How is is possible, are not only 34 players qualified for the singles ?

Additional spots open up due to 1) Japan not needing host quota and 2) athletes qualifying in multiple events. For example, British pair of Ellis/Smith are qualifying in XD. But both Ellis and Smith are also qualifying in MD and WD. Hence, one additional spot is available in both MS and WS.

Why would they decline? Tough qualification standard?

Generally Sweden has the criteria that an athlete should be in contention for top 8. Talents can get an easier selection for their first Games (could be his chance) but at the age of 26 he can hardly be called a big talent.

Interesting. Is this new? They didn't decline in 2016 and had an older athlete

Not really new, no. Had forgotten that Hurskainen actually did participate twice (I believe that 2nd place at the Ech (including beating some top class Danes) helped quite a bit). It doesn't always make sense, but still wouldn't be too surprised.

@Benolympique what does "*" means in your last post? Those players aren't confirmed yet, right?

 

Btw. I have read lately that Jordan Hart started playing for Poland instead her home country :WAL 

Our badminton federation didn't mentioned anything about her, I think that they even aren't aware of this fact :d I wonder, since she changed nationality some weeks ago if she will be allowed to compete in Olympic under new flag, or have try to qualify to Paris 2024.

* means that an athlete won't compete in Tokyo. Jordan has no citizenship yet, she just changed Federation allegiance (PZBad accepted this) as surprisingly Poland has better conditions for badminton training than Wales (according to her).

 

That means there will be three reallocations and as my friend who knows much about badminton calculated, it means that Wiktoria Dąbczyńska will get the quota probably. Nothing can be said for sure until official statements from the International federation tho. 

 

Edit: typo

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

Soraya won't be going since the Dutch NOC has "tough standard"

Airi Mikella and Jelle Maas has retired from professional badminton...

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
