By cancelling the European Championships, WKF will count 2019 results which means the current ranking will remain the same, even though it's really hard to imagine they can have that last K1 event in Madrid but I still consider that as a possibility, this is how ranking looks like and this is the list of 100% qualified athletes.

 

Men's Kata

:ESP Damian Quintero - 10117.5 Q

:TUR Ali Sofuoglu - 6892.5 Q

:VEN Antonio Diaz - 5205 Q

:ITA Mattia Busato - 4650 Q

 

 

Men's 60kg

:KAZ Darkhan Assadilov - 10387.5 Q

:ITA Angelo Crescenzo - 8850

:TUR Eray Samdan - 7912.5

 

Crescenzo is 100% qualified if less than 32 athletes register which is really possible considering the situation, Samdan needs to win the gold, Creszenzo losing the first round and also needs at least 33 athletes in the draw. looks almost impossible

 

 

Men's 67kg

:FRA Steven Dacosta - 8940 Q

:BRA Vinicius Figueira - 6832.5

:EGY Ali El-Sawy - 6472.5

 

 

Men's 75kg

:IRI Bahman Askari - 9262.5 Q

:ITA Luigi Busa - 7740 Q

:AZE Rafael Aghayev - 7005 Q

:UKR Stanislav Horuna - 5707.5

:USA Thomas Scott - 5047.5

 

 

Men's 84kg

:TUR Ugur Aktas - 10372.5 Q

:IRI Zabihollah Poursheib - 9225

:CRO Ivan Kvesic - 7087.5

 

 

Men's +84kg

:IRI Sajjad Ganjzadeh - 8617.5

:GER Jonathan Horne - 8062.5

:GEO Gogita Arkania - 7080

 

Horne only has to participate in Madrid to qualify, even not participating most probably won't hurt him. but if Horne makes up for almost 600pts difference with Ganjzadeh that will change so many things. Kevsic and Arkania can't do anything themselves, their fates depend on Horne and Ganjzadeh.

 

 

Women's Kata

:ESP Sandra Sanchez - 12322.5 Q

:ITA Viviana Bottaro - 7275 Q

:HKG Grace Lau - 6300 Q

:USA Sakura Kokumai - 5887.5 Q

 

 

Women's 50kg

:TUR Serap Ozcelik - 11302.5 Q

:IRI Sara Bahmanyar - 5647.5

:AUT Bettina Plank - 5197.5

 

 

Women's 55kg

:UKR Anzhelika Terliuga - 9472.5 Q

:TPE Wen Tzu-Yun - 7080 Q

 

 

Women's 61kg

:CHN Yin Xiaoyan - 10545 Q

:EGY Giana Lotfy - 7710 Q

:TUR Merva Coban - 7027.5 Q

:SRB Jovana Prekovic - 5482.5

:CAN Haya Jumaa - 5137.5

:IRI Rozita Alipour - 5107.5

:FRA Gwendoline Philippe - 4890

:FRA Leila Heurtault - 4515

 

 

Women's 68kg

:AZE Irina Zaretska - 9247.5 Q

:SUI Elena Quirici - 6525

:CHN Gong Li - 6412.5

:EGY Feryal Abdelaziz - 6075

:ITA Silvia Semeraro - 5730

 

 

Women's +68kg

:IRI Hamideh Abbasali - 6997.5 Q

:TUR Meltem Hocaoglu - 5677.5

:GRE Eleni Chatziliadou - 5655

:KAZ Sofya Berultseva - 5467.5

:ITA Clio Ferracuti - 5017.5

 

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

 

so in short I can say 2 athletes qualified tonight with this decision

:TPE Wen Tzu-Yun

:TUR Merva Coban

Another Announcemente from WKF, replied by Brazilian Karate Federation

 

Dear WKF National Federations,

 

We have received today an official communication of the Madrid PL host, the Spanish Karate Federation, informing us that the Madrid PL has to be cancelled in the actual circumstances derived from Covid-19 pandemia, which are well known to all.

 

Consequently, the WKF cancel the Madrid PL with immediate effect and no further registrations will be accepted.

 

Regards,


Antonio Espinós

President

 

Is that means the qualification period is finished?

Men's 75kg: :AUS:USA

Men's +75kg: :KAZ:USA

Women's Kata: :NZL

Women's 55kg: :AUT

Women's 61kg: :PER:MAR

Women's +61kg: :EGY:CHN

 

 

here is the detailed list, only athletes in bold are qualified right now. others are next in line

 

Oceania - Men

:AUS Tsuneari Yahiro (75kg)

 

Oceania - Women

:NZL Alexandra Anacan (Kata)

:AUS Kristina Mah (61kg)

:VEN Andres Madera (67kg)

:CHI Joaquin Gonzalez (67kg)

:CAN Daniel Gaysinsky (+75kg)

 

America - Women

:PER Alexandra Grande (61kg)

Europe - Women

:ITA Silvia Semeraro (+61kg)

:AUT Bettina Plank (55kg)

:UKR Anita Serogina (61kg)

:ESP Laura Palacio (+61kg)

:BUL Ivet Goranova (55kg)

 

 

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

 

from the list above only the following athletes are 100% guaranteed a spot even if they fail to qualify directly . for the rest anything is possible. if anybody in that list qualifies directly that changes the order completely. for example if Egypt qualifies at 67kg, the African quota goes to 75kg and that will ruin USA's chance at this weight.

 

:AUS Men's 75kg

:NZL Women's Kata

:EGY Men's 67kg

:EGY Women's +61kg

 

 

another example, if Gong Li qualifies directly, Asian quota goes to Alipour (61kg) , European quota goes to Italy instead of Austria. then the 3rd African quota will go to a male athlete from Morocco in Kata therefore the last American quota will be a female which will be Brazil. that was an example to show one athlete can makes change for 4 more !

There're even doubts about having international Olympic tournament in Paris so if it will be cancelled as well they are going to qualify 6 athletes Per each category and it should be with athletes that gained continental quota that's per a member in Egyptian federation

personally I think if they can't have the last OQT in France (or anywhere else) that means the situation is still very bad in May and I don't think we will have the Olympics in July. and if they postpone the Olympics itself, there will be enough time to have all these qualifiers.

 

but in case they want to count the ranking to qualify 3 more athletes per weight, this will be the list of qualifiers

 

it will be good for Egypt, Turkey and Kazakhstan, interestingly Turkey will have a full 8 member team ! :yikes:

 

Men's Kata: :ESP:TUR:VEN:ITA:USA:GER:EGY + :MAR

Men's 67kg: :KAZ:FRA:ITA:BRA:TUR:EGY:RUS + :UZB:LAT

Men's 75kg: :IRI:ITA:AZE:UKR:USA:TUR:KAZ + :AUS:EGY

WKF announced the list of Qualified athletes so far

https://www.wkf.net/news-center-new/meet-karates-first-qualified-athletes-for-tokyo-2020/1256

 

while we knew it already, the most interesting part is the Japanese names. all high ranked Japanese athletes in each category are qualified . not sure if it was mandatory by WKF or that was Japan's selection criteria.

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • 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.
