Although, if they were to do VNL 2024 a couple of months earlier (Where the World Ranking quotas would be handed out), and the OQT in mid June, then it (being VNL 2024) might conflict with club seasons.

For the top teams, this event is pretty much useless, as they’ll qualify anyways. Why doesn’t FIVB award five quotas through World Rankings, then do an OQT for the remaining six spots.

5 days away No expectations for Canada, as it’s quite unlikely we’ll secure a quota, even through World Rankings. Essentially, if we don’t qualify here (most likely having to beat both Netherlands and Argentina), our chances would be over.

Day 2 (July 28, 2024) Archery- Women’s Team Gold- South Korea Silver- Germany Bronze- Japan Canoe Slalom- Women’s K1 Gold- Ricarda Funk Silver- Jessica Fox Bronze- Mallory Franklin Former Olympic Champion Chourraut finishes in fourth.

Swimming- Men’s 100m Breastroke Gold- Adam Peaty Silver- Qin Haiyang Bronze- Nic Fink Assuming Peaty is healthy, he should take this one. Wouldn’t count out Haiyang though.

Yep.

Don’t see McIntosh making that particular relay (at least for finals) if Ruck and Oleksiak are fully healthy, her split wasn’t very good at this years World Championships. Wouldn’t be surprised to see her competing in only one relay (4x200m freestyle) at the Olympics.

All of my predictions are made under the assumption that Russia won’t be competing.

Philip Kim wins silver at the Breaking World Championships, just missing out on a Paris quota, but he’ll most likely qualify anyways. Third consecutive medal for him, after silver in 2021, and gold in 2022.

B-Girl Medalists Gold- “B-Girl Nicka” aka Dominika Banevič Silver- “B-Girl Ayumi” aka Ayumi Fukushima Bronze- “B-Girl Syssy” aka Sya Dembele B-Boy Medalists Gold- “B-Boy Victor” aka Victor Montalvo Silver- “B-Boy Phil Wizard” aka Philip Kim Bronze- “B-Boy Shigekix” aka Nakarai Shigeyuki

You’re not wrong, but I just wish we could’ve got the quota first try.

B-Boy Victor qualifies for Paris 2024!
