    Just to be clear, I meant that they had everything the needed to qualify I wasn't suggesting there was anything untoward Happy to see Woolley qualify as he was very close to doing so for Rio
  2. dodge
    Yep, all set up for China.

    For Ireland, although 2 athletes have obtained the OQT, neither have been confirmed by Swim Ireland. They have their own qualifying criteria. All athletes must obtain the OQT at our national championships in April. The only exception is if the OQT was previously achieved at the World Championships (as is the case with Daragh Greene), they must achieve a slightly easier mark at the national championships https://www.swimireland.ie/news/2020-olympic-games-nomination-policies-released

    That’s great. Thanks for the clarification lads.

    Am I right that with Dell’Aquilla winning, Woolley is now confirmed?

    is on 131 for the 49er class too. (Technically still in it, even if they only have a tiny chance)

    Preview from an point of view. They don't seem that optimistic about securing a quota https://afloat.ie/sail/olympic-sailing/tokyo-2020/item/44771-irish-49er-skiffs-face-big-test-for-olympic-qualifier-in-new-zealand As it stands Ireland have qualified one sailor for Tokyo. The 49er and Laser categories are our only remaining chances

    Just posting to say thanks to @dcro for all the posts in this thread. Really incredible work.

    Seems Valencia was quick (all praise Nike!) because Paul Pollock ran 2:10.17 to qualify too
  10. dodge
    We can now add marathon runner Paul Pollock to the list. He ran 2:10.17 to easily make the quota we now stand at 46 in 10 sports. 5 in athletics

    It's 3 years residency for rugby, and it's changing to 5 years next year. Still a ridiculous situation of course

    I don't think I realised before now that women's basketball doesn't have continental quotas. Unless they put Mozambque and Nigera in the same group to ensure one African team is represented

    have qualified for the Olympics Congrats to them. They'll play in the final here but with Japan already in, they take the Asian quota available

    Are you seriously suggesting that pro boxing isn't in even worse shape? Ha ha ha
  15. dodge
    Oh I know why. I was just wondering about examples when the Pacific islanders managed the upset! (Rugby doesn't count as Australia won the mens qualifier lat time and both Auz and NZ qualified through the world spots for women)
  16. dodge
    I'd love to see a list of Oceania continental qualifiers from countries that aren't or when those countries didn't already have a qualification spot (i.e. the qualifying teams/competitors finished ahead of Aus and NZ!) There can't be too many. in football last time out was an obvious example (and of course not a straight up win for Fiji either). Presume weightlifting? Maybe Judo/Taekwondo?

    TEAM is now at 45 with the addition of 16 women hockey players! First ever women's team to qualify in hockey First ever women's team to qualify in any team sport

    No real controversy this time. The Canadians wanted to query one of the 8 second rulings (when Ireland scored) and they said it couldn’t be checked. Irish TV checked it and it was 7 seconds so all good anyway Anyway... So happy to see our women’s team qualify. They’ve been so close in previous qualifiers and finally got over the line! Now we just need to 0-0 (shoot out win) to a medal in Tokyo ? So proud of the effort from these girls

    Literally nobody has ever said that.

    that’s very helpful. Thank you.

    Folks, what type of championship is this? I don’t think it’s a ‘European Championship’ as they’re usually every 2 years? The word extra there is throwing me. Jack Woolley is Ireland’s only really international class fighter here. Nice to see him medal from 4th seed he just missed out on 2016 Olympics (losing in semi of final qualifier) but he’s been consistently in top 10 ranks since so fingers crossed
  22. dodge
    I assume the discussions are whether the scores are showed "immediately" as the article indicates or at the end of each round.
  23. dodge
    It sounds like the system in place from 1992 to 2012 Olympics. A far more transparent system, and one which lead to more exciting boxing too The problems happened when the AIBA chairman Wu wanted "amateur" boxing to be more like the pros and part of that was his decision to go with a ten point scoring system that they use When they showed the scores after each round ti left a number of fights decided after 2 rounds so the 3rd round was a non event. With "points per blow" there's always a chance of a comeback
  24. dodge
    I think Ireland have been robbed. I know I’m biased but still
  25. dodge
    I wouldn’t say Canada are gone yet. They’ve put a lot of pressure on Ireland. Very nervous game (also I hope the Canadian women don’t qualify either )
