Maja Jager er den første danske atlet der er blevet officielt udtaget til OL. https://www.dif.dk/da/elite/nyheder/viaritzauelite/presse/2019/10/20191008_denfrsteolatleterudtaget Udtagelse fra Maja Jager: ”Det var en kæmpe skuffelse for mig, at jeg ikke kom med til OL i Rio. Men bueskydning er en brutal sport, hvor små omstændigheder kan gøre en kæmpe forskel,” siger Maja Jager og fortsætter: ”Jeg glæder mig rigtig meget til at komme til OL i Tokyo. Jeg husker tydeligt den fantastiske stemning, der var på tribunerne i London, og det kommer til at gentage sig i Tokyo, for her er bueskydning en rigtig stor sportsgren”. Der er 290 dage til den olympiske ild tændes på det nye olympiske stadion i Tokyo, og udtagelsen af Maja Jager er ifølge DIF’s OL chef de mission, Søren Simonsen, noget helt særligt. ”Udtagelsen af den første atlet er en milepæl, som gør det tydeligt for alle, at OL i Tokyo nærmer sig. Jeg er glad for at kunne byde Maja velkommen på et forhåbentligt stærkt dansk hold. Jeg havde selv fornøjelsen af at overvære hende vinde medalje i holdkonkurrencen ved European Games i juni, og jeg ser frem til at følge hendes præstationer i Tokyo,” siger Søren Simonsen. Maja Jager sikrede i juni ved VM i Holland dansk bueskydning en nationsplads til Tokyo-legene. Bueskydning Danmark har indstillet Maja Jager til at få pladsen, og nu er hun altså officielt blevet udtaget af DIF’s bestyrelse, som er olympisk komité i Danmark og dermed udtager de danske atleter. English translation:

I'm sorry, but I don't seem to understand what the issue here is? As AIFHg writes, the universality places are distrubuted as the last thing after Standards and World Ranking. According to me there is no specification in the qualification document about a minimum of athletes or % of athletes coming from the IAAF World Ranking. For example minimum 20% of the athletes must come from the IAAF World Ranking. Of course I could have completed missed your point and I'm very sorry if I have. It was not my intention at all.

No, it should be 39 songs. It's this one you mean? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLICNv5ge4lvdw959yveHEjqXULcvFml7I If it only shows 31, could you go the first post of the thread and try to find the songs which are missing from the list you see. When you find the songs, write a new post with the names of the songs.

Here is an status on the voting process from one half of the host jury: First Tier: A solid top 3 has been formed. Number 1, 2 and 3 look to be be safe. Second Tier: Ranking between 4-9. At the moment it seems that I have the songs for these positions, but not in any particular order. In any case, they should end up being in my top 12. Third Tier: This is the really tough part of the ranking to determine. One day I have three songs in 10-12th place, the next day three new songs. There are 9 songs who compete for the three last spots on my top 12. I will most definitely have 4 reserves this year. I'm a bit frustrated at the moment... It's probably gonna be a last hour decision from my side.

and if that one doesn't work, you can try this:

A very successful first step: 39 countries registered for TOISC 2019 in Denmark. October 04, 2019 - After two intense weeks of promoting 2019 TISC Open to the Totallympics community, the organizing committee can happily announce that it has received 39 entries, nominated by the same number of national juries composed of 48 jury members. This is currently the highest number of National juries and members since the successful 2018 TAISC in Brazil. The organizing committee is proud of this achievement, which includes return from 6 juries, Canada, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Sweden. We can also welcome a few new jury members to the TISC family and let us not forget that a certain amount of former jurors are back for 2019 TISC Open after they have missed one or more of the last editions of TISC. Next on schedule, is the voting process which starts tomorrow, with the host jury having to select their preferred entries. As usual, the host jury will send it votes to one or more neutral sources which will certify that the voting process is done in fairness. The deadline for the host jury is Tuesday, October 8th, 20:00 (CEST). Once this process has been completed, the remaining National juries will have to cast their own votes. This process will run for 10 days until Friday, October 18th, 22:00 (CEST). On that note, the playlist for 2019 TISC Open is now available: 2019 TOISC Playlist The playlist has also been placed in the first post of the thread. The organizing committee would recommend all jury members to already start listen to the entries now or as soon as possible. If there are any issues with one or more videos, you can write a post in this thread or write a PM to me, Wumo. Lastly, the organizing committee has done its best to bring attention to this year's contest, but it is aware that it couldn't have reached such an impressive number of participants without you, the Totallympics community. It is your interest and passion for TISC that makes this possible, so it is with the deepest gratitude that the organizing committee would like to thank you, the Totallympians, for your massive support for 2019 TISC Open in Denmark. Together we make it possible. #2019TOISC #TogetherWeMakeItPossible

Under 2 hours left before the registration period closes and there is one question everybody is asking. Where are you, @Glen? I know the weather is not so great in Denmark as it is in Malta in October, but we hope to see you and your entry soon. (I hope the penguins don't play any role in this...)

