Karate Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

so, here we have a quick recap of the current distribution of Continental quota:

 

Europe (European Games Minsk 2019)

:UKR Stanislav Horuna, men's kumite -75kg (but, according to the 10 athletes per weight limit and to the order of choice of those who're going to fill the list of qualified athletes, he should be replaced by :AZE Asiman Gurbanli, men's kumite +75kg, as there are already more than 2 fighters from other Continents in qualifying position in the same class, who come before Europe in the order of choice)...

:ITA Silvia Semeraro, women's kumite +61kg

 

Americas (Panamerican Games Lima 2019)

:PER Alexandra Grande, women's kumite -61kg

:USA Brian Irr, men's kumite +75kg

:BRA Valeria Kumizaki, women's kumite -55kg

 

Oceania (OQR)

:AUS Tsuneari Yahiro, men's kumite -75kg

:NZL Alexandrea Anacan, women's kata

 

Asia (OQR)

:UZB Dastonbek Otabolaev, men's kumite -75kg

:IRI Travat Khaksar, women's kumite -55kg (same situation as Horuna in Europe...so, she should be replaced by :IRI Rozita Alipour, women's kumite -61kg)...

 

Africa (OQR)

:EGY Radwa Sayed, women's kumite -55kg

:EGY Feryal Abdelaziz, women's kumite +61kg

:MAR Adnane Elhakimi, men's kata (because of the rules of "at least 2 different NOCs" and "at least 1 athlete per gender"...otherwise he has 2 more Egyptians better placed than him -but below both Sayed and Abdelaziz in the women's divisions- and also his compatriot Btissam Sadini in the women's kumite -61kg has the same placing and more points than him in the OQR)...

 

thanks but I have a question, is this is a sure thing that they will not consider Pan African Games instead of the ranking for Africa ?

 

and another thing, Khaksar still will have the spot if the deadline was today, per rules. only first 2 American athletes will be picked before Asia. the 3rd one will be the last. also first they will pick 1 for each gender before going to the "at least 2 different NOCs" rule

 

here is the order per my understanding

 

Oceania :  2 athletes (one per gender) :AUS (M 75) :NZL (W Kata)

Africa  :  2 athletes (one per gender) :EGY (M 75) :EGY (W 55)

Pan-America  :  2 athletes (one per gender) :USA (M +75) :PER (W 61)

Asia  :  2 athletes (one per gender) :UZB (M 67) :IRI (W 55)

Europe  :  2 athletes (one per gender) :AZE (M +75) :ITA (W +61)

Africa  :  1 athlete (one per gender) :MAR (W 61)

Pan-America  :  1 athlete (gender depends on Africa selection) :VEN (M 67)

 

possible if I missed something. way too complicated. for some cases athletes were even tied in the ranking and I had to consider their points and even if one of them changes. that will change the rest too. so this list is far from over. nobody will be picked for men's Kata for now, so If this stands it will be 2 wild cards for this event.

yes, according to the official qualification document on the wkf website the only 2 continental events to be considered are the European Games and the Pan-Am Games, all the other Continents would go down to the OQR...

 

meanwhile you're right about the order of selection of the 3rd African and American picks...I just stopped reading too early...:facepalm:

 

and I agree on 100% on your final thought...this is not a good qualification system at all...

 

p.s. men's kata could be in contention if the Moroccan guy can climbs a few spots in the ranking...however, it could be that those places will be used for the tripartite commission spots (we have 2 male and 2 female of those to be distributed in any case)...

 

p.p.s. I just noticed that also Otabolaev is exceeding the 10-man limit in the men's -75kg (Oceania and Africa -now with a men's 75kg guy after you made me notice that 1 athlete per gender must be picked in every continent, also those with 3 spots available- coming before Asia in the order of choice)...so, I had to go with the next Asian guy in the rankings, but in a different weight class (luckily for UZB, he's still one of them)...

so, according to our friend @MHSN advice, this should be the current Continental Quota recap after all has been fixed...

 

Europe (European Games Minsk 2019)

:UKR Stanislav Horuna, men's kumite -75kg (but, according to the 10 athletes per weight limit and to the order of choice of those who're going to fill the list of qualified athletes, he should be replaced by :AZE Asiman Gurbanli, men's kumite +75kg, as there are already more than 2 fighters from other Continents in qualifying position in the same class, who come before Europe in the order of choice)...

:ITA Silvia Semeraro, women's kumite +61kg

 

Americas (Panamerican Games Lima 2019)

:PER Alexandra Grande, women's kumite -61kg

:USA Brian Irr, men's kumite +75kg

:VEN Andres Madera Delgado, men's kumite -67kg

 

Oceania (OQR)

:AUS Tsuneari Yahiro, men's kumite -75kg

:NZL Alexandrea Anacan, women's kata

 

Asia (OQR)

:UZB Dastonbek Otabolaev, men's kumite -75kg (same situation as Horuna in Europe, as Oceania and Africa come before Asia in the order of choice...so, he should be replaced by :UZB Sadriddin Saymatov, men's kumite -67kg)

:IRI Travat Khaksar, women's kumite -55kg

 

Africa (OQR)

:EGY Radwa Sayed, women's kumite -55kg

:EGY Abdalla Mamduh Abdelaziz, men's kumite -75kg

:MAR Btissam Sadini, women's kumite -61kg

 

 

so, if this list is finally the correct one, the 4 spots reserved for the Tripartite Commission wild cards are: 2 in the men's Kata and 1 in the women's Kata + 1 in the women's Kumite +68kg...

