Recommended Posts

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 67kg: :EGY:LAT

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)

:EGY Ali El-Sawy (67kg)

:EGY Abdalla Abdelaziz (75kg)

:EGY Ahmed Shawky (Kata)

:MAR Adnane El-Hakimi (Kata)

 

Africa - Women

:EGY Feryal Abdelaziz (+61kg)

:EGY Radwa Sayed (55kg)

:MAR Btissam Sadini (61kg)

:EGY Sarah Sayed (Kata)

 

America - Men

:USA Thomas Scott (75kg)

:USA Brian Irr (+75kg)

:VEN Andres Madera (67kg)

:CHI Joaquin Gonzalez (67kg)

:CAN Daniel Gaysinsky (+75kg)

 

America - Women

:PER Alexandra Grande (61kg)

:BRA Valeria Kumizaki (55kg)

:DOM Tanya Rodriguez (+61kg)

:DOM Maria Dmitrova (Kata)

 

Asia - Men

:KAZ Daniyar Yuldashev (+75kg)

:KAZ Yermek Ainazarov (75kg)

:UZB Dastonbek Otabolaev (75kg)

:UZB Sadriddin Saymatov (67kg)

 

Asia - Women

:CHN Gong Li (+61kg)

:IRI Rozita Alipour (61kg)

:KAZ Sofya Berultseva (+61kg)

:CHN Li Ranran (55kg)

:IRI Fatemeh Sadeghi (Kata)

:AZE Asiman Gurbanli (+75kg)

:AZE Firdovsi Farzaliyev (67kg)

:MNE Mario Hodzic (67kg)

 

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

Men's +75kg: :TUR:IRI:GER:CRO:GEO:KAZ:UKR + :USA

Women's 55kg: :TUR:UKR:TPE:IRI:GER:AUT:CHN + :EGY:BRA

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.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
