Well she was in but declined the quota.

Are you sure, because it looks like Paolini #87 and Jorovic #90 SR were the last ones in from Europe. Bogdan is #91.

 

Anyways I am really surprised that so many Romanian girls aren't going. I expected them to care about the Olympics especially being Romanian. Cirstea and Begu have been before, but Tig and Bogdan? That surprised me.

Why are Pedro and Joao Sousa both listed as quelified by continental place? 

Two ITF Places (Oceania quota and host quota) had to be reallocated in both the men's and women's singles (next highest ranked athlete), but the ITF still calls them ITF Places. Pedro got the European quota while Joao for the reallocated quota. We see a similar thing on the women's side where :SRB Nina Stojanovic got the European quota while her compatriot Ivana Jorovic got the reallocated quota.

Oh, ok thanks. Tho I still wonder if they both should get the quota really as european place is for country with no player qualified IIRC

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

@hckošice someone had to pull out and wikipedia now has Schmiedlova with Continental quota 

:roflmao:

 

If true then it is really bad luck for her, it came half day too late. Our Team was today officially approved and finalised by the NOC general assembly.

 

As far I understood correctly, the only exceptions being allowed to be added to the team now are only by eventual re-allocation in Triathlon (only for M event Richard Varga) and MTB Cycling (only for M Cross-country)..but looks unlikely..

and the only relaxed rules are for any eventual invitation we may receive in Swimming, because somehow FINA forget about Slovakia it appears, we did not receive any charity invitation or information so far :lol: it looks like we are going for the first time to not have any swimmer at the Olympics. 20 years afte Moravcová won 2 silvers in Sydney :d

 

but yeah...not like it will be even noticed in the country, so ...:p

I think the logic is that the European places were awarded first and then the reallocated quotas which ended up being the same nation. Of course with athletes still pulling out the point might be moot.

I think all the lists may be adjusted until July 5th, maybe even later. If Schmiedlova does not reject the quota, I think SOC won't either.....

    • 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.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
