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?

getting back to this to ask: what the heck is doing throwing away their chances at getting a pan-am quota?

Does anyone know what would happen in a tie?

I don't think Canada is safe. has 122 and will necessarily drop 8 points, going to 114. It could also replace an 8pt. has 149 will drop 20pt, going to 129pt and could only replace 18pt. has 92pt but will not drop or replace anything. So let's say for the sake of argument that Brazil and Canada will do 12th and 13th on the two next world Cups (as they did in Japan), but Chile would be 16th in both. Brazil would gain 22+22 (44), dropping 8pt from Cairo and replacing 8 from Acapulco. It would gain 28pt and go to 150pt. On another scenario, let's say Brazil finishes in 16th in the following World Cups. It would gain 18+18-8-8, going to 142pt. Canada would gain 21+21 (42), dropping 20pt from Cairo and replacing 18 from Istanbul. It would gain 4pt and go to 153pt. Chile would gain 18+18, going to 128pt. So Chile is almost out of the race and they would probaly need 4 top16 finishes (including in Istanbul last month) to be in the competition. But it could be a strong team for Los Angeles. It's hard to imagine Brazil going better than 12th, but if it finished around 12-14 on the next two World Cups, it could gain the American quota IF Canada is knocked out on first round in one of the two events (as they almost did in Japan)

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!
