    They don't need to, but it would be very helpful, especially if we only win 3-2 against the Netherlands. The Netherlands match is still the most critical. There isn't really a path to qualification if we lose.
  2. JoshMartini007
    Typically the sum of athletes competing in the respective synchro and individual event should be 34. It gets a bit complicated when a diver competes in both the 3m and 10m events, World Aquatics becomes inconsistent when that happens.
  3. JoshMartini007
    likely needs to beat 3-1 to overtake them. 3-2 is still possible, but we will need to win by better scores than the Netherlands in our other two games.

    As with other sports, I imagine they will treat AIN as separate for Russia and Belarus. I also imagine they will be exempt for Davis/BJK Cup requirements (pick one from: strength of nation, newcomer to rankings or historical participation. Or maybe they will just say this was a special case since the team is banned, but not the individual athletes).

    For tennis players, there isn't much of an upside in competing at the Olympics. No prize money, no ranking points, not a prestigious title and you risk injury. Representing your nation is pretty much all it has going for it, though to be fair that alone is quite the draw.

    I was kind of hoping they would just give him the tripartite quota like they did for Cara Black back in 2008.

    It took a while for the picture to load so I was surprised to see the coach (I assume) as the main photo. Other nations tend to use the players in the photo
  8. JoshMartini007
    The Davis/BJK rules are more suggestions and an easy out for players that don't want to participate at the Olympics without looking bad. If the player really wants to and their NOC agrees the ITF won't prevent them from competing.
  9. JoshMartini007
    We likely won't get an official announcement for the singles or doubles for a few more weeks. We'll have to rely on the NOCs to give us the information.
  10. JoshMartini007
    Plus there's bound to be some players who will outright decline to play at the Olympics. I imagine given the venue the withdraw rate will be similar to 2012 than 2016 or 2020 (though unlike 2012 no ranking points will be available), but I do expect a few players to not play.
  11. JoshMartini007
    Looks like is going to get the women's tripartite quota according to this news report. No word on the men's quota, but Wikipedia has listed (probably my choice too).
  12. JoshMartini007
    The United States will very likely take part in cricket. I mean, your other post pretty much sums it up, cricket really wants the United States to take it seriously. Besides, I'd argue the United States is relatively better in cricket than they are in handball.
  13. JoshMartini007
    I wonder if we develop a bit more maybe we could sneak into the 2028 Olympics. The West Indies will be split up into its individual countries and thus weaker. It might still be a huge ask, but that could add onto what could be a record team sport turnout for Canada
  14. JoshMartini007
    Glad we were able to get the win. As I mentioned before, we were doing quite well against the United States until the collapse which could be due to the inexperience of the group. I hope the national team can keep its funding until the 2028 Olympics.
  15. JoshMartini007
    Even an 8-team tournament doesn't fully showcase the unique blend of countries cricket can offer. In such a format, you'll have the usual suspects and likely as competing nations in 2028.
  16. JoshMartini007
    It depends on how close they are to the max athlete quota
  17. JoshMartini007
    No disrespect to Kovinic, but the women's singles tripartite quota had a lot of competition, here's who is currently in the top 400 (there's no ranking limit for tripartite quota, but it's used for the ITF places): 230. Lina Gjorcheska 241. Kathinka von Deichmann 276. Victoria Jimenez 351. Francesca Curmi 371. Sada Nahimana

    Next they'll add a Battle Royale event for the combat sports.
  19. JoshMartini007
    Duda/Ana Patricia were already mathematically qualified so Brazil will have two pairs
  20. JoshMartini007
    Check the first post, pretty much everything outside of athletics/swimming is a tripartite chance. Of course, some are more likely than others. I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of the nations with tripartite chances won't get anything.
  21. JoshMartini007
    The continental quotas takes priority. So Zhang and Monteiro will keep their Asian/Pan American quotas.
  22. JoshMartini007
    Going into the final month, we are down to our final 30 nations. Here's the breakdown of qualification possibility. May qualify normally (some have better chances than others) May qualify with a tripartite invitation Must rely on athletics/swimming universality
  23. JoshMartini007
    We don't want to be losing winnable sets. It likely wouldn't have mattered against South Korea, but it might if the Netherlands defeat the United States and Serbia while we lose to Italy and Japan.
  24. JoshMartini007
    As sad as it is for Canada, I really hope this doesn't kill the high level of the sport in Samoa.
  25. JoshMartini007
    By the end of week 2. leads by 2.21 points. Canada has a tougher set in week 3 ( vs. ), but the match between the two nations will go a long way to determine who goes to the Olympics. Every set matters
