Regarding the new ranking I don't understand how the 5 Team Invitations quota were awarded. If my thought is correct: Austria (M-73kg), Azerbaijan (W+70kg), Canada (W+70kg), Cuba (W-57kg), Georgia (W-70kg), Germany (M-73kg), Kazhakstan (W-70kg), Serbia (M-73kg) had 5 quotas so were elegibe to the team invitation. Those were the best athletes from each of the missing categories ordered by points: Germany: Igor WANDTKE (73kg, 1518pt) - European quota Serbia: Strahinja BUNCIC (66kg, 1384pt) - Returned quota #1 Kazakhstan: Esmigul KUYULOVA (63kg, 976pt) - Asian quota Cuba: Arnaes ODELIN GARCIA (57kg, 876pt) - American quota Austria: Marcus AUER (60kg, 454 pt) - Returned quota #2 Georgia: Eter ASKILASHVILI (63kg, 279pt) Canada: Coralie GODBOUT (78kg, 220pt) Azerbaijan: Narmin AMIRLI (78kg, 112pt) or Nigar SULEYMANOVA (+78kg, 112pt) Apparently through the IJF rankings website, Cuba (Americas), Georgia (Europe) and Kazhakistan (Asia) are getting the two quotas and Germany and Austria are with the returned quotas. So basically I don't understand how Georgia managed to get one of those quotas instead of Serbia. Or am I missing something here? And I wonder if other countries from Oceania will manage to send athletes to enter the rankings and fill the other quotaS? Thank you so much!

it sure does look like they will say "no thanks, let's have more europeans in paris"

but curiously events in Russia and Belarus count for the olympic ranking/quota, but so far no swimming event in Russia was "Green-lighted". Perhaps the russians will start to swim in other countries (Doha?) and finally will get their quotas.

I get it, and I can see why one or another country would boycott it (although I don't like it). The same way as Cuba and Albania boycotted Seoul 1988 in defense of North Korea.

they don't do this anymore. As in BMX cycling, where a guy from RSA was the last at World Championships and guaranteed a quota to Paris.

In Portuguese: https://olimpiadatododia.com.br/paris-2024/565535-coi-libera-russos-belarrussos-competir-paris-2024/

no idea... by my numbers: BLR has 1 in cycling, 2 in wrestling, 1 in rowing RUS has 2 in cylcing, 4 in wresting, 5 in athletics. but not sure if they counted athletics and swimming on it - as it's no direct quota.

I truly don't understand how they are so enraged by Russian / Belarussian participation and don't condemn other "agressor" countries with "blood on their hands". And I love how people just throw the card "IOC does not know what Olympism is all about", as some say that the Pope is not a "real catholic" and so on. One can just point out how Olympism has its flaws as a philiopshy without point out how it just knows all about it.

All individuals. From my understanding of what is not fully written: Russian and Belarus athletes can not form pairs (as in tennis doubles, etc). And they will get invitations to sports in which the qualification is already finished or has sidelined them (gymnastics comes first in my mind, but boxing etc). Would be more intersting if they could still attend olympic qualifiers (as in boxing, or gymnastics world cup) instead of gaining straight quota.

Thank you so much!!! So, the quotas will only be confirmed in January?? Or probably WTF (lol) will release a new ranking this week?

Is this right? https://worldtkd.simplycompete.com/playerRankingV2?limit=25&pageNo=1&month=11&year=2023&rankingCategoryId=11ea9376-a372-b902-aefb-0af9674366aa&subCategory1=11ea9376-4530-2b19-aefb-0af9674366aa&rankingTypeId=11ea9376-1b54-af01-aefb-0af9674366aa According to this Rafalovich is the 5th and Maicon went down to 11th? I guess it was not updated yet?

Guys, last minute question. How many points does the Grand Slam next week offers? In the 80kg, for instance, I see the Iranian is leader with 750, but can a champion take the place? and just to clarify, since the official document is not very clear, only the ones not qualified through the ranking are eliegible, right? thanks!

On the 66kg Marissa Williamson is also on the final, but not really sure who will take the silver medal lol

So, is this our take on the event? Men C1 1000- TUNISIA Ghailene Khattali C2 500m ANGOLA Manuel Antonio, Benilson Sanda K1 1000m MOROCCO? K2 500m SOUTH AFRICA Women K1- EGYPT K2- SOUTH AFRICA C1- SENEGAL Combé Seck C2 500m NIGERIA Ayomide Bello Powei, Otuedo Beauty We had paralympic quotas as well?

We still have no official report on this competition? what a mess!!! thank you all for all the infos found and sent here!!!

ah ok! but just to be clear, one would also need the BJK etc quota for the Legacy quota. She can get it if she's below the last direct olympic quota, but i guess that's unlikely. And again, this is just a way to let national federations dismiss qualified athletes...

How is Svitolina in this discussion? Either way, Swiatek or Svitolina won't need the LEgacy quota, they can get it with ranking points easily. But remember that legacy quota is an addendum to the rankings, so the same rules & conditions apply. The legacy quota is only an "extra" to garantee that someone under 70 or so and up top 400 in the rankings goes to the Olympics. The "national team conditions" are the same either through direct ranking, Legacy or universality... if she is number 1 or 20 and doesn't get the ranking direct quota she is NOT elegible for the legacy.

Sometimes I think about providing Olympic consulting to small nations in the Pacific and Africa. Not sure if they are interested, but if they properly read Olympic Qualification Documents they could even double up their number of athletes...

wow, priceless!!! amazing <3

How is this all Iga/Fed Cup is being played in Poland? this requirement is pretty stupid tbh and if the Polish Tennis Association is ok with her not participating they can always tell ITF that it was a technical decision, etc. In the end, the tennis association will choose if she's allowed or not. the 2 legacy champs/grand slams are also decided on merits of ranking, so if PTA rules her out, she's out - but i doubt it.

Actually, Pan American Games were the qualifier for Americas!!! I guess USA keeps trying to have its own confederation so they could go as well, as they don't stand a chance with Argentina, Brazil and Chile...

So, I have put my Japanese to test and all good now. Here is the link with all results. Results for MC1 - HANEDA Takuya (JPN), gold Results for MK1 - WU Shao-Hsuan (TPE), 4th place as Japan and China had quotas. Results for WC1 - HUANG Juan (CHN), gold Results for WK1 - CHANG Chu-Han (TPE), bronze as China had already a quota at the event and Japan a quota at the discipline

Is there some place with the results? If I'm on the right link, only Japanese athletes contested the MC1? if so, the event would not be valid.

take the TT quota as the one for mixed doubles in tennis. Only athletes with a quota to RR can participate in it.

I had noted here after the Worlds that Ognjen Ilic (SRB) could also get a quota through his result at time trial, but this doesn't make sense right? Rereading the guide now and only Road Race results are counted.
