To be fair here, I think Zaza's qualification says more about the state of table tennis in Western Asia than anything else.

Doha, Qatar will host the Asian Qualification event right before the World Singles Qualifiers in March.   I assume some other continents will do the same and will have their qualifiers in Do

JEON Jihee from the Korean mix double you are behind of will most probably not participate Olympic Games, she failed in the Korean trials for WC this year so she is not on the list. Usually for east asian countries, if you can't participate the WC, then Olympic is even more unrealistic for you.

Thanks for the clarification. Didn´t know that.

 

Well, the chance is here. they have everything in their own hands, hopefully they will not throw it away

it seems we will have separate tournament West Asia zone which will be held from 23 to 26 February in Jordan. for other zones it will be held in Thailand from 6 to 12 April.

 

Entries for West Asian event

and this document says

http://attu.org/storage/event_section/XZcCX9FIGfQdxhYvLtKdF3xDbvpjqo8wwsm7OIgA.pdf

 

The remaining one (1) Asian Continental quota place shall be allocated to the highest ranked player among the respective first reserve players in each regional qualification, based on the May 2020 Individual Olympic Ranking Lists.

 

to me it means the best player in ITTF ranking among runner-ups in all 5 regions will qualify.

per my understanding they didn't limit Asian countries to qualify just 1, so India for example can qualify 1 by winning the region and the other one by finishing as the best runner-up !

 

this is the current WR for non-qualified athletes

30 :IND Gnanasekaran

34 :IND Achanta

61 :IRI Alamian

64 :KAZ Gerassimenko

90 :IND Desai

 

and women

42 :THA Sawettabut

67 :IND Batra

87 :THA Paranang

121 :IND Mukherjee

 

on the men's side it seems India only has to enter those 2 guys to qualify both of them !

That's correct though I don't know why they couldn't host a final tournament to decide the last quota.

yes that was a better idea with all players being available in Thailand, (except west Asia which is the weakest zone) this format opens doors for match fixing too. for example if this Thai girl keeps her place, she only has to reach the final and then she can do a favor to the other finalist (specially if the other finalist is from Thailand too)

 

the document also didn't say anything about a region with only 2 players entering from the same country. so I guess it means Mongolia is already qualified in women's singles. (unless they just don't show up)

 

btw on the men's side it seems the most interesting competition will be in central Asia zone, this Gerassimenko guy and our Alamian brothers. only if Taherkhani could convert his match point against Slovenia in team qualifier :wall: things could be much different

      It's funny how for basically every World Cup event we have the TV cameras on the left side of the hills. Yet for every Olympics they always have them on the right side  Definitely need time to adjust.

      Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
