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...
