Can’t wait for FINA to award Ireland an invite in this discipline too and then rescind it. Unlike diving and swimming, we have no participants, but it’s FINA and anything is possible

Another PB & NR for Femke Bol - 53.44

I really hate that 3rd policy which means creating mixed or stupid team events and giving up easy medals to some athletes.

Barbara MATIC u finalu na SP!!!

And there was other Pan American boats in the race that they could have given it too as well. Bizarre they just gave it to non Pan American countries. Here is a link (in French) https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1795902/comite-olympique-canadien-japon-trois-rivieres-eric-myles-mauricie

Seems like it's almost harder to qualify for the Olympics than to win a medal in karate

Archery WA Final Olympic Games Qualifier 2021 Paris (FRA) - 18 June 2021 - 21 June 2021 Official Website Programme Results System Results Database Facebook Page Discussion Thread

4 is the maximum actually but from what I see 76, 64 and 55 are 100% guaranteed. 59 is 2nd in line for the Pan American quota behind USA. but USA has 4 weightlifters in top 8 in other weights. so yes I think Canada is 99.99% guaranteed maximum 4 quotas .

Thanks for all the info! That would be so cool to see Ireland with a weightlifter at the Olympics and if it doesn’t happen I am already pleasantly surprised we had someone in the picture at least. My bad for not giving him the respect he deserves. Good luck to him

not at the moment but his chances are not completely dead yet. slim chance though. he is 3rd in line for the European quota. actually 2nd because Russia is not going to take this one. but Albania is still ahead of him. he had to make his last attempt in the World Juniors to surpass that guy. I remember how frustrated he was when he failed. but the thing is, Albania (which is limited to 2 quotas) most probably don't want this guy. they want Qerimaj at 81 for their 2nd spot. he will qualify if Colombia is banned or someone gets hurt in 81kg ranking. just one change will be enough for Albania (and therefore for Adamus) Albania might reject 96kg quota "hoping" for 81kg later with possible reallocations. these are just possibilities but at this moment Adamus is out of the Olympics.

no I didn't that's Ireland. Ireland is the best ranked NOC in that weight with no quota in another categories. I have to say I'm not sure at all about what I wrote so don't blame me if I was completely wrong the whole qualification process was mind blowing. (for example both of our Olympic Champions failed to qualify) as I said I still think India will take that quota but some Indian users told me earlier that this is guy is suspended (I can't find anything confirming that) if he is banned, there is nobody else from Asia to take the Asian quota. so the quota will be re-allocated. BUT even if India takes that one, there is another way left for Ireland, according to the rules, since Japan is qualifying maximum 4 weightlifters, there will be 4 unused host quotas. we still don't know in which weights because they have to award 3 wild cards first. in case no wild card will be awarded in this weight. Brown has a good chance to take the unused host quota.

It would be some coup if gets a magical quota here @OlympicIRL @Oldira

And she’s very young in a sport where people normally peak older. That throw would have gotten a medal at the last World Championships and Olympics.

A large chunk of that extra time didn’t have any competition (times gained in a period of nearly 8 months weren’t counted) and it’s only at long distances really. The marathon is way over subscribed It’s the shoes

and the rest 96 == 109 == +109 == * There is no eligible weightlifter from Africa in +109kg, so the African quota will go to Hungary * I heard from Indian users here that Ajay Singh (81kg weightlifter) is suspended for doping but the fact his name is still in the list means maybe that's not correct. also the source I was given (and didn't check it properly at the time ) refers to another athlete in another sport, so I assume he is not banned. but in case he is banned, there is nobody from Asia to grab that quota. from what I can see the next best NOC with no quota in this sport is ! https://sportstar.thehindu.com/other-sports/nada-provisionally-suspends-rakhi-halder-ajay-thakur-anti-doping-rule-violations/article34283229.ece again, this information is most probably WRONG ! I highly doubt NOCs can't pick their own team.

