According to German news agency SID, the FIBA has asked German federation today, if they had "a general interest" to host an Olympic Qualifier. So this means the banned teams might not be allowed to play at the Olympics or the Qualification tournaments either.

It was absurd, FIBA is how the maphia

Ingo Weiss, the president of the German federation, confirmed, that they have gotten a FIBA-Letter asking them about the Qualification tournament. But I cannot believe that FIBA will ban all these countries. They probably exect them to cancel the Champions League now under this additional pressure.

If all those bans turn into Olympic bans then France and Czech Republic will automatically qualify to the Olympics while Latvia, Belgium, Georgia, Finland and Germany will qualify to the qualifying tournament. The next two will depend on the hosts, if European then Estonia and the Netherlands will compete. Dominican Republic will take Turkey's place for being the highest ranked non-qualified nation.

 

It probably won't come to this, but it's funny to think about it.

 For me this is very funny. They don;t understand that basketball in Europe without Spain,France,Lithuania,Serbia,Croatia,Greece,Italy etc will become one joke sport. Basketball is after football most popular sport in Europe and if this happens the situation will be worse than the current

It think FIBA tries to bluff, but no one will believe them. It would be suicide to exclude all those nations from the olympic games. Its insane that they want to punish national team for the behavior of clubs, IOC should finally make a statement to end all this. I am sure that we will qualify for the olympic games in 2020 and it wouldve been nice to play in Rio, but this would be an extremely embarrassing way to qualify.

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

Yes. And I think this is why FIBA is threatening with the Olympic ban. If all these teams can't play at World Championships and Olympic Games, it would hurt them more. But it would also really hurt Basketball as a sport. FIBA can't honestly want that.

As an outsider it seems FIBA's whole point, against that weird Euroleague with a list of pre-qualified teams, is very good, but they are playing it absolutely horrible :facepalm:

 

As said here above: FIBA is probably trying to bluff or something.

    • 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)
