Surfing Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

Hey Guys,

 

Yesterday, I watched an interview with Marcos Bukão who will be the contest director of Surfing at Olympic Games. Obviously, he talked about the Olympic competition next year and I decided to bring some news and info for you.

 

The panel of judges will consist of: 

 

Technical Director: Erik Krammer :USA

Contest Director:  Marcos ‘Bukao’ Carneiro Esmanhoto :BRA

Head Judges: Richard Pierce :USA, Glen Elliot :AUS

Judges: Pritamo Ahrendt :AUS, Tory Gilkerson :USA, Masato Kato :JPN, Dan Kosoof :NZL, Luis Pereira :BRA, Nuno Trigo :POR, Bruno Truch :FRA

Priority Judges: Ian Buchanan :NZL, Marcel Miranda :BRA

 

The choice of those individuals was divided half a half between ISA and WSL (The Japanese Judge was a choice made by Japan)

 

The choice of judges by WSL was by indication, ISA chose their judges by performance.

 

The judgment criterias in Olympics, will be the same of WSL and ISA competitions. There's no difference at this point.

 

The competition Format:

 

20 surfers in each gender. First Round - 5 heats with 4 athletes, the best 2 qualifying.

Then, Repechage Round - 2 heats with 5 Athletes, the best 3 qualifying

Then, Round of 16, Quaterfinal, Semifinal, Bronze Medal and Gold Medal.

 

The time of each heat may vary between 25 minutes and 40 minutes. But, only between rounds. CANNOT have time change only on the heats of First Round, for instance.

 

Likely, there will not have Duo Heat. The window of competition is more than enough

 

There will be a gap between each heat, differently of happens in WSL Tour and ISA World Games. During this time, the athletes will be introduced to the audience and they'll have to paddle for the next heat competition. The time may vary depending on beach conditions

 

About the Seed:

 

This will be the seed format for first round: 

Heat 1 Heat 2 Heat 3 Heat 4 Heat 5
#1 #2 #3 #4 #5
#10 #9 #8 #7 #6
#11 #12 #13 #14 #15
#20 #19 #18 #17 #16

(Not necessarily, the first heat will be for the seed number one, but the format is defined)

 

He didn't get clear how the seeds will be determinated for this phase, but he hinted that. The seeds might be determinated by Qualification Hierarchy

 

1-WSL

2-ISA World Surfing Games 2021

3-ISA World Surfing Games 2019

4-Pan American Games

 

So, as an example, the first heat would be between: ítalo Ferreira :BRA, Michel Bourez :FRA, The best surfer from ISA 2021 and Lucca Mesinas :PER

 

After the first round, the surfers will be reseeded, based on their performance.

 

About the Beach:

 

Do not expect big or tubular waves. But, probably we will have a constant swell.

 

Also, I had the opportunity to ask him a question. I asked if ISA and COI already have plans for Stand-Up and/or Longboard to Paris 2024. He said that he does not believe in this addition to Paris, because he thinks is too late to arrange that. But, for Stand-up he sees a matter of time to this modality get inside Olympics, especially after CAS' decision.

 

That's it, I hope that you enjoy!

Just trying to answer a very old question for Surfing Qualification.

 

How to break the tie between surfers who ended in the same position at ISA World Surfing Games 2019. In the case of a provisional qualified athlete from this competition, also qualifies by ISA World Surfing Games 2021.

 

So, on the old qualification system, from 2019, there's no mention of that. But, on the new one, ISA has added a method to break this tie. "In the event there is a tie in the ranking when determining the highest placed eligible athlete, the athlete with the highest heat-score total from their final heat in the respective event will obtain the quota place." 

 

And, if we consider also this point about reallocation of unused quotas: "If the athlete qualified through ISA Continental Qualifying Event – 2019 ISA World Surfing Games and/or Pan American Games 2019, the quota place will be reallocated to next highest ranked athlete in the respective event provided the athletes are within the ISA quality control ranking and respecting the maximum quota places per NOC as specified under Section B above. If no available athlete from the continents finish within the ISA quality control ranking, the place will be allocated to the next best ranked athlete, not yet qualified, regardless of the continent."

 

So... ISA World Games 2021 will prevail over ISA 2019 and Panamerican Games, the places conquered by the surfers on both competitions will be reallocated if they qualify through ISA 2021.

 

In this case, if I understood all these points correctly. If all surfers qualified by ISA 2019, also qualify in 2021, the new quotas from this event go to:

 

Men's

 

:POR Frederico Morais ----------> There's a tie between Leon Glatzer   :GER and Angelo Bonomelli :ITA The highest score is from Glatzer :GER

:JPN Shun Murakami ----------> If any Japanese surfer qualify by ISA 2021, apart of Kanoa Igarashi who is already qualified by WSL, the quota goes to Rio Waida :INA 

:MAR Ramzi Boukhiam ----------> Michael February   :RSA (Only if any other surfer from RSA do NOT qualify through ISA 2021, apart of Jordy Smith who is already qualified by WSL) @dcro Alerted me to SASCOC's criteria, the surfers need to be among TOP 14 in the World, and that's not the case for February. So, if they don't accept this quota, then it goes to the best ranked surfer not yet qualified, regardless the continent. In that case, we need to wait for the results from ISA 2021 to check it out, but, again, Rio Waida :INA is the first to get it.

:NZL Billy Stairmand ----------> This quota stays with New Zeland, but now in   :NZL Kehu Butler's hands

 

Women's

 

:JPN Shino Matsuda ----------> This quota stays with Japan , :JPN Mahina Maeda

:NZL Ella Williams ----------> There isn't an eligible surfer from Oceania on TOP 30, Ella qualified on 29th position, so the best ranked athlete not yet qualified is :PER Sofia Mulanovich

:RSA Bianca Buitendag ----------> Sarah Baum   :RSA But, she is in the same situation of February. She finished the competion on the 21st. So, the first to get it is, again, :PER Sofia Mulanovich.

:ISR Anat Lelior ----------> Again, there's a tie between   :ESP Nadia Erostarbe and :NED Eveline Hooft. The highest score is from Hooft :NED

    • Here's the Official Olympics Page - as you can see, both  &  are on the TBC list   Where to Watch the Olympic Games Live | Milano Cortina 2026
    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 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.
