    Benolympique reacted to mrv86 in Diving FINA World Cup 2021   
    It’s 68 quotas per gender, considering all events.
     
    Sadly, diving has one of the most hole filled qualification systems amongst other disciplines.
     
    In principle, any non qualified diver who makes it to the semifinals in individuals (top 18 after prelims) should be considered qualified.
     
    However, if the NOC has already 1 or 2 divers in said event, then no other diver from same NOC can obtain another quota in that specific event; e.g. Woo Haram can’t add another place for Korea in either 3m or 10m as it has qualified in either, even if he makes it into semis.
     
    So considering now we have 34 quotas in men and 33 in women assigned to individual divers from prior qualification events, plus the 32 that are/will be assigned to pairs in synchro, well that left 2/3 “numerical” quotas in men/women, we’ll have to wait until confirmation of nominal entries to ser who gets the final spots, as some but not all pf the individuals are likely to compete in more than one event.

    Benjamin Auffret to announce his retirement following major back problems, Matthieu Rosset returned from his retirement (practices the 3m springboard) to try to qualify on the high-flight at 10m, but I don't think there is will happen, and concerning France I had hoped for 3 quotas but it seems impossible

    Benolympique reacted to mrv86 in Archery WA World Cup 2021   
    Yes they have, and they should have some home field advantage.
     
    However in both cases won’t be easy, as the men knock out have at least 8 teams with a similar level. Yet I expect the French to be one of the 3 survivors in both genders

    About prediction of Chinese Women's team, two lifters are 100% safe by their perfect performance, 87+ Li Wewen and 87- Wang Zhouyu. So Hou Zhihui, Liao Qiuyun and Zhang Wangli are competing for 2 tickets by their relatively good performance. Personally, I will pick Hou Zhihui and Liao Qiuyun. Hou Zhihui broke 2 WR including the total weight record, it's her advantages over other 2 lifers. Liao Qiuyun won over Li by her last attempt, showing her good competing quality even though not showing full potential. Also She is the real world champion not obtained by other's absence. So she is more deserved this ticket in terms of fairness. Zhang Wangli's performance is good enough to be the champion only if North Korea withdraws, it's unpredictable and somehow like a gift. I think the team don't like that feeling given they have other choice. As for Deng Wei, I will not count her in due to her absence and injury. She is a back-up choice now.
     
    So in short, my choice: Li Wenwen, Wang Zhouyu, Hou Zhihui and Liao Qiuyun.

    Prithika is just 16 years old. I think by 20 or 24 she could be the one of the best table tennis players in the world. She was born in Pondicherry, India which is a French colony and like many others  studied in a French School and later went to France and settled down.
