Skateboarding Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[Laraja 1,494]

So, I decided to remake the qualification simulation for Skateboarding, after these announces from WS and using their Official Ranking(Without counting National Championship points yet)

 

 

Looks that we will not have any African country participating at Park Competitions and, perhaps, also at Women's Street.

 

Also, Looks WS will not count Continental Championships anymore, even after European and Oceanian events had already taken place.

 

Then, those are the changes:

 

Men's Street: No big changes, only the position of few skaters on the ranking

Women's Street: Changes on their positions on the ranking. And  loses two possible quotas,  loses one. In their places  and  get one each.  gets one quota for no African Nation.

Men's Park:  gets one quota for no African Nation.

Women's Park:  gets one quota for no African Nation.

that's good news for Italy...

 

I'd never think Lanzi could make it, but it looks she's lucky enough to sneak in thanks to reallocations...

 

the more athletes we qualify, the better it is for our very "tormented" sport right now...

Oh, these look very good. The street area has a lot of diversity in terms of features. That will create a great comp hopefully.

The question now... What are they going to do with the three quotas direct from Worlds?

 

 

I believe they will just use the ranking to fill all the 20 quotas

Meaning that Dew Tour is the only event left for the park ranking?

 

If your theory is correct that would put Glifberg pretty close to the Olympics

Yes, Dew Tour will be the last event.

 

Yes, he is close, but right now, if we consider the points from national championships, there are other skateboarders in a better position than him. Including another Danish, Dannie Carlsen.

 

As usual WS is a big mess, they took off the points from continental championship and decided adding national points separately.

 

Glifberg was third in Danish Championship, this result is disturbing his way to Tokyo.

That's pretty weird. Media has given Glifberg some decent attention and he has mentioned that 33rd place himself (the rankings without nationals). But I guess if it's the federation that's a mess the skaters may not be aware of that detail.
