Vektor 3,177 Posted February 3, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) China withdrew from the OQT because of the Coronavirus. This means that Kazakhstan will be in our group, with Serbia, Hungary and Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if Hong Kong and Thailand won't take this opportunity to participate in the OQT with Norway, Montenegro and Romania. I mean, the coronavirus is also there. And you know what that means? Germany is about to get really lucky. Edited February 3, 2020 by Vektor Benolympique and phelps 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,576 Posted February 7, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hong Kong has said no, but it sounds like Thailand will go, but no final confirmation yet from their NOC. If not, the spot should essentially go to the best continent, not the best non-qualified country (according to a mail from IHF to Danish newspaper Politiken), but apparently it's not quite so sure (as it's a completely new situation). So it could be Denmark (as best non-qualified from the Euro) or Germany (best from Worlds) or even a third possibility: A wild card. Personally I don't see who should get such a wild card (unless they decide to go for Australia knowing very well that they wouldn't stand a chance) other than one of those 2. It's afterall 2 major handball nations and markets and clearly the 2 best non-qualified teams. But then again. If Thailand confirm their participation, it doesn't really matter.

If Thailand confirm their participation, it doesn't really matter. it would be nice to have a playoff match between GER and DEN, with the winner going to the actual OQT... it will never happen, but I'd really like something like that...

Blue Swede 8 Posted February 10, 2020 #26 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Very easy group for Sweden to qualify in. They could write the Tokyo tickets out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
