Apart from the direct Olympic quotas, ISA games are also important to define Universality elegibility. An athlete must be top50 in either the WSG23 or WSG24. In 2023, 4 athletes were top50, 3 men from El Salvador, 1 woman from Nicaragua. MEN 33 Porfirio Miranda 49Bryan Perez 49Daniel Monterrosa If I'm not mistaken all surfers that go through round 3 and/or repechage 4 will be top50 (top54 more precisely). On men's side, Liam Wilson, Yeferson Lopez Oscar Guzman and Cody Merritt are still on the repechage round 2. WOMEN 13 Candelaria Resano All female surfers qualified to round3 and repechage 4 are top48, so even 3rd places on repechage 3 (tomorrow) are elegible (49-56). If I'm not mistaken only Lucy Jarrard is still on the run (qualified to repechage r3), besides Resano. Perez and Resano participated on a training camp in Teahupo'o last year and I guess they would be favorites for the quotas, but not sure how Perez is doing now.

But perhaps wouldn't be the case of those countries read the OQD beforehand and send new athletes? I like the idea of Universality quotas not being given to the same athlete over and over.

Is this an official selection, right? as all the 3 of them already had quotas!

I've tallied up athletes that qualified in both events. Obviously some of those athletes could choose to focus only in one event and the quotas would not be reallocated. As some countries that qualified with different athletes (as in UK) could end up choosing to double up someone. But, objectively speaking, athletes won a quota for their countries in synchronized and individual: M3m Springboard: 8 (including Jules Bouyer, from France, who had already a quota in sync but participated in the event) M10m Platform: 10 W3m Springboard: 8 W10m platform: 8 Apparently (according to wikipedia, Osmar Olvera and Rylan Wiens are confirmed to double up). Considering only the finalists we have already 143 (7 extras from the 136). So, if really 34 athletes double-up, we would have 27 more quotas. 17 or 18 of them would go to the semifinalists (as Sofiia LYSKUN could also double-up), and we would have 9 or 10 more quotas. If there are 10 quotas, this would mean that all 22th and better would be in the Olympics. Curiously 34 finalists double up (from 48 athletes), but only 1 of the 24 semifinalists, and none until the 22th. Sorry if it is in Portuguese, but the green ones are "guaranteed" and the yellow are the other finalists According to the counts above (obviously not official AT ALL), the semifinalists plus the ones in purple would get in (the Ukranian is double-up)

They could easily get the IOC invitations, specially one or two divers.

Apparently, FINA was interpreting the rule in a way to give Korea and Israel the quota. But some noise is being made for them to properly read their own document and so it is still uncertain.

Basically that is what our Brazilian journalist in location reported. But I still think it is not written properly. It doesn't say explicity that only gold/silver could get the quota and Brazil/Kaz should fight for their quotas.

I also think that if 2 athletes qualified on individual they should also have the permission in the syncro... And in the end, this thing is very messy. it doesn't make too much sense 2 athletes win quotas in syncro and then the same two win in individual and the country have the possibility of taking 4 athletes.... it should be like canoeing. If you win in syncro you can participate in the individual and open up quotas automatically.

We think so, but that's not official at all. Actually, not even finalists are safe, at least officially now. The official document is very very very clear that in no way it will be possible to have more than 136 athletes. At the beginning of the WC we already had 90 quotas distribuited from host country, Fukuoka and Continental Golds. As the Syncro quotas are guaranteed, we will have 32 more, so 122. This means, only 14 quotas will be definitely officially given right now. In the women's plataform we had 4 finalists in. For the men's at least 4... The NOCs will have 2 weeks to confirm the quotas and than reallocation process begins. China for instance (and other countries) probably will have 16 quotas, but will take 9, 10 athletes. I'm not really sure about 2 things: 1- Do the countries have to nominate their athletes now or can China (and other countries) accept the 16 athletes and can in June/July say "here we will only have 9 athletes, thanks". Or do they have to nominate their athletes now? What I think: If we count all the finalists we will have a bit more than 140 athletes, with 5-10 exceding. I THINK the World Aquatics will confirm all those quotas, knowing that in the end they will have less then 136. And ONLY then they will start to invite the semifinalists. 2- The reallocation will go through the position of the semifinal (as in: first all the 13th, then 14th, then 15th, etc?). Or will they try to adjust first the 4 individual events in the number of athletes? I think it will be the first.

