TeamGB

Thanks. Thats a relief that our early eliminations won't affect us that much.

Does anyone know how the team event works?

What happens with as they already qualified in the mixed team?

Oh... Lol

Please explain.

But does chess encompass any of the Olympic values. It's certainly not Fast(er) It isn't Higher You don't have to be physically Strong(er) And it's not a team sport so you are not together.

Here is my simulation for the 1st division. 378 370 359 355 350 322 293 283 277 267 249 247 242 235 217 185 The battle for the title seems very close with and maybe in contention. will almost certainly be relegated and the battle seems to be between and for the other 2 quotas. As the relays are not included this could all change.

I emailed World Archery, and I will update you when I get a reply.

For the triathlon, there is a world championship series event 2 days before the event in Montreal, so it is likely the Izzard would be competing there, where more points will be on offer.

But it's good for in general, as Rebecca is only 22 and Bianca is 31, so Rebecca will likely take Bianca's spot after Paris, as I assume will happen with Aliyah Powell and Jade Jones.

It kind of ruins some events as there will be less tactical racing.

At least if Fiji take it then there will be an extra spot at the final qualifier.

Not sure about Tulloch as his only real contribution is the rings, and he only managed 6th today.

Another Gold for and a selectors nightmare.

Great Britain Archery 8 athletes - Here I'm basing our entrants off of ArcheryGB's World Class Programme Men's Compound Open - Jamie Harris, Nathan Macqueen Men's Recurve Open - Dave Phillips, Cameron Radigan Men's W1 - Martin Saych Women's Compound Open - Jessica Stretton, Phoebe Patterson Pine, Women's W1 - Victoria Kingstone Athletics 40-50 athletes - We sent 51 to Tokyo, 40 to the Worlds in 2019 and there are 42 athletes listed on British Athletics, Badminton 7 athletes - Its hard to know as the qualification hasn't fully been releases yet but here are some athletes who could qualify. (World Ranking) Men's Singles WH1 - David Follet (15) Men's Singles SL3 - Daniel Bethell (1) Men's Singles SU5 - David Wilson (10) Men's Singles SH6 - Jack Shepard (2) and Krysten Coombs (5) Women's Singles SL4 - Mary Wilson (14) Women's Singles SH6 - Rachel Choong (3) Blind Football 0-8 athletes - I would hope to qualify a team considering we are hosting the world championships this year. Boccia 11 athletes - Again, I will go of the athletes who have UK Sport funding. Men's BC1 - David Smith Men's BC2 - Will Hipwell Men's BC3 - Will Arnott, Jamie McCowan Men's BC4 - Stephen McGuire, Louis Saunders Women's BC2 - Claire Taggart, Kayleigh Haggo Women's BC3 - Sally Kidson, Robyn McBride Women's BC4 - Fiona Muirhead Canoe 8 athletes - Lots of strength in our squad right now so I would expect 8/8 athletes Para Cycling 30-35 athletes - There are currently 33 athletes in our Podium Programme Equestrian 4/4 athletes already qualified Fencing Male - Piers Gilliver , Dimitri Coutya, Oliver Lam Watson Female - Gemma Collis, Emily Holder, Justine Moore, Goalball 0-6 athletes - The women's team are now 10 in the world and may qualify Judo 5 athletes - Men's -71kg J1 - Connah Anders Men's -90kg J1 - Dan Powell Men's -90kg J2 - Evan Molloy Men's +90kg J2 - Chris Skelley Women's +70kg J2 - Kirsten Taylor Para Powerlifting 7 athletes - Men's -65kg - Mark Swan Men's -72kg - Matthew Harding Men's -80kg - Mickey Yule Men's +107kg - Liam McGarry Women's -41kg - Zoe Newson Women's -55kg - Olivia Broom Women's -61kg - Rebecca Bedford Rowing 8 athletes - The same as Tokyo, based on previous world championship performance Shooting 3 athletes - R3 - Matt Skelhon R4 - Ryan Cockbill R5 - Tim Jefferey Swimming 29 athletes on British Swimming's Website Table Tennis 13 athletes - Men's Class 1 - Robert Davies, Thomas Matthews Men's Class 5 - Jack Hunter Spivey Men's Class 6 - Paul Karabardak, Robert Perry Men's Class 7 - Will Bayley Men's Class 8 - William Wilson, Aaron McKibbin, Billy Shilton Men's Class 9 - Josh Stacey Women's Class 4 - Sue Bailey, Megan Shackleton Women's Class 6 - Lucy Pickard Para Taekwondo 4 athletes - Amy Truesdale, Beth Munro, Joe Lane and Matt Bush Triathlon 14 athletes - 12 + 2 guides Wheelchair Basketball 24 athletes - Both Teams should qualify Wheelchair Rugby 12 athletes Wheelchair Tennis 7 athletes - Men's - Alfie Hewitt, Gordon Reid, Ben Bartam, Women's - Lucy Shuker, Cornelia Oosthusien Quad - Andy Lapthorne, Gregory Slade Total - 240-269 athletes (We sent 227 to Tokyo)

