I was surprised by the level of Palestinian girl (who will face Momenzadeh from Iran in an hour) but after a quick search she turned out to be Iranian :d:facepalm: this is new. refugee/migrant in Palestine :d (she lives in Turkey btw, just represents Palestine)

Semifinals for later this afternoon

 

Men's 68kg: :TPE vs :PLE //// :UZB vs :KAZ

Men's 80kg: :JOR vs :KGZ //// :TJK vs :TPE

Women's 49kg: :VIE vs :KAZ //// :IRI vs :TPE

Women's 67kg: :JOR vs :p:p //// :QAT vs :UZB

 

--------------------------

the only surprise today was Thailand losing to Palestine in men's 68kg. I don't think the Palestinian guy is originally from there but he was pretty good against Thailand. still it will be very hard for him to beat top seed from TPE but if he does that will be the first quota for Palestine. interesting timing.

 

also no surprise in women's 49kg. top 4 made it to the semifinal. Momenzadeh beat the fake Palestinian (Iranian living in Turkey lol) almost easily. she will have the match of her life against the Asian Games and Universiade Champion from TPE. I wish she was the 4th seed (instead of 3rd) the top seed from Vietnam was much easier for her.

May I ask is there a timetable writing when is the Quaterfinal/semifinal/final? Or just based on the serial number of 101-116/201-209 and guessing the time? @MHSN

I believe the SF will start on 15:00 (Jordan time) . and no final. just a 3rd place match in case one of the finalists get disqualified. and the afternoon session will be held only on Court 1. (all match numbers starting with 1)

 

preliminaries and QF start on 9:00 (local time)

2nd day brackets

https://www.ma-regonline.com/downloads/1489/DRAW DAY 2 - ASIAN QUALIFICATION TOURNAMENT FOR TOKYO 2020.pdf

 

very tough draw for :IRI Kiani, she has to beat the World Champion from Thailand for the quota :(

 

only 4 athletes registered for women's +67kg. :KAZ and :UZB are clear favorites but the Philippine girl qualified last time. she is hoping for another surprise.

also just 6 for men's +80kg. looks very easy for :CHN Sun, but :KAZ Zhaparov has to beat (most probably) the Afghan refugee guy I wrote about earlier.

men's 58kg, :THA looks safe in the first half, :JOR is the favorite in the other half but :MGL and :PHI are there too

 

women's 57kg is more crowded with 14 participants. :THA Harnsujin is the current world champion and the clear fovorite from her half (she has to deal with :IRI and probably later :JOR) but for the bottom half we have :TPE as the favorite but I also see :VIE:PHI:LBN challenging her for the quota.

As someone who follows Thai sports, I won't be surprise if Harnsujin fails to qualify for the Olympics as she can be inconsistent. For instance, several months after winning the world championships, she only won bronze in the 2019 South East Asian Games. Harnsujin has not done well in other tournaments like the grand prix, etc. Considering the Iranian is not a slouch and had some success in the 49 kg category, she could easily "upset" Harnsujin. Also factoring in the pandemic, Harnsujin's preparation might not be up to par.

 

If you follow Thailand and their performances in all sports, you would realize that Panipak Wongpattanakit is one of the country's few consistent amateur/professional athletes. Thai athletes are very inconsistent.

My Predictions

 

+67kg : Kazakshthan and Phillipines. The Question is by how easily they'll win. Could be 10-20 point difference for both. :PHI:KAZ

 

-57kg: This is quite interesting 

The best athlete in this weight no doubt is Pauline Lopez of Phillipines should qualify in her half. I don't remember if she lost to any Thai athlete (Vipawan or Harnsujin) in the last 2 years ,probably not. :PHI:THA

 

Upper half it could be Thailand as favourite. She's the 53kg world champion been in and out for 57kg category. She has been winning and losing against Vipawan over last 2 years in the trials.  On a good day even Iran and Jordan(with a little cheating) can qualify

the live stream was terrible but from what I understood the followings qualified:

 

Men's 68kg: :TPE:UZB

Men's 80kg: :JOR:TPE

Women's 49kg: :VIE:TPE

Women's 67kg: :JOR:UZB

 

top 2 seeds qualified in all weights but one. men's 68kg. where Kazakhstan lost to Uzbekistan but that wasn't really surprising.

Impressive showing as expected from the Taiwanese jins going 3 out of 3 possible quotas, looks like they’re the most prepared team in this tournament

 

Uzbekistan and Jordan are 2 out of 2 so far, while Kazakhstan goes empty handed in day1 though I expect them to get two quotas tomorrow

 

Tough possible matches for us Philippines tomorrow:

M-58kg vs Jordan

W-57kg vs Chinese Taipei

W+67kg vs Uzbekistan

Hoping for at least 1quota ??????

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
