Men's Water Polo Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

So when did South Africa decide to send their wp teams? Makes no sense at all. I wonder if FINA pressured them to send teams to get full continental representation.

RIP Russia's and Georgia's chances for a quota if that's true. If there will be only 3 quotas for the OQT, Croatia, Montenegro and Greece will qualify.

Any official confirmation?

 

It's surely true that South Africa have relaxed their criteria and will have more athletes in Tokyo across many sports...https://www.sascoc.co.za/2020/01/24/six-months-count-down-to-tokyo-2020-olympic-games/

It doesn't help that majority of selection policies are yet to be published... Though I personally don't expect it to be true. Sending WP teams would be pushing it even for more relaxed standards, as they have already said no to way more competitive athletes (including London 2012 medalist Hartley).

according to a few prestigious sources, it's basically confirmed (still, not official, but almost) that :RSA South Africa decided to take advantage of their "free quota" in both the men and women's Waterpolo Olympic tournaments in Tokyo...

 

therefore, for what concerns the men's division, the final qualification tournament ( :NED Rotterdam, March 29th-April 5th) will only award 3 spots...

 

and it's confirmed that it will be a 12-team tournament (so far, only the 5 European sides :NED / :CRO / :MNE / :RUS / :GRE and :CAN are officially confirmed as starters in this tournament...the remaining 6 teams however should be all from outside Europe, with more European teams -in ranking order- from the last ECH standing-by waiting for possible withdrawls of teams with priority)...

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
