    At this rate, they'll both surpass China and qualify (only a maximum of two nations from the same continent can qualify via the rankings)
  2. JoshMartini007
    Yeah, no doubt Algeria will try to make things as difficult as possible. It also doesn't help that Gardette needs to finish ahead of Bouras rather than just planting himself right behind the boat.
  3. JoshMartini007
    Since we have the one boat per nation rule, they are actually mathematically guaranteed a quota. Potentially boats from the B Final will also qualify. Edit: I guess technically we could have a scenario where Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Zimbabwe finish with the same rank and all four nations choose the same gender
  4. JoshMartini007
    Yeah, if the ranking was just the combined rankings of the top four players or even something less excessive such as the top 10 players it wouldn't be so bad. No one should expect the 100th ranked person of a nation to have a chance at qualifying to the Olympics.
  5. JoshMartini007
    Forgot about the minimum requirement, that stops those kinds of shenanigans. The second point is interesting, pick a strong cross-country/jumper as a back-up is a good strategy
  6. JoshMartini007
    Random thought, is there a nation where it would be worth sending in their best dressage pair, take the 20 point penalty and substitute their third best eventing pair for the rest of the competition?
  7. JoshMartini007
    The men have already qualified through the world series and they will be allowed to compete at the Olympics. The point for the women is for them to qualify to the world series qualifier so they can compete to become a core team. Sadly it does make the entire half of the bracket South Africa is in useless outside of a crazy upset. Depending when South Africa plays their final group game we could see nations trying to fix the bracket.
  8. JoshMartini007
    But 200 points might as well be 1000 points, no team is going to recover from that. The 20 point penalty for substitutions seems fair though
  9. JoshMartini007
    Whether it's a 100/200 points or 1000 points isn't the result essentially the same? I doubt a team could make up the gap without hoping other teams already received the penalty as well.
  10. JoshMartini007
    Just as a reminder, South Africa has confirmed they will not be sending a team to the Olympics, so should they win it'll go to the runner-up.
  11. JoshMartini007
    Mali is the two time defending African champions, though Nigeria did win at the African Games. Regardless it is unlikely we'll see an African nation at the Olympics.
  12. JoshMartini007
    Yeah, it would take a lot of bad luck for Egypt to not finish in the top 2. Of course, crazier things have happened.

    The Algerian Sailing Federation on Facebook has results Here are the nations entered in each event Men's RS:X Women's RS:X Men's Laser They accidentally reposted the women's RS:X so we don't know who is in the women's laser radial.

    Tripartite athletes must participate in one of the 2019 World Championships, the World Cup or the Continental Championships to be eligible for selection.
  15. JoshMartini007
    Plus the host nation reallocation...
  16. JoshMartini007
    Big upset...
  17. JoshMartini007
    Does anyone know if IAAF clarified whether the disqualified relays are still qualified to the Olympics.
  18. JoshMartini007
    It's listing China as disqualified. I guess we'll need the IAAF to clarify whether or not they have a spot at the Olympics.
  19. JoshMartini007
    The new qualification system allows up to seven individuals to compete (but they can't form a team). Funny enough if a nation qualifies a team the maximum athletes they could qualify is six. Of course, the chances of a nation having that many good athletes and not qualify a team is low.
  20. JoshMartini007
    That would be correct. This is different than what we saw in 2016 where only the winners were eligible. I'm glad they clarified it, the document was a bit ambiguous...
  21. JoshMartini007
    It's illegal for Canada to win gold, didn't you know that?
  22. JoshMartini007
    It was unfair to have the Group F qualifier so close to the nation's cup.
  23. JoshMartini007
    Olympic Qualification Standings After 2 Riders (worst score dropped) - 0 - 0 - 4 - 5 - 5 - 9 - 13
  24. JoshMartini007
    I'm glad they are allowing more apparatus specialists. Before only the medalists were eligible, now it's possible for up to the top 8 to qualify.
  25. JoshMartini007
    Why Surrey? Does all the shootings remind you of the US?
