The 15000km distance between events would make a potential double from Sky interesting.

Lucky for her she'll have at least a week to travel and settle.

With that said she's a long shot at qualifying in surfing.

Quite excited to see what Nemour can do at the Olympics

0 - 0

Sad that one of those teams will miss the Olympics. Hopefully they'll expand the tournament to 16 to match the men's.

what comes next is just another sport (? ), they should call it Multiverse Pentathlon 

No, it'll be called "Pentathlon Xtreme" and any time the commentator says the name, they have to yell it and a loud electric guitar riff is played.

I wouldn't mind a double elimination tournament just so we don't risk people getting eliminated too early.

Would it be possible to do a simulation on the possible tripartite in all sports ! Thanks a lot

We can give options, but sometimes it's difficult to give an accurate picture.

In the past, sport federations have given quotas to athletes which did not compete at a high level. For example judo tripartite quotas have been awarded to athletes with no world ranking points.

World Aquatics seems to imply the opposite in their website so it almost seems like they can compete in more than 2 Olympics if they are under the age of 30.

The wording makes no sense since as you said, the second statement means athletes under the age of 30 would be allowed to compete in more than 2 Olympics, which is obviously not the intention by World Aquatics or else they wouldn't have written the first statement. It's almost a paradox.

I think they meant "and" instead of "or"

The wording is a bit awkward.

It's written that athletes under the age of 30 can only compete in two Olympics through universality. It's then implied that over 30 year old athletes can compete in more Olympics.

It's a dumb rule in my opinion and hurts a small handful of athletes in their mid to late 20s who may be excluded during what may have been their peak Olympics

& have a reallocation of quota due to the places of the host country of France in -67 and +67 kg ??

No, they are reallocated as tripartite quotas. Only if they are not awarded they will be given to the next ranked nation in the Olympic Rankings.

Yeah, my assumption was the singles rankings would remain constant. If Sweden goes from 16th to 15th then they will qualify to the Olympics.

7 -  1778 pts

Thailand should get a boost in points since they will finish at least 9th vs. getting 19th in 2022.

The R32 matches are completed on the women's side. The current top 9 non-qualified nations is as follows:

Assuming I calculated things correctly, and would need to reach the quarterfinals in order to make the Olympics.

Which ranking are you using because I thought   and  are all ranked higher than  and  is ahead of ?

This is after removing points obtained from the 2022 Team World Championships. So teams which made the R16 or further in 2022 have currently lost points while teams with a poor 2022 (like Nigeria and Denmark) have increased in points already.

We'll have a clearer picture tomorrow as to who has qualified to the Olympics.

Here are the 9 nations currently in line for the Olympic quotas via World Rankings (some will qualify by reaching the quarterfinals):

Men

Nigeria will drop off after the first round of the knock-out is completed, the next highest ranked nation is .

Women

Likewise, Puerto Rico can no longer gain any more points and needs to rely on a few low ranked nations winning their first round match in order to qualify.

Tough group for , while a big opportunity for .

ICF says that the K1 1000m went to Samoa not to Cook Islands https://www.canoeicf.com/news/cliftons-book-olympic-tickets-samoa

Looks like the article was taken down.

Does anyone know how the ranking of athletes not in the A or B final works?

The most realistic proposal, in my opinion, would be to let them compete under the Olympic flag (if they can qualify). I don't either side of the issue would be totally satisfied, but maybe it would be a workable compromise in the end?

That's what I expect the IOC to offer (if they are going to offer something). No way they are going to let them compete under their own flag. You're just asking for every separatist region or oversea territory to ask to compete.

Yeah, barring a change in the U.S. Government, it does feel like ultimately the IOC will be the organization forced to make a decision. 

It would be bizarre that lacrosse made the cut if they aren't going to let them compete. It's not like Lacrosse brings in the dollars like American Football, Baseball or Cricket.

It would be political suicide for Trudeau (or any Canadian leader) to say anything else. Plus it's free positive news. They can say something, do nothing and then blame the IOC if/when nothing happens.

As much as I like lacrosse, this was obviously going to be an issue. We had the same thing at the World Games. The IOC should have seen this coming.

If they decline does it go to Samoa?

I think so, from previous Olympics, the three nation rule is only active at the beginning of the competition. Should less than three nations become eligible (either through qualifying in a bigger boat or declining the quota) the quota goes to the next highest ranked nation, provided some remain.
