why the quotas in marathon track and field i am not adding? on wikipedia I saw wild cards for Brunei, Cook Islands, Timor, Tonga .. Are they reliable?

I won't be adding wild cards for athletics and swimming as they were not decided by the tripartite commission.

 

As for those wild cards, they are not reliable as technically a different athlete from that continent could score a higher world ranking in a different event and take the quota.

Wait, gymnastics? Pakistan has not sent gymnasts to any of the World Championships in recent years!

The only time I've even heard about a Pakistani gymnast was at the Southeast Asian Championships in the mid 2000s.

What was Pakistan doing at Southeast Asian championships?

Pretty sure they are not in Southeast Asia ;)

 

Saying that they’re registering badminton is a bit shocking too.. I think Sri Lanka has like 1000x more chance to get one

Not off the top of my head... Usually if you are good enough to medal, you are good enough to qualify normally.

 

The most likely sport for this to happen would be taekwondo (and karate if it ever returns) due to the low number of overall quotas.

lots of medal contenders (including at least 3 Olympic Champions) failed to qualify in wrestling. but these kind of "medal contenders" are usually from strong nations and they are not eligible for the Tripartite invitation.

 

someone asked me this question today and my instant answer was yes! but then when I started to think, nobody came to my mind :d I assume nobody won a medal with "Tripartite invitation" but I think it happened with wild cards before when they weren't this strict.

 

I remember back in 1996 when Russia failed to qualify a full wrestling team, FILA (former UWW) gave them a wild card to have a full team in Atlanta, that guy (Chechenol Mongush) finished 4th but I assume someone won a medal with those wild cards in other sports. (I mean Wild Card for Russia in wrestling is the last thing you would imagine)

 

This article says Kye Sun-hui won Olympic gold in Judo in 1996 thanks to a wild card, I don't fully trust ITG though

Yup, I got the facts completely wrong. It was actually the Central South Asian Championships, and it was not in the mid-2000s, but instead early 2010s. I found the page with the results that I remember reading at the time.

Well, an article from Dong A Ilbo might help to support this https://www.donga.com/en/article/all/20010730/208225/1/Women-s-Judo-Era-of-Kye-Sun-Hui

I think in this case they're right...

 

I remeber very well the final between Kye Sun and Tamura...it was one of the biggest shock of the Games...

Ryszard Wolny from Poland got such a wild card and then won Gold in 68kg Greco-Roman wrestling category in Atlanta 1996. 

 

But those wild cards were actually something very different from today's tripartite invitations.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
