Table Tennis Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

This just made the European qualifiers that much more interesting. However, assuming the top seeds win most of the qualifiers would have qualified to the Olympics regardless. It mostly guarantees borderline Asian players a spot and will likely only cost Europe a small handful of spots

Because of this Serbia will be without Olympics in this sport. :facepalm:

Taking a closer look I can see the two lower ranked athletes from Hong Kong will compete. Is Hong Kong just going to reject them once their top athletes qualify?

Interesting point, didn't notice that, yes probably.

They probably just wanted to have someone in competition for their crowd in last 3 days, otherwise it could be boring for Hong Kong TT fans.

Easy to make comments when Canada is literally guaranteed two table tennis quotas for every single Olympics (like host nation). :p

 

This is a joke really. When athletes/nations are not bothering to enter OQTs because they are guaranteed a qualification at the final chance rankings than that's a clear sign that qualification system is absolutely unfair and horrible. ITTF actually managed do an even bigger bullshit than replacing doubles with team competition at the Olympics (team competition is in my opinion complete waste of quotas).

 

Well, at least Lebanon qualified a woman today. That's like the only good thing that happened today. :d

So after doing some number crunching, assuming Hong Kong gives up its quotas at the Asian Champs and all teams use only 1 additional quota to make their team(very likely) and there are no major upsets the current final athletes in the rankings are Serbia's Aleksandar Karakasevic (85th) and Hungary's Petra Lovas (99th). Of course the rankings will likely change between now and the deadline.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • 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 ,
