Weightlifting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

Does anyone here know what's actually going on with the qualification system of this sport? :d

 

I am asking this because the Hungarian coaches claimed that Veronika Mitykó needs a Top14 placement at the ECh in 71kg to qualify for Tokyo in 76kg. She finished 9th today. Is that really enough? I find this hard to believe, but who knows what's the deal here at this point with so many countries having reduced quotas and :PRK boycotting the Games.

Is he paid for doing the coach or is a hobby? He doesn't know anything on how the ranking works, the final placement doesn't matter, the important thing is the total kg lifted, and there is no chance for Veronyka to qualify. She has a lot of European lifters ahead of her.

More like the people working at the Hungarian Federation are simply clueless, which doesn't surprise me given the state of the sport here.

with results from the Pan-American Championships , I calculated the possible new ranking for 61kg. I tried to be accurate but if you see a mistake, let me know.

I removed athletes with just 4 events, because they can't reach max 6 with just 1 event left in Colombia

 

no = didn't participate in the continental champs

 

1. :CHN Li - 4448

?. :INA Irawan - 4162 (no)

-. :CHN Qin - 3999 (no) (2nd CHN)

-. :VIE Thach - 3765 (VIE with 3 doping cases)

2. :COL Mosquera - 3762 (COL with 3 doping cases)

3. :JPN Itokazu - 3534

4. :GEO Mishvelidze - 3376

-. :BLR Laptseu - 3356 (NOC limited to 1)

5. :BUL Grozdev - 3323 (NOC limited to 2)

6. :GER Brandhuber - 3284 (also eligible for 67)

-. :COL Serna - 3046 (no) (2nd COL)

7. :TUR Hardel - 3028 (NOC limited to 2)

8. :KAZ Son - 3014 (NOC limited to 1)

9. :TPE Kao - 3001

10. :DOM Garcia - 2992

11. :PNG Baru - 2976 (Oceania)

-. :GER Mau - 2976 (2nd GER)

12. :KSA Al Saleem - 2919

13. :TKM Mirzayev - 2848

14. :CUB Calderon - 2817

-. :ECU Zurita - 2816 (no)

15. :ITA Ruiu - 2797

-. :ITA Scarantino - 2796 (no) (2nd ITA)

-. :CUB Onate - 2725 (no) (2nd CUB)

-. :MEX Vazquez - 2702 (no)

16. :ESP Brachi - 2678

 

* Colombia can be banned from the Olympics, since they have 3 doping cases inside the qualification zone but none of them are sanctioned yet so it seems they have a chance to survive. otherwise they wouldn't host a qualification event.

 

* I'm sure BLR is not going to pick Laptseu, but I'm not sure about BUL, KAZ and TUR, don't know how good they are in other weights. for Kazakhstan it will be between this guy or Bersanov (109kg) I believe Son will go to Tokyo

 

* Baru from PNG can still make it to top 8 and to help Oceania qualify another weightlifter but interestingly there is nobody else from Oceania in the ranking in this weight !!

 

* the best athlete from Africa right now is from Madagascar and he can't make it to top 8.

 

==========

so considering everything, these guys have a better chance to qualify

:CHN:COL:JPN:GEO:BUL:GER:TUR:KAZ == :TPE:DOM:PNG:ITA:MAD

 

there are so many variables. Germany can drop Brandhuber for Mau who had a better result in the Euro, Colombia can be banned, Indonesia can still qualify by participating in the last event, Bulgaria and Turkey may try different weights, and some weightlifters still can improve their ranking points in the Colombia event. for example TPE is too close to KAZ for the Asian spot. and the Saudi guy was on fire in Asia, he can do that too.

most probably but still not completely. for example if that Indonesian guy participates in the last event in Colombia and if Turkey decide to use this quota (I think both of them are unlikely) Turkey will be out of top 8 and will take the European quota.

 

on other hand if Colombia gets disqualified and BUL, KAZ TUR decide to send athletes in other weights both German guys may end up in top 8.

 

but yes his fate probably will be decided by the Germans. still we will have a better picture about the whole thing when I finish with this ranking for all 7 weights. some countries may have more than 4 weightlifters inside the qualification zone.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
