Athletics Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

Alexis Copello of Azerbaijan is out of the men's triple jump. Not surprising as he hasn't competed at all during this outdoor season. Neither has the other Azeri, Nazim Babayev. I wonder if he'll withdraw.

 

Tsiamis now moves up to 33rd. I don't wish injury on anyone but it would be really nice if Tsiamis gets in. He certainly would've made it but DNS in the final of the Greek national championships (after jumping in qualifying) and then was going to go to the Balkan Championships but withdrew a few days prior. Both events would've given him easy ranking points to go to Tokyo. Then you have the three miracle men (one from Uzbekistan, one Armenia, and one Georgia) who all qualified in this event despite never jumping anywhere near the standard unless they are in their home countries. World Athletics really needs to do something about this problem.

 

Tsiamis really should be in Tokyo, would be such a shame for him to miss out...

Some Swiss girl is out of heptathlon and ?? Adrianna Sułek is in. She posted about rellocation on her insta. 

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

with all respect to the polish girl but wish the girl from Trinidad and Tobago got that quota instead as she surely would be very competitive for a medal or top 5

This ranking in heptathlon was bizzard. Sulek and girl from Trynidad was so close qualify thanks to standard, girl from Uzbekistan has good ranking thanks to Asian Champs.

If the Trinidad girl was as good as she says she is, then she would have qualified outright.

Indeed. It was a tough standard but 11 got it while she’s talking about being denied a medal by the rules

Yeah, most combined event athletes save themselves for the Olympics anyway, so claiming you are a medal contender by virtue of having 7th best season's result pre-Olympics is only telling half a story.

:CUB triple jumper Diaz Fortun removed from the national team for Tokyo as he refused to participate in some European meetings. I suppose it gives quota to :GRE Tsiamis and :SVK Veszelka moves to the first position below the line...

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.

Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
