Weightlifting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[MHSN 3,632]

we still don't have the start list for the event in Colombia, but I assume we won't see lots of Oceania athletes there, and since there will be no more event for Oceania athletes, we probably can guess who is going to qualify.

 

none of these guys is registered for the World Juniors. but still nothing is final, for example if Baru just participates at the Colombia event at 67kg he can qualify for the Olympics in that weight because of his 61kg points !

 

Wakeling is also leading the ranking in both 73 and 81 but he never really participated at 81kg. just registered. so I believe he will participate at 73kg.

 

if nobody from Oceania participates in Colombia event, these guys are going to qualify

61kg: Baru

67kg: Ioane

73kg: Wakeling

81kg: McTaggart

96kg: D. Opeloge

109kg: Lydement

+109kg: Liti

* weightlifters in bold are 100% safe to qualify (unless their NOC reject the quota)

 

on paper only 61kg and +109kg can qualify in top 8 (very unlikely though) in that case the next athlete from Oceania qualifies.

That's the Marshall Islands flag, the flag for Nauru is

[MHSN 3,632]

and for women

 

if Toua (49kg) finishes in top 8 which is possible. there is nobody else from Oceania eligible to qualify. there is a girl from Guam but with only 2 events so far she can't complete her 4 events. unless of those 55kg girls cut weight and just participate in Colombia event at 49kg.

 

if nobody from Oceania participates in Colombia event, these guys are going to qualify

 

Yamasaki is leading in two weights but her recent results are at 55kg.

 

49kg: Toua

55kg: Yamasaki

59kg: Wini

64kg: Elliott

76kg: Signal

87kg: Andrews-Nahu

+87kg: Stowers and Hubbard

 

let's see if NZL accepts all these quotas. Hubbard for sure but what about the rest !?

Thanks for the news @MHSN, I hope that Adamus will make it. What about Michalski after those changes in qualification system, is he still safe to be qualified?

Yes I think he is, he is currently 9th. in fact 8th because two Russians are above him. (and we know at least China will be removed from this weight, probably more)

 

on paper it's still possible if bunch of guys lift extraordinary weights in Colombia and surpass him but in reality that's almost impossible. I can say he is 100% safe.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Mostly he won't go to tokyo with this change. His best lift this year was 410kg and he wanted to do 425kg at Tokyo

[MHSN 3,632]

startlist for the Colombia event

https://www.iwf.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2021/05/START_BOOK_VERIFICACIÓN_FINAL.pdf

 

I have to say this list is NOT final, for example Iran has only one weightlifter traveling to Colombia while 4 are listed here.

 

there is NOBODY from Oceania in the list. so those guys I listed before are qualified for Tokyo if they don't reject the quota

[MHSN 3,632]

considering the Colombia event and World Juniors start list. by my count these athletes are 100% qualified.

 

61kg:

Irawan

Mishvelidze

Baru (Oceania)

 

67kg:

Ergashev

Zanni

Matam

Munoz (Pan-America)

Ioane (Oceania)

 

73kg:

Cummings

Mayora

Calja

Ben Hnia

Wakeling (Oceania)

 

81kg:

Pizzolato

Bonnat

Rejepov

Maurus

Suharevs

Muller

Mata (Europe)

McTaggart (Oceania)

 

96kg:

El-Bakh

Pliesnoi

Santavy

Opeloge (Oceania)

 

109kg:

Djuraev

Chumak

Michalski

Plesnieks (at least Europe)

Kitts (Pan America)

Lydement (Oceania)

 

+109kg:

Talakhadze

Davoudi

Reis

Assad

Toychyyev

Bidani

Wilkes (Pan America)

Liti (Oceania)

 

-------------------

 

has to pick 4 from 61, 67, 73, 81, 96 and 109 (no chance for 109)

has to pick 2 from 96, 109 and +109 (sure thing). they want 96 but not this guy currently in top 8.

has to pick 2 from 61, 73, 109 (and maybe 81)

may qualify in 6 weights (all except 81) 61, 73 and 96 are more likely to qualify

still alive in all 7 weights! 61, 67 and 73 are almost guaranteed. 96 is more likely to get the last one

has to pick 1 from 109 and +109. they have guys high in ranking in other weights too but no chance for them

has to pick 1 from 61, 96, 109 and +109. (probably no chance for 61)

has to pick 1 from 73, 96, 109 and +109. most likely 109

has to pick 2 and I assumed that will be 67 and 109 since both of them are medal contender

[MHSN 3,632]

Colombia event didn't make a change in the ranking for 61kg. we had two weightlifters here trying to improve their rankings (from CUB and ESP) but they both failed.

 

from what I saw the African Championships won't make a difference and the only weightlifter in the World Juniors who can make a change is Ruiu (ITA).

 

still it's impossible to make a list of qualified weightlifters, so many variables. but these guys are 100% safe

 

Irawan (Top 8)

Mishvelidze (Top 8)

Baru (Oceania)

Garcia (Pan America)

Andriantsitohaina (Africa)

 

I believe these guys will be selected as well

Li

Itokazu

 

the remaining 6 quotas will be between these countries

 

@Federer91 do you have any idea about two Bulgarian weightlifters in Tokyo ? I see 3 or maybe 4 guys eligible to qualify. Grozdev (61), Andreev (67), Hristov (109) and maybe Beytula (73) ?

Dude, the selection is made exclusively from each NOC (using that criteria of max 4 per NOC and regarding doping violation) or there is another criteria?
