And in the qualifiers, 6 of the 12 teams were European.

 

Yeah, because they were actually the best ranked teams at the World Championships, so there's a reason for it.

Yeah, but that's not too surprising, given that only 7 European teams qualified.

Yeah, I was going to say that. On paper Europe has only one quota, like anyone else.

 

 

Personally I think 7 EU + 5 rest of the world is a perfect balance, for this sport.

The Olympic qualifiers should have 1-2 teams from each continent.

For me only the best teams should go to Olympics, no matther where they are from

Whereas I think that the Olympics should have adequate representation of all continents.

Which Handball does. There’s at least one team from each of the Olympic regions.

Besides basketball (which only gives two spots to Europe and Pan America) and football (which only does continental qualifiers) none of the other team sports gives more than 1 continental spot to each continent. Other than guaranteeing Europe more quotas, handball doesn't strike as a sport that needs to do that.

 

The issue is handball is very Euro-centric which is why you see more European teams at the Olympics, when was the last time more than two non-European nations finished in the top 10 at the world championships?

So I checked and 2021 is by far the closest we've ever been to having three non-European teams in the men's handball world championship. Argentina ruined it by finishing 11th.

Rugby sevens gives spots to 6 continents: Africa, Asia, North and South America, Europe and Oceania.

 

Basketball and field hockey give spots to 5 continents: Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe and Oceania.

 

Indoor volleyball also gives spots to 5 continents: Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Europe.

 

Handball only gives spots to 4 continents: Africa, Asia, Americas and Europe.

      I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
