I thought he retired.

The person has made a few assumptions. Particularly, 1. Australia and New Zealand will decline their singles quota (Possible to likely) 2. The tripartite quotas will be reallocated (Not going to happen)

Now that the badminton rankings have closed I have (finally) removed and

You counted Kantaphon WANGCHAROEN when Kunlavut VITIDSARN is 8th. That means holds on to the last quota

Yeah, now that there's no risk of a team boycotting their match against Israel (at least until the knockout stage) there's no need to create a crazy system to avoid an uncomfortable match-up.

Here are eligible tripartite nations which competed at the zone qualifiers. While technically not a requirement to be selected, I don't want to go through the entire rankings and consider athletes whom competed at a random event. At least here they had the goal of trying to qualify to the Olympics. Additionally, I removed tripartite nations which already qualified an athlete in a different event. The tripartite committee rarely awards quotas to nations already with quotas. - M Epee - M Foil - W Epee, W Foil - W Foil, W Sabre - M Epee - M Sabre - M Epee - M Epee, M Foil - M Epee, M Foil, M Sabre - M Epee, M Foil, M Sabre, W Sabre - M Epee - M Epee - M Epee, M Foil, M Sabre, W Sabre - M Epee, M Foil, W Epee, W Foil - W Epee - W Sabre Most of the athletes did poorly at their zonal qualifiers. Additionally, the nation has to formally apply for the quota months ago. Considering fencing had no direct tripartite quotas, some nations may have skipped applying for it in favour of other events. I hope Cabo Verde and Mali get a quota, but we'll see.

Since France is not using any of its 8 host quotas, they are first awarded to tripartite nations. If they are not allocated, then they are awarded to the next highest ranked eligible athlete across all events. An event may only have a maximum of three additional entries so each event will have between 34 to 37 entrants.

I think a few will be awarded to tripartite nations, but I don't see it being more than four so the top half of that list looks pretty safe.

My apologies, I misread. Llavador is a bit unfortunate, but at the same time he was the big favourite to win here and couldn't convert. It's not like the system prevented him from qualifying because even higher ranked athletes were in the way. He'll be the only person in the top 30 to miss out (excluding nations with more than 3 athletes). The team events can be fixed by awarding the continental quotas first then the next four highest ranked nations. This would drop Poland (who was 9th) and Canada while Hong Kong and South Korea would qualify.

Canada has two fencers in the top 30 while Poland has one. In fact, they are all in the top 15. When the options are lower ranked team athletes get to participate or no one participates I personally would go with the former.

Does anyone know if Agate de Sousa has made the switch to ? If not, she's the first athlete from to qualify to the Olympics after getting 6.88 in women's long jump.

She had an opportunity to qualify through the rankings, she just didn't rank high enough. Her second opportunity was through this qualifier. In all fairness, she's ranked 33rd (26th if you remove nations with more than 3 athletes). This isn't a top 5 athlete with a medal chance missing out.

Yeah, if you look at the number of athletes in the past along with the increased number of events we should be pushing around 12,000 athletes. That's around 1500 missing athletes. Even 1000 extra would fix a lot of things.

The IOC isn't going to give more quotas to fencing so instead of having a ~34 person tournament you will have ~26 person tournament.

It's one of the more basic qualification system, the only major change I would make is to make the continental quotas a higher priority in the team event. The bigger issue is that the sport needs more quotas (more so than most other sports).

Another typical big Asian nation has been eliminated. Uzbekistan with three tries to qualify to the Olympics.

Candelaria Resano was awarded the quota. https://isasurf.org/event/paris-2024/

I'm curious, is it not someone gets to take it again?

survives after winning the PSO 5-4.

Considering we already have so many athlete quotas I don't think our depth was deep enough to qualify 5-6 men or a 6th woman kayak athlete. It's a shame we couldn't get the men's C2 quota, but the C1 quota is a nice consolation prize.

She currently holds the last (non-continental) qualification spot, edging out Ireland's Darragh by 33 points. I don't know if either of them (or Hungary's Sandorhazi) are competing this week so it'll come to end. Additionally, she needs to hope New Zealand's Shaunna Li doesn't break into the top 250 (currently 259) or else she will get the continental quota (though if she did, New Zealand may decline the quota). On the opposite side, Australia must select which two events between men's singles, women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles will get the continental quota, the others will be reallocated to the next highest ranked nation so even if Bulgaria gets passed she might get the quota if Australia doesn't choose women's singles.

The Olympic quota will be decided today, correct? Unfortunately the result page isn't updating for me...

Badminton rankings will be finalized next week.

Next week, but they are pretty much qualified

Not exactly, they combined the ENP quotas and last chance quotas for the ILCA 6 and 7 events
