Athletics WA World Relays 2021

Guys, I think there have been some confusion about the qualification system. I think IOC and WA wanted to make the qualification system a bit interesting. So they made 2 events from which can countries directly qualify. 

 

1) First 8 relay from WCH 2019

2) Relay, that is placed in Top 8 at the 2021 World Relays and haven't qualified for Tokyo 2020 yet. This means if there is a team placed 9th during the World Relays, does not automatically qualify and has to wait for the world ranking. 

3) The most unlike scenario is that all 8 teams would qualify from World Relay which would remain no team to qualify from the World Ranking. 

4) So for example, if there are 2 teams placed in Top 8 that has not qualified for Tokyo 2020 yet, they will qualify through world relays and there will be only 6 remaining spots from the world ranking. 

 

5) About :JAM 4x100 Men ..... They would have to be extremely unlucky. There would have to be 8 team which has not qualified from WCH 2019 and will qualify from world relay which would remain no spot for Jamaica team from world ranking. They are on a qualifying position and I doubt they would not qualify. I am a bit more sceptical about :TTO that is 14th in the ranking and not participating in the world relays will put them in trouble. :CAN in 9th place and :JAM in 11th place will most likely make it in my opinion even though they won't participate in world relays.

India had trained well for the competition but not allowed to board flight to Amsterdam to reach Poland due to covid cases in India! How bad is that? 

Like would be the case for a number of other countries. Sad, although of course expected. Hopefully they find some other way, surely India - Amsterdam - Poland is not the only option..

That was the only option it seems we are officially not going to the world relays due to no country giving a allowance.

Yeah that sucks :( 

 

Can't really blame those countries of course, but that doesn't make it suck any less.

At this point the World Relays should just not be offering direct spots to the Olympics and all remaining spots should be decided by ranking.

But you can't change that now as plenty of countries have targeted this meet to qualify. They can argue that there hasn't been enough races available to improve their ranking.

 

And lets face it, relay rankings are not a great indicator at all

Well, we have many problems too, no one from "golden team" of women's 4x400m relay will not compete here due to less or more serious injuries, besides Hołub-Kowalik. In addition strong part of men's 4x400m relay, Jakub Krzewina, is out too as his body didn't recovered yet enough after being infected of covid almost two months ago.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
