Men's Rugby Sevens Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
dodge replied to Totallympics's topic in Rugby Sevens
I like the qualification format. For team sports, there’s always going to be “top” teams that don’t qualify (look at how few European football nations can qualify for example). In rugby, the season long format ensures the best teams go through. Then they have a continental qualifier. And a final world qualifier. 3 chances for a “top” nation is pretty loose and those who don’t qualify can’t blame anyone but themselves -
Presumably down to 1/1000ths But I’d imagine it won’t matter either way with improvements to come before the end of June
-
They do, but they’re behind Trinidad & Tobago on the world athletics list, so they’ll have to go faster
-
yes. That’s correct. I’ve amended it above
-
As it stands, these are the top nations by time that haven’t qualified yet Women’s 4x100m Spain - 42.85 China - 43.03 Men’s 4x100m: Brazil - 38.19 Trinidad & Tobago - 38.30 Women’s 4x400m: Cuba - 3:26.08 Nigeria - 3:27.29 Men’s 4x400m: France - 2:58.45 Zambia - 2:59.12 Mixed 4x400m: Czech Republic - 3:11.98 Italy - 3:13.56

Meanwhile… Rhasidat

Horrific changeover from Germany. Congrats to India
-
What a finish by Liberia. Wow
-
Double post

Compare what New Zealand, Netherlands, Belgium or any other comparably sized developed country spend The only sports where we could host a senior European championship, never mind a world championships, are those that compete in open fields. We have the British and American collegiate systems to thank for the vast majority of our talented individuals
-
Oh it made sense. Just pointing out that to most people watching the world feed, both commentators are foreign
-
“Foreign lass” “world feed” hmm
-
Mixed (same as yesterday) Greene > Adeleke > Barr > Mawdsley Womens Healy > Harrison > Cadden > Becker Harrison and Cadden come in. Healy moves from 3 to 1, Becker moves from 1 to 4. They’ve said that only change was permitted for mixed so they decided not to make any
-
We are underfunded compared to most countries. Ridiculously so. In general our facilities are atrocious. Our biggest stars are being developed outside our systems (bar boxing and rowing where the worldwide pools are shallow enough)
-
Top times in the period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2024 They’re listed on the Road to Paris site
-
“Scraped five medals” is a pretty wild phrase considering our sporting history 😂

Athletics Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
dodge replied to Totallympics's topic in Athletics
Even if they don’t, their time will see them qualify. Still, an interesting sign that the depth that might be needed for a medal in Paris may not be as strong as previously thought -
Yeah. The lists were a little off for the mixed. The Netherlands only had 4 listed and neither of the women were Bol or Klavar who both ran
-
The only countries to win heats in mixed and women’s 4x400 ludicrous for Ireland the only other country to qualify both teams on day one
-
Her first would have been quicker if she didn’t have to swing out to lane 6 for the handover…
-
Wow. Our women are incredible
-
I think that’s only for mixed.
-
Dutch women without the 2 superstars nowhere. Guess everyone will want to avoid them in round two…
-
The women’s second round will be fascinating. The draws could see a couple of big nations lose out
-
Great call
