dobar_73

As expected, good start for   , and also for  at the European U19 Championships.
 
We won our heats in JM1X, JM2X, JW2X and I'd honestly be surprised if we didn't win gold in those events. We also won our heat in JM2- and should win a medal tomorrow but I don't know yet what colour.
 
JW2- a little disappointing, but they were in a tough heat and still qualified for the final.
 
JM4- also a little disappointing but made the final. I'm not sure why 3 of our rowers were switched out at the last minute, maybe the original guys got Covid or something?
 
JW4X no words, 7 crews and they were the only ones who couldn't make the final. I'm not sure why they were chosen when I think we have better girls who stayed home, but also they are a young team, Mouratidou for example in the bow seat is only 15. Hopefully changes are made for the World Championships.

@dobar_73yes, but has to overcome both Kuharic and Gambaro. She need a top15.

Olga Danilovic won the Balkan derby over Donna Vekic 0-6 7-5 7-6(8) after 3 hours and 11 minutes!
 
Vekic served for the match twice and led 6-2 in the Super TB but she blew that one away.
 
 

Danilovic has a very good draw to make the quarterfinals, if she does it she will be the first Serbian woman to make a slam QF since Ana Ivanovic at RG 2015!

I think Buncic is safe 

Announced their team, even though qualifiers are not yet done,
 
Nikolić u48
Perišić u57
Žabić +78
 
Bunčić u66
Majdov u90
Kukolj u100
 
All who you would expect through ranking, but the thing is that Bunčić is in the Continental Quota and there are still Opens to go. He is one of the lower ones and could fall out depending on a vast variety of circumstances. These circumstances hopefully won't happen, but thought I might just mention it. 
 

He is also registered for Continental Opens in   .
 
???

Teddy Riner  has registered for Abidjan African Open 

Serbia came back to the group event after 6 years, 
.........
At least we were not last. 

W 63kg
 

 
18th direct quota to be decideed between
Maylin del Toro Carvajal goes to 3036 with the R16.
Amina Belkadi goes to 3012 and still has a 10 & 20 to replace. She is slotted to take part in Abidjan Open and would need a 5th place (with a victory) to go to 3038.
 
M 81kg

*new entry
Timur Arbuzov jumped through the rankings with his silver medal. His CQ for AIN will go to Dali Liluashvili from 63kg (239pt)
 
UNGVARI ATTILA is out of a directo quota, in 19th with 3186 points. He will probably get CQ from VEG Zsombor (100kg, 2607pt). Unless he get it back tomorrow (through direct quota or even reallocation), Hungary will only have 4 direct athletes and lose its right to earn a Team Invitation
 
Just noting that Timo Cavelius gets the continental quota for Germany and he becomes the first male gay judoka qualified for OG ( in the lack of a rainbow flag hahaha)
 
 
W 70kg
 
*
 
*new entry
Gabriella Willems goes to 2614 with the 5th place
 
and Maya Goshen out with 2472. As Shira Rishony got a 48kg direct quota, Goshen has the continental quota so far if Butbul remains with the direct quota in the 73kg (see above). If he loses, the continental quota is his and Goshen will go to the reallocation lot (see below)

M 90kg
 

 
several contenders were close by but nothing changed here
 
W 78kg
 

 
18th quota momentarily with
Loriana Kuka 1873pt
but can be obtained by
Moira de Villiers 1832pt (she is injured and missed the worlds and still has a 10 + 6 + 6 in her points. She is supposed to go to Tahiti Open and a bronze medal will do - will take her to 1876)
Vanessa Chala 1656pt, but has 2 blank spaces on her ranking and one 70, so she can go to 1886 - if she wins 3 Opens around the world in 5 weeks lol
 
Both cases are curious:
 
 
Moira de Villiers has a continental quota so far, but has to hope Sydnee Andrews keeps her direct quota tomorrow (2300pt) in a fierce competition.
 
