The next best ranked not already qualified athlete after the ones I have mentioned is :HUN Alekszejev, which I guess means that we will certainly get one more quota via reallocation. And then we will also have to decide what to do with our 3 athletes, potentially reallocating either a world or European quota.

 

In other words: it's best to just wait until UIMP announces what's going on with the ranking quotas by the end of June.

We lose quotas everywhere, but here we gaining too many. Well, I think the participation of Gulyás has no doubt for what she has shown in this early 2021.

  

Yeah, Gulyás is safe. the second Hungarian spot is between Kovács and Alekszejev. I think we will send the latter, Kovács missed too many event, it's too risky to send her.

Top9 quota eligible athletes on the men's ranking:

 

:GER Liebig

:EGY Hamed

:BLR Palazkov

:GBR Toolis

:GER M. Dogue

:KOR Jung

:UKR Tymoshchenko

:CZE Kuf

:KOR Seo

 

So :KOR has 4, :GER has 3, :GBR has 3, :EGY has 3. Which means 5 quota reallocations once these countries decide which quotas they will reject.

quota egypt hungary men's today ?

Yep, that's for sure.

 

The ranking quotas on the other hand can be messy with all the reallocations, so we will probably have to wait a few weeks for all the countries with more than 2 qualified athletes to decide.

@Benolympique

 

As for the ranking quotas, I would say this:

 

Men's (9 quotas)

 

+1 :GER +1 :BLR +1 :UKR +1 :CZE 

 

Women's (8 quotas)

 

+1 :GBR +1 :MEX +1 :ITA +1 :RUS +1 :GER 

 

These are the "official quotas" as these countries are in the Top8/Top9 among the eligible athletes. Which means that we are missing 5 male and 3+1 female quotas (and there are also 2-2 tripartite quotas). 

 

Those 5 male and 4 female quotas will be officially given to other countries in two weeks, the reallocation period ends on June 29.

Or maybe I am wrong and we can already calculate the reallocation. Maybe @Vojthas can shed some light on what's official and what's not right now. 

 

As far as the Hungarian Olympic Committee is concerned, they confirmed that 5(!) male Hungarian pentathletes are eligible for Tokyo. Madness. Good luck for our coach to choose two.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
