Sport Climbing Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[phelps 7,628]

Ondra needs to start at least in 1 speed event to make the combined ranking...

 

and even if he doesn't make any point in that event, he has so many from Lead and Boulder that it won't be a problem for him to qualify to the OQT (but it remains to be seen if he wants to fly to Far East in October, as normally he's used to skip those competitions...

 

just to make an example: Alex Megos is 8th in the Overall World Cup Ranking with the following Speed results: 109th at the 2018 World Champs, then 84th, 81st, 62nd, 83rd in this season's world cup events and 75th a few days ago at this year's Worlds...

and he does have only 2 medals (1x silver, 1x bronze) + 2 podium places in all Lead and Boulder events (actually, he also has a win from last year, too...but it's going to be discarded once the next ranking will be published, as it's from late July 2018)...

Is there a limit to the number of athletes per NOC that can go to the OQT?  I cannot see anything in the Qualification System that sets a limit other than the top 20 from the Combined World Cup ranking (excl those already qualified at the Worlds).  I presume that countries that already have a maximum of two athletes qualified would not send anyone to the OQT (i.e. Japan), but could others, like Slovenia, send more than one even though they already have one place secured?

Answered my own question as it is a limit of two per NOC that take part in the Qualifier - https://ifsc-egw.wavecdn.net/Editors/2019/i19_W2.pdf.  There does not appear to be a different limit for those countries that have already obtained one place, eg Slovenia.

In the qualifier there will be a qualification phase and a final. The question is whether the final will be of 8 or 10 climbers?

according to rules of climbing federation would be 8 (pages 60 to 64) https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/images/World_Competitions/IFSC-Rules_2019_v192_PUBLIC.pdf

 According to the web of the event would be 6 finalists in the combined event  https://www.ffme.fr/escalade/page/tournoi-de-qualification-olympique.html

If it’s a dry run of the Olympic format, there should only be six finalists. The World Championships format would be 8 finalists. I’d prefer 8, just to keep the competition interesting throughout.

Normally federations try to close the qualification tournaments format as close to the Olympic one as possible (looking at the example of modern pentathlon). So this should be six finalists with all of them qualifying (with the NOC limits saved) and four best non-qualified to the final (or more if the NOC limit applies to any finalist).

[Dunadan 1,103]

8 finalists, 6 quota places for the Olympics.

 

6 finalists was the old format, now there are 8 so they can have a speed event with quarter/semi/finals.

and the starters for the qualifier in Toulouse: https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar#!type=starters&comp=8322

So apparently Japan is allowed to send climbers even if they can't qualify
