How many places does Moldova already have in men's weightlifting for Rio 2016?

 

After the disqualification of positive lifters they dropped from 5 to 4 quotas. They lost 2 more quotas based on the decision of IWF so they'll have 2.

So, they have updated the World Championship Rankings ranking with RUS/KAZ/BLR still in it. I am assuming this means that these countries will be participating in Olympics and their ban will start after Olympics. Has IWF clarified anything?

At the bottom of the documents they said it is not finalized due to legal process. This is likely from athletes appealing IWF's decision, but could also mean BLR/KAZ/RUS could be removed.

Thanks for the clarification. Wish IWF was more prompt with finalising the situation. Must be really tough on the lifters.

Apart from these, I can also confirm that Honduras got one of the wild cards (men's -94kg). http://www.diariomas.hn/2016/07/01/christopher-joel-pavon-otro-atleta-mas-que-representara-a-honduras-en-los-olimpicos/

  • 3 weeks later...

Seychelles also got wild card in weightlifting (men's -62kg). And also, Austria apparently got reallocation in weightlifting.

Ok, so :HAI and :MLT got the remaining men's tripartite places. Haiti now has all combat sports + weightlifting.

 

Meanwhile, looks like Iraq refused women's place, which went to Kyrgyzstan. The weird part is that this 2nd women's wild card that Iraq refused!!

 

No idea how Austria got that men's quota.

    • 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.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
