QUALIFICATION UPDATE

 

 

Mark English did it!! He is on the plane to Tokyo after running 1:44.71 mins over 800m in Spain this evening! Phew! He gets the A standard just in the nick of time :d. But not only that, he broke the long-standing Irish record for the men's 800m which has stood since 1995. Congrats Mark :bowdown:

 

That means we now have secured 102 athlete quotas (55 men and 47 women) with representatives in 58 events, across 20 different sports.

QUALIFICATION UPDATE

 

 

It's been a busy day of updates in terms of Olympic qualification with World Athletics revealing the list of athletes qualified to the Olympics by ranking, the IGF releasing the list of qualified women for the Olympic golf tournament and with the announcement of the Irish men's road cycling team.

 

Starting with road cycling, Nicolas Roche, Dan Martin and Eddie Dunbar have been selected to represent the country in the men's road race with Roche going also in the men's individual time-trial. It will be Roche's 4th Olympic Games!

 

However, in terms of new quotas, Ireland has earned 11 more quotas in athletics after the world rankings list was finalised overnight.

Although this does not yet mean that Athletics Ireland or the Olympic Federation of Ireland will nominate all of those athletes, for the purposes of this tracker I am counting them as earned quotas at this moment in time. I will only count 10 additional quotas since Phil Healy will almost certainly take part in the mixed relay event. This brings the number of athletics qualifiers to 25 and puts athletics at the top of the table in terms of Irish qualifiers by sport for the Olympic Games.

 

The IGF also revealed the list of women qualified to the Olympics after the qualifying period came to an end. Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow (26th and 38th respectively in the Olympic qualifying list) have both earned a quota place and both look set to represent Ireland at the Games for a second time!

 

 

That means we now have secured 114 athlete quotas (59 men and 55 women) with representatives in 65 events, across 20 different sports.

Mixed 4x400m Relay 074004qzeiewtibzm4nmtt.png TBD 2021 World Athletics Relays, 7th Place

* Ireland is awarded 4 quotas for the Mixed 4x400m Relay. It is almost certain that the relay squad will contain Phil Healy who is already qualified in the Women's 200m and 400m. Therefore, for the purposes of being as accurate as possible, I am only counting 3 new additional quotas to fill the relay squad.

Athletics Ireland have nominated Leon Reid too.  That needs to be confirmed too

 

Then we're just waiting on relay teams, the rugby team and the shooter to be named

 

Oh and any last minute miracle reallocations

I presume the  Medley Relay appeal has gone nowhere?

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
