Italy on 99% without any women in shooting (apart from shotgun, of course). In the previous 2 editions we had only 1 girl each: in Tokyo - Sofia Ceccarello won QO at the last possible competition: European Championships in May 2021. Now, unfortunately, we didn't repeat it out and it wasn't even close. The problem seems to be very serious and deep. Overall now we have 11 qualifications + Rossetti from the ranking in men's skeet and I hope that Spinella/Mazzetti will advance tomorrow or the first will move from the ranking in June. It turns out that we will send 13 people to Paris (1 person less than in Tokyo).

In the previous 2 editions we had only 1 girl each: in Tokyo - Sofia Ceccarello won QO at the last possible competition: European Championships in May 2021. Now, unfortunately, we didn't work out and it wasn't even close. The problem seems to be very serious and deep. Overall we now have 11 qualifications + Rossetti from the ranking in men's skating and I hope that Spinella/Mazzetti will advance tomorrow or the former will move from the ranking. It turns out that we will send 13 people to Paris (1 person less than in Tokyo).

given that in Tokyo the only competitive shooter (rifle and pistol) was Ceccarello (who committed a sport suicide in the last 10 shots of the 10m air rifle qualification and that was the end of a brilliant career that just started), I'm OK with Sollazzo and Monna having a chance to come home with a medal (more Sollazzo than Monna, tbh)

 

and who cares of the other tourists?

 

in shotgun shooting we have to make up for the Tokyo disaster (that was even bitter because it came after Rio's triumph), but I have a bad feeling right now

 

I think only Bacosi is 100% reliable at the moment...hope we don't end up like in Tokyo, it would be unacceptable

It's a shame not to be able to qualify with 2-3 girls in shooting when you have so many opportunities and a 2-year qualifying period. It seems that these girls are not making any progress and Ceccarello is actually regressing.

:GRE and :FRA both already earned the quotas in 10m Pistol. 

They haven't officially qualified for the 25m though, they're given the option to enter through qualifying for the 10m. Also the quota is for the NOC not the athlete, so as neither NOC or athletes have qualified for the 25m via the requisite qualifying routes then they are able to gain a quota here.

That is true. But also the rules say that one athlete cannot earn 2 quotas despite it is in a different discipline. Because Korakari and Jedrzejewski won the quota on 10m Pistol, the same athlete cannot win the quota in another event, especially when these 2 events are related, so when you earn quota in one of them, you can participate in both events at the Games....

it doesn't matter

nobody can earn an OQP twice

once you got it, you can enter as many events as you want (actually, you're selected for), provided you have the MQS

 

so, @Jan Linha is right

 

today's quota places go to :AIN (BLR) and :SWE

So that means that Rampula is ineligible for a quota due to :CZEhaving 2 athletes qualified in both 10m and 25m?

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