No, they are not included in the cap of every single event. There is a cap of 1900 athletes in athletics overall which include the relay athletes and universality places. If you add up all the the athlete quotas in every event, you get 1874 athletes. This means that there are 26 athlete quotas for those athletes who only run relay and universality places.

Finnator123 has said he's going to participate. I'm still not sure about and justony.

Time for me to switch to Norwegian television to hear two men scream their lungs out.

Sorry. You discovered it yourself while I was writing my post.

I would say Mexico have won some olympic medals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_at_the_Olympics

Divine Oduduru and Blessing Okagbare will be given a spot at the starting line for the 200 meters at the world championships. Okagbare tells The Associated Press that track’s governing body, the IAAF, has approved the appeal from the two Nigerians and reinstated them into the meet after a paperwork mix-up led to them being disqualified. Nigeria’s track federation had entered both runners in the 100-meter races, even though neither intended to compete at that distance. When they didn’t show up, IAAF rules called for them to be disqualified from the rest of the meet, including their main events, the 200, and the 4x100 relays. But after learning more about the mix-up, an IAAF appeals panel reinstated them. Oduduru, the NCAA champion out of Texas Tech, is scheduled to race later Sunday. Okagbare is the 2013 bronze medalist at 200 meters, and is scheduled to race in preliminaries on Monday. https://www.apnews.com/6c5c2ec6321b439cb2e5895782570b8e

We are getting closer to the real highlight of the night...the 50km Race Walk!

Mcmaster has been DQ'ed Edit: Once again I was too slow.

Nijel Amos has pulled out of the 800m at the World Athletics Championships in Doha because of an Achilles problem. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/athletics/world-atheltics-championships-favourite-nijel-amos-pulls-out-of-800m-with-achilles-problem-a4249091.html

The only new one is Lyndsay Tessier. The rest have full quota or an athlete has already achieved the standard.

His name is Steve Hooker. Which ironically would be a much better name for a gay actor, than Hooper.

One week left From today, there is one week left of the registration period. 40 jury members from 32 nations have registered as of today. The organizing committee very much appreciate the interest the 2019 TISC Open has already received. 10 nations have already sent their songs and the organizing committee hopes all registered juries will sent a song before the deadline. Juries who haven't sent a song yet: @konig, @LDOG, @KingOfTheRhinos, @titicow @vinipereira, @stefanbg, @Canada4thewin, @Jan Linha, @Bohemia, @Benolympique, @uk12points, @Janakis, @Fly_like_a_don, @OlympicIRL @Gianlu33, @Henry_Leon, @Pablita, @SteveParker, @Glen, @mrv86, @Wanderer @Skijumpingmaster, @rybak, @kungshamra71 @Cobi, @amen09, @dezbee2008, @Olympian1010 Two juries have shown their interest to participate, but have yet to officially register: @Function CR Lee, @thepharoah One jury has responded back to the organizing committee, but with an uncertainty about their participation in this edtion of TISC Open: @justony The organizing committee has tried to reach out to the following juries, but hasn't heard anything from them yet: @Gigs, @Finnator123, @catgamer, @heywoodu @FC Mezhgorye, @Damian, @Pabloffo, @Memo, @NaBUru38, @Argenis Gonzalez The organizing committee hopes to hear from them soon and hopefully with the interest to take part in 2019 TISC Open. Deadline for the registration period is October 4, 18:00 (CEST)

For once we are gonna have a 800m run where Yarigo is not a pacer.

You can edit your predictions whenever you want until the start of the first event of the Prediction Design Post, so September 27th, h. 16:30 (GMT +3) is the deadline

Almaz Ayana is out of the WCH. The Olympic and world champion and world-record holder at 10,000m, withdrew from the world track and field championships, according to the IAAF. https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2019/09/25/almaz-ayana-track-and-field-world-championships/

From the official qualification document: G.2.1 Where the Host Country obtains athlete quota places through the Global World Qualification Competition or the Asian Continental Qualification Competition, the unused Host Country Places will be reallocated to the next highest placed NOC, not yet qualified, in that event respectively from the Global World Qualification Competition or the Asian Continental Qualification Competition. Which means that Russia is actually qualified, as dcro has described.
