Starting from what date athletes will be able to earn points for the qualification ranking?

June 12th 2023, assuming the cut-off dates don't change.

They have also changed the Davis Cup/Billie Jean Cup requirements, now they only need to participate twice (or have a good reason why not) to be eligible.

Also no European/Oceania quota (one went to the host and the other went to the Grand Slam/Olympic medalist quota).

Also for the remaining continental quotas the ranking limit has been increased to 400 (was 300 for 2020).

Good luck, She makes a mistake to stay 57kg category with Jessica Klimkait ... 

She's quite capable in defeating Klimkait on any given day. Going up or down a weightclass isn't easy either plus the -63kg also has a great athlete while the -52kg has her sister

Both events will be Olympic events so that's good to hear.

Sometimes all it takes is one fan of the sport to be in the broadcasting management team.

Good thing for Switzerland that the first Olympic qualifier will be here in a few months.

Boxing as a sport has too much support, it would be like trying to get rid of gymnastics, I just don't see it happening. At best the IOC would just recognize someone else as the true boxing federation.

So i guess nothing changed for the continental spots? You can still earn them for free?

 

Man, sailing is really pushing it. They are the first federation with universality qualifier + universality invitations, and of course the useless continental spots. No wonder the federation is on the edge of bankruptcy.

Yeah, they need to follow canoeing and have a rule where at least 2 or 3 nations have to compete for the quota to be valid.

I do like the emerging nations quotas, it helps nations which are good in other sports, but developing in the sport in question. I always found it unfair for nations like Ethiopia and Jamaica where they are quite weak in almost all sports, but because of athletics they are not eligible for tripartite quotas.

Pretty good for Canada, considering we are almost non-existent in Greco-Roman
