European QT draw main round 1st stage men http://www.ittf.com//Ol_Qual/2016EU/MEN_1st_STAGE.pdf women http://www.ittf.com//Ol_Qual/2016EU/WOMEN_1st_STAGE.pdf

Marsic out in the Quarterfinals http://www.boks-savez.hr/hbs/oi-kvalifikacije-viceprvkinja-europe-zaustavila-marsic/ Actually how does it work with the quota at the WCH. What if someone who won the quota at the ECH is among top 4?

Bad news for Zlatko Kumric. After the continental championship in Oceania and Africa there were a lot of changes in the judo rankings. He lost his continental quota due to big step forward for a australian guy. Now european continental quota currently is going to hungary and great britain. Somehow stupid that an australian guy by just winning two matches (against nzl and fiji) earns 400 points Kumric needs a very good result at th upcoming European Championship, same as Miskovic, And Matic is now also under danger to loose at least her autmoatic qualification, and then she would block the continental quota for the others two. There are two more tournaments in May (AZE and KAZ), but crotian judoka are not registered for that two yet. If not our federation is crazy

It seems he does not go against Jakoubowski, but the French at least according to the schedule

Negative surprise was Primorac with 0-4 against Serbian guy. Tian Yuan as expected no chance against Pavlovich (BLR). Tubikanec probably will have her important match tomorrow to reach main round. Very positive surprise is Rakovec. The portuguese is number 17 here in the ranking. I watch Tan and he looks quite good so far. Both games were absolutly easy wins.

Easy win for Ruiwu Tan against Rasmussen (DEN) 4-0

You are right. Gacina is qualified as there is only few weeks left unitl the ranking will be applied. Considering the fact that majority of Asian players will qualify through their local tournament he will be among 20 top players. The others have the chance only here and it will be very hard. I would be very surprised if they manage. I somehow hope for Primorac because it would be his 8th Olympic Games. We could end up only with one player in Rio.

Zoran Primorac wins his first match at the Table Tennis EQ gainst Udra (LIT) 4-3. Surprisingly close match as Udra is only number 320 in the ranking. That should be enough to advance to the main round (R64). He still plays gainst Gorak (POL) and Peto (SRB). Best 3 advance to the main round, but ranking in the group is important to avoid good players in the main round. Tan Ruiwu plays against Golovanov (BUL), Rasmussen (DEN) and Pattantyus (HUN). Gacina is already qualified for the main round. He is probably anway save for Olympics and will qualify via ranking if he does not manage here. Ladies: Rakovac play against Shao (POR) and Toliou (GRE) Tian plays against Pavlovich (BLR) and Stuckyte (LIT). According to my understanding they are both already safe for the main round as in group of 3 players, it is only about better starting position. Tubikanec plays against Piccolin (ITA), Strbikova (CZE), Eerland (NED).

croatia wins easily, and the scandinavians did not suceed with their arranging

both boxers today lost, komadina and platnic so we are left only with babic and the lady of course

This is really a joke, but I guess that was the idea. Still will not be enough

obviosuly they are targeting to be in the top 7 non qualified teams, which would mean a quota, but honestly i doubt it, as you said the team is too weak and there are too many european nations still without quota

our team for the fencing european qualification in Prague: Ivan Komsic (f) Ivan Lovric (e) Josip Brajdic (s) Marcela Dajcic (f) Toncica Topic (e)

Yes it is his son. He won the croatian championship recently. That justifis it, but of course I don't know if it was fair fight. I personally think our best chance is in 91kg.

Our team is known now: Komadina 60kg Pijetraj 64kg Zeljko 69kg Plantic 75kg Babić 91 kg

Neither do I. Maybe the lady. I think it is Anamarija Marsic, she was 3rd at ECH. I don't even know who the five guys could be. I guess Komadina will be there, maybe Plantic, Babić or Calic, Zeljko? No clue.

HBS is sending 5 boxers and 1 female to the European OGQ in Turkey. Names not announced yet.

Are you sure? I thought IRL and USA are qualified. Who is still in front of them?

are they next on the list in case someone gives back the quota?

does anybody knowwhat happend to our woman sailing team that they didnot compete?

Same for the second race. If that is correct then I am afraid it means bye rio for our ladies. It looks better in RSX. Is Belarus actually already qualified or not?

Valentina Mužarić wins in Atlanta with 17.37m in shot put. Not bad for first outdoor meeting. Still 38cm missing.

In total 4 tournaments left. Next week grand prix in turkey There are european championship end of April, one grand slam in may and one more grand prix. There is also a masters end of may but only for top 8 per category. So still enough chances but I guess she will have to win one or be two times in the final.

3rd place (trap) for Giovanni Cernogoraz at World Cup in Nicosia. He was 6th in the qualification, 20th place for Josip and only 61st for Anton Glasinovic. This weekend we have Judo Grand Prix in Georgia which could be very important for Kumric and Miskovic, also Djakovic and Sutalo are there. I dont know what is going on with Barbara Matic (injury?) and Maranic. Maranic has still a small theoretical chance to qualify. Sailing in Mallorca is starting on Saturday. Croatia still has a chance for 2 additonal quotas (RSX men and 49er woman) Also the outdoor season in athletics starts slowly. Halfmarathon championship in Cardiff with Daniel Daly, which is his first start for Croatia, he will try to reach the entry standard in marathon, he is missing 2 minutes now. We have Croatian winter championship in Pula (400-3000m), altough i dont expect anything there. Also in the USA the college outdoor season is starting and it will be interesting seeing Flip Mihaljevic in discus (and shot put of course) and Valentina Muzaric in shot put over the next few weeks. Anton Loncar (swimming) is competing at the NCAA Chmapionship in USA, but no chance for quota as the competion is in yards. But could be good indication.
