    I know team sports claim to have minimum requirements, but the only sport I've seen to have done this is field hockey (Greece in 2004 and Brazil in 2016). Even handball let Australia compete in 2000. I guess we'll see how low their requirements are once a nation like Qatar hosts (especially on the women's side).

    I'd give him a good chance at grabbing the tripartite quota
  3. JoshMartini007
    Besides basketball (which only gives two spots to Europe and Pan America) and football (which only does continental qualifiers) none of the other team sports gives more than 1 continental spot to each continent. Other than guaranteeing Europe more quotas, handball doesn't strike as a sport that needs to do that. The issue is handball is very Euro-centric which is why you see more European teams at the Olympics, when was the last time more than two non-European nations finished in the top 10 at the world championships?

    Not really, we saw Bolivia and Peru newly attend while Colombia did not. The only reason it's on the Pan Am program is because of its Olympic status.
  5. JoshMartini007
    Shouldn't they give the Nacra 17 quota to the other Tunisian boat? They did win all eight races in which both boats participated.
  6. JoshMartini007
    Canoe slalom doesn't have much depth in Pan America. It was the last discipline to be added to the Pan American Games (in 2015).
  7. JoshMartini007
    Archery can have as many mixed team participants as they want because in the end it won't add any more time to the schedule. Only the top 16 from the qualification round advance to the actual tournament. For table tennis, additional matches would have to be played.

    This will be a tall order for Canada, but anything can happen in a single game Good luck to Honduras.
  9. JoshMartini007
    I think the results of will determine how Canada plays. If the two nations draw then I imagine Canada will go full on attack to try and grab the win. If it's a narrow win for one Canada will initially play hard to win, but may play defensively if Honduras grabs the lead and if it's a large win for one of the teams Canada will likely go for the 0-0 draw and take their (slim) chances against Mexico.

    Quite a few athletes from Oceania, more than I thought. Also we could see our first athlete from qualify to the Olympics (possibly too)
  11. JoshMartini007
    They haven't confirm it, but I highly suspect that the World Ranking quotas will be reshuffled to give 4 quotas to each event oppose to 3-6.
  12. JoshMartini007
    Yeah, I would only eliminate the nations which failed to make the gold fleet.
  13. JoshMartini007
    All that's remaining is the Doha Grand Prix for individual foil.
  14. JoshMartini007
    Assuming Mexico defeats the United States I can imagine Honduras being content to playing a 0-0 draw.
  15. JoshMartini007
    Aren't they having 9 qualification + 9 final + 1 medal race or has the scheduled change? Malta is done, but Italy isn't mathematically eliminated yet. They are only nine points away from the cut-off which can be made up over three races.
  16. JoshMartini007
    Isn't there one more day of the qualification round? Also it looks like has raced in the Nacra 17
  17. JoshMartini007
    Yeah while are not eligible for a women's quota there is still plenty of depth to avoid her getting the quota.
  18. JoshMartini007
    I agree, even in the best case scenario where athletes ranked above him qualified through the European/Latin American qualifier and the athletes qualified in mixed doubles already qualified in the singles/team he is still outside of a qualification position. He'd probably need to gain about 200 points over the athletes above him in order to have a realistic chance.

    More information about "Table Tennis: Asian OQT Begins With Quotas Awarded to East and South Asia"
    The first day of the 2021 Asian Olympic Qualification Tournament saw athletes from East and South Asia book their spot to the games. The Asian qualifiers differ from other continental qualifiers as each of the five regions along with the highest ranked runner-up (in the April 2021 rankings) are given singles quotas. As a reminder, the West Asian qualifier took place last year. The Asian Olympic Qualification Tournament is currently being held in Doha. Qatar from March 18th to March 20th 2021. Due to being the only eligible nation from the region to compete Mongolia was ensured to win a quota in the men’s and women’s singles while India was guaranteed to win a quota in the women’s singles. The only question would be who? The East Asian women’s singles qualifier was won by Mongolia’s Batmonkhiin Bolor-Erdene whom defeated her compatriot Batbayaryn Doljinzuu 4-1. On the men’s side it was Mongolia’s Enkhbatyn Lkhagvasuren who won in straight sets over his compatriot Jargalsaikhan Munkhzorig. In the South Asian women’s singles qualifier India’s Sutirtha Mukherjee won over her compatriot Manika Batra 4-2. Batra however, will still qualify to the Olympics as she will be the highest ranked runner-up. The men’s South Asian qualifier saw three athletes compete in a round-robin tournament. The first match was a see-saw event where India’s Sathiyan Gnanasekaran won the first two sets against his compatriot Sharath Acanta. Acanta would win the next three to take a 3-2 lead, but Gnanasekaran was able to close out the match by winning the next two sets in a 4-3 set thriller. Both Indian players would go on to win straight sets over Pakistan’s Muhammad Rameez. This meant Gnanasekaran won the South Asian men’s quota. Acanta will also qualify due to being the highest ranked runner-up. The Asian Olympic Qualification Tournament continues tomorrow with more matches in the other regions along with the mixed double qualifier. Qualified Nations Men's Singles India India* Mongolia Women's Singles India India* Mongolia * To be confirmed upon publication of April 2021 rankings

    At least Australia has to earn its spot by defeating New Zealand and other Pacific nations. While technically other nation besides Canada and USA compete in North America they rarely, if ever compete. North and Latin America need to be merged or at the very least better divided.
  21. JoshMartini007
    That's what happens when 6/7 nations in your region have already qualified. The men are lucky North Korea decided not to compete due to COVID.
  22. JoshMartini007
    And we have our first qualifier in women's singles Batmunkh defeats Batbayar 4-1
  23. JoshMartini007
    With limited space there are always going to be athletes/teams that "deserve it" missing out. That's competition; we don't award medals to the highest ranked entrants, they have to earn it. Nobody is entitled to a spot.
  24. JoshMartini007
    Good to see Canada accepting all of their quotas this time.
  25. JoshMartini007
    Unsurprisingly Sawettabut withdrew as she already qualified to the Olympics. Anyway, the finals date for each mini-tournament. M East - 18th W East - 18th M South - 18th W South - 18th W Southeast - 19th M Central - 20th W Central - 20th M Southeast - 20th Mixed Doubles - 20th