I think he is partially right. the entry standards in athletics are really hard, but the long qualification contributes to the fact so many athletes achieve it. The other part no one wants to talk about: you could do a lot of things unobserved in 2020 and has nothing to do with new shoes

I still think that we will win more medals compared to Rio, but less gold medals. Right now I would predict 4 gold medals for Hungary, 2 in canoe sprint, 1 in swimming and 1 in wrestling. But I expected around 5 gold medals from both London and Rio, so what do I know.

It would be fantastic, but unlike Men, a medal from girls would be a real surprise and a result above expectation. But my whole prediction is above expectation, so why not :D ? Gold to Lőrincz Tamás in Greco-Roman 77kg, He is the current world champion and he dominated the last European Championships in April. Regarding swimming, I'll have to correct you : 2 Milák , 1 Hosszú, Silver for Kapás, Bronze for Hosszú in 200 I.M. and Razovszky in Open Waters

To be fair, women's Nordic combined in 2026 wouldn't be half bad. It's great it was not added for 2022, that would have been ridiculously early, but it might be alright for 2026. There's been an international circuit of competition going on already, unlike for example women's monobob which was added before it even had a regular international competition circuit.

yeah...let's call that "impressive"...

Well, 1990 is available now. Can't register yet though, since the only available options (combinations of the first and second appointment) are not possible for me: either midway on a Sunday (there's F1 then), or somewhere during the Olympics (later in the day I'm sleeping, earlier I'm watching) I guess I'll wait a little so the first falls somewhere before 23 July and the second somewhere after the Olympics..

What the IOC really mean of Winter equality is 50% snowboard/freestyle urban events and 50% for all other sports.

It’s really not much more egregious than some of the biathlon events tbh.

Respect Eleftherios! I am looking forward to watch the rivalry between Petrounias and Colak..I think it will evoke us NAIM and VALERIOS. Best wishes.

http://www.cbc.esp.br/noticias/busca/id/10883 The criteria in Portuguese... TBH, I don't know if Renato or Anderson fit better this system.... but, imo, the choice of our representant was quite obvious at this moment.

Pavlychenkova to the final

Who knows, maybe the Americans are the favorites now? Their 'robots' routine for the free is pretty hyped. But then again, when was the last time in this sport someone climbed two positions within one competition? Never?

not without wrestling but it has to be 3 years time between your last official competition (World and Continental Championships) before you are allowed to wrestle for another country in the Olympics. Hemida is a 2018 world U23 silver medalist for USA. normally he wouldn't be able to wrestle at the Olympics (since he wrestled for USA in November 2018) but IOC gave him special permission.

Yes from coach Pitino

Ivana i Armin su danas u Firenci. biće zanimljivo ispratiti gde se Ivana trenutno nalazi. Stranić je inače oborio juniorski rekord star 19 godina sa 67,69 sa 6kg, to možda ne deluje kao bog zna kakav rezultat ali je samo Finac ove godine bacao više iz baš njegovog godišta, svi koji su ostali ispred su 2002. on je 2004.

not sure if you are aware but Egypt NOC asked IOC's special permission to let Hemeida wrestle for Egypt. (before his 3 years inactivity period ) I don't think they did that for nothing. but I understand he did nothing special yesterday (beside making Iranian fans happy) and they probably send the original guy. this is the same in Iran in most sports. sending the guy who won the quota. but wrestling is a different story. you can make a comedic movie from our wrestling trial process

That's sad, I wonder if he knew this was possible (wouldn't be surprised if nobody really counted on this at all). But yeah, hoping for another athlete to get injured is sort of cruel, can't really say I hope someone else's Olympic dream will be shattered or something, that would be good for Kuworge but just as much of a tragedy on the other side

She beat a former world silver medalist (ex Brazil, now Portugal) but not the 2 seed. Not sure where I got that from! Has since lost in the QF to Dutch girl (who world number 5) and beaten another world top 10 (Brazil) to leave her with a fight for a medal now

Two wins has Megan Fletcher into the quarter finals of the world championship and she's guaranteed to be in a qualifying spot now. Mark one down for Judo!