Does he have any chance at the individual?

that's how you jinx it hahaha but was an amazing sommersault indeed

Mexico is back in the game!

The German federation also reported that. From my understanding the continental quotas should only go to countries NOT YET qualified. But reallocations from non-represented continents and host country could go to countries with only 1.

Germany and Japan could not get a quota through continental qualification for their continents BUT i believe the reallocated quota from Oceania could go to Germany

Do you guys know if the combined results will be only from the finals? will they combine the points or position? from que qualis or finals? thanks!

No, only the medal race doubles the points. It happened the same thing with the women's ilca 6 wc a few weeks ago!

Actually the top10 sailors race in the medal race, but the others still have one more race to compete. The gold fleet starts without the top10. So the winner will be 11th. this is here, on 7.4 : https://onb.ilca.roms.ar/ilca7men2024/images/onbdocs/SAILING_INSTRUCTIONS_Amendment_1.pdf They even posted Wednesday order of race: https://onb.ilca.roms.ar/ilca7men2024/images/onbdocs/Notice_06_-_Plan_for_Wednesday_31_January.pdf So, if i haven't made any mistake, taking into account the discard, Guatemala, Montenegro, Chile and Denmark already secured the quotas. So Brazil and Argentina get the reallocated continental ones. 13-🇬🇹Juan Maegli 98pt (max de 129) 21-🇲🇪Milivoj Dukic 118pt (máx de 170) 24-🇨🇱Clemente Seguel 123pt (máx de 168) 25-🇩🇰Johan Lundgaard Schubert 124pt (máx de 151) 26-🇮🇳Vishnu Saravanan 125pt (máx de 174) - by 1 point he is still out of a secured quota 28-🇹🇷Yigit Yalcin Citak 146pt (máx de 188) 30-🇸🇪Emil Bengtson 161pt (máx de 207) 31-🇭🇰Nicholas Halliday 163pt (máx de 207) 33-🇲🇾Khairulnizam Mohd Afendy 165pt (máx de 218) 38-🇦🇷Francisco Guaragna Rigonat 184pt (máx de 236) 39-🇲🇪2️⃣ Ilija Markovic 186pt (máx de 233) 40-🇨🇦Luke Ruitenberg 199pt (máx de 247) 42-🇸🇬Ryan Lo 207pt (máx 253) 44-🇺🇲Ford Mccann 209pt (máx 261) 46-🇺🇲2️⃣Marshall Mccann 216pt (máx 255) 47-🇦🇷2️⃣Facundo Olezza 218pt (máx 270) 48-🇨🇭Gauthier Verhulst 223pt (máx 275) 49-🇵🇷Pedro Fernandez 224pt (máx 266) 51-🇹🇷2️⃣Berkay Abay 244pt (máx 296)

In an unexpected turn of events, Caroline Gomes dos Santos was awared a ranking quota. Brazilian Taekwondo Federation says that because France chose this quota, it was reallocated, but that only makes sense if World Taekwondo realized there were no universality places (if I understand well via F2, as France won 2 quotas, its Host Nation quotas would be reallocated via Universality)

As it was discussed in the first page of this topic, only a tournament with 3 eligible nations serves as Olympic qualifier. I think lol

If I'm not mistaken, the reallocation would go to: MK1Hannes Aigner WK1Carole Bouzidi WC1Klaudia ZWOLINSKA Obviously as mentioned above, many quotas will be declined to allow athletes to double/triple-up during the Paris games.

