Entry List

 

For the men, 5 groups (4 athletes each) will play a round robin with the top two advancing to a single elimination tournament

For the women, 3 groups (4 athletes in two, 3 athletes in one) will play a round robin with the top two advancing to a single elimination tournament.

Took a look at the world rankings for these athletes.

 

For the men Ali Alkhadrawi (rank: 164) leads all athletes at with Mohammed Abdulwahhab (rank: 260), Abdulaziz Bu Shulaybi (rank: 266) and Zaid Abo Yaman (rank: 320) being in the top 400.

 

For the women, only 4/11 players have a world ranking. Mariana Sahakian (rank: 372) leads all athletes with the next highest ranked player being Baa Al-Wedian (rank: 475). Should she succeed, this would be Sahakian's second Olympics.

 

Of course with rankings this low (due to lack of activity) anything could happen.

Hend Zaza 11 Y.O from syria has qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games!!  

[Dunadan 1,103]

What's Zaza's date of birth? I can't find it.

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