Diving FINA World Cup 2021

[Adriano 591]

In Rio you have 136 divers, both who started individual and in teams event was counted as 1., many was relocated for world cup in this way which I wrote. And both events had diffrent number of divers. Polish diver was 30th, he was "18" overall but limit was over with Blaha from Austria who was one place before him. It is not possible for FINA to break this rule. In women's trampoline we have only 5 athletes in both events, and probably will be less if China will send diffrent girls than in synchro.

Canada will likely send one maybe two synchro only divers

FINA will be forced to break their rules by the courts because of a poorly written qualification document.

 

Unless athletes and NOCs decide not to fight it...

is it possible for FINA to maintain these unfortunate Diving places by removing quotas from swimming ?

Really hurts to see that Andreas Sargent is diving for Italy!

Well, to be honest, we're forgetting that we have to wait for final Entry Lists. For example in Rio, 40 out of 136 athletes competed in 2 events, and 2 athletes even competed in 3 events. So the number could be very close to 136 also in Tokyo. But if the number will be exceeded, there's nothing FINA can do about it, but I also don't think IOC is going to make a big fuss about few extra athletes. Especially when theres athletics, that exceeds the quota limit every time

This creepy situation with olympic system should be changed after Tokyo.

That’s what I was thinking as well. In theory that could work (assuming the total of swimming quotas haven’t been reached), but obviously that would lead to some very upset swimmers (and understandably so if they stand to receive one of those quotas), so I’m not sure how practical that solution would be.

Yes it looks like it, sorry for Molvalis and Tsirikos. They’re decent performers, but today wasn’t their day.

Thank you for your kind words. They are young so hopefully they make it to Paris 2024

LOL, I thought only FIG was this careless and irresponsible.
