Chinese Olympic trials begins tomorrow. The rules is to choose the any best result of 3 events to compare:

 

1: 2023 WCH individual event finals and meeting OG standard A

2: 2024 WCH individual event finals and meeting OG standard A

3: 2024 trials individual event finals and meeting OG standard A

 

So based on the past 2023 and 2024 WCH, following swimmers already have eligible results and green parts are almost safe enough to guarantee the tickets before the trials. For relay swimmers, mainly considering trials results.

 

Hey, by any chance have you done an update after the Chinese Nationals, plese?

That would be completely incomprehensible.

It is correct that no German 49er made the internal criteria, but why should they participate in a last chance regatta with only relevance Olympic quota with three (!!!) boats and finish on places 1,4 and 5 and then decline the quota. 

The same happened to Brazil, with their internal criteria. One journalist said that in order to have bigger storage room, the Brazilian sailing federation decided to forget their own rules and take all boats.

I still don't get how Austria and Switzerland can be a Developing Nation but Perú can't. That doesn't make any sense to me.

The developing nation is specific to countries that did not participated in that class in the last two editions. I agree with you that is a bit odd - at least in name. This is the full list

I like the idea, but perhaps should be give to countries without representation AT ALL?

For me he should have gotten a better QO. The Italians were 1 point better. Hong Kong is not an emerging country because it has obtained 2 other qualifications. This federation is ridiculous because it can`t establish clear qualification rules. They are turning it into one big circus with some quotas for continents, some specially treated nations, etc. It's just strange that Italy is always harmed: Chamizo, sailing, rowing, etc.

Well, they have a clear qualification rules, although one can oppose to it...

I understood now.
First of all, Australia rejected its quota on the Oceania championhsips.
Then the quotas went to the Developing Nations Program, not the Emerging Nations Program....

I wonder if there will be more races apart from medal race? If so, we could see changes

According to Czech sailing Federation, we are on the list of ENP. So even before the medal race, all the quotas have been decided.

They weren't so sure so I will explain their statement. Even I did not find any info that there will be quotas for ENP (at least according to wiki). 

 

Their counting and explanation: ENP are and speaking of nations that qualified for the medal race. Because won't be worse than 3rd, will get the direct quota. First ENP goes to :JPN, second to . As they also mentioned is not on the ENP list. They did their counting like this but they were not so sure. And also according to their words, this has been confirmed around 7pm. 

 

So in the 49erFX, the quotas should be

There are no ENP quotas on 49er and 49er FX...

Huh? I didn’t curse anyone 

 

In fact, I think it was just a fluke run of results going in my favor, during the Badminton Pan American Championships I tried jinxing the Canadian mixed doubles/women’s doubles pairings by saying they had no chance to qualify when both were pretty much even with the US pairings in the Olympic Rankings, and were only couple of points down in their respective semifinal matches but both lost lol. 

Don't forget your jinx against Camargo in the fencing OQC!

** In addition, Casper Puggaard also achieved an OCT and may be nominated for a universality quota.

I'm pretty sure Casper Puggaard is not elegible for the Universality quota as he was not on the Danish rooster for the 23 or 24 WC. Only Liggjas JOENSEN participated (representing Faroe Islands).

From the OQD I would assume they would select the Universality before the OCT, but one never knows.

I don't understand how the relay event will happen only 1h50 after the men's.

They could easily say "we're done" but it would be a bit odd I guess. I still believe they will take both relays, or at least ask them to do a tryout.  If they decide to take 30, those are my bet for the 7 extra, kind-of-on-order
 

 

I think there are 4 safer bets because either they won their races, or they would form relays

 

• Kieran Bird - M 400m Freestyle (OQT), not only he has an OQT and won the event, he could be a relay option, with his 6th on 4x200m Freestyle
• Angharad Evans W 100m Breaststroke (OQT), not only she won but she could form the 4x100m medley
• Eva Okaro - W 4x100m Freestyle (2nd- relay not qualified)
• Freya Anderson - W 4x100m Freestyle (3rd- relay not qualified) she could easily compete at  W 100m Freestyle, W 200m Freestyle and she was injured

