I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list

Maybe I am remembering from Tokyo, but distinctly remember team events having a minimum 3 continent rule

Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.

 

 

Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds

For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.

The continental quotas have a max of 1 athlete per NOC. As only Egypt is competitive, it makes sense for them to only get 1 quota.

The rugby sevens qualifiers has a logic hole.

 

In the past, in order to prevent a weak North American team from qualifying, they stipulate that should two North American nations qualifying through the World Series (basically Canada and the United States) then there won't be a direct qualifier. Here because they have the host quota at a lower priority the way it is written is if the United States finishes in the top 4 (and not Canada) then Canada would be unable to qualify through the continental qualifier.

 

Of course, I doubt that is true (and this can be easily fixed by putting the host quota as the highest priority) and Canada will be allowed to qualify as normal.

So USA is getting all the quotas, i wasn't sure about Handball and Men's Hockey, but looks like we are getting them, that will be quite embarrassing

Handball literally gave Australia a host quota back in 2000 so they'll give it to anyone.

 

Field hockey in comparison has been more restrictive. They require the United States to have a world ranking of at least 25, which the women should easily meet and the men are likely to meet.

Those US teams won't be *that* bad. Like, ya they will finish last by a decent margin, but they are still serious national teams that will be well prepared.

Pretty good comparaison as to what to expect in handball, ya. And just like the UK, the US is finding all sorts of dual nationals who play professionally in Europe, like :HUN Pál Merkovszky, :SWE Jonas Strömberg, :ESP Alexander Chan Blanco, :HUN Benjamin Edwards, :ARG Sean Corning, :GER Paul Skorupa, :HUN Dániel Hunyadi, :FRA Aboubakar Foufana, :GER Ian Hueter, :DEN Lukas Larlskov Hansen, :SWE Douglas Otterström, :POR Rodrigo Campos, :GER Patrick Hueter, :GER Samuel Hoddersen and :CRO Domagoj Sršen. The US men's national team is sort of like a :QAT situation but without anyone being naturalized (everyone above is a US citizen either by parentage or due to having been born in the US).

 

The women's team seems more homegrown, but it's definitively weaker too.

    • 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)
