What happened?

Janeth Gomez was a medal favorite in 59kg and by form a silver at last bronze. Lifters above us are either going to be suspended or having injuries and in terrible form. With Mexico being allowed just 2 per gender, she should have gone. They chose Ana Lopez in 55kg (no medal chance)  and Aremi Zavala in 76kg not in form currently but has 3rd  best lift among all. 

 

Gomez did well in the last tournament in Colombia but they didn't change their decision. Now the lifter behind Gomez from Ecuador is a medal favorite despite finishing behind the Mexican.

Oh, weightlifting :d 

 

Yeah, no quota or medal in any sport A is going to make up for anything in sport B. Maybe for general fans, but definitely not for the people involved (i.e. the athletes) :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Mexico lost a sure Olympic medal yesterday due to some terrible decision. Not sure if a rythmic gymnastics qualifications could have healed it or if people in Mexico care

Well, Mexico did qualify, but in individual rhythmic gymnastics. This is the first time Mexico qualifies in this sport, either in individual or group, so it's a historic moment and one their gymnastics federation has been waiting for 37 years. Also, Mexico qualified for the first time also in trampoline, so the country has qualified in all gymnastics disciplines!

Now, I'm pretty sure this doesn't heal the shock of losing a sure medal.

And maybe this is not the first it's happening in Mexican Sports. Favouritism seems to be there in a couple of mexican sports federations , maybe across all countries but it's terrible when athletes don't get rewarded despite being deserved. It used to happen in india during asian games some political influence and you qualify for some sports like pencak Silat and all but who cares it's more like doesn't matter, shouldn't happen at least for Olympics.

Well, I agree with you. People in Mexico doesn’t care about other sports than football (and to a minor extent baseball, boxing & diving) so they probably didn’t knew our girls were fighting for a spot.

 

As for the decision in weightlifting, I think the federation is to blame, as they should have monitored better every single lifter making it to the national teams. I would hope the president of the federation could be sacked after this debacle, but he probably is another protegé of that scum we have as Sports Director.

Apparently the Oceanian qualifier did not count? @thiago_simoes

 

Mexico in?

The latest information is that they're still debating about which individual from Australia will take the quota since the second-place gymnast protested the results. Nothing has been said about groups, but I believe the results have not been contested.

It's been widely assumed at this point that no matter what happens the quotas will still go to Oceania in order to respect the universality principle.

shameful decision in the Italian team...

 

despite having won all the direct matchups (last one, this weekend at the Italian Nationals) against Alexandra Agiurgiuculese and being the best among our girls in the international competitions earlier this year, Sofia Raffaeli has been left home by our coaches...

 

in the individual event in Tokyo, Milena Baldassari and Alexandra Agiurgiuculese will represent Italy...

This is completely absurd. Agiurgiuculese didn't deserve to qualify. As far as I understand, the national team coordinator is minimizing this decision saying that Raffaeli is still young and Paris will come soon, but this sport is very hard on the body of gymnasts and no one knows whether Raffaeli will even continue to train until 2024. Terrible decision and now I can't force myself to cheer for Italy in Tokyo anymore, unfortunately.