 

 

Then I guess they could take these 3 to be options for relays, and 2 of them are big names

 

• James Wilby - M 100m Breaststroke (he could even participate in the individual with his OQT and would be a back-up for 4x100m medley)
• Jacob Whittle - M 4x100m 5th Swimmer?
• Jack McMillan - M 400m Freestyle (OQT), and he also would be a great option to swim in the heats for  4x200m Freestyle

Would be interesting to have a ranking of nations with the most athletes under the A standard. I was quite surprised to see that Japan has clearly more athletes under the A standard than GB.

I used to have a list, but many athletes are doubled as they have many A standards. Next time I update it will try to bring it here.

So assuming  get the world ranking quotas, currently 9 men and 11 women single quotas will be available through the World Rankings.

 

Of course, this may increase during the continental single qualifiers.

Is there any mathematical chance that other countries get the quota?

After all that bad press predicting disaster at Rio, it will be a bit curious if something like this happens in Paris.

I wonder if they would not do something to get a good water result in the previous days and go forward.

I'm a bit confused here 

 

let's consider the HKG player Wong, he won the mixed double quota here, but that doesn't automatically mean he can participate in the singles event too, right ? 

in this case he has to participate in East Asian qualifiers, what if he fails ? he still has a very good position in the WR to win a ranking quota. but even if he wins a "ranking quota" that doesn't occupy a quota because he already has XD quota and the place will go to the next guy in the ranking.

 

my question is can someone like him participate in the singles event ? someone who could win a ranking single quota but won a XD double quota before that.

My understanding is that he can only play XD, but if he qualifies in single as well, he can compete in singles AND his "double quota" gets reallocated to another single player so that TT can fill their number of quotas.

• Katie Shanahan - W 400m Individual Medley, W 200m Backstroke

 

Candidates for Priority 4 - Discretionary Picks

• Jacob Whittle - M 4x200m Freestyle

 

In addition to those athletes Tobias Robinson, who has already qualified in open water, will compete in the men’s 800m/1500m freestyle events despite not having matched the BST as it won’t impact the 30 swimmer cap. 

Only James Guy booked a ticket tonight, so we have 19 guaranteed athletes.
Luke Greenbank is also now on priority 5 with his 200m Backstroke. Let's say those 4 will be included and we would have a team of 23 (except Tobias Robinson).

They could easily say "we're done" but it would be a bit odd I guess. I still believe they will take both relays, or at least ask them to do a tryout.  If they decide to take 30, those are my bet for the 7 extra, kind-of-on-order

tbf it would probably not have made any difference... USA would still be behind Venezuela (by far)  and as Venezuela was not top4 they would not get the quota.

Another canadian quota in incredible circunstances, i have a "Panamerican shooting tournament" deja vu.

I just rewatched the point and it was totally absurd.

Not speaking as a Brazilian, but as someone with a bit of knowledge on fencing.

Several mistakes here (Zhang's knee in front of the foot, very poorly executed flèche... and he not only falls during the touch, but his back feet also lands first, so he does not reverse correctly...) 

He could even get a 2nd yellow card for that which would give the point to Camargo.

I think it is impossible for Zhang to lose its quota, but hopefully FIE would acknowledge the referee mistake, the same way they did with Kharlan at WC last year and guarantee Camargo an extra quota.

She can. The French woman has qualified on own merit(top 10) or may even opt to lift in 81kg where she's qualified. Host nation counted when athlete has not qualified normally (ie finished top 10)

yeah, but if the Frenchwomen opts for 81 (which will probably happen), then France will have quotas on 59 and 81, right?

The 2 Host Nation quotas would be then at 71 and either 59/81 (IWF will choose) and Universality quotas would go to 49, +81 and 59/81. I think so, at least lol
