The final should be tomorrow. vs vs Wow, Sierra Leone! I think it's a real pitty that we don't have tripartite places in beach volleyball (1 in each gender). There are a lot of small countries competing and the current qualification really doesn't allow small countries that have only 1 good team to qualify (like Vanuatu). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted May 8, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Looks like Tunisia already qualified. North Africa is now dominating everyone else even in this sport. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it looks like the news at FIVB is one day late. It's not too surprising, northern Africa is pretty good in sports and with South Africa pulling out of continental qualifiers there are now even fewer nations which can stand against them.

mrv86 2,924 Posted June 8, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Just before the main round of the last tournament that gives points I have come to the following scenario on qualification via ranking: Women World Ranking (finish in top 15 secured): Still to define 2 direct places plus the reallocated host quota due to Brazil already qualifying 2 pairs (the other one from 2015 World Championships). NOC's currently holding those places are (in order): There are 3 pairs from that can overtake them. Here's what the minimum they need to do in the last tournament in order to grab the last spot UKOLOVA/BIRLOVA: advance to quarterfinals and that Chinese or Argentinian pairs don't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination. MATAUATU/PATA: finish in 4th place; Chinese or Argentinian pairs don't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination; Russian pair doesn't advance to quarterfinals, LEHTONEN/LAHTI: finish in 3rd place; Chinese or Argentinian pairs don't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination; Russian pair doesn't advance to quarterfinals; Vanuatu doesn't advance to semifinals. Men World Ranking (finish in top 15 secured): There remain (mathematically) 4 places plus the reallocated host quota due to Brazil already qualifying 2 pairs (the other one from 2015 World Championships). NOC's currently holding those places are (in order): There are 2 pairs from that can overtake them. Here's what the minimum they need to do in the last tournament in order to grab the last spot VIRGEN/ONTIVEROS: advance to quarterfinals and that either BOCKERMANN/FLUGGEN or ERDMANN/MATYSIK (the German pairs) don't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination. BINSTOCK/SCHACHTER: finish in 3rd place; both German pairs don't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination; Mexican pair doesn't advance to quarterfinals, vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little correction on that very hypothetical occurrence: LEHTONEN/LAHTI: finish in 2nd place, if the Chinese pair doesn't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination; finish in 3rd place, if the Argentinian pair doesn't advance to the 2nd round of direct elimination; Russian pair doesn't advance to quarterfinals; Vanuatu doesn't advance to semifinals.

mrv86 2,924 Posted June 10, 2016 #18 Share Posted June 10, 2016 VIRGEN/ONTIVEROS ARE IN RIO!! Last time they we're so close, and now they achieve the result that sends them to the Olympic Games!! Following today's results in Hamburg, the list of qualifiers by Olympic Ranking is like this (including reallocation of host quota): Women Men vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,209 Posted June 10, 2016 #19 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Poor Vanuatu. Maybe without Australia's and China's top teams they can take the continental quota. vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
