  1. Thanks Rafa for this - you are correct. I was a bit hasty in jumping to conclusions.
  2. If I read the Qualification document correctly, could not enter anyone into the European Qualification Tournament, because they managed to get two Men (and two Women) through the Ranking process - I understand and get that. AIN (aka Russia) only qualified 1 Man through the Ranking/Grand Slam (Larin), so could enter athletes into the Tournament, and as a result have successfully qualified another two Men (and two Women). So they end up with 3 Men qualified????
  3. I know that Open Water 10km qualifiers can swim in the 800m/1500m Swimming (subject to country NOC quotas to being exceeded). I thought it also worked the other way, i.e. 800m/1500m swimmers can take part in Open Water, but I cannot find anything to back my imagination up. Does anyone else think this is the case, or have I just got that wrong?
  4. Thanks Rafa - helpful analysis. Of course, not finishing is what got GB into this situation in the first place.
  5. The GB Team seem to be focused on the Milton round as well - comments from Ethan Vernon on BBC Sport site after Gold at the Euros: "It is one of the last races we will do against the guys here, so it is nice to take a good time and take some confidence going into Paris," Vernon said. "A few of us are going off onto the road now with our teams, so we are not going to be back together for a few months. "It was nice to have a high like that before we go off and do our own things for a bit, then come back for the last Nations Cup... I think it will get better going into Paris." Seems remarkably confident, almost cocky, that they are as good as qualified even before the Nations Cup starts. I have a bad feeling about this....
  6. Don’t understand the latest Olympic Rankings on the UCI site - apparently as at 16/1/24, but no points from last week’s Euros? Anyone else think this is wrong, or just me? I am as curious as the others above to see how the actual results amend the GB position, but seems they have dropped two places to 13th.
  7. Rule 6.4 in this document on WT site confirms the Olympic spot only goes to Grand Slam series winner if they have not already qualified through ranking - no reallocation from Grand Slam 2nd, etc. http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/viewer_pdf/external/pdfjs-2.1.266-dist/web/viewer.html?file=http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/att_file/documents/WT-Standing-Procedures-For-Grand-Slam-Champions-Series(01162023).pdf
  8. The latest rankings at 17 Oct on the UCI website, for some reason, do not include the World Cup Freestyle event in China I think. Not sure why.
  9. How does the OQS work with this sport? There is no direct qualification from the OQS, only from the OWSR; there is nothing in the World Skate Regulations that refers to the ranking points scale for these events (are they 'World Championships' or Pro Tour?); will other events in 2024 after the World Champs also qualify for ranking points?
  10. Why does it take so long for the IJF to update their Olympic Tracker? The World Ranking List is up to date, so it cannot be that hard can it?
  11. Just dropped - https://www.fih.hockey/news/paris-2024-continental-quotas-for-olympic-qualifiers-revealed Women’s Olympic Qualifiers Africa: 0 Asia: 4 Europe: 8 Oceania: 1 Pan America: 3 Men’s Olympic Qualifiers Africa: 1 Asia: 5 Europe: 7 Oceania: 1 Pan America: 2 Must mean that all 8 qualifiers who have already made the EuroHockey finals in Germany in August go through automatically, unless they win or they are Wales/Scotland, with additional qualifiers (2 Women's and Men's teams) to be found on top.
  12. Has anyone seen the Continental Quotas for the Qualification Tournaments that FIH are supposed to confirm by 1 Feb 2023 (based on end Jan rankings)?
  13. I see new Qualifying Document uploaded. https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/Olympic-Games/Paris-2024/Paris2024-QS-FINA-ArtisticSwimming.pdf?_ga=2.189237411.920809123.1675179215-349632716.1665779537 I think this clarifies that European NOC's can only qualify at the 2024 World Aquatic Games, even if France chooses not to participate, so the European Qualifier is redundant.
  14. Trying to work out which of the FIG World Cup events listed on their site for 2023 qualify toward Criteria 2 for Trampoline. The document says there will be 5 events spread across 2023/24, and I can find 2 listed in 2024 on the FIG Calendar. There are 3 in 2023 that call themselves "FIG World Cup 2023", for Varna, Santarem and Coimbra, but there are another 2 also with a similar label: World Cup 2023 AGF Trophy - Baku FIG TRA World CUP - Palm Beach Do these count as well, or instead of? Cannot find any other source to give me clarity and I would appreciate any pointers from anyone who knows more.
  15. Updated Qualifying Document uploaded to IOC site to confirm 17 October 2023 is end of the qualifying period (previously "XX October")
