Usually for east asian countries, if you can't participate the WC, then Olympic is even more unrealistic for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,230 Posted February 5, 2020 #74 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) 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 http://attu.org/storage/event_section/PihNbOjnC7Y9q8GUO8Kx8gwGe3jyksJa4jorTWGH.pdf 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 Gnanasekaran 34 Achanta 61 Alamian 64 Gerassimenko 90 Desai and women 42 Sawettabut 67 Batra 87 Paranang 121 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 things could be much different Edited February 5, 2020 by MHSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
