JoshMartini007 2,201 Posted March 19, 2020 #152 Share Posted March 19, 2020 As all tripartite nations must be in the top 50 of the Olympic Standings here are those that are eligible.

Weird that they didn't keep things consistent. That adds... to men's -67kg to men's +75kg to women's -55kg to women's +61kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s be fair, probably he would not have made it even in a normal circumstances. Of course you never know, he had a chance and that was taken from him. But he is not the only one and there will be many many more in other sports. For Iran it does not really matter. They have still a medal contender in that category.

They have still a medal contender in that category. of course it doesn't matter for Iran, actually I'm glad Ganjzadeh made it. he has more chance for the gold medal than Poursheib. I really really feel sorry for Poursheib , I know he sacrificed a lot to be in Tokyo, but I always preferred Ganjzadeh. yes having another K1 event most probably wouldn't change much for Poursheib and that's not the point, he didn't even mention that in his long post. he is more upset about the rules favoring Ganjzadeh over him despite having less points. he is hugely disappointed because they didn't know having more points won't be enough for him. they only found out about it when he surpassed Ganjzadeh in the ranking but WKF ranking was still showing Ganjzadeh in green. WKF should mentioned it very clearly in its official qualification rule but they didn't predict such a rare situation. and I don't think there are "many many more" athletes who are 2nd in Olympic Ranking and still doesn't qualify for the olympics. (I'm talking about sports with qualification based on the ranking) this is very very rare where top 2 are from the same country. I know it happened at men's 58kg taekwondo but can't remember another example in any other sports. Poursheib is very upset because he is not even behind another Iranian in the WR. my point is I think Poursheib deserved it more because he had more points even though I still think Ganjzadeh is a better option.

For Chinese table tennis players, world no.1 is not a guarantee for participating Olympics though 2 quotas available. World ranking is just for reference, head coach have the final say to choose which 2 players to play. In Rio current women world no.1 Liu Shiwen failed to participate single event but luckily she was on team event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
