So I just got an email from World Athletics in response to my question if unqualified athletes impact the 56 athlete quota in the men’s 100m and it’s as I suspected, they don’t impact the quota for that event: Not sure what the case is for the other events.

I really hope Ireland exchanges this quota for women’s trap. Aoife Gormally deserves a chance as she is the best performing of the Irish shooters recently. Hopefully our federation will make this sensible choice

2008 Olympic doubles champion Marcos Kido has died aged 36. He collapsed while playing a match, so sad https://www.kompas.com/badminton/read/2021/06/14/20285208/breaking-news-markis-kido-meninggal-dunia https://www.google.ie/amp/s/malaysia.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/badminton-indonesian-doubles-star-kido-144457105.html

Yes I had missed it, thanks for the update. That’s brilliant news! I’ll update the tracker sometime tomorrow evening.

Oh yes you’re right, my bad

Unless all 4 teams finish on 4 points. Unlikely but it has happened (World Cup 1994 is one I remember well when Norway finished bottom and were eliminated with 4 points).

I’m not sure if they will be allocated, but if they aren’t then that quota will go to the next highest in the Olympic ranking which I think would be Russell White. I’m not certain though, will wait and see how the simulation in the world triathlon website updates the list after today’s results to see if Russell is indeed first in line for that reallocation if it did happen.

This is definitely like TISC.... you wait 553 mins and then bam, 12 points 2 goals in a couple of minutes !

0 mins since Ukraine scored at Euros

1 minute since Ukraine scored at the Euros now

Heartbreaking final Olympic qualification day for Russel White in the men's triathlon.... looks like he has been pipped for the final Olympic qualification spot by Stefan Zachäus from Luxembourg. Not sure of his prospects to receive a re-allocated quota as the official document states it will be reallocated to a NOC from the same continent that does not yet have a qualifier. But there is some hope I guess, but very sad for him to lose out on the last day.

Will be interesting to see how it will work. But going off the Olympic schedule in both the Olympic website and world athletics, there will be a preliminary round in the men's 100m. Really doubt they would make that error since every minute has to be planned for and if there is a prelim, then there will be more than 56 quotas in the men's 100m.

No they didn't copy and paste because the women's 100m did have a preliminary round in Rio, but not this time in Tokyo. If there is a men's prelim round in the official schedule with 4 heats and a round 1 with 7 heats, the only real explanation I can see is that those universality quotas won't be counted in the 56 for men's 100m. I don't know for sure of course but it's the only logic I can see in having that prelim. And it makes sense because the men's 100m is the one that will receive the bulk of the universality quota requests.

Looks like this isn't the case for the men's 100m because in the official schedule there are 4 preliminary round heats, and then in Round 1 there will still be 7 heats (56 athletes). So the universality quotas in men's 100m won't affect those trying to qualify by ranking. This isn't the case for the women's 100m however which does not have a preliminary round and starts in Round 1 with 7 heats, same as men's round 1.

How are they going to complete the fencing or showjumping in such a short amount of time?

I hope I am equally as lucky when I register for mine next week

Thanks for all the info! That would be so cool to see Ireland with a weightlifter at the Olympics and if it doesn’t happen I am already pleasantly surprised we had someone in the picture at least. My bad for not giving him the respect he deserves. Good luck to him

Maybe @MHSN has mixed our flag with
