Another team event -that in truth is only an addition of individual performances- so the powerhouses can keep piling up the medals. Cool.

Magistrati anunció su retiro hace unas semanas, así que en gimnasia habrá que buscar otra chica, capaz alguna de las junior? No sé si llegarán. Y Tarabini compitiendo para otro país...

 

En natación estoy casi seguro de que nadie va a meter marca A, sería una sorpresa. Las más asequibles son las de fondo en mujeres, pero Santillán y Hein todavía son muy chicas. Y las marcas B vaya uno a saber quién va porque se van llenando por prueba, ojalá lleguemos a 5 pero no está fácil. Atletismo similar. 

 

Lo único que puede engordar esa lista además de fútbol-handball es que se clasifique el equipo de salto en equitación (ni idea cómo está este año), algún tirador más, sobre todo en rifle, y alguna tenista, vía Panamericanos o que se libere cupo por ranking (difícil, pero de acá a un año...). Capaz alguno más en taekwondo? (Acuña ahora que volvió), pero ya es tiro al pichón. El resto no lo tengo en el radar o sería una sorpresa.

Todo lo que mencionas es posible pero improbable, por eso no lo consigne en la proyección.  

Y ahora supongo que si metemos 2 en natación es mucho...

Che, estaba tratando de hacer una lista de posibles clasificaciones para Paris y posta que el cuadro es deprimente... si no metemos al fútbol y/o al handball no veo forma de que lleguemos a 130 siquiera, lo cual sería el número más bajo desde Barcelona. Coincidentemente el último juego en el que sufriamos los efectos de una hiperinflación....  

Y eso que intenté ser optimista en algunos deportes, como en los primeros dos:

Atletismo - 5  (martillo?, bala?, Maraton?, F. Bruno?)

Natación - 5 (quienes? Dios sabrá)  

Boxeo - 2 (NN, NN) 

Canotaje - 3 (Vernice, Rojas/sprint, Rossi/slalom)   

Ciclismo - 5 (Molina o Torres, Torres Gil, Zacarias/bmx, NN/ruta masculino, Apaza/MTB)  

Equitación - 1 (Salto individual)  

Esgrima - 2 (Maurice y/o Di Tella P. y/o Di Tella I. y/o Servello)   

Hockey - 32  

Golf - 1 (masculino) 

Gimnasia - 2 (artistica Magistrati, Jato)   

Judo - 1 (Gil)   

Lucha - 1 (Destribats o NN)

Pentatlon moderno - 1 (NN)  

Remo - 2 (doble ligero femenino) 

Rugby - 12  

Vela - 10 (Windsurf x2, ILCA x2, 470, 49er FX, Nacra)   

 Tiro - 2 (Russo o Gutierrez, Gil) 

Skate - 1 (Iglesias o NN/street masculino)   

Tenis de mesa - 1 (Cifuentes o Lorenzo/masculino individual)  

Taekwondo - 1 (Guzman o NN)  

Tenis - 6 (4 singles, 2 dobles masculinos) 

Voley - 12 masculino   

Voley beach - 2 (m o f) 

Total: 110   

Si me comí a alguien que seguro o muy probable clasifica, haganmelo saber.

It looks like Ajalla flopped in the BB, bit disappointed with that, not gonna lie. But overall good.

The message I'm getting is  that the decision on team sports also applies to team events in individual sport.

 

Which means no gymnastics teams (although that was virtually certain anyway), no teams in fencing or archery, no artistic swimmers, no Medvedev and Rublev teaming up in men's doubles tennis.

I think "team sport" applies to anything that has to be called by the name of the country in the official competition document of the event.  

Like, it applies to team fencing but not to tennis doubles (since a country can have more than one pair in the event you can't call both "Russia", they use the names of the athletes instead).

UEFA will have to create some super special rules so that Haaland could play at a major championship. Totally looks like Jari Litmanen 2.0 on steroids.

It's nothing alike. They have plenty good players and even some that are still not playing with the senior team (for instance their U19 defeated France's today). 

They weren't so bad btw, the score flatters Spain a bit.  

Sol Fainberg suddenly decided to retire.  

gymnastics back to ground zero 🤡 tons of young talents from amateur sports abruptly retiring here in the last few years.

Why is Peru going to withdraw?

There was an earthquake and a cyclone recently so the government is unwilling to finance the competition.  

Yeah, that U20 WC is gone from Indonesia...  

There are also strong rumors that Peru will give up hosting the U17.

Back in August 2022 I made predictions on which events Team Canada would qualify in (Totally unrealistic ), but since Olympic Qualification has really been ramping up recently I’ve decided to do an in-depth updated version.

 

If any of you disagree with any of this, then please reply with changes you would make. 

