OlympicIRL 4,826 Posted June 29, 2021 Author #123 Share Posted June 29, 2021 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 . But not only that, he broke the long-standing Irish record for the men's 800m which has stood since 1995. Congrats Mark That means we now have secured 102 athlete quotas (55 men and 47 women) with representatives in 58 events, across 20 different sports.

OlympicIRL 4,826 Posted June 30, 2021 Author #124 Share Posted June 30, 2021 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.

Therefore, for the purposes of being as accurate as possible, I am only counting 3 new additional quotas to fill the relay squad.

dodge 745 Posted July 1, 2021 #129 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Haven’t a clue. Neither relay team mentioned in the swim Ireland press release They haven’t mentioned the divers yet either Presumably they’re reticent to announce anything now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
