For that they should be allowed to participate in winter Olympics. Other wise no one would really care.

What matters is global representation I'm ok even if they take 5 minutes, because you have to start some time now or later.

Interesting final up. Netherlands have a habit of making it to the final and loosing so I expect this time. But it may be a very close match, with very few goals separating each other or who knows penalty shoot out

Forget India. All these what do you have to say? It's not that qualifications should be easy. Infact all unqualified nations MUST be allowed to send 1 athlete in either speed skating, short track speed skating ,alpine or cross country skiing. Otherwise these games won't improve.

OK so @Olympian1010 is wrong. The qualifications for these aren't easy. IOC at complete fault.

Why is it worse?

No wait not Russia. They can't host a Olympic Qualifier.It will be Belgrade probably

Aah I get it right with some great shooting by Polman and Abbing!! Win the semis 33-32, reach finals.

Pretty much I feel like the 4th place team at the world champs will miss out. Romania will have its injured players back then.

IOC just doesn't promote winter yog much. Even when Bach met IOA president winter sports was never in discussion . The federations aren't rich and government doesn't think there's any chance. So if you're rich you can participate. Something like Summer YOG is much more easier to follow especially when some already famous athletes are participating. Mean while Odisha vs Mumbai for a 2026 summer YOG bid ,IOA made it clear. Even Delhi is there but water sports are difficult so is pollution.

That's because our federation doesn't even know these games exist.

And again fail to qualify a single athlete I wish the sprint skiing events had like universality spots for any country failing to qualify to be able to send 1 man or 1 woman or maybe in short track speed skating or speed skating something like that. Unless there isn't 140-150 nations participating at minimum these will not attract interest in youth. Though most nations may not have snow at least qualifications or invitations can help their citizens residing in Europe or America with colder conditions to join the team and qualify. I'm against having athletes from other countries participating after getting citizenship but rather those which have origin from the respective countries but residing elsewhere.

9-4 up I assumed it was going through but the Swedes had other ideas. Accompanied by fast breaks and aided by some poor reckless shooting from Germans ,Hungary have one chance to now qualify for Tokyo. Nonetheless it won't be a walk in the park considering both 3rd placed team here and Serbia are quite strong.

Qualifies for OQT courtesy 35-24 win for Over @Vektor @Benolympique Should be interesting news for you and all the Hungarian users there out hoping for Swedish victory.

finish 5th Surely they are going to Tokyo. I don't see Romania winning infact I expect Montenegro to win the group ahead of the 4th place team mostly

Yeah just found that. Looks like some European nation can get it.

Japan has already qualified. The quota is reallocated.

Vovinam is sure to be added along with futsal ,finswimming, beach handball, beach soccer. Suspected sports with high chances on the lists are beach woodball and the very famous vocotruyen.

So will be one of the gold medal favorites in women's handball at Tokyo and may possibly win the quota here unless there is a upset. Maybe could reach the finals just like women's football. Somehow is underestimated I believe. Good to see Slovenia getting thrashed by Hopefully some confidence. Looking at Romania's form, 5th place match is important.

So these games are finally over!! At the end we ended up having lots of live streams some not even completed @Griff88 @Olympian1010 @PHI2019 Done with the 2019 edition 2021 -? will top the medal tally I predict them already to win 20 golds in advance in the sport they dominate the world -Shuttlecock. This usually means badminton to most people but in Vietnam people play with shuttlecock like Sepaktakraw using any part of body except hands. It's like jianzi a chinese game. They'll win the singles, doubles, mixed, teams, quadrant ,freestyle single, double, team in mens and women's. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jianzi

They are a bit underrated in rankings, capable of springing up a suprise. Slovenia despite individual ranking is overrated, it will be a walk in the park if we get them I don't see Slovenia winning even 1 match. For Belgium, Cedric Nyutnik is good, rest of the team is beatable easily.

How much i understand it's serpentine system. Only 32-64 ranked teams have random draw. All others are fixed

It's serpentine system right.

If TT qualifications ended today the team qualifications would be : Men : Vs in final round I guess it would be Qualifying Either we need to improve brilliantly above Sweden to face Or perform little badly to face or Which is easier Women : We'll be clubbed with and No chance whatsoever.We need to be consistently perform badly and go down by 2 spots. Then we'll have and as higher ranked teams above us. It's difficult but that's the only possibility where we can come close to a good fight.

Final day of action at the games. Basketball(currently) and football (later) streaming live.
