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...

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
