If an NOC has more than 2 athletes of the same gender among the winners of the 8 groups in Stage 1 (including the 2015 European Games Qualifier), the qualifiers for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will be in the following order:

1) The already confirmed 2015 European Games Qualifier (if any)

2) The highest ranked player/s at the time of the draw of the Qualification Event among the winners of the 8 groups in Stage 1, up to a maximum of 2 (including the 2015 European Games Qualifier)

 

Note: The third player of that NOC will be the first reserve for that NOC if either of the 2 qualifiers are not confirmed by their NOC, or are unable to participate (cancellation) before the deadline for replacements.

 

Winning places from Group A to C in the women's singles were awarded to Germany. Because a maximum of two table tennis players is allowed in the competition, who among the 2015 European Games players will get the unused berth freed by the Germans?

Germany won two medals in London, and our women have become better since then. Okay, 2/3 of the reasons why our women have become better are from China. But still, they do have a good chance in the team event. As do our men and Ovtcharov in the single event.

I forgot, China won't win 2 medals in the women's team event of course :d 

 

Well clearly if there is a non-Asian country that could win 1 or even 2 medals, it's Germany.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
