They won't get a place in the olympic qualifiers, that's 100% sure. However, I don't know if the 3rd place of the event in which they compete gets the place instead or if it will be simply assigned by world ranking among the eliminated teams of all tournaments.

I think it's the same case as if Japan would get the place so the quota goes to ranking.

 

yes, if not eligible teams get 1st or 2nd in their tournament, the spot is reallocated through the world ranking...

directly from FIH website: " **if Japan, Scotland or Wales finish in the top 2 of their respective pools, they will not secure a place in the Olympic qualifiers. Japan have already qualified as both host and winners of the Asian Games; for Scotland and Wales, the reason is that England are the nominated country for Great Britain’s qualification pathway. If any of these three teams do finish in the top 2, the team that finishes third does NOT automatically qualify for the Olympic qualifiers. Any such additional place is determined by the FIH World Rankings as at the completion of the continental championships (8 September 2019)"

^Thank you. 

 

Italy and Austria qualifying would potentially kick China out of the olympic play-offs, maybe France or Korea if they fail at their own tournament, maybe South Africa if they fail too and also give up continental quota... those are the only ones at risk.

 

Canada and Malaysia have nothing to worry and because of that I think one or both will lose the semifinal.

  • 1 month later...

:NED:ARG :AUS have assured themselves of top 4 finish in Womens Pro League. Hence they have also confirmed a spot in Olympic qualifiers.

 

:AUS :BEL have assured themselves of top 4 finish in Mens Pro League.

Hence they have also confirmed a spot in Olympic qualifiers

After the completion of FIH Pro League and FIH Series Finals, following teams are qualified for Olympic games qualifiers:

 

From Pro League: :AUS, :BEL, :GBR, :NED

From Series Finals: :CAN, :MAS, :IND, :RSA, :FRA, :IRL

 

Remaining 4 spots would go to rankings. If any of the above mentioned teams win Olympic quota by winning their continental qualifier, there place will also be taken by next teams in ranking. 

 

At present top 4 not already qualified in Ranking are: :ARG, :GER, :NZL, :ESP

 

With Argentina, Australia almost sure to win their continental tournaments, and European winner also most likely coming from the above mentioned teams, an additional 3 spots should be open for teams on basis of rankings. Next 3 in line are : :PAK, :CHN and :KOR 

 

Next two in line are :AUT and :EGY. But they are quite behind :KOR in points and it would be tough for them to overtake them in the next ranking update. 

 

P.S. :EGY should qualify as African team even if they finish second in the tournament behind :RSA provided South Africa relinquish their spot and Egypt maintain top 20 ranking. (They have a healthy lead over 21st ranked Poland). 

 

P.P.S. I am also assuming that FIH won't impose any more sanction on :PAK for withdrawing from Pro League midway. And Pakistan in pot 4 would face a top 3 team (India or one of the top European teams) which would be a mouth watering clash.

Why :RSA will relinquish quota?

Because they only send the athletes/teams qualified via international route and always relinquish quotas earned at continental tournaments.

Is it only applicable for hockey or all team sports?

The sports with lesser chances of medals like hockey. Not in rugby sevens

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?   In fact, Ukraine dominates Europe as much as Japan does the world- they have the best school in women's wrestling.
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.  
    • Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/
