I mean seriously ? That’s how Canada qualified in both men’s and women’s singles, too. Canada even declined their first men’s single quota to send two male athletes (since the winner of that match also qualified in mixed doubles) xD (To be fair, Mo Zhang would have qualified by ranking otherwise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as someone who happens to be both Canadian and American I can’t say I mind too much :P Though arguably no country has it easier than Australia when it comes to Table Tennis qualification.

JoshMartini007 2,532 Posted March 18, 2021 #15 Share Posted March 18, 2021 At least Australia has to earn its spot by defeating New Zealand and other Pacific nations. While technically other nation besides Canada and USA compete in North America they rarely, if ever compete. North and Latin America need to be merged or at the very least better divided.

Still I feel bad for women's team losing to Romania 2-3 so so close last year at team qualifications. Men's team ranked 8th in the world yet lost to a lower ranked Slovenia effortlessly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,210 Posted March 18, 2021 #19 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Table tennis needs to rework their qualification systems. Min. 3 nations contesting each spot would solve everything. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,597 Posted March 18, 2021 #20 Share Posted March 18, 2021 unlike South Asia and East Asia, there is a competition for both quotas in Middle Asia! it seems Alamian brothers are going to meet in the semifinal unless Noshad does something stupid and losses intentionally. but that would be very stupid. after all it's just 1 quota and they had to face at some point. Neda Shahsavari also looked good in the first day, still she has to win SF and the final to qualify. she will lose in the first round at the olympics even if she qualifies but if she does, she will be the first Iranian girl to participate in 3 Olympics. considering the limitations for women here, that will be a huge achievement itself.
