But by repechage, the countries could also obtain the Olympic Quota, right?

Correct. Nobody has been eliminated on the women’s side yet. The 16 women in round 4 are only guaranteed a top 24 finish, and if they make it to round 5 they are only guaranteed a top 12 finish.

 

Making it all the way from the first round of the repechage is a really long road, however.

Round 4 defined for men.

 

:PAN:POR:INA:ESP:JPN:PER:MEX:CHI:GER are still on main round and close to the quotas.

 

:INA is the favorite to get at least one quota so far. 2 surfers on this round and if Shun Murakami :JPN qualifies again, Rio Waida will take it.

Murakami, please show some kindness to your fellow Japanese...

Angelo Bonomelli :ITA is out. I was betting in him to get one quota. He was the third best european surfer on ISA 2019.

 

He still can get it, if Fedrerico Morais :POR and Leon Glatzer :GER qualify in El Salvador

the only sport in the 2020 Olympic program that I know absolutely nothing about is Surfing. so I wanted to watch some of the competition today to learn a bit about the sport before the Olympics.

 

to my huge surprise I saw two Iranians in the start list :lol: (I don't even know which organization is responsible for this sport here) one of them is already eliminated and the other guy is in repechage 2 ! (and will be eliminated soon) the name "Tom Rezvan" doesn't sound Iranian at all. but I assume they are both Americans with Iranian heritage.

 

I learned the competition format. that was easy. but my question is about the number of events. I see only shortboard events will be at the Olympics. are there any other events in Surfing competitions ? longboard for example :p (sorry if this question sounds dumb :d)

What are the chances for :CRC:PAN:NCA:ESA ? :mumble:

Costa Rica have a good chance on women's side with Leilani. The men are all of them on repechage.

 

Panama have a surfer on main round 4, amazing performance so far.

 

El Salvador the best surfer is Bryan Perez, but, if I am not wrong, all surfers are in repechage rounds...

 

Nicaragua has two sisters still fighting for quota, and it is a big surprise for me. Candelaria on main round 4 and Valentina on repechage round 4.

So, Longboard, as you said, the board is longer :lol:

 

But there are different tricks and different ways to rate the surfers on the waves. For example, there is a maneuver where the surfers put all the fingers of their feet outside of the board. This counts a lot for juries.

 

Stand Up Surf is basically the same of shortboard, but they use paddle.

 

Stand Up Race is just a race :lol:

    • 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.