It is possible, yes. However, only one total universality place can be now awarded per nation (as opposed to one per gender in 2016). Plus, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the universality spots will be awarded based on rankings. This should prevent nations from stacking up 100 m events (to an extent).

Very good score for Moustafaeva with the hoop, 22.something @Benolympique

I don't think so, rules were completely different back then. this year they award the quotas to the athletes, not the NOCs. even if someone gets hurt, the next weightlifter in the world ranking will go.

And two matches suspension + 18.000 euro fine for her. Hehe. The excuse: "I just wanted to tell my teammates to defend like the Thai girls." That goes right on the list with Sara Errani explaining her positive doping test by saying her mom's cancer medicine fell in the pasta sauce

Chinese Olympic Team predicted by experts

@thepharoah do you have any idea who is going to represent Egypt in 125kg ? I assume this was Egypt's trial in this weight as well. both your guys finished 5th. so who is going ?! but I have to say most of Iranian wrestling fans thank Youssif Hemida for what he did here we sent two wrestlers here for our own trials. A) a very young talented wrestler who might even have chance for the Olympic gold and B ) a guy who is just a bad matchup for wrestler A and beat him twice recently. thankfully Hemida did great and beat Amin Taheri (wrestler B) in the QF and cleaned the way for the other guy Amir-Hossein Zare to win the gold in a dominant way and confirmed his place in Tokyo. that was one of the rare moments I had to cheer against the Iranian athlete btw it seems Chamizo really made a mess in our trials. our 74kg wrestler is not confirmed yet. Hosseinkhani won the gold but that didn't convince our "technical committee" apparently. they are considering having extra trials. (still nothing confirmed, they are just thinking) that will affect the seeding as well. Hosseinkhani will be the 4th seed if he goes to Tokyo. personally I was cheering for the other guy. pity they didn't face each other but he lost to the guy who lost to Hosseinkhani. end of discussion. Hosseinkhani is the most hated wrestler here. for the reason I explained ( so many heart breaking defeats in last 15 seconds) but he is the best we have in this weight at the moment.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who found this situation bizarre. I'm glad I found this site it's cool. Everyone else I talk to doesn't get it. Never realized that there were so many Olympic fans out there like me. Let's just pray Canada can get the spot! LVL deserves it after what she's been through. Makes no logical sense why Japan get's it. Now she's playing the waiting game just like Bujold.

Swimming here are Men 50m freestyle: Brent Hayden 100m freestyle: Brent Hayden 200m freestyle: Alexander Pratt (B standard) 400m freestyle: Jeremy Bagshaw (B standard) 800m freestyle: Peter Brothers (B standard) 1500m freestyle: Michael McGillivray (B standard) 100m back: Markus Thormeyer and Cole Pratt 200m back: Markus Thormeyer (preselected) and Cole Pratt 100m breast: Richard Funk (B standard) 200m breast: James Dergousoff (B standard) 100m butterfly: Joshua Liendo (B standard) 200m butterfly: Mack Darragh (B standard) 200im: Finlay Knox and Cole Pratt 400im: Tristan Cote (B standard 4x100m freestyle relay: Brent Hayden, Markus Thormeyer, Yuri Kisil (relay only), Joshua Liendo. I really do not see anyone else being named to this team 4x100m medley relay: Brent Hayden (freestyle), Markus Thormeyer (backstroke), Richard Funk (breaststroke) and Joshua Liendo (butterfly). I expect Gabe Mastromatteo to be named as a relay only swimmer in this event as well. If everyone in the individual races hit at least B standard, we should see 15 male swimmers going to Tokyo. Women 50m freestyle: Kayla Sanchez (B standard) 100m freestyle: Taylor Ruck (preselected), Penny Oleksiak 200m freestyle: Penny Oleksiak (preselected), Taylor Ruck 400m freestyle: Emily Overholt 800m freestyle: Emma O'Croinin 1500m freestyle: Emma O'Croinin, Summer McIntosh 100m back: Kylie Masse (preselected), Taylor Ruck 200m back: Kylie Masse (preselected), Taylor Ruck 100m breast: Kelsey Wog, Kierra Smith 200m breast: Sydney Pickrem (preselected), Kelsey Wog 100m butterfly: Maggie Macneil (preselected), Rebecca Smith 200m butterfly: Mabel Zavaros (b standard) 200im: Sydney Pickrem (preselected), Bailey Andison 400im: Sydney Pickrem (preselected), Emily Overholt 4x100m freestyle relay: Ruck, Oleksiak, Sanchez, Macneil 4x200m freestyle relay: Oleksiak, Ruck, Mcintosh, Overholt 4x100m medley relay: No new swimmers will be added here I believe. So about 29 swimmers overall, men on pace to qualify for more swimmers

