Something like that should be recorded by every IF. But maybe we'll do it - do you know better experts in qualification systems than Totallympians?

 

[NearPup 3,067]

After 1/11 events, the following athletes are provisionally in a qualifying position from the World Surf League. Note: athletes from Hawaii are marked with (HAW) and athletes from French Polynesia with (PYF) as they compete  separately in Surfing.

 

Men

1.  Itali Ferreira
2.  Kolohe Andino
3.  Jordy Smith
4.  (HAW) John John Florence
5.  Gabriel Medina
6.  Wade Carmichael
7.  Owen Wright
8.  (PYF) Michel Bourez
9.  Kanoa Igarashi
10.  Jérémy Florès

The countries who will qualify from the WSL are already almost predetermined. Only  Leonardo Fioravanti can change the status quo, but he appears to be one of the weaker athlete on tour. The WSL is very, very heavy on Australians, Americans and Brazilians and the selection battles between those athletes will be the real story.

 

Women

1.  Caroline Marks
2.  (HAW) Carissa Moore
3.  Sally Fitzgibbons
4.  Stephanie Gilmore
5.  Tatiana Weston-Webb
6.  Johanne Defay
7.  Brisa Hennessy
8.  Paige Hareb

As far as country quotas go, the only question is whether  can get a second quota and, if so, which of ,  or  will qualify. Silvana Lima, the second Brazilian, is injured but should be able to qualify if she regains her form.

The only other qualification battle worth watching is the bloodbath that will be the American qualification process: they have 7 athletes in the top 12.

Yeah, sadly qualification through the World Surf League is more of an intra-nation competition than an inter-nation competition

[NearPup 3,067]

After 2/11 events, the following athletes are provisionally in a qualifying position from the World Surf League. Note: athletes from Hawaii are marked with (HAW) as they compete  separately in Surfing. I am only including athletes that are qualified to compete on the tour in the selection battle (theoretically an athlete that isn't on tour could qualify for enough events to be selected, but this is unlikely).

1.  (HAW) John John Florence
2.  Italo Ferreira
3.  Jordy Smith
4.  Filipe Toledo
5.  Kolohe Andino
6.  Ryan Callinan
7.  Owen Wright
8.  Kanoa Igarashi
9.  Michel Bourez
10.  Jérémy Florès

The first athlete not qualified is  Ricardo Christie, followed by  Leonardo Fioravanti.

After 3/11 events, the following athletes are provisionally in a qualifying position from the World Surf League. Note: athletes from Hawaii are marked with (HAW) as they compete  separately in Surfing. I am only including athletes that are qualified to compete on the tour in the selection battle (theoretically an athlete that isn't on tour could qualify for enough events to be selected, but this is unlikely).

 

Men

1.  (HAW) John John Florence
2.   Kanoa Igarashi
3.  Italo Ferreira
4.  Filipe Toledo
5.  Kolohe Andino
6.  Jordy Smith
7.  Jérémy Florès
8.  Wade Carmichael
9.  Ryan Callinan
10.  Michel Bourez

Michel Bourez had a good result in Bali, which allowed him to increase his gap over  Leonardo Fioravanti.

 

 American selection battle:

1. (HAW) John John Florence - 17,415 points
2. Kolohe Andino - 13,875 points
3. Conner Coffin - 11,385 points
4. Kelly Slater - 11,095 points
5. (HAW) Seth Moniz - 9,395 points
6. (HAW) Ezekiel Lau - 2,925 points
7. Griffin Colapinto - 2,925 points
8. (HAW) Sebastian Zietz - 1,860 points

A semi-final appearance has propelled 47 year old Kelly Slater, the greatest contest surfer in history and a big influence in getting Surfing in the Olympics, into contention for a spot on the American team.

 

 Brazilian selection battle:

1. Italo Ferreira - 16,075 points
2. Filipe Toledo - 15,865 points
3. Gabriel Medina - 10,820 points
4. Michael Rogrigues - 8,745 points
5. Wilian Cardoso - 7,970 points
6. Yago Dora - 5,980 points
7. Peterson Crisanto - 5,980 points
8. Deivid Silva - 5,980 points
9. Jesse Mendes - 4,915 points
10. Jadson Andre - 2,925 points
11. Adriano de Souza - 795 points

Michael Rogrigues put himself in the conversation for a potential Olympic spot with a semi-final finish in Bali.

 

 Australian selection battle:

1. Wade Carmichael - 10,820 points
2. Ryan Callinan - 10,735 points
3. Owen Wright - 7,970 points
4. Adrian Buchan - 7,405 points
5. Mikey Wright - 5,980 points
6. Julian Wilson - 5,980 points
7. Jack Freestone - 5,980 points
8. Soli Bailey - 2,925 points

Carmichael moves up two spots to take the lead of the Australian battle.

 

 French selection battle:

1. Jérémy Florès - 12,450 points
2. Michel Bourez - 7,970 points
3. Joan Duru - 4,915 points

Florès takes a commanding lead over Bourez and Duru thanks to a runners-up finish in Bali.

 

Women

1.  Stephanie Gilmore
2.  Caroline Marks
3.  Courtney Conlogue
4.  Sally Fitzgibbons
5.  Brisa Hennessy
6.  Tatiana Weston-Webb
7.  Johanne Defay
8.  Silvana Lima

Lima comes back from injury and competes for the first time this season, immediately overtaking  Paige Hareb for the last automatic qualification spot.

 

 American selection battle (where the real action is on the women's side, the US has 7 of the top 12):

• Caroline Marks - 18,695 points
• Courtney Conlogue - 17,355 points
• (HAW) Carissa Moore - 17,290 points
• (HAW) Malia Manuel - 16,495 points
• Lakey Peterson - 11,305
• (HAW) Coco Ho - 9,965

The American selection has developed into an extremely close four way race between Marks, Conlogue, Moore and Manuel. They are all basically within one round win of each other at the moment.

 Australian selection battle:

1. Stephanie Gilmore - 19,490 points
2. Sally Fitzgibbons - 16,495 points
3. Nikki Van Dijk - 11,305 points
4. Bronte Macaulay - 9,965 points
5. Macy Callaghan - 6,265 points
6. Tyler Wright - 3,135 points

Van Dijk finished third in Bali, but it didn't help her get a place in Tokyo as Gilmore and Fitzgibbons finished 1-2.

[Gianlu33 4,600]

After the injury Fioravanti lost all his chances, at last for what concerne the qualification via ranking

 

[Dragon 1,846]

What might be interesting is to work out how many of the surfers from the big nations will try to find qualifications for other countries between now and Tokyo.
