Hey, stop using logic and common sense on the Dutch selection process please I have some hope that they'll accept it, but definitely not 100%. Of course as soon as I read something more official I'll post it Griff88 and MHSN 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Weightlifting is not a head-to-head sport. SO C'mon Reject it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makedonas 1,666 Posted June 29, 2021 #619 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Does that mean Greece will qualify in 96kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,305 Posted June 29, 2021 #620 Share Posted June 29, 2021 2 minutes ago, Makedonas said: Does that mean Greece will qualify in 96kg? the ITG (inside the games) article claims they want to keep 96kg quota which makes sense that will be the weakest weight without most of the favorites. but I'm not sure what will happen if they withdraw 96kg quota. (or somebody else gets injured or suspended. that's always possible in this sport) per norm if they remove Colombia. Cuba will move up to top 8. so the available quota should go to the next best weightlifter from Pan-America which is Brazil. but there is something in the qualification rule that says if withdrawal/ban happens after 25 June they won't update the ranking, so I assume in this case they simply give the available quota to the next best athlete which is indeed Greece. thiago_simoes and Makedonas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
