. High Diving is 27m outdoors. Cliff diving is just whatever is available. Three different things.

 

Hunt is primarily a high diver. He also cliff dives, and historically - and now - he platform dives.

Yep you’re right :facepalm:

 

Platform was the correct term.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
