Guys, do you know what is supposed to be the "Last Race" tomorrow? is it a consolation race for those outside the medal race or worth points?

According to this profile, the nationality of the Bulgarian athlete was challenged, since she is Russian. Also, Vasileia Karachaliou was denied change of nationality by the Greek Olympic Committee President, so not sure what this means. Does Greece or Portugal keep her quota?

No, on the last day. (Editing for clarity: Tuesday is the last day. Medal race on Wednesday) But something strange happened. They published a revised fleet. The bulgarian sailor is simply GONE. They only consider 101 boats. So all the previous results are also updated. This means that Gabriella Kid is on the gold fleet. So: for the 7 quotas Here is the revised https://onb.ilca.roms.ar/ilca6women2024/images/onbdocs/Fleet_Assignment_for_Monday_8th_January_2024_REVISED.pdf

I was thinking about this... So far only Fiji media has published this? Perhaps the Fiji Sailing Federation and athletes don't know the rules or they are trying to put forward the news. I will try to contact World Sailing regarding this (has someone already tried?) but I don't think they would respond...

Tomorrow is the last day before they divide between gold/silver, so it may narrow down a bit to 9 or 10 boats in contention.

Can't find no one from Kuwait on the entry list, I guess she has withdrew? And Switzeerland already has a quota through the WC. Thailand also is eligible. So, if my count is right 45 athletes from 29 countries battling for the 7 quotas.

Hasn't Fiji won a quota as well on Men's ICLA 7?

As Brazil will lose its team quota, will João Victor win an individual quota from Panam Games? This would mean that Svenja Grimm from Chile will end up missing her quota, right?

They shouldn't have been banned in the first place, all this situation is a total mess. Let's see what happens. They mention specifically "The Individual Neutral Athletes will be invited by the IOC and their respective IFs. Only a very limited number of athletes will qualify through the existing qualification systems of the IFs. " I guess they are good enough to get the quotas through the WC (1 men and 1 women), but they had this "invitations" ready here. I'm sure fencing, for instance, will use it.

If I'm not mistaken, we already had 3 World Cups this year and we should have two more (Baku and Cottbus), but I see we will also have a World Cup in the Netherlands in April. Do you guys know if it will also count for the Olympic ranking? thanks!

I'm sure they will get wild cards (maybe 1 per NOC?) now that the IOC has promised it.

I'm about to do this for the website I write, whenever is ready I send it on the swimming page

As @Larajasaid he would get both quotas. But World Skateboarding does not have any prevision for what would happen with the "missing" quota. USA could not take another skater as they would have 3 on park and 3 on street. But could we have 23 athletes on street so Skateboarding would have 88 athletes in total? it is possible.

Hey @vinipereirahere are my votes. Thank you so much for the extension! Should I also send you by DM? I'm surprised I'm the first person to mention skateboarding? It is curious because I wanted to include some of them on "Breakthrough" but as they had less than 18 years I had to somehow nudge them all on the youth!

I've heard from the Brazilian Federation that the Brazilians will not compete in Europe anymore this year, so for Brazil the road is over. One of the main sport journalists ran this story today But I would love to know about other countries as well.

Brazil will lose its Team Quota in Dressage. Is there any list to check which athletes and therefore which nations already have the MER filled? And I'm not sure how the reallocation of individual quotas happens, as in: the individual distribution of quotas happen only after the team reallocation?

The new bulletin answered that. Basically many many points. We will have the pro tour in Dubai in march and then OQS in Xangai and Budapest for both park ans street

I would assume they just didn't bother to go there.

So, just to be clear, in a scenarion in which an athlete at the top5 in the rankings also gets to be number 1 in the Grand Slam Rankings. Would he/she get a quota through the Rankings? and the second place at Grand Slam would qualify? Or the athlete would qualify through the GS and the 6th ranked athlete would get the quota? According to Brazilian Taekwondo Federation, Maicon will not go to Wuxi. Only 6 athletes who were already travelling to the Team World Cup competed plus one who did the trip by himself. The logics of the federation is that they went bad at the first Grand Slam they did not have a chance at the Olympic Quota so it did not make any sense to travel there. Instead they will focus on the Pan-American Qualifier I think this was a bad thing to do, specially for Icaro and Maicon who could still win a quota in case they won.

I have a couple of questions regarding Olympic quota here, sorry if they are obvious! 1- Will the point system for Wuxi 2 be the same for the Wuxi Grand Slam in march? 2- World Taekwondo only promotes Grand Slam events in Wuxi? WTF? 3- So, if the rankings will be released only in January what happens when athletes classify via Grand Slam and rankings? where does the reallocation takes place? thank you so much :D

Is someone (or totallympics lol) doing a live rankings during the tournament ? i will try to do it, but don't want to waste so many hours hahaha (May December reference, sorry)

I will try to do live scoring for the rankings. I guess many skateboarders can guarantee a top44 finish after this. We still don't know how many points will be up for grabs in the OQS, right?

Is there any link with the results for this tournament? Can't find them on world taekwondo

Thank you so much. I edited the post. I've looked at the scenario for the pan-am quota at lenght here (in portuguese) and the scenario for other quotas in Americas. For now: 15 10 3 2 1

I miss the days in which Americas had 2 quotas. I guess it would be more fair to each continent have 1 individual quota and the 2 best continents have a 2nd quota?
