Summer Olympic Games 2016 Unqualified NOCs

Recommended Posts

Sadly Turkmenistan are the only non-qualified nation to reach the Asia/Oceania Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament Quarterfinals. They have 5 athletes in the quarterfinals so things are looking good for Turkmenistan to finally qualify an athlete to Rio 2016.

 

Sadly Bhutan have not entered their boxer who qualified for the World Championships (Tashi Norbu), he might have had a slim chance to qualify but it now seems like Bhutan will have to rely on a wild card invitation to compete at Rio 2016.

At the 2016 Olympic Wrestling African & Oceania Qualification Tournament :PLW Palau have a chance to qualify through Florian Temengil in the Men's 125kg Freestyle and 130kg Greco-Roman. There is also a strong chance for :GBS through Midana. Hopefully there can be a couple of suprises and a reduced dominance of North Africa in the Olympic Qualification tournament. In the Women's -69kg there are currently only 5 entrants, one of those is from :CHA Chad, so with a bit of luck she has an outside chance to win a quota if the entry list does not grow.

Of course, do you think he will have a better chance there than he did here though?

 

He and other boxers from Turkmenistan will have a good chance, Asia is pretty depleted now as is the other continents. It'll likely come down to what the bracket looks like.

 

Hopefully Pakistan will solve its issues and will send athletes to the final tournament as well, though qualification is unlikely (did Muhammad Waseem go pro?).

Tomorrow Sierra Leone has a bye into the Women's -75kg Freestyle Wrestling Semi-Final. She will face the winner of Algeria vs Egypt. That gives her a chance to qualify!!

 

I've added her. It'll be quite the upset if she wins though, but crazier things have happened in a single match.

The girl from Chad in the Women's -69 Free Wrestling has beaten the African Championship Bronze medallist from Tunisia and will now face Egyptian Ahmed in the semi-final (who has not competed since February 2014. A great chance for Chad to cause an upset and qualify for Rio.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