That works from a TV perspective, but who's going to want to be in the stadium to watch one event and then go home.

British Swimming have now changed it so there is no limit on the number of athletes with the consideration time who can enter.

On the FINA website, it says the British Champs started today, not yesterday. Is this a mistake so would the times from yesterday count toward olympic qualiication?

Does anyone know when the draws come out, and where I can find the points difference for Men's and women's.

On the qualification system, It says athletes can qualify if they have had historical participation /achievements at BJK cup and Davis Cup competitions, and Russia (or the Russian Tennis Federation as they were banned), won both these events in 2021.

I didn't think Great Britain were competing in non-olympic sports

Team Great Britain Early(ish) Qualification Predictions I did this in August last year before any qualification really started, but now we are getting in to qualifying season I'm providing an update on where Great Britain in heading, with more detail in some sports. Archery 3-6 athletes - I still think women's team is virtually guaranteed with the new qualification system of world rankings. For the men it is possible but they will have to qualify through other means. Artistic Swimming 0-2 athletes - Too early to see if there are any changes, a chance of receiving a retrospective European games Duet spot after reallocation of Team Quotas for other nations. Athletics 65 - 75 athletes - The news here is much more negative with British athletics new selection policy. Here is a more detailed breakdown of what I would expect. Women's (32 athletes) 100m and 200m - A full six athletes due to our relay team. With some various members of that team running the individuals 400m and 400m Hurdles - Again, six athletes due to relays. Probably 3 athletes from flat and 3 from hurdles. 800m - 3 athletes: Keely Hodgkinson, Jemma Reekie and Ellie Baker, although one spot could be taken if Laura Muir tries the double. 1500m - 3 athletes: Laura Muir, Adelle Tracey and one other. 5000m and 10000m - 3 athletes: Eilish McColgan and Jessica Judd will qualify for both, with Amy Eloise Markovic for the 5000m 100m Hurdles - Cindy Sember will be the sole representative. 3000m Steeplechase - Elizabeth Bird and Aimee Pratt like in Tokyo. Marathon - 3 Entrants likely with already 2 qualifications High Jump - Morgan Lake should qualify but she is quite inconsistent. Long Jump - Jasmine Sawyers and Lorraine Ugen Triple Jump - 0 athletes Shot Put - 0 athletes Discus Throw - 0 athletes Hammer Throw - 0 athletes Women's Javelin Throw - 0 athletes Heptathlon - 2 athletes - KJT and hopefully Holly Mills 20km Race Walk - 0 athletes Men's (34 athletes) 100m and 200m - A full 6 athletes due to our relay team. Same as women here. 400m and 400m Hurdles - 5 athletes as Charles Dobson runs to 200m. Cameron Chalmers our sole representative in the hurdles. 800m - 3 athletes: Max Burgin, Kyle Langford and Ben Pattison, Jake Wightman might also attempt the double. 1500m - 3 athletes due to such great depth. Jake Wightman and two others. 5000m and 10000m - 4 athletes will qualify across the two disciplines. 110m Hurdles - David King and Maybe Andrew Pozzi. 