Khadija Stuns Sambou, No quota for Senegal in women's wrestling.

But none of the Indians seem to have qualified in women's singles as per the pdf

Tomorrows prediction 50kg - , 53kg - , / (51:49) 57kg - 62kg - - both athlethes capable of Olympic Medal, Marwa trying for her 2nd Olympic medal at Tokyo. Outside chance for Cameroon 68kg - , Small Outside chance for Tunisia 76kg - , Small chance for Ivory Coast too. Such a shame that Yvette Zie of Burkina Faso isn't here, could have been an easy qualification.

Yeah Cameroon and Nigeria that's bad. Other half is weak including a Guam vs Madagascar Quarterfinals - a must watch match. I wish there was something like Marshall Islands and American Samoa in the half with the 2 winners meeting for olympic quota . But no such thing, a below average Tunisian gets the quota.

You'll have to wait for the official source until entry deadline ends. https://www.nknews.org/2021/03/tokyo-2021-north-korean-olympic-committee-holds-mystery-meeting-in-pyongyang/ The economic crisis Means it'll be hard to give any opportunity for the virus. Safely you can see that's it from North Korea at the Tokyo Olympics. See you at Beijing 2022 ( winter) and Hangzhou 2022 asiad for the tokyo hopeful / qualified athlethes.

Withdrawing from Olympic completely. They just aren't interested to participate in any Olympic Qualifier where they had chances in those events to even medal.

North Korea will miss the Olympics hence korea who missed the last team spot loosing to Korea will go through. Chances of North Korea in Olympics is extremely less.

@Benolympique French women's team is likely going to Tokyo

Over covid 19 they may return by 2022 Asiad or 2023.

And since Colombia will be banned due to 3+ positives , 55,64,76,87,87+ lifters have like 17-20kg lead over the 2nd best. And in 49kg its 10kg approx.

If she doesn't get injured or infected by covid 19 or does something stupid she'll win the gold by just lifting her current personal best. Papua New Guinea, Dominican Republic and Indonesia are expected to be her main rivals but she has a good lead over them.

Looks like no quota for Morocco or Namibia. South Africa has a chance still against Algeria IN 67kg, direct playoff coming up for Olympic quota.

No suprises, just a 3 nations domination

If athlethes having max 3 day stay after event is over, which I presume will be reduced to 1 and a half day no more than approx 4000 athlethes would be in Tokyo at a time in a village of capacity 10000+. Correct me if I am wrong with the calculations.

Also 2 factors will be important 1. Whether the wrestler had been infected with covid 19 recently 2. Mental health of the wrestler during the pandemic time, whether they have overcome the stress or not . These 2 factors became significant after the national women's trials in India where wrestlers who never made to national senior team won.

@Benolympique Keep an eye on the Namibian wrestler in 60kg. He hasn't lost to any Egyptian in the last 2 years. He beat today's Egyptian wrestler by 5-2, 2 years ago and lost to today's Algerian wrestler 3-4. So definitely not someone to be neglected. On a good day he can win the tournament and on a bad finish 3rd.

With so many qualifiers being conducted in great difficulty, no question of cancelling the Olympics now. It's not that severe in tokyo this time. And yes safe to not have any qualifiers in Tokyo to increase cases. But Tokyo will still go ahead 99.9%

Egypt and Tunisia will win the most quotas followed by Algeria . Even South Africa can have a couple. Keep an eye on the American Samoa wrestlers just in case some suprise happens, not likely, but it's round robin followed by semis . Since it's Greco Roman of course it's not that likely still would be nice to watch them wrestle tomorrow in around 9 hours from now. P. S : Olympic Quota for Namibia in 60kg and Morocco in 77kg possible .

Imagine 3 European teams from A and just 2 from B in quarterfinals. It's not like impossible either, decent chances for Korea, Angola and Brazil.

Womens events prediction 50kg : Jpn, Ind Outside chance for Mongolia 53kg : Kaz, Mgl 57kg : Kaz, Ind Good chance for Mgl 62kg : China ,Ind With referees help Kazakhstan Good chance for Mgl too. 68kg : Kgz, China Outside chance for India ,Kaz 76kg : Kgz, Mgl Outside chance for India

It just isn't the best pair there. It's a corrupted federation. Shwetha and Varsha won the silver in 49er FX ahead of the best Chinese, Thailand boats only behind the Singaporeans who already qualified. So they could have been favourite here. Apart from their mental trauma also the federation is just not great. I can equate it to Wrestling terrible politics just terrible federation. The sent 49er FX athlethes aren't like India's top 3 otherwise also. Anyhow rules are changed as required. For WFI there must not be anything like trials I think it's enough. If they want trials it must be 10 day continuos trials. Like how the fuck they choose such undeserving wrestlers on basis of 1 day's performance? They can beat fellow Haryanvis but not the Europeans or Asians.

3rd to 9th April . Fingers crossed hope no one qualifies . That would be a excellent gift to the federation

I don't know if some of the nations can send athlethes to participate elsewhere. Maybe they'll extend deadline by a month and organize one tournament somehwere for all remaining

Is the Wikipedia page on weightlifting qualifiers true? It shows Oceania nations qualified
