dodge 705 Posted May 20, 2021 #101 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hmm. The federation was of the same opinion as Brazil it seems As they announced that Oliver Dingley and Tanya Watson had qualified for the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted May 20, 2021 #102 Share Posted May 20, 2021 This would set a wonderful precedent. If you don't like the outcome, just change the rules after the fact, and voila. EDIT: Ah, I see this was merely a case of a federation being hasty. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now we only have two qualified athletes instead of four, but the Brazilian Olympic Committee will appeal. What a mess There is a link (in portuguese) about this controversy: https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/colunas/olhar-olimpico/2021/05/19/canetada-tira-vaga-de-brasileiros-que-estavam-classificados-para-toquio.htm?utm_source=chrome&utm_medium=webalert&utm_campaign=blog-olhar-olimpico There is a very strong ground for appeal because although it says "up to 18 athletes", the qualification document says clearly: The 18 highest placed athletes at the FINA Diving World Cup 2021 will each obtain one(1) quota place for their NOC with a maximum of two (2) athletes per NOC. Very hard for them to then be able to deny an athlete who finished in top 18 from taking their place, no matter what rules they have about a quota limit because as far as I see there is nowhere in that document saying how that limit will be achieved (as in who do they take the quotas from).

Yes I know, but it doesn't say how they will come up with that final total of 136. The "up to 18 athetes" part is probably what they meant but don't know how they will be able to wriggle out of it when it says clearly "The 18 highest placed athletes at the FINA Diving World Cup 2021 will each obtain one(1) quota place for their NOC". So that definitely gives any athletes who finished in top 18 at World Cup every right to request their place at the Olympics as the document says they will be awarded a quota. At the very least any appeal would have a good chance. Edit: I see there is a hierarchy of qualification events so yeah they can use that to say that where they cutting the quotas. Still worth an appeal based on the wording though. And that is my quota of interpreting Olympic qualification documents for the foreseeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