3000m Steeplechase - Zak Seddon and Phil Norman through world ranking Marathon - 3 athletes should qualify. High Jump - Joel Clarke Khan and Tom Gale by World ranking Long Jump - 0 Athletes Triple Jump - 0 Athletes Shot Put - Scott Lincoln by world rankings Discus throw - Lawrence Okoye. Hammer Throw - Nick Miller by World Rankings Javelin Throw - 0 Athletes Decathlon - 0 Athletes 20km Race Walk - Callum Wilkinson Badminton 3-8 athletes - Kirsty Gilmour in Singles, Ben Lane and Sean Vendy in Men's Doubles are my confidents, Alexander Dunn and Adam Hall are possible, as well as Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith, and the latter with Chloe Birch. Basketball 0 - 12 athletes - Men are almost impossible, but women have a chance if they find their eurobasket 2019 form. I didn't realise how close they were to qualifying to Tokyo. Boxing 5-9 - Based on European Championships we would have qualified: Kiaran Macdonald (-51kg), Mohammed Akbar (-71kg), and would have been very close for Reese Lynch (-63.5kg), Lewis Williams (-92kg) and Delicious Orie (+92kg). On the women's side, we wouldn't have qualified any athletes but would have been close with Shona Whitwell (-60kg), Rosie Eccles (-66kg). This is of course a very rough estimate as we have other boxers not competing and there are other qualification paths. Breaking 1-3 Athletes - For Men i think we can qualify Kid Kharam and Sunni Brummit, and for the the women I think Emma Houston. Canoe Sprint - 2-5 Athletes - Women's K4 500m have a shout, but the K2 500m should qualify, on the men's side, our best chance is Daniel Johnson in the K1 1000m Slalom - 3-4 - Really should be four with athletes in all categories. Cycling Track - 14 athletes - We are currently comfortably qualifying a full team of 14 riders. The squad I'm most worried about is the men's sprint but it's not a major problem. Road - 5-7 athletes - We are currently qualifying 5 athletes, 2 for women and 3 for men, but we can definitely improve both up a category Mountain bike - 2-4 athletes - We are currently on 3 athletes total, 1 for women and 2 for men, but I think we can gain 4/4 quotas with Evie Richards and Annie Last contenders in the women's. BMX 5-9 athletes - On the men's side we are currently edging Colombia for that 3rd spot on world rankings, on the women's side we only have 1 but 2 is within reach. For Park we could qualify 4/4 but it will be tough with the nature of the Olympic Qualifier Series. Diving 10-12 athletes - Behind China, Great Britain seems to be the "best of the rest and I think we can qualify a full squad like Tokyo, with the athletes being. Men's 3m - Jack Laugher and Jordan Houlden Men's 10m - Tom Daley and Matty Lee Women's 3m - Yasmin Harper and Desharne Bent-Ashmeil. Women's 10m - Andrea Spendolini-Siriex and Lois Toulson. Equestrian 9/9 athletes - Already qualified full quotas. Fencing 1-5 athletes - Carolina Stutchbury is a chance in the Women's Foil, the same with William Deary in the men's Sabre. The men's team foil are ranked 9 in the world and could qualify. Field hockey 16-32 athletes - Both teams are medal hopes and should qualify at the world qualification tournament. Football 0-18 athletes - No chance for the men's team and no official conformation on the women's. The introduction of the nations league qualification system should help. Golf 4-5 athletes - With the qualification system we are almost guaranteed to get 2 golfers per gender, the is a chance, albeit small one, that we can get 3 male golfers. Gymnastics Artistic - 10/10 athletes qualified at the worlds. Rhythmic - 0-1 athletes - Marfa Ekimova may qualify in the all-around. Trampoline - 2-3 athletes - Andrew Stamp for the men and Bryony Page and maybe Isabella Songhurst. Handball 