    Yeah, it's more likely that athletes are based in Europe so it is actually cheaper for them to travel to Hungary. I don't really know any other Oceania nations which compete in rhythmic gymnastics. Having the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships at the World Championships makes sense because weightlifting is quite popular in the Pacific, but most of those nations are quite poor and are unlikely to afford the cost of traveling to two events.

    Even though I don't expect to win, at least the quota will be decided in a direct match.

    Congratulations. Hopefully he can improve in his other events. Perhaps he can be a medal threat at the Olympics this year or even in 2028.

    Yes, we are guaranteed at least one Pacific nation will qualify.

    Looks like Swimming Canada put a lot of resources into the breaststroke so we can have a great medley relay. Too bad freestyle and to a lesser extent backstroke has regressed a bit. I still feel good about the prospect of a bronze medal, but surpassing Australia and the United States remains tough

    I always found it weird that Belarus got punished as badly (or in this case worse) as Russia. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always saw them as a forced accomplice in this.

    Did you combine the technical and duet? The combined score for Ukraine was 444.9607 while for Portugal is was 409.2659

    That's a new rule. It's up to World Aquatics to decide, but I'm glad the option is in place. In the past, nations were forced to decline a quota because their swim team was too small.

    Not to be the bearer of bad news, but Slovenia needs either one more person to get an OQT or qualify another relay or else they are at risk of losing the relay quota. This is because they have only qualified one woman and qualifying one relay only gives you 2 relay-only athletes so they won't have enough athletes to form a relay. Same thing with Serbia on the men's side.

    Sri Lanka averaged 9 athletes over the past two Olympics so they should not be eligible. The were eligible last time, so maybe IJF forgot to remove them from their document.

    Perhaps, South Africa's NOC told them they wouldn't be selected even if they did compete.

    38-year old Kristel Kobrich qualified to the 1500m freestyle finals. What a long career for her and she's still going strong. Assuming she stays healthy she's looking to go for a 6th Olympics, tied for the most among swimmers

    While it's sad for us to go out like this, it was a tough group and honestly, if we can't defeat Spain or Japan then our chances to medal were pretty low.
  16. JoshMartini007
    Hopefully they get the tripartite quota.
  17. JoshMartini007
    At this rate we'd have to sneak our way into the Olympics. As in, hope one of Italy or Hungary (or even both) lose their quarterfinal match and then beat Australia while hoping they lose their 5th-8th semifinal match. Is it a dirty way of qualifying? Yes, but hopefully this teaches World Aquatics not to have qualified teams in a final qualifier tournament.

    The silver in artistic swimming comes from Canada's performance at the World Cup level. Unfortunately many top nations do not participate at the World Cup so Canada gets overinflated. That's what happens when you take results in a vacuum without taking context into account.

    Congrats to . 2-3 more nations will qualify on Sunday.

    Perhaps, but following the IOC's Qualification System Principles: "In the case of divergence between the French and English texts of these Qualification System Principles and the various qualification systems approved by the IOC, the English text shall prevail." So even if it is translated from French, the English version is the official document.
  23. JoshMartini007
    The whole document is poorly written as are other qualification documents. Over the past Olympics I've come to learn that sometimes things are written a certain way, but the sport federation actually meant something else. It's like whoever makes these has no experience in writing contracts. With that said, if any sport federations are listening I would love to help create qualification documents.
  24. JoshMartini007
    While I think you are correct, that's not the line that would make you correct. This basically says if a nation is already qualified previously it will go to the next duet. This line is what gives credence to your claim "Should the highest ranked eligible duet already be qualified through the team, the next highest ranked duet from the Continental qualifying event will obtain a quota place in this phase only." This essentially says only the top 2 nations from each continent are eligible for the continental quota

    Miller might, Vallee would need a lot of luck.
