FINALLY :thumbup:

 

BOARD DISCUSSES OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION PROCESS FOR TOKYO 2020

Marrakesh, Morocco, May 4, 2017 – A proposed qualification process for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was discussed by members of the Board of Administration during their two day meeting in Marrakesh.
 
The system of qualification put forward to board members is designed to enhance the universality of participating teams at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in four years’ time. Under the proposed system, world and international tournaments will provide countries with their first opportunities to secure their places at the Olympic Games, with Continental Championships and world rankings providing the remaining spots.
 
The qualification process will be confirmed after approval and ratification by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
 
Volleyball qualification process
 
With host country Japan already guaranteed a place in Tokyo, the World Olympic Qualification tournament will provide three countries with their ticket to the Olympic Games. This tournament will comprise 12 teams including the 2018 World Champions, the tournament host country and the top two teams from each of the five confederations. A further three spots will be up for grabs at the International Olympic Qualification tournament, which will be composed the top 12 teams in FIVB World Ranking. The remaining five places will be filled by the winners of the Continental championships. 
 
FIVB Volleyball World Cup will still feature in the FIVB’s 2019 competition schedule although it will no longer provide a qualification spot for the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Volleyball and beach volleyball at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo

Tokyo sees the Olympic Games return there after they were first hosted in the Japanese capital in 1964. For volleyball there is special significance and emotion, as it was in Tokyo 1964 that the sport was first officially introduced to the Olympic Programme.

The Games of the XXXII Olympiad will begin on Friday, July 24 with the opening ceremony and wrap up on Sunday, August 9 when the Olympic flame will be extinguished and the Olympic flag handed over to the organisers of the 2024 Games. Both the opening and the closing ceremonies will be held at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, which is undergoing an extensive facelift for the event.

The men's and women's volleyball tournaments will be held at the to-be-built Ariake Arena, designed for 12,000 spectators, on area reclaimed from the sea. The Ariake area will also host cycling, gymnastics and tennis at Tokyo 2020.

Hopefully it will be approved. The old system was a joke a not fair towards Europe.

^ It won't make any difference for Europe in women's volleyball. Maybe in men's there will be one more team (but isn't 100% sure either).

 

Of course it isn't sure, but at least you get a fair chance to compete and the best team gets the quota. And there aren't any made up tournaments that forbid european teams from competing..

Amazing performance tonight by Poland against very strong :IRI team.

Beautiful debut for Ferdinando De Giorgi and career end for Ignaczak. Two rather easily won sets to 19, and although Iranians fought hard we also won the third one 25-23. Very good match :)

    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