0 athletes - No chance Judo 4-8 athletes - The women's side is very strong with Chelsie Giles (-52kg), Lele Nairne (-57kg), Lucy Renshall (-63kg), Katie Jemima Yeats-Brown (-70kg) and Natalie Powell (-78kg), all qualifying. On the men's side it is a different story with Lachlan Moorhead (-81kg) receiving a continental quota and Jamal Petgrave (-90kg), just sneaking in. Modern Pentathlon 3-4 athletes - I would expect to take a full set of quota places here, especially with Bath hosting the world championships. Rowing 40-48 athletes - We had a great world championships where we would have qualified in every race we entered. I'm expecting the same in 2023 with entrants in every class this time. Rugby seven's 12-24 athletes - On the women's side we are in contention from the world's sevens series, but if we don't then it's likely that spot will go to Ireland and we will claim it at the Europeans. For the men's we need Ireland to qualify from the series so we can get the European Spot. Sailing 12-14 athletes - We should claim quotas in every event but it is really hard to follow sailing so I can't tell what our strength is like right now. Shooting 5-9 athletes - We have already qualified 4 athletes: Amber Hill, Seonaid McIntosh, Nathan Hales, and Lucy Hall. We can definitely qualify Kirsty Hegarty and Aaron Heading in Trap, and Ben Llewellyn in Skeet. There is a chance for Sam William Gowin in Rapid Fire pistol. Skateboarding 2-3 athletes - Lola Tambling and Sky Brown should qualify in Women's Park, we could get someone else from the men's side. Sport Climbing 1-2 athletes - Hamish MacArthur and Max Milne should qualify. Swimming 30- 35 athletes - A mixture of old faces and new ones likely. Men's (16 athletes) 50m Free - Ben Proud and Lewis Burras should qualify 100m Free and 200m Free - Tom Dean , Duncan Scott, Jacob Whittle, James Guy and Matt Richards should qualify for the Relay 400m Free plus - Dan Jarvis and Callum Jervis Should qualify. 100m and 200m Backstroke - Luke Greenbank and Broady Williams 100m and 200m Breaststroke - Adam Peaty and James Wilby, 100m and 200m fly - Jacob Peters and the aforementioned James Guy 200m and 400m IM's - Max Litchfield along with some other already qualified Swimmers Open Water - Hector Pardoe Women's (15 athletes) 50m Free - Anna Hopkin 100m Free and 200m Free - Freya Anderson, Lucy Hope, Abbie Wood, Medi Harris, Tamyrn Van Selm and Holly Hibbot. 400m Free plus - Freya Colbert 100m and 200m Backstroke - Cassie Wild and Kathleen Dawson 100m and 200m Breaststroke - Imogen Clark 100m and 200m Fly - Laura Stevens 200m and 400m IM's - Alicia Wilson and Katie Shanahan Open Water - Alice Dearing Table Tennis 3-5 athletes - Pitchford, Drinkhall and Ho should qualify, a men's team has a chance and maybe Anna Hursey. Taekwondo 5-6 athletes - Women's 57kg, 67kg and +67kg should qualify, same for the men's 68kg and +80kg. Tennis 7-9 athletes - Norrie and Draper in men's singles, Raducanu in Women's and two men's doubles and one mixed doubles pair. Triathlon 5-6 athletes - 4 already qualified with one more women expected, hard but not impossible for the men. Weightlifting 2-4 athletes - Sarah Davies and Cyrille Thatchet have chances but Emily Campbell likely to qualify Totals (Change from previous prediction) Optimistic = 430 (+45) Pessimistic = 291 (+22) Expectation = 375+ (+25)

In terms of the table, on the website it says Colombia are ahead of GB but I thought it went down to head to head record?

Will this event be on youtube?
