Any updates on the German sailors towards the selection for Rio 2016? DOSB had officially decided to reject the Nacra 17 spot, as none of the crews reached the top 10 position at the ISAF World Cup meet in Hyères, France, leaving the boats to six. 

Philipp Buhl (mens laser)

Heil/Plößel (mens 49er)

Jurczok/Lorenz (womens 49er)

Toni Wilhelm (mens RS:X)

Gerz/Szymanski (mens 470)

Bochmann/Steinherr (womens 470)

Maybe: One team in mixed nacra

 

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

ISAF updated its qualification list a few days ago.

 

New Zealand has declined its quota in the men's RS:X (we already knew that) and women's RS:X while Australia declined its quota for the women's RS:X. No replacement has been listed though it should go to the next highest ranked eligible boat from the 2015 World Championship of that boat class.

Women's RS:X quotas should go to Turkey and Sweden then. It's probably likely that Sweden will not accept this reallocation, so Argentina is the next best (meaning that Peru would get it as the next best South American nation).

Tripartite quotas have been announced.

 

Men’s Laser – Angola and Bermuda

Women’s Laser Radial – Cayman Islands and Saint Lucia

 

Interesting choices since both Angola and Bermuda are qualified in other events. Cayman Islands was pretty bad in qualifying though to be fair there weren't a lot of options. Saint Lucia was the only one that seems normal.

 

Also the document states Canada has rejected its women's 470 quota.

I'm surprised there's no Oman. And yet there are Angola and Bermuda even though they already have sailors. I guess nobody else applied. Also surprised that Cayman Islands applied for a wild card, in 2008 and 2012 they only sent athletes who qualified.

 

Women's 470 quota should go to Israel, what means that Finland now get European quota.

    • 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.
