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.

You probably have no idea how disgusting you sound. It doesn't change the fact that, indeed, you are hateful and this comment is outrageous.

And you deserve to be banned. If you think it's okay to call a woman "he", you're absolutely no different from those nazi and fascist scum who can't respect those who are different from you. Do you

It's two months and half to Olympics, I believe that IWF will make at least two more changes before deadline, or maybe even after...

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.