Maybe Andorra can get an Men's Kata tripartite! Would love that.

 

very difficult...he needs to be in the top 50 of the world ranking by the end of the OQP to be eligible for that spot (and now he's only 67th or so)...

Interesting, I didn't know of Top 50 requirement for wild cards.

 

So it looks as though only :MKD :KUW :PAK :BEN would be eligible. Benin is ranked 50th so they can easily drop out too.

 

Despite all the hype, karate is really not as globally competitive as taekwondo...

Plus, all the top level Taekwondo athletes have a similar level of skill. There’s a lot more difference in Karate.

African Games will count as continental qualification for Africa

+ Kosovo, Albania and maybe some others that I missed. Benin has one in 33rd position in the World Ranking.

No, it's only more difficult to get ranking points in karate. Apart from the continental and world championships, only the major circuit (PL and Serie A) gives points, with top athletes participating regularly, and usually you have to win 3 bouts to get a good amount of points.

    • Only 3 teams are qualified after the 2nd round :      Today starts the 3 round : will play 2 matchs at the same time ...a true war on the field
    • Barp and Pellegrino OK today. Graz was in the top 30 until the 8th km, but weakened significantly and now has no points – not good. Carollo's performance today was completely incomprehensible for me, but it's typical for Italians skier in recent years, apart maybe from Pellegrino, sameone can finish 9-10th in one day and then 50th the next day. De Fabiani? I don't think he'll ever return to even a decent level.   Korostelev has probably already received some new vitamins? Maybe Cramer could get us something too for us, to be able to scare Nor more seriously
    • Assuming Bergsma is pre-nominated for the mass-start (place 1 in The Matrix), there are currently 7 names in the matrix.   If everything goes according to expectations, this will grow to 9. In the 1000 metres the favorites are De Boo/Wennemars/Nuijs/Prins and in the 1500 metres the last three riders. It could even be limited to 8, in the unlikely event that van de Bunt qualifies in the 1500. There is precedent there: in 2001 OKT Uytdehaage won the 5000/10.000 metres as an outsider, and also qualified for the mile, as the favorites choked. He was dismissed as a lost opportunity on the very fast Salt Lake City track, but to everyone’s surpise managed to win a silver medal. But from his interview yesterday it’s clear that van de Bunt does not expect to qualify for the games in this event, it’s his ticket to the coming All Round championships (qualification based on 1500/5000 metres times).   But it could get very messy, when 1 or 2 outsiders manage to qualify.

    • The Colorado Springs Athletic Center will be closed to foreigners in 2028 to protect Americans at the Olympic Games Michael Phelps disagrees with the decision   The US Olympic Committee will no longer allow foreign swimmers to use the Colorado Springs Athletic Center, but only in 2028, to protect the interests of American swimmers ahead of the Olympics.   CEO Kevin Ring revealed that there is a rule prohibiting foreign swimmers from entering the high-performance center starting in 2028.   This is due to several reports and complaints received by USA Swimming, highlighting how US coaches are working with foreign swimmers to beat Americans on their home turf, at their own Olympics.   In 2029, after the California Olympics, the doors of the athletic center are expected to reopen to foreigners, but with much higher rates than the current ones ($125/night).   Michael Phelps, who had previously criticized the US Swimming Federation along with Ryan Lochte, has also intervened in the matter.   During the World Championships in Singapore: "What are our real goals? I grew up training with all athletes, including foreigners. We've never discriminated against anyone in our team."   Phelps was coached by Bob Bowman (who recently completed a 24-day training camp with his team, composed primarily of foreign swimmers), and therefore defends his mentor and the team's philosophy.   USA Swimming also emphasized that other high-performance sports centers (such as the one in Flagstaff, Arizona) will have no difficulty hosting training camps for foreign national teams who request them.   The issue of foreign swimmers in the US is becoming very sensitive in light of America's dominance, which has significantly weakened in recent years (recall when in Omaha, during the 2008 and 2012 trials, Dave Salo secretly coached Japan's Kitajima, at different times than the American swimmers on his team).   Is the "America first" philosophy a new form of protectionism in swimming too?   Meanwhile, foreign athletes help colleges win and make money in the NCAA system.   Colorado Springs's view, therefore, seems hypocritical, opportunistic, and arrogant.     from an Italian Swimming blog, related to a Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper's journalist
    • Dutch track championships these days: - Tokyo BMX Olympic champion Niek Kimmann at the start of the sprint event, making a rookie mistake in the 200 metres qualifying, by misjudging the finish line: - Lorena Wiebes winning the Keirin, beating European champion Steffie van der Peet. She has no plans to add this number to her international program, but it shows her immense sprinting abilities.
    • The unanimous opinion is that Leerdam will be nominated for the 1000 metres, apparantly even among the coaches.   As I understand it, this means she will take Kok’s 1000 metres spot in the matrix (place 5), Kok will take the Schulting place (7, but of course she’s allready in through the 500 metres) and Schulting will be relegated to Verkerk’s spot, number 15 and last. This will only be a problem if there are 9 skaters before her, which seems unlikely. Currently there are 7 names in the matrix. If the last two races will go to form, at most 2 names will be added (possibly Rijpma-De Jong in the 1500 metres, and less likely In t Hof or Kerkhoff in the 5000.) Only if the last two both qualify, we will get to 10 names, and then Schulting is out. There is a chance that it will remain at 7 names. That would need for Kok to qualify for the 1500 metres, which seems unlikely where it not for the fact that she owns the track record for that distance. In that case expect Rijpma to be added for the team pursuit and Kerkhoff for the mass start.
