Thank you what a great job!!! I am curious about Gerrasimienko, he is so high on ranking could not start and gave quota for second KAZ or IRI. Player must have ITTF ranking points to be there in your opinion?

No, athletes with no ranking can compete in the continental qualifiers.

I cannot find any confirmation by this or countries eligible to fight in each zone.

 

Unless things have recently changed the groupings for each zone is as follows.

East Asia

Southeast Asia

South Asia

West Asia

Middle Asia

Nations already qualified to the team event are not eligible for singles quotas. That means the women's East Asia quota is literally between North Korea and Mongolia while the men adds Hong Kong to the mix. Additionally, Thailand's women cannot compete nor can India in either gender.

That's quite odd. I'd argue New Zealand's woman is better than their man. If they were going to keep one quota it would have been her.

In Asia we have 6 quotas, it will be 6 Zones (in calendar I see 4 - South East Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia)

or they will use ranking for one or two quotas

There should be an East Asian qualifier. As for the last quota, I think like Europe they are planning to allocated it towards the rankings, but they may host another tournament.

Quite impressed that Canada is one of three nations which will send a full team.

Would be interesting to have a ranking of nations with the most athletes under the A standard. I was quite surprised to see that Japan has clearly more athletes under the A standard than GB.

Yeah, despite not completely translating into medals, Japan has quite a bit of depth in swimming. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a clear third behind the United States and Australia in such a list.

Not really as the group would've had more time to gel as a team compared to  as they'd have played an entire 3 week tournament together. Also a week's rest is a long time in football. 

It's a double edge sword. Sure they may get time together and a week rest, but that's after playing six games in 15-17 days with the top players being fully involved in at least the final three games, plus there's a risk of injuries during that time.

The tournament has started a few minutes ago, if anyone is interested.

I just realized that the 4th place team will play their play-off game against only one week later. That's a bit unfair...

could end up in the same group

Is there any mathematical chance that other countries get the quota?

I don't think so. I think there is only one more event which gives points before the deadline and Hungary has over 200 point lead over the next nation.

 2024 Canadian Swimming Open - Toronto (CAN)

April 10th - April 13th 2024

 

Meet Results

 

 

The following new OQTs were achieved

 

Men's 50m Freestyle

 Jere Hribar

 

Women's 100m Backstroke

 Maggie Mac Neil

 Summer McIntosh

 

Women's 100m Butterfly

 Summer McIntosh

I believe that makes 9/14 individual events McIntosh has reached the OQT in.

She could easily make the 1500m freestyle if she ever decides to compete in it, but I doubt she will. She's more realistically to get the 100m freestyle or maybe 200m breaststroke if she decides she wants to practice those strokes again.

Summer McIntosh 2:08.19 in the women’s 200m individual medley!

Would have won a medal at the last Olympics and each World Championships since 2020.

just asking myself why in this competition are there people that already achieved the qualification (and therefore can't get any other quota place) and/or why tare there those mixed team events that don't award any quota place?

 

nor those events award points for the OQR/WR, therefore are absolutely useless for those who are not in the hunt for a quota place and actually only make a lot of confusion 

I was confused too. I swear I remember reading in the qualification document that the event was only open to non-qualified and eligible athletes, but reading it again it wasn't there.

Maybe I misremembered

And this one is a gripe which can be applied to other sports as well. The Individual neutral Athletes are baisically a team, no matter how hard people try to spin it in neutrality. They even have their own flag, so surely these limits on athletes participation should apply to them, but they don’t.

I see them as two teams competing under the same name. It's no different than if multiple suspended nations competed under the Olympic flag.

It happened with Belgium at a previous games.

A formalization of the rules is really needed.

Montenegro miss OG?

They need to beat Slovenia tomorrow. They're underdogs, but still have a chance.

Did you base that off of the official website? Because there seems to be a mistake there. This equals 56 points for the Netherlands, not 55 as shown on the website:

Yeah, I got it from the website.

I'd rather have the two best teams meet in the final so hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Yes type colon and then the three letter IOC code.

For example, when you remove the space between ": HUN" you get

do we know the list of Olympic qualifiers?

We'll know at the end of the month.

So assuming  get the world ranking quotas, currently 9 men and 11 women single quotas will be available through the World Rankings.

Of course, this may increase during the continental single qualifiers.

 v  in the final for KO4

 v  in the final for KO3

I think the loser will still qualify to the Olympics via the rankings so the stakes aren't as high IMO

KO4 is wide open now. I guess Austria is the favourite, but I wouldn't be surprised if any of them win.
