How many points get 1st place karateka in this Premier-League? 1000?

990 to be accurate

the situation got complicated for 84kg/+84kg. Kvesic lost early but that doesn't really matter, he had to wait for Poursheib/Aktas results. Poursheib made it to the final to keep his hopes alive while Aktas lost the semifinal to Araga

 

Aktas was leading by 160pts. Poursheib will take his place in the ranking after the finals. but we still don't know by how much. Aktas still can make up for that at the Euro. after tomorrow we will know how much Aktas needs to surpass Poursheib and helps Kvesic and Ganjzadeh (at +84kg) to qualify

at the end of 68kg preliminaries Gong and Quirici advanced to the final, their final on Sunday will be somehow a direct Olympic qualification match.

 

Gong was leading by 637.5, if she wins the gold tomorrow, Quirici can qualify only and only by winning the gold in Euro.

if Quirici wins the final tomorrow she will cut down the gap to 397.5. in that case even a bronze in Euro will be enough for her. (or even a 5th place finish in case more than 32 athletes participate)

 

and I have to say Quirici won 3 matches here by Hantei (tied match decided by the refs) at least her semifinal against EGY was very dubious where she got the call 3 to 2.

at least our player Feryal can qualify by continental quota after el sawy qualified yesterday

As a Chinese maybe a little subjective to comment Quirici, but I do think she just won by fame and ranking. She went through the draw by 0-0, 0-0, 1-0 and 1-1 then reaching the final !!! So no matter the final result is, Gong Li can't get the ticket here and she has to wait...

despite losing the semifinal, Ganjzadeh secured the first place in the ranking for himself but that's not enough for the quota !! if Poursheib also finishes first at the 84kg ranking he will beat Ganjzadeh by having more points.

Arkania reached the final while Horne will be in the bronze medal match, they will be very close in the ranking after this event, if Poursheib wins 84kg, they are both qualified, otherwise they will fight each other for the quota in the European Champs.

here is the women's +68kg after tonight, Hocaoglu made it to the final. she can adds 240 more to her tally tomorrow. Chatziliadou is in the bronze medal match and can add 120pts more.

 

Berultseva is out of the race, she is not European. Ferracuti will be out too if Hocaogly wins the gold tomorrow.

 

after all Hocaoglu is in the pole position and only Chatziliadou has a realistic chance to challenge her for the quota.

 

Sofya Berultseva - 5677.5

Meltem Hocaoglu - 5857.5+240

Clio Ferracuti - 5017.5

Eleni Chatziliadou - 5355+120

Ferracuti is out in any case...we want Semeraro to qualify (I don't know why she didn't compete today, she was in Lisbon...I hope she didn't injured herself in the hours just before today's event)...

update about 55kg situation:

Jana Messerschmidt wins the bronze, by my calculation she is 862.5pts behind Wen Tzu-Yun, she can qualify if she wins the gold medal in Europe.
