Given how unusual it is and that it involves two different federations, it seems like a fair assumption...

I doubt you are right, but my answer is on the national thread, not to spam here

I'm surprised with Brazil qualifying! After the disastrous loss at the semi-final of the 2019 Pan Ams, only a miracle would let the team even reach the qualifying tournament, and only a bigger miracle would make them qualify, but hey! Look at what happened! I almost can't believe it!

And what a bizarre way for Croatia not to qualify. I'm shocked.

What seems wrong to me is Spain being only in pot 5. I'm aware that it's because they qualified as European Champion. But still, otherwise they would have been part of the qualification tournament anyway.

 

Same for Egypt, for that matter. But since both top 5 teams are comparatively strong teams, it sort of evens out, I guess.

with such an even draw, the preliminary round in Tokyo is going to be useless...we already know that Egypt and the European teams will be in the quarterfinals...

 

there's no chance to have an unbalanced draw with a stronger group with 5 teams competing for the 4 quarterfinals spots...

 

not that it's a problem (with so many things to watch at the Olympics, team sports preliminaries are definitely at the very bottom of my list), but still...

Fun fact: The Goal that sealed Portugal Qualification was scored with an arm with a new tattoo honoring Quintana, the goalkeeper of Portugal that died 15 days ago of cardiac arrest.

I would not be so sure about the 7 European teams + Egypt in the QF. Argentina has a very decent team and I wouldn't be so surprised if they managed to win at least one game against Europeans,

Yes, and Brazil also has a very good squad , with some elite club players. It's just they have been poorly managed last 2 years.  

 

As I said BRA & ARG will probably be in the same group and that group will be tough.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