June 9th team size predictor. S Artistic swimming: 8 (confirmed) Diving: 9 (Could be 8, but I predict 9, 4 men and 5 women) Swimming: 26-30 (hard to tell, due to the nature of the trials). Water polo: 12 (confirmed) Archery 4 (I predict the men's team will qualify) Athletics: 50 (47 have qualified at the moment, 25 women and 22 men). 50 is a conservative estimate Badminton: 8 (confirmed, 1 entry in each event) Basketball: 12 (women's team confirmed) Boxing: 4 (3 women, qualified, one man is on the ranking list, does not include Mandy Bujold) Canoeing: 18-19 (4 in slalom and 14-15 in sprint, depending if LVL gets a quota) Cycling: 23 (Road:5, track: 13, mountain biking: 3, 2 in bmx) Confirmed. Equestrian: 6 (confirmed) Fencing: 9 (confirmed) Field hockey: 16 (confirmed) Football: 18 (confirmed) Golf: 4 (all but confirmed) Gymnastics: 7 (5 in artistic + 2 in trampoline, Jeremy Chartier has done enough) Judo: 6 (73kg, 81 kg, 90kg and 100 kg for men and 52, 57 and 63 for women, more or less confirmed) Karate: 0-3 (3 athletes in contention for spots at the final qualifier) Rowing: 29 (confirmed) Rugby: 24 (confirmed) Sailing: 9 (confirmed) Shooting: 1 (confirmed) Skateboarding: 3 (confirmed) Softball: 15 (confirmed) Sport climbing: 2 (confirmed) Table tennis: 3 (confirmed) Taekwondo: 1-2 (still awaiting confirmation on reallocation for 49kg) Tennis: 6 (Raonic. Shapovalov, Auger-Alliasiame, Andrescu, Dabrowski and Fichman), hoping for more, but I think this is it Triathlon: 4 (2 women, 2 men, all 4 should be safe) Volleyball: 18 (men's indoor, 2 pairs in women's and 1 in men's for beach) Weightlifting: 5 (4 women and 1 man, confirmed) Wrestling: 4 (confirmed) At a minimum: 364 qualified, could be as high as 383, either number would be national record in a non-home/boycotted games, not to mention below, which with luck can bring the team size into the 400's! TBD: Men's basketball (12 athletes) If all goes well for swimming/basketball/athletics, we are looking at around 395~ athletes. Just hope it could be 400!

It should be clear next Monday after the WCH, of course there will be some quota declined, reallocation start and that can change few things again I guess.

Wow Canada qualified a full women's team.

Speaking as an , I have seen middle & distance athletics go through these WR growth spurts before. Apart from the doping records, it’s down to technical or organisational progress. Late 60s/early 70s - end of the old dirt tracks, arrival of all weather tracks. Late 70s/early 80s - professionalisation & emergence of commercial televised meets Early 90s - Emergence of professionally managed East African athletes. Now we have this new combination of super shoes & computerised pace-making, opening up WRs long thought unbeatable. And what has always happened before is that eventually someone sets a genuinely unbeatable record, after which everything will settle down for another decade or so.