If I'm not mistaken, Brodie CRAWFORD got this one? https://siwidata.com/canoe123/live?SessionKey=auscanoe.2024012500

wow that's so sad!! I truly believe that this is one of the "hidden legacies" of Rio Olympics. Surto Olímpico, for instance, started in the leading up to the Games, Olimpíada Todo Dia was created a bit after that. Some of the journalists had a bigger platform in the big media, etc. In the late 90s/early 00, the biggest sports newspapers had lot of pages devoted to olympic sports, but now the big media is basically football as well.

Hey guys/gals, I thought we could share here good websites from each country that follow Olympic sports in a more local level. Places where olympic athletes, sports, results, national leagues and politics are covered in depth. I will start with Brazil Olimpíada Todo Dia - The main website that covers Olympic sports (I may be biased because I write for it ). Created after the Rio 2016 Olympics (could it be a legacy then? lol). The main focus is Brazilian (olympic) sports in all levels. Besides the website it is particularly strong on instagram and tiktok. Surto Olímpico - Created in 2011, the first of its sort. Besides the website, it has a very strong presence on Twitter. Covers mostly elite sports, both in Brazil and international. ps: also biased, as I worked there from 19 to 21. Globo Esporte (GE.com)- From Grupo Globo, the main media conglomarate in Brazil. It covers all sports, and don't necessarily focus on Brazilian sports, but they have an Olympic page. One of the columnists, Guilherme Costa, has a blog focused on Olympic qualification and also an "Olympic thermometer". He is also strong on twitter. UOL Esporte- As Globo, it covers sports in general. Its Olympic staff produces specials from time to time (like this incredible piece on Daniele Hypolito by Beatriz Cesarini) and also it's home to the columnist Demétrio Vecchioli, who writes for Olhar Olímpico also with a strong presence on Twitter -, notorious for his focus on Sports politics. Besides those websites (sorry if I'm forgetting someone), Os Olímpicos by Saulo Próspero and Marcio Melo famously cover Olympic qualification from start ot finish. Chapolins Brasileiros is a twitter and instagram account by the best organized fanclub for olympic sports in Brazil. They travel around the world since the 2011 pan American Games. Most recently, Piu Esportes also started as a strong twitter account and now is moving towards general media, with a youtube channel. Also worthy of mention is Brazilian Olympic Committee, with a speedy presence on social media through its trademark Time Brasil, specially twitter and instagram - obviously only highlighting the positive side of Brazilian sports. If you understands well Portuguese or wants to learn, the best way is to hear Rumo ao Pódio with Globo Esporte's journalists Guilherme Costa, Marcel Merguizzo and Giovana Pinheiro. Duplo Twist Hablado is a fantastic podcast devoted to Gymnastics, and is also very active on twitter. And Surto Olímpico and Olimpíada Todo Dia also have spotify profiles and Time Brasil on Youtube. Speaking of specific sports, Tênis Brasil and Best Swimming are absolutely the best. The latter is headed by Coach Alex Pussieldi, with a very active presence on twitter and instagram. On Brazilian volleyball, be in clubs or national team, a good option is Portal Vôlei, active on twitter and instagram. For Winter Games, Brasil Zero Grau by Gustavo Longo is the main source of information and analysis. For academics, I recommend to follow the work of Grupo de Estudos Olímpicos (GEO) by USP - University of São Paulo - who releases biannualy the Olimpianos, the Journal of Olympic Studies - with articles in English and Portuguese.

Can't believe that Barber is gone! During the 2015 Pan Am Games I sent a couple of athletes friends request on facebook. He not only accepted but was always super friendly and during the Rio Games we chatted a bit more and he even wrote he would try to get me tickets for the pole vault final. Was super happy to read his come out post on facebook in the spring of 17, but hard to know what was it about. Afterwards he disappeared from social media and his results got a bit behind as well.

I'm keeping this list with the names of all athletes with quota. Not sure yet how I will do as some countries are already deciding their quotas (as Japan in marathon). Probably keep in other page, or in bold, or a different color. https://olimpiadatododia.com.br/paris-2024/523477-lista-de-atletas-com-indice-olimpico-no-atletismo-para-paris-2024/ (and this list is not updated since end of 23).
