Madagascar is leading the team rankings on day 1 after winning gold and silver. But according to the entry list that's their complete team. :wall:

It's Africa, don't trust the documents and never give up hope someone suddenly magically appears for some lifts :p

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Looks like that's not a trend so far. :p

 

So far we had 0 pop-up lifters that magically appeared, but we had quite a few that didn't, despite being on entry list. Congo and Sierra Leone didn't show up today. Tomorrow will be an important day, if Libya doesn't show up once again then they are certainly out.

That would be against IWF rules.

If you are not on the list you are not allowed to compete, so I don't believe this can happen

Looks like I missed -77kg yesterday. A whole bunch of lifters didn't show up there (6 out of 14 from entry list). :LBA:CAF 2x:COD 2x:SLE

 

Libya seems to be out of it in fact. It's sad for them, but they might get a reallocation/wild card. As DR Congo also didn't show, Ghana only needs to finish to earn a very easy men's quota.

Tomorrow is the final day of African championships...

 

In men's events qualified nations can't change anymore. The five qualifiers are :TUN:CMR:MAR:ALG:GHA

In women's events qualified nations are all pretty safe (unless Morocco makes a HUGE upset tomorrow and overtakes Algeria). :NGR:TUN:CMR:ALG
