I only speak about women's water polo. Last year, France was ranked 9th at the world championships with a playing base of 500 members. This tells me everything I need to know about the complete lack of global reach of this sport and that it should not be anywhere close to be an olympic event.

 

Doesn't mean there are no other disciplines as much under deserving as women's water polo (specially with LA 28 additional sports)

Maybe some federation (even bigger like France) should invest for slash all for children and keep more invest for this, leaving less talented swimmer still in sport.

Men’s 10m Platform Quotas: 

 

@Adriano

I must say, you have a great divers in this event. Great that in good shape now, after injury.

Thanks guys! We are in after 32 years, last time Barcelona '92. First time in my life I could see polish diver at OG! I hope our divers made mors funds thanks to this. Our couch is from Ukraine (our last diver Kozdranski - Barcelona '92 used to be coach, now they are coaches of our national team). Amazing start, improve his PB, over 400 points. Perfect! We were close in synchro, and in women's trampoline. Overall good start for Poland.

Great job from Lukaszewicz! 

 

Myalin was excluded from the reserve squad of the russiab national team ob the 11th of August, 2023. 

But one year is enough to compate as a diver from Uzbekistan during OG?

Thank you for good wishes, and mentioned me. It was so nervous around 4 hours to watch. Not Rzeszutek, but I am so happy for Robert Lukaszewicz. For me he must have harder program before LA'28. Both our guys are young still. We are in good way to come back to OG after Barcelona'92!!!!! I think this is sure, because only 11 non qualified divers and 2 of them (Canada and Mexico) will be at OG for sure in synchro event. I am so happy for him, 15th place. I hope tomorrow he will increase chance and will beat some rivals or even get to the final. BTW. Guy from Uzbekistan is probably Russian, I saw sth that he was on russian champs last year. He can get the quota?

Great start for Canada,  great to see them getting quota.

I think so too, provided that out of the synchro pairs from      , at least 6 divers “double” up, which is likely.

 

Right now, the last athlete with a mathematical chance would be  Emmanuel Vazquez, but I doubt anyone past Frandiel Gomez makes it.

No place for North Korea

Guys all Top 18 are really safe

Low level of Semifinals,  sad that Poland makes terrible results under their PB

Daley wants to start in individual event?

I’m so happy for her, she’s been improving and I really think she’s a step ahead of  others divers, except the Chinese of course, and this time she proved it.

 

Also Jodoin di Mariah did a great competition and looks like she could grow even more.

 

But who will be second British diver for OG?

Bravo Italy!!! This guy is great. I hope they will add this event quickly.

Yeah, even at previous Olympics their qualification document was written in a way that it was technically possible for more than the maximum amount of athletes to qualify. They got burned in 2020 because of COVID. Already qualified athletes/nations did not compete at the World Cup so more athletes than expected qualified which is why only the finalists are now guaranteed to compete.

 

On average around 10/16 athletes compete in both individual and synchro events. France not being a diving nation might decrease the average though.

Yes this give 9-10 sure places for each event.

FINA wrote that the best efforts would be made to ensure gender balance (if possible). So this distribution is as complicated as moon voyage. 

How on earth we can have this kind  of stupid rules. 136 places, so we have 68 per gender. And next we should  give quotas until we have 68 male and 68 female divers. 

I thought Italy or Spain will take gold medal in this event during Russian ban

Noy only wikipedia. Italian federation congratulates girls with olympic quotas, if I am right

This 9 is pretty sure.

So if I’ve got this right, let’s say Toulson, Hongchan, Spendolini-Sireix, Yuxi, Wassen, Wassen, Schnell, Parratto, Agundez, Orozco, McKay all qualify themselves for Paris in synchro/individual. That would mean Miller gets an individual quota?

 

Obviously, that’ll mean we need  to secure women’s 10m synchro quotas here. 

Not at all, the number should be close in both events and overall with men's  not exceed 136. When I use 27 quotas for platform and 26 for trampolinę (12+12+2/3 continental) and took synchro names and quotas from last WC plus my prediction it was like 136 names.

I think it’s a little premature, as I don’t think they could have the criteria selection for each NOC, but I may be wrong.

For me this Top 10 is sure. Should be many doubles in women's  platform.

Just now, Josh said:

What would need to happen for Kate Miller to qualify? 

Many doubles  in trampoline and platform synchro duet.

I’ve always thought that giving the hosts and automatic quota in synchro is unfair, as more deserving teams have been left out since Rio.

On the other side, what's the problem if you have two divers make composite synchro duet???

It's  sad that this discipline has only 8 places, beyond host 7, but in 7 relays in swimming we have 16 teams, but only few could took medal.  Took some this quotas and give for diving.
