Table Tennis Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[MHSN 3,661]

we had 86 quotas available for male players

 

48 for teams + 22 continental events + 1 wild card + 4 World Qualifiers = 75

 

11 quotas are left for mixed double players + ranking.

 

Cuba and Canada already used two of those quotas (since they are using players who didn't qualify in singles)

 

which means maximum 9 will qualify through ranking. but we still don't know 7 of qualified teams in mixed doubles, so it will be minimum 2 and maximum 9 players through the ranking. depends on those 7 remaining mixed doubles teams.

 

at the moment only Pitchford and Aruna are 100% guaranteed a place in Tokyo

Players qualified in mixed doubles have a sure spot in singles, too? Or can you explain more your explanation of minimum 2 and maximum 9 players?

No, mixed doubles players don't automatically compete in the singles.

 

For every mixed doubles athlete not qualified in singles a reduction of the world rankings quota occurs because we can only have a maximum of 86 men and 86 women in table tennis.

Canada and Cuba have already entered mixed doubles-only athletes.

Therefore, at most, there will be 68 starters in the men's singles.

Slovakian XD pair will not qualify in singles I think.

Also Austria (men).

 

So, by my reckoning (and provided North Korea really withdraws), there shall be 6 spots for men, and 10 for women awarded via rankings.

 

Men

Pitchford

Aruna

Gardos

Samsonov

Habesohn

Gerassimenko

 

Women

Pesotska

Matelova

Shao

Gaponova

Vivarelli

De Nutte

Dvorak

Moret

Ho

Lupulesku

Wouldn't the French quotas (assuming North Korea withdraws) be reallocated to the European qualifier?

 

That would mean 9 quotas will be available for the women's ranking (Balazova would be qualified in the singles)

what 7 countries you have to qualify in the XD ? + top 5+1 in the ranking ( ??)

 

in that case, that will open up 4 more quotas for the ranking (AUS/KOR/FRA/ROU) and yes there will be 6 to qualify

 

btw Samsonov didn't participate in the world qualifier and also the European qualifier. I wonder if the grandpa is OK. maybe they just wanted to give 2 chances to other Belorussian players, (as they knew Samsonov will qualify via ranking)

[hckošice 15,122]

Our federation (if they are not wrong) claims "Barbi" Balážová will qualify from the ranking and not by EQT reallocation Pištej is out in Singles but will made it with Barbora in the doubles, btw Also they claims the MD quotas should be officialized by early May ranking, would this means the final MD qualifier is cancelled ?

Yes, this would give Slovakia and Bulgaria reallocations.

 

There should be 11 spots via rankings, since all female players in doubles will also take part in singles. Technically, there are 59 fixed spots + whatever is left from the mixed doubles (up to 70).