If Moira eventually wins a quota and Sydnee remains with her direct quota, the continental quota will go to Maarten de Ridder (81kg, 309pt) and may shake some things in the Oceania quota (see above) and reallocation quota (see below)
 
Ecuador is a curious case because they have 4 strong athletes fighting for one continental quota and who have not travelled enough. Besides Chala we have
 
70kg Celinda Corozo with 1264pt with 160 + 36 + 20 + 0 + 0  (!)
66kg Lenin Preciado with 1123 but with 50 + 36 + 20 + 0 + 0 (!)
+100kg Freddy Figueroa with 1041 but with 100 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 (he is not in Abu Dhabi).
 
Have no idea why they have not travelled more, even in regional Opens... they could have easily 2 or 3 quotas. 
 
And this is how we stand with the reallocation rankings 

 
Female
 
1- Natasha Ferreira (48kg) 2694pt
2- Katharna Menz (48kg) 2642pt - She still can add 80pt if she wins an Open, passing Ferreira.
3- Ana Viktorija PULJIZ (52kg) 2490pt - could still get a continental quota depending on 100kg)
*4- Maya Goshen out with 2472 - she can still ad 80pt if she wins an Open, passing Puljiz (if Butbul gets the continental quota in 73kg instead of Goshen)
4- Shukurjon Aminova (57kg) 2474pt
4- Taís Pina (70kg) 2341 still competing or Telma Monteiro (58kg, 2306, but could still add 80pt at an Open)
 
 
male (less sure, but)
 
Igor Wandtke 2702pt, 73kg) - so far, with a Team Invitation quota - I think reallocation happens first if a male quota is available
VEG Zsombor (100kg, 2607pt, still competing)
Magdiel Estrada 2265pt (could still get a CQ quota, depending on 63kg)- he has defected, but will keep him for now.
Marcus Nyman (90kg, 2208 - he still has a 10 and 20 to replace on the rankings)
Enej MArinic (+100kg, 2153pt, still competing)
 
 
I believe we have for now  remain eligible for the Team - I though Hungary had lost it, but they can still have a team with 52kg, 63kg and 70kg with women and 81, 90 and remains with the TI for 73)

beat  3:1
 
Roughly +5 points on WRL list for us. Not too much, but we need to make a bigger gap between us and Cuba.
 
 beat  in an intense 3:2 game

How is reallocation working so far?
 
All continents have enough countries and wil take full quotas, except Oceania.
 
This is the current situation:
 
 
Australia 1st male quota
 
2 secure direct quotas (Katherina Haecker, 63kg), Aoife Coughlan 70kg
 
M 60kg: Joshua KATZ 1500pt (not sure why he was not at the Worlds)
W 52kg: Tinka EASTON 1415pt (she has 10pts to discard, so if the wins an Open will go to 1505)
Both are slotted for Tahiti Open. Therefore Katz needs only to win one fight (or hope Easton will not win it). They could still obviously compete in others.
 
New Zealand 1st female quota
2 athletes could still win direct quots:
 
W 78kg Moira de Villiers, wth 1832. She is injured but should go to Tahiti Open, where she could go to 1926 and potentially get the last quota (depends on what happens at the Worlds)
W +78kg Sydnee Andews, for now with the last direct quota with 2300pt 
 
81kg Maarten de Ridder with 309pt may still be dreaming with the continental quota, but he is not on the Worlds and does not appear to be registrated in any Open.
 
Fiji 2nd male quota
 
M 100kg Tevita Takayawa with 246pt appears to have the quota on his hands. Gerard Takayawa (+100kg, 92pt) and Shanice Takayawa (70kg, 64) need 2 strong performances in Opens.
 
Guam 2nd female quota
 
Maria Escano (57kg, 239pt).
 
Samoa 3rd male quota
 
Either William Tai Tin (73kg, 136pt) or Pniamina Percival  (81kg, 106pt), they are not in any tournament so far.
 
