well it's easy to predict that Asia #1 will be :CHN and Asia #2 will be :IRI . but if they want to participate here that's another question.

 

but according to Iranian Swimming Federation, they received a letter from organizers and the Asian Qualifiers are postponed to 24 February, in the same venue, Kazakhstan. but this is just a proposal and not confirmed yet. it seems they want to kill time as much as possible because both Chinese teams are in Europe (in Spain if I'm not wrong) and in a kind of quarantine

 

Both Chinese men and women national team are currently training in Montenegro, Men's team kept training in Spain for a long time before Montenegro and Women's team went there from China at the end of January. Even the event is not suspended, the quarantine time should be still enough. I hope China men's team could win the asian quota because they are the last and only hope of the collective ball games.

Yeah, China is pretty much sending all of their athletes overseas and having them quarantined so they can still participate in qualifiers and the Olympics. By the end of the month/March all their athl

Why is South Africa qialified automatically? OK, I understand they need an african team, but there are 54 countries in Africa. Shouldn't the winner of the African Championship qualify?

Looks like the Asian Games results will be used. This means :KAZ has qualified while :IRI= Asia 1 and :CHN= Asia 2

 

So sad Chinese guys lost the opportunity to compete the quota, they kept training in Europe all for a long time to prepare the qualifier and turn out lost it in a so dramatic way:(

most likely RSA are the African Champions, even if I just can't find any result of last year's African Champs...:mumble:

Either way, South Africa will be present in the water polo tournament for the first time since Rome 1960.

 

Back then they defeated Australia and tied Netherlands... :p

Is this confirmed ? or just a rumor or suggestion ?! that's unbelievable. I mean everybody knows Kazakhstan would win the quota but still it's other countries' right to participate and try.

 

Kazakhstan can't host the tournament they promised to host, so let's give them a free quota ?! giving free quotas in Oceania and Africa wasn't enough for FINA already ?! if nobody is interested to host the competition, they just can have it few days before the Qualification tournament in the Netherlands. (and Italy for the women's qualification)

There are no senior African Championships, other countries only field teams for youth categories. The only official continental competition South Africa regularly participates in is the EU Nations Cup with weaker European teams.

Until now only some influential media report it and no official confirmation yet. I can't believe it either. It's quite understandable no other asian countries are willing to host it because only China and Kazakhstan are capable to get the quota. No one wants to be the host country with no hope for quota.

      She's quite well-known in the world of alpine skiing, and besides, she's had several serious injuries and always returned to a high level. Now, for me, she has a chance to win a medal in the giant slalom on OG.

      Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately show the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.

      Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)

      Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way.

      Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.

      team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
