Well, this is weird. FEI changed the qualification system (again), and looks like there will be two Group C jumping qualifiers with nations choosing at which one they will participate (Budapest or Moscow). :yikes: That is just about the stupidest qualification path ever. One venue may end up with 10 teams and the other may get 2 or something! :facepalm:

 

And I'm afraid that is exactly what's going to happen if nations choose to go to a more practical location. Budapest may end up getting stacked with Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia... While in Moscow it may quite possibly be Russia vs Belarus (vs Kyrgyzstan?)...

Canada will not compete in team jumping during Tokyo Games.   https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1102939/canada-nicole-walker-cas-result    Argentina takes team quota instead.

There may be some mind games. Looking at the rankings, Israel and Poland are the top two Group C nations so I'd imagine if the possibility was there someone like the Czech Republic could take their chances and compete in Russia. Or maybe those two nations come to an agreement and one of them (Poland?) goes to Russia.

I don't think we will choose Russia. Though it is our national way of thinking to look for an easier way, in sports we have usually less money than needed, which might be crucial.

I wonder if Estonia will put together a team for Moscow. If Russia turns out to be the main opposition, then anything can happen as Estonia has some decent individuals (better than Russia I'd say).

 

Taking a sneak peek at various Moscow results from 2018, it looks like only Russia, Belarus and Estonia participated at those events...

Whatever happened to Ukraine? They "found" a good team for the last Olympics.

Yes, their mercenary team dated back to pre-2008, but just around Rio 2016 they disbanded quite dramatically...

 

Basically all foreigners more or less left after that. Rivetti switched back to Brazil. Tebbel is gone too. Others are no longer at the top level. I doubt they'll even attempt to send a team to these events.

Not a very promising start for Colombian and Guatemalan Olympic qualification hopes... Although, I'm pretty sure they mainly attempted to reach minimum requirements for the Pan Ams (what they succeeded ).

Surprise, surprise, Barcelona will once again host the Nations Cup Final. :d

 

Spain will therefore be prequalified as hosts. But I wouldn't get my hopes too high up. Spain has a history of flopping miserably at Barcelona finals. :wacko:

      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.

      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.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      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)