Vanuatu 4th male quota
 
Hugo Cumbo (81kg, 57pt)
 
Kiribati 5th male quota or 3rd female quota
 
Both Nera Tiebwa (57kg) and Tebania Mwemwenikeaki (60kg) have 10pt and will play Tahiti Open. If they remain drawn and both eligible, "the IJF Executive Committee will make the decision."
 
American Samoa Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, Nauru Palau Papua New Guinea Tonga have no athletes in the rankings so far.
 
So far we have 2 female quotas and a third "to be decided".
 
So far I BELIEVE this is the ranking for the reallocation (it envolved many scenarios, with direct quota, continental quota, team invitaiton, etc, so this is far from certain). Tahiti Open (and others) may change things a bit...
 
Female
 
1- Natasha Ferreira (48kg) 2694pt  -she could still get a continental quota depending on 63kg/70kg
2- Katharna Menz (48kg) 2642pt - she could still get a continental quota depending o 81kg/90kg. And she still can add 80pt if she wins an Open, passing Ferreira.
3- Ana Viktorija PULJIZ (52kg) 2490pt - could still get a continental quota depending on 100kg)
4- Shukurjon Aminova (57kg) 2474pt
4- Taís Pina (70kg) 2341 still competing or Telma Monteiro (58kg, 2306, but could still add 80pt at an Open)
 
 
male (less sure, but)
 
Igor Wandtke 2702pt, 73kg) - so far, with a Team Invitation quota
Magdiel Estrada 2265pt (could still get a CQ quota, depending on 63kg)
Medickson DEL ORBE CORTORREAL (81kg, 2174) or Robert Florentino (90kg, 2274) - both still competing
Marcus Nyman (90kg, 2198 - now fighting for the CQ with Ida Erikson, 70kg, 2202) 
Muhammed Demirel (2177pt, 52kg)
Enej MArinic (+100kg, 2153pt)
 

Obviously it's not enough to point out that all these calculations goes with the idea that all Opens that will happen will give 100pt for the winners. We never know what the IJF can decide to do...
 
M 66kg
 
*
 
Boushita out, and gets the continental quota for now with 2456pt, in the place of Achraf Moutii (83kg, 1984pt)

*new entries
Luukas Saha with the bronze medal breaks through the direct quota spot.
 
W 57kg
 

 
No changes here.
 
M 73kg
 

 
18th quota still not decided:
Tohar Butbul remains with 2812
Tsend-Ochiryn Tsogtbaatar remains with 2782. As he has 3 blank results, he may pass Butbul.
 
If Tsogtbaatar gets the points, Gntulga Altanbagana (90kg, 1941pt) probably would get the continental quota from Mongolia and Butbul would get a continental quota as well.
 
 
 

I may totally missing the mark here, but I guess these countries have qualified to Paris, if IJF does not create new Grand Prix/Slam or give Grand Prix points to the next Opens. We will have 5 weeks of Open, so I am taking a mathematical approach that one athlete could go to all Opens and win titles to check if they could get into one of the 17 direct quotas. But for now, this can only happen in the 73kg.
 
Only direct quotas here, no CQ, and the opens will be fundamental into some of the quotas + some of the seeds.
 
And obviously my math can be very wrong, so take it with a grain of salt (the order is not necessarily right)
 
W 48kg
**

Kurbonova is out with 2652pt, but getting a Continental Quota, from Aminova (57kg), with 2474pt.
Menz out with 2642pt, hoping Cavelius (81kg) take a direct quota, so she would get a continental (or Trippel, 90kg, with 2260pt for now)

* new entries.
 without continental quota for now (see below, 73kg)
  continental quota going to Ida Eriksson (70kg) for now, but could go to Marcus Nyman (90kg)
 
M 60kg
 


Nothing has changed here.
 
W 52kg
 
*

Ana Viktorija Puljiz out with 2490pt, she could still get the continental quota from Croatia (now with Zlatko Zumric, 2517pt)

*new entries
Angelica Delgado after reaching R16 goes to 2621. Continental quota for now with John Jayne (90kg, 2124pt)
 

Now they are back together apparently
