wtf "the qualification criteria must include an accommodation for women who were pregnant or postpartum during the qualification period"? Good luck to the IFs for the next Olympics. And why not including special provisions for injuries and sickness?

lol

Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome that both qualified in women’s heptathlon. I’m just pointing out why this system needs to be reformed or completely reworked after Tokyo.

Perfect example of how the world rankings don’t reward athletic performance, but rather circumstance.

Incredible 48.56 AR from Christine Mboma in the Bydgoszcz 400m. Justyna Swiety about 30m behind. 5.89 PB for Obiena in the PV.

Great job Mexico. Russia needs to beat Germany by 7 or more to go to semis. But, Germany looks favored to take no1 spot in that group. Going to be interesting now in Split between Croatia and Brazil, I don't think nobody is gonna tank that match now, when you have Mexico in semis waiting for you.

5 athletes

Finally! @MHSN

Tennis’ qualification system does have accommodations for injured athletes and I actually think that’s mostly a good thing.

International Gymnastics Federation releases draw for Tokyo Olympics

Alfons Juck, our athletics madman, the guy I linked the tweet earlier said it in a comment in our athletics fb. I believe, he has extreme knowledge about athletics and everything in the backstage of this sport the last sentence : Dúfajme, že sa to potvrdí vo štvrtok (Gabriela moved to the the qualifying positions after the NCh and Luzerne meeting. Let s hope it will be confirmed Thursday) he posted it last night, so It looks he knew something we dont as usual The guy is a true encyclpodia of Athletics

Judo say hi

so our west and east neighbors in Quarterfinals north and south watching TV together with us

Anonymous source? What is this, Watergate? At any rate, it's interesting how 112 quotas can be created out of thin air when football needs it.

Well if the athlete gets stolen cause of the US withdrawals I'm gonna be mad.

Brazil resembled a bit the great team of 80s with Oscar Schmidt !!

Nice game, lets see what gonna happen on the weekend. Brazil loves to surprise us in both ways, its not impossible to lost to México on saturday.

I know, post in haste, repent at leisure - Shaunae can't catch a break!

I do think the decision is pretty fact specific - you can’t create a qualification system where you denny an athlete the chance to qualify because of a pregnancy that happened three years before the qualification system was published.

It's not a big surprise for me, Russia has a very limited team.

https://extranet.worldarchery.sport/documents/index.php/?doc=4690 final quota New quota (WORLD RANKING)

Yeah, no possible result between Russia and Germany can leave them out. Amazing.

Hope Marc Reuther still makes it in the 800 metres. He ran 1:45,22 minutes three times in the qualification period with the standard being 1:45,20.

they have it because they have it in their usual ATP/WTA ranking and there are lots of spots (+ for tennis players Olympics are certainly not the main goal and you can be certain no one will abuse of it) Try coming up with a qualification system that accomodate injuries and pregnancies in canoeing slalom or taekwondo or whatever..

You can see on the world athletics road to some athletes who have officlly withdrawn. including Ingebritsen in 5k

He also announced Belarus would host the Team Championships, but then Belarus started kidnapping people so it never happened.

Someone from CBAt tweeted it, I dont know if they recieved some info from World Athletics but seems so

Thanks a lot, Iiterally did not sleep well thinking that Spain or Dominican Republic could push us out. Unfortunately mix is out. Those guys would deserve it a lot, too! Well, let's aim for Paris :-)

И онда ће отићи у Токио са причама како је апсолутно спреман и како верује у себе и бла бла. И тамо у квалификацијама бацити 19,65

I thought he was from Rio

Bingham wasn't on my radar so that's great!

Yup. So did Bingham in the 100m

I think Noelle Montcalm did enough to get in a ranking position.

Our commentator still speaking about failure at hockey worlds...I swear they will speak about also in Tokyo when Sjostrom or I dont know who else will be on screen

So which 2018 YOG medalists have a chance to win a medal in Tokyo? I think the following athletes could do it: Swimming: Ceccon, Minakov, Kolesnikov, Burdisso, Milak, De Tullio, Kesely, Yang Junxuan, McKeown, Hodges Athletics: Díaz, Mu, Abebe, Mahuchikh Wrestling: Kozyrev? Diving: Willars, Lian Junjie Table Tennis: Harimoto, Sun Yingsha, Hirano Fencing: Ueno, Pusztai Boxing: Dubois Judo: Sulamanidze Shooting: Chaudhary, Bhaker

Nakon Grgica i Mogic otkazao nastup na OI.

Both are sports will do better in coming years due to minimum equipment and facilities needed. Modern Pentathlon is quite costly and skateboarding is only limited to very few nations and should be restricted to youth Olympics so that 12-14 year olds don't fight for gold. Kabaddi has very good players from Poland, Kenya, Argentina, Sierra Leone and so many I just can't count. Poland even beat full strength Iran comfortably at the World Cup in 2016.

Top 8 times this year of athletes who will compete at the Olympics (to the best of my knowledge): In events, where Someone ranked in the top 8 might not compete, I also included the 9th ranked athlete. Below the top 8 I added my prediction for the athletes who will make the final.
