Oh if this Olympic spot goes down to time...

15.2 for Rhys McClenaghan!! He’ll easily make the final and looks on course for a medal and an Olympic quota!

it's a team or an all rounder The apparatus qualifiers are effectively separate so yes, a nation a can qualify one all rounder and a specialist or even a team and a specialist (up to 2 specialists)

I see this hasn't been updated in a while so allow me to share the current state of play As of 4 October 2019... 21 quotas earned in 6 different sports Sports with quotas earned in alphabetical order: Athletics Ciara Mageean (1,500m) Alex Wright (20k walk) Brendan Boyce (50k walk) Others that would get place by virtue of their ranking would be Thomas Barr, Mark English and Phil Healy. Of the highly rated juniors high jumper Sommer Lecky and heptathlete Kate O'Connor have the best chance of making the early step up. Canoeing - Slalom boat (men's C1) Ireland are unlikely to qualify any more boats in canoeing with our best sprint canoeist being Jenny Egan who specialises in longer (non-Olympic) distances Equestrian Eventing (team with 3 individuals) Dressage(team with 3 individuals) The eventing team won silver at last world champs and individual medalists in last Worlds and Europeans mean they are serious Olympic medal contenders. The first Irish dressage team was a nice surprise. The show jumping team can win medals, but they need the final qualifying spot this weekend to make it after 7th place finishes in the world and euro champs. Modern Pentathlon Natalya Coyle Natalya will be hoping for her third top 10 placing in the Olympics in Tokyo. Arthur Lannigan O'Keefe could medal if everything goes right but he struggled with injuries. He needs to have a great start to 2020 to shoot up the rankings. Rowing w1x w2- m2x lm2x Whoever is with Paul O'Donovan in the lightweight double sculls will be a medal favourite in Tokyo. Paul has won the last two world championships, one with his Rio medal winning brother Gary and the other with newcomer Fintan McCarthy. Sanita Puspure is double world champion and only injury or horrendoes luck will stop her from medaling in Tokyo. The mens double won silver this year and are improving all the time. Ireland will try and qualify a womens 4 next year Sailing Laser Radial Aisling Kelleher won the quota but Rio medalist Annalise Murphy has dropped her 49er FX plans to try and get in the Radial boat for Tokyo. The 49er crew have a good chance of qualifying in December and we might sneak in a Laser quota too next year with most European countries already in. Swimming Darragh Greene (100m, 200m breast) Shane Ryan (100m back) Irish swimming is one of the only sports that have stricted rules than the IOC for qualifying so neither of thes may actually go. Greene achieved his time at the worlds so has to get close to it at the irish nationals in 2020 to validate it. Everyone else, including Ryan, has to earn the OQT at the irish nationals. Brendan Hyland and Mona Mcsharry look the two most likely to add to the team in individual events but iris swimmimg is aiming to bring a 4x100m medley relay team and is currently OK in the ranks Likely/possible quotas in these sports Badminton Nhat Nguyen is currently in a rankings spot. The mixed doubles of Sam and Chloe Magee are also in a spot, but their quota is far less secured. Boxing Traditionally our strongest Olympic sport. Ireland will eb hoping to have at least 8 of the 13 quotas available next year. Our womens team is particularly strong and they'll hope to win 2/3 medals next year. Cycling We're very likely to qualify 3 for the mens road race 9with one of them also in the ITT). On the track we should qualify at least 2 women (madison rankings) and maybe one man (omnium). Diving Oliver Dingley and Clare Cryan have hopes for next year through the world cup series. Dingley should be OK Field Hockey Both mens and womens team face Canada ine 3/4 weeks time in the play offs. The World Cup runner up women are at home and hopefully qualify for their first ever olympics! Golf Ireland will qualify 4 for golf next year with McIlroy and Lowry being medal contenders on their day in the mens. Gymnastics On this weekend, with luck Emma Slevin and Andrew Steele may qualify for all around (need luck though!). Rhys McClenaghan is a medal contender if he qualifies in pommel! Judo We currently have 3 judoka in ranking positions; Ben Fletcher, Megan Fletcher and Nathan Burns Taekwondo Jack Wooley is top 8 ranked in the minimum weight and should be OK to amek his first games with average luck. Triathlon Russell White and Carolyn Hayes are our best hope of qualifying for Tokyo and both are just inside the quota spots at the moment. Hayes was 6th at the European Championships in May and is a relative newcomer to the sport. She'll easily shoot up the rankings list with performances like that. The ranking period ends in May 2020. It's unlikely we'll have qualifiers in other sports but maybe the rugby sevens team can surprise us or someone new comes along next year!

the results of the 3rd October are there. Ring A , Ring B Today's results will be up tonight or early tomorrow. (They are 8 hours ahead of my time...) Ireland has started the championships with 2 wins from 2. Oh and the link for all schedules, results etc is here; https://www.aiba.org/aiba-womens-world-boxing-championships-ulan-ude-2019/

Sorry, I knew that. I just meant their performances before today didn't lead me to believe they were contenders for the quota. I thought it was a 3 way fight between Ireland, Italy and Spain Colombia are very much in that fight now.

Colombia is a real live contender for the quota too in the final too based on today.

After 3 riders 4 faults - FRA, COL, BEL, ITA 5 faults - SWE, IRL 8 faults - ESP 9 fauts - NED 4 of the top 8 aren't qualified for Tokyo

Hi folks, Irish man here. Been tracking our qualification and medal hopes for about 3/4 games now. Only discovered this place recently and have lurked for a couple of weeks. Hoping to contribute as Tokyo approaches

Still a long way to go but it certainly looks like it will go all the way in qualifying anyway Some countries with zero wiggle room on big discard scores.

While they may well finish 3rd of the 3, the only thing that matters today is qualifying for the top 8

Only 3 of the opening 14 are inside the time. crazy

Thanks, it's working for me now. Wasn't earlier!

is the live score working for anybody? I have the stream but won't be able to watch it all day. Opening scores for the Olympic contenders is ESP 4 IRL 5
