7 out of 8 teams in the quarterfinal are from Europe + Denmark isnt even here + Spain only lost against USA thanks to a late penalty, but somehow someone still thought that Europe only deserves 3 spots at the olympics ... complete insanity!

Europe should have at least 6 spots:

- Host (Japan)

- Oceania (Australia)

- 3 Americas (USA, Brazil, Canada)

- Asia (China)

- 6 Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, England, Italy/Norway/Denmark/Spain)

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Don't forget that France is hosting this thing. I'm sure that EVERYTHING will be in their favor, if need be.

Yeah ... that is why the draw was rigged ... someone thought that USA would be the easiest possible opponent for France in the quarterfinal ...

France vs USA should be Bibiana Steinhaus as ref since it's the non-German QF half as well. Anything else would be totally suspicious.

I dont think you can doubt every referee simply based on nationality, but if you argue like that, then even Steinhaus could be "suspicious":

If USA wins, then olympic qualification will be easier for Germany ...

This is exactly why I think this match shouldn't have a referee from a european country that's still in the Competition.

That someone is IOC and they always promote continental diversity over strenght of the event. That's why table tennis has only two athlete per nation quota for instance, otherwise China would have send like 5 men (who are all ranked in Top 7 of the world rankings) and then it would be a medal sweep one Games after another. Yes, UEFA is the strongest football federation but it doesn't matter. IOC will never allow 8 UEFA teams, 2 CONCACAF & 2 Asian just because it's the strongest potential line-up.

Yeah, the Olympics has always been about trying to achieve a balance between having the top athletes/teams and having a diverse group of competitors. At best you can argue that the African/South America play-off should be reallocated to Europe. The other option is to have one quota for each continent (+ host) and have the other five be decided in a secondary tournament.

Australia isn't part of Oceania in football.

I like this system:

3 Americas (USA, Canada, Brazil/Argentina)

Oceania (New Zealand)

Host (obviously)

3 Asia

3 Europe

1 Last Chance tournament/or best non-qualified team based on world ranking.

 

Im so tired of everything being Euro-centric.

This is by far the fairest solution.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
