It was a tough repechage but they haven't looked at their best this week and when Australia made their move in the final quarter, they just had no response. There are 2 more quotas available at next year's final regatta but unless something dramatically shifts over the winter, can't see GB qualifying. They do have a pretty strong under 23 sculler - Miles Devereux (who is in Serbia and should have been allowed to compete in the single sculls) - who could come into the crew.

Taekwondo Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
Rafa Maciel replied to Totallympics's topic in Taekwondo
Think it is likely you'll still end up with 3-4 quotas - you've got 1 through the world ranking but Iran is one of the few nations who are also in the mix for the Grand Slam Champions Series and you have the Continental Qualifiers so overall not a bad position to be in. -
Taekwondo Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
Rafa Maciel replied to Totallympics's topic in Taekwondo
Cunningham has probably had the strongest summer of all the British fighters - with back to back victories at the European Games and the Rome Grand Prix. My back of a fag packet calculation suggest that his silver medal in Paris will see him move up into 4th place in the world ranking and will put him into an Olympic qualifying spot. If - and it is a big if - he can stay healthy over the winter, and gets a decent draw, he's going to be in the mix for a medal in Paris. Lauren Williams had a decent result this weekend compared to her recent performances and she came very close to getting through to quarter finals so I think she'll take a lot of positives away from the competition particularly if she feels she is back to full fitness. She's currently about 80 points shy of a quota spot so she has a pretty steep mountain to climb but it isn't impossible - a lot will come down to whether she is going to go chasing the points at the various G1 level events through the early autumn. If she does go to the lower-level tournaments, it's not inconceivable that it could all come down to her performance in the Grand Prix Final in Manchester - but unfortunately I think she is going to come up short and miss out on Paris. Not sure what the story is with Bianca Cook this summer - think she has been nursing an injury and hasn't competed since the European Games. Her inactivity has seen her drop to world number 3 whereas McGowan has quietly been going about business and racking up the wins with bronze at Rome Grand Prix and now silver in Paris. If the selectors were meeting this month, I think the nod would go to McGowan. -

Rowing Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
Rafa Maciel replied to Totallympics's topic in Rowing
would be guaranteed quotas for both the men's single sculls and the women's single sculls but these would only come into play if France were unable to qualify any boats through World Champs or the other qualifying regattas. Given strong likelihood that France will qualify a handful of boats, the quotas for single sculls will be reallocated to the final qualifying regatta. -

You seem very bullish on Irish prospects - looks like you expect all of the Irish boats to qualify except for both of the Fours. I am intrigued how you have assessed the form for those crews which have not raced this season across the World Cup or European champs? In the women's pair for example you have the Irish boat finishing in 4th but they haven't raced together this season and the two previous Irish boats that have been fielded recorded a 6th in World Cup II and 7th at Euro Champs.

Modern Pentathlon UIPM African/Oceanian Championships 2023
Rafa Maciel replied to Totallympics's topic in Modern Pentathlon
That will be Egypt's second quota on the men's side and first on the women's so there wont be any need to reallocate to the Olympic Ranking List. -
It is going to be interesting to see how the crews adapt to the shorter course - so many of them use the 3rd 500 to establish themselves in the race.

Think I read somewhere that the course for LA2028 is only going to be 1500m
