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?

    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
    • Hezbollah didn't kill any civilian while Satanyahu already killed 2000 Lebanese , so who is terrorist ya head of eggs ?    everything is reversed by western  Media , they make you beleive the opposit cause you are stupid 
    • Portugal   (WC title holder and European champions) lost 1-2 with   (4th in 2021; lost SF at penalties with Portugal)
    • You mean the rally when Rylov and Bolshunov were there, for example?
    • I don't think it's about the Crimea issue. It goes back to 2014, and then Russia started normally. At that time, the problem was organized doping. Another 3-4 years of a total ban for Russia and the sport there will completely collapse. Most of the current stars will either end their careers or go to other countries to compete (for now this think isn`t on a mass scale but I think that soon there will be a movement. For now, there is still waiting). 
    • The Italian finally got up and finished the race. Today, the first junior gold for Italy since Ulissi in 2006-2007. Mark Lorenzo Finn won. In recent years, we have had gold medals in the men's U23 category: Battistella in 2019 and Baroncini in 2021. So far, however, these competitors havn`t met expectations. In my opinion, if we don`t have at least 1 Italian group at the WT level, it will be difficult to reach the results beginning of the 21st century. In 2005, when the Pro Tour (now World Tour) was created, Italy had 4 groups in this series: Lampre, Liquigas, Domina Vacanze and Fassa Bortolo. And yet we had very strong groups before: Mapei, Saeco, Mercatone Uno etc. Now we don`t have one  
    • Guess I misinterpreted it, thanks