 

Canada  (T: 339-372 athletes)

 

Archery (2) - Crispin Duenas hasn’t competed since the Tokyo Olympics. If he’s gonna make a run for Paris (Crazily enough his 5th straight Olympics if he can qualify) then I have him securing a quota, otherwise it’ll probably go to Eric Peters. Stephanie Barrett is a safe bet for a quota on the women’s side.

Artistic Swimming (8) - Unlike last Olympics I don’t have us securing qualification at the 2023 Pan-Am Games as United States have surpassed us in terms of recent success. Still I think we can qualify at the 2024 World Championships. 

 

Badminton (8) - Michelle Li in women’s singles. Brian Yang in men’s singles. Rachel Honderich/Kristen Tsai in women’s doubles. Adam Dong/Nyl Yakura in men’s doubles. Ty Lindeman/Josephine Wu in mixed doubles

 

Given the tough selection criteria, top 16 (singles), top 8 (doubles) the only semi-realistic chance at qualifying a second berth would be Wendy Zhang. Don’t see it happening. 

 

Basketball (28) - With Argentina not qualifying for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, its highly likely that we’ll get the second Americas spot (Behind United States) for Paris 2024. Women’s 3x3 team was dominant last year, and is a safe bet to qualify. Our women’s team will probably qualify too.  

 

Beach Volleyball (4-6) - Brandie/Melissa and Pavan/Bukovec in the women’s tournament. Maybe Schacter/Dearing through the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament?? It’s all dependant on whether United States qualifies their two pairs through the world rankings. 

 

Boxing (5) - 

Tammara Thibeault- Women’s 75kg

Charlie Cavanaugh- Women’s 66kg

Priyanka Dhillon- Women’s 50kg

Scarlett Delgado- Women’s 54kg Caroline Veyre- Women’s 57kg

 

I’m predicting no male athletes will qualify this time with Keoma-Ali Al-Ahmadieh (Men’s 57kg) and Wyatt Sanford (Men’s 63.5kg) just missing out. 

 

Breaking (1-2) - Phil Wizard is of the worlds best b-boys he should qualify. Tiffany Leung also has a chance, but her only chance will be through the Olympic Qualifier Series. 
 

Canoe: Sprint/Slalom (16) - Don’t know the boats situation, but I’ll try my best.

Football (18) - All we have to do is beat Jamaica in a two legged playoff series and our women’s team is off to Paris. Should be doable. Men’s team has no chance, due to them blowing their only chance at the CONCACAF U20 Championships. 

Golf (4) -

Alena Sharp - Women’s Stroke Play

Adam Svensson - Men’s Stroke Play

Correy Conners - Men’s Stroke Play

Kyle Reyes - Men’s -100kg, Team Event 

 

Notably, Christa Deguchi and Shady El Nahas miss out. 
 

Rowing (25-30) - 

 

Don’t know anything about the boating situation for Team Canada, so I’ll just use numbers from Tokyo/Rio and the recent WCHs to do my predictions. We should qualify a fair few amount of athletes here. 
 

Rugby 7s (13-26) -  

 

Considering United States is pretty much almost qualified through the World Series, nothing is stopping our women’s team from securing a quota at the RAN 7s Qualification Tournament, especially since we’re hosting it. Both Argentina, and United States have to qualify for Paris 2024 through the World Series for us to have a chance, and even then we’ll have to beat Uruguay. It’s possible, but we wouldn’t be the favourites.

Lachlan McNeil - Men’s 65kg 

 

Justina Di Stasio, Olivia Di Bacco and Diana Wiecker all miss out due to stacked weightclasses. 

 

Rythmic Gymnastics, Modern Pentathlon, Handball are highly unlikely for Canada to qualify in. Field Hockey teams have been on a decline lately, but qualification is possible. Maybe we’ll qualify, maybe we won’t. Despite the brilliant performance of our women’s volleyball team at the 2022 Worlds, I have them JUST missing out. I think our men’s volleyball team is on a decline, and won’t back up their Tokyo 2020 qualification. 
 

If anyone can help think of shooting/rowing athletes/boats qualified. I have no clue lol. 

 

Maybe I made these predictions too optimistic 

Rugby is divided into south and north americas so whatever Argentina or Uruguay do is inconsequential for your qualification, unless you're thinking about the final world qualifier. 

Lol h2h with "Nimir VC" for an olympic quota.

Definitely getting that top 4 season finish. The team is so good right now. 

Fiji lost to Uruguay 

I'm not familiar with most of those games but I guess the idea was to pick the most "realistic" videogames that have to do with some of the sports under the umbrella of a IOC recognized IF.   

They must have wanted to avoid something like ISSF organizing a competition of a FPS game with cartoon characters or people dying of headshots  

Bye Bye   

But this was needed to make a big rebuild. The player quality has been dropping non stop for 15+ years.

Our team is terrible. Hope DR can win this.
