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

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

Alright. IWF still didn't publish anything on their website.

 

Surprised that America apparently wasn't given a single wild card.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • 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.
