Recommended Posts

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

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

 

:USA 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.

 

:BRA 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.

 

:AUS 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.

 

:FRA 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. :AUS Stephanie Gilmore
  2. :USA Caroline Marks
  3. :USA Courtney Conlogue
  4. :AUS Sally Fitzgibbons
  5. :CRC Brisa Hennessy
  6. :BRA Tatiana Weston-Webb
  7. :FRA Johanne Defay
  8. :BRA Silvana Lima

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

 

:USA 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.


:AUS 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.

 

actually, Fioravanti had the same result as Bourez in Bali...so also the gap between them remained the same...

 

unfortunately for Italy, then Fioravanti injured himself yesterday in Western Australia @ the Margaret River Pro and left our Country basically without representation at the top level :cry: (even if one of our 3 "bought" female surfers could make a miracle at next year's ISA World Champs and still put the Italian Flag among the Tokyo participants, although I think it's gonna be really improbable)...

I don't know how severe this injury is in surfing terms and if it leaves Fioravanti's qualification chances still on the table at the same ISA Worlds from next year...:mumble:

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.

 

even if I read about many surfers switching Nationality, right now, I don't see any true big name trying to go for a different Nation than their usual...

among the WSL men and women, the only one who could do it (Nikki Van Dijk could easily start for the Netherlands), has not done it...

and I don't see any Brazilian trying to go for Portugal, too...

among the lower levels of competition, the only thing I know is that Italy has enrolled 3 girls with clear Italian heritage but born and raised abroad (veteran Claire Bevilacqua from AUS; Giada Legati who's half Italian, half French and lives in Bali; Emily Gussoni from CRC)...

I think Tatiana Weston-Webb choose to compete for her mother's country of Brazil over America, where she had lived since she was a baby, and her father's country of Great Britain.

But that is slightly different.

Yes, but it's quite a long time that Tatiana is representing Brazil in the WSL...so, I didn't count her among those looking for a new passport just to make it for the Tokyo Olympics...

more than anything, I expected some Spanish-speaking Central and South Americans trying to go for Spain, but at the moment it doesn't look the case (and I think Italian shopping is also over)...

His next big chance would be in September, at the World Surf Games. If he is healthy enough then his biggest competition for the European quota will come from Portugal.

he should be back in full shape by that time...in the end, he only dislocated his shoulder (the problem is that he was just regaining his confidence from the same kind of injury to the same shoulder that happened about 3 months ago)...

Big news: world number one :USA (HAW) John John Florence is out for the rest of the year with a torn ACL. This means he is extremely unlikely to qualify for the Olympics since the US selection is based on results from this year.

 

The door is now open for Kelly Slater, Connor Coffin or Seth Moniz to grab the second spot on the US team.

Kelly Slater would be the people’s choice here, so hopeful he’s able to win the quota.

Kelly Slater competing in the Olympics would be extremely special. He’s a big reason the sport even made it to the Olympics in the first place.

After 5/11 events for the men and 5/10 events for the women, 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. :USA (HAW) John John Florence
  2. :USA Kolohe Andino
  3. :BRA Filipe Toledo
  4. :RSA Jordy Smith
  5. :JPN  Kanoa Igarashi
  6. :BRA Italo Ferreira
  7. :AUS Ryan Callinan
  8. :AUS Julian Wilson
  9. :FRA Michel Bourez
  10. :FRA Jérémy Florès

 

As far as International qualification goes the biggest development is that :ITA Leonardo Fioravanti is injured, which means that :NZL Ricardo Christie is now the closest challenger to France's second quota. However he has not finished higher than 17th in any competition this season, which makes his chances very low. In practice the biggest threat to France is injury replacement :POR Frederico Morais, who scored a third place in Rio. He is very far behind Florès, having only competed in two events this season, but he has at least showed the potential to get some big results.

 

:USA American selection battle:

  1. (HAW) John John Florence - 32,160 points
  2. Kolohe Andino - 27,760 points
  3. Kelly Slater - 17,735 points
  4. Conner Coffin - 16,035 points
  5. (HAW) Seth Moniz - 14,610 points
  6. Griffin Colapinto - 7,575 points
  7. (HAW) Sebastian Zietz - 6,510 points
  8. (HAW) Ezekiel Lau - 6,510 points

The American selection battle has been completely shaken up by the news that world number one John John Florence is out for the year with a torn ACL. This means he will finish the year on 33,220 points (taking into account that injured competitors get last place points for every events and that only the best nine results count). This means that Kelly Slater or Connor Coffin will overhaul him if they can maintain good results. Slater, widely considered the GOAT of the sport, would be 48 in Tokyo.

 

:BRA Brazilian selection battle:

  1. Filipe Toledo - 27,195 points
  2. Italo Ferreira  22,150 points
  3. Gabriel Medina - 16,895 points
  4. Michael Rogrigues - 13,395 points
  5. Deivid Silva - 10,630 points
  6. Wilian Cardoso - 10,630 points
  7. Caio Ibelli - 10,340 points
  8. Yago Dora - 9,565 points
  9. Peterson Crisanto - 9,565 points
  10. Jesse Mendes - 9,565 points
  11. Jadson Andre - 5,585 points
  12. Adriano de Souza - 2,390 points

Filipe Toledo takes a fairly commanding lead thanks to his win in Rio. Ferreira and Medina have maintained the same distance between each other since the last update.

 

:AUS Australian selection battle:

  1. Julian Wilson - 16,810  points
  2. Ryan Callinan - 16,810  points
  3. Wade Carmichael - 14,405  points
  4. Owen Wright - 12,620  points
  5. Jack Freestone - 8,640 points
  6. Adrian Buchan - 7,935  points
  7. Mikey Wright - 6,510  points
  8. Soli Bailey - 5,585 points

Wilson jumps from seventh to second in the Australian selection battle thanks to a third place in Margaret River and a fifth place in Rio. Carmichael falls out of Olympic qualification.

 

:FRA French selection battle:

  1. Michel Bourez - 14,610 points
  2. Jérémy Florès  14,045 points
  3. Joan Duru - 9,565 points

Bourez takes the lead over Florès while Duru isn't able to make up ground over the top two.

 

Women

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

Lima slightly increases the gap over :NZL Paige Hareb who has still not managed to reach a quarter-final this season

 

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

  1. (HAW) Carissa Moore 31,175 points
  2. Courtney Conlogue - 26,845  points
  3. Caroline Marks - 26,050 points
  4. Lakey Peterson -  26,050 points
  5. (HAW) Malia Manuel  21,715 points
  6. (HAW) Coco Ho - 15,185

Carissa Moore has established herself as the clear favourite with a third place in Margaret River and a second place in Rio. Lakey Peterson has introduced herself as a contender thanks to her win in Margaret River, in the process becoming the third American to win on tour this season. The American selection battle on the women's side remains the most interesting and high calibre of the lot.


:AUS Australian selection battle:

  1. Sally Fitzgibbons -  32,580 points
  2. Stephanie Gilmore - 30,320 points
  3. Bronte Macaulay - 15,185 points
  4. Nikki Van Dijk - 14,960 points
  5. Kelly Andrew - 13.395 points
  6. Macy Callaghan - 9,920 points
  7. Tyler Wright - 5,225 points

Gilmore and Fitzgibbons continue to increase their lead over the rest of the field. At this point it is hard to imagine them failing to qualify baring injury.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
