Weightlifting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

there are 2 or maybe 3 unused quotas in this weight of 81kg

1) Colombia's possible suspension

2) Asian quota

3) unused host quota in case they don't pick this weight for the wild card

 

but i can't see how Croatia can get one of them. he is 9th among non-qualified weightlifters and Ireland, Puerto Rico, Slovakia and Denmark above him don't have quotas in other weights which make them priority to take the unused host quota.

 

but never say never. everything is possible with IWF. :d but this one looks a bit unlikely.

The Croatian guy Music 81kg celebrating his 2nd olympics on Instagram. Can this be? 

I looked at the list and he is not in. 

it's impossible for him, even considering the eventual ban of COL, VIE, ROU and the limited quota of ALB and a few other Nations...

 

he has too many lifters (also from Europe) ahead of him in the rankings...

 

unless he gets a wildcard, but I don't think he's eligible for that...

 

 

p.s. by the way, if COL and VIE get banned, ITA would gain a place in the women's -59kg (European quota), since Benteli is apparently out for doping and the German girl would sneak in into the top 8...:yikes:

 

I don't think we've ever had so many people qualified in weightlifting, at least since the limited quota places have been set...

Thus, Ireland is first candidate for this quota?

I believe so. but the rule says the best ranked NOC will have the priority. it doesn't say giving the quota to the best ranked NOC is a sure thing.

He literally just posted a screenshot of the rankings (from the .pdf)...

 

And even though his rank is not colored, he somehow assumed he must have qualified by being ahead of NZ...

 

It's just a dumb mistake. IWF did not inform him (or our NOC) of anything, so there is no grounds for some appeal (that would be crazy, in fact).

Idiot ?

 

I am always surprised how little many athletes know about the rules and qualification criteria.

It reminds me on judo system, that ranking system for continental quota. 

Unnecessary and confusing, IMO.

    • The olympic charter is toilet paper. Russia was suspended because otherwise western sponsor companies would pull out and some big countries would've boycotted Paris. Money is the only thing that matters to IOC.
    • Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.
    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
