Quota for Croatia and South Korea in Floor (M) 

Mislim da je Benovic uzeo kvotu 
 
edit: potvrđeno 

Nema logike, ali kad su već tu, dabogda 6 njih bilo bolji od Sikavice u kvalifikacijama 😂 i kvota osigurana 

HPS objavio da je Jere Hribar isplivao A olimpijsku normu na 50 slobodno.

Finally home  now let's take a look at Greco brackets
but keep in mind European competitions in Greco-Roman is very competitive , there are only few clear favorites. most of the quotas are hard to predict
 
60kg:
Asian totally dominated this weight at worlds, which means we were supposed to see the whole Europe here, but Nazaryan (BUL) is absent and Armenia is not here too. still a very unbalanced draw makes the situation more interesting
in top half Ciobanu couldn't dream of a better draw. his first round is a bit tricky but I think he has a clean path to the semifinal with the guy from BLR as his only half serious rival. he does stupid mistakes sometimes but barring that I can't see him losing the quota.
bottom half is a completely different story with Allahiarov, Mammadli, Abuladze, Tibilov, Basar and couple more solid wrestlers like Arnaut. we have 3 World medalists from 63kg with two of them facing each other in the first round, Turkey is using a different guy after Kerem Kamal losing in Euro. I'm not sure if that was a good idea but Basar will face Tibilov and the winner gets Kinsinger (2020 Olympian) Mammadli is the current European Champion and he is wrestling at home which will give him a better chance. World Champion L. Abuladze will face Arnaut in the 2nd round and possibly Allahiarov in QF. lots of 50/50 matches in this half but my picks are 
 
67kg: balanced draw
we have few "good" wrestlers in top half, Vancza, Nehoda, Amaev, Nasibov and even Thoresen. it's hard to pick one, Nasibov is an Olympic silver medalist but he never "shined" after Tokyo, Amaev won a bronze in Euro in his first serious 67kg competition and Nehoda had some decent results in VehbiEmre tourney few weeks ago. I think one of these 3 guys will get it.
I think Bichurin (RUS) and Can (TUR) are top favorites in bottom half. we also have Mihut and Chkhikvadze facing each other in first round. the winner most probably goes to the SF and needs one more win. Can is my pick here but he has to beat world medalist Sleiva first (terrible at 67kg) and Bichurin and Sylla (FRA) who is also good. it will be really hard for Can to win 3 tough matches. but still my picks 
 
77kg:
top half is harder, 72kg World Champ Ghanem will wrestle the Russian Tulubaev and the winner gets Nemes and the winner gets my favorite guy Gutu, we also have former World 82kg Champion Akbudak in this half with Kamenjasevic. I'm going to cross Ghaem off, he was terrible in this new weight in Euro Champ. I think it will be between SRB, RUS or TUR, also I see a small chance for CRO but I hope Gutu wins it  Nemes is really hard to score on, he is a tough guy, sometimes very boring
I see two clear fovorites in bottom half, Levai and Lomadze . maybe only 1 or 2 wrestlers like Kuvatov or Liakh can challenge them. my picks 
 
87kg:
I see 3 big names in top half, Abbasov, Bisultanov and Komraov. Bradu and Huklek are OK but I don't think they have a realistic chance to qualify. Bisultanov was great until his injury, I'm not sure about his current shape but if he is ready he can beat anybody. Abbasov is getting too many chances by Azerbaijan but he always chokes in important matches, therefore I think European Champion Komarov is the main favorite here. it will be between him and Bisultanov IMO
we have some solid wrestlers in bottom half but I think it will down to AIN/AIN semifinal match, Alirzaev won a tournament in Turkey recently. but Maskevich is very technical and can score big number if he gets his chance in par-terre. also we have the tricky Kessidis (the conman) there might be a slim chance for Khetsuriani or Mukubu. my picks are 
 
97kg:
Murtazaliev is a last minute change for Russia and oh boy this kid made me wow in European Champ. the top half is really hard but if he wrestlers as good as that tournament, that's his quota to lose. he also has a not-so-hard path to the SF (only has to beat a mediocre AZE wrestler) but the first quarter is insane with Savolainen, Kakhelasvili, Szoke and Kobliashvili, whoever survives this brutal quarter will be a bit tired too, makes things easier for Murtazaliev
no favorite here, everybody in bottom half can consider himself lucky. I'm very surprised with Turkey's entry, this guy was terrible so far, not sure why they are sending him! Venckaitis and Kajaia are favorite "on paper" but they are simply not good enough. Venckaitis had a dream run at Worlds but lost 3 matches and finished 6th and Kajaia is too old. even the Netherlands has a chance for quota here, or maybe Austria. it's really hard for me to pick one but I try something new this time , I say 
 
130kg:
I see 7 tough guys are in bottom half, any of them can steal a 1-1 win, Kuosmanen (FIN) beat our very talented young wrestler few weeks ago, so I know he is in good shape. Georgia is trying a new guy, you never can underestimate GEO in heavyweight. we also have Chernetsky and that Romanian guy with a long name. any of them can win the quota. but Fredrikas (LTU) has a bye and an easier road to the SF. as I said a 1-1 win is always possible in Super heavyweight, everybody has a chance here, and I mean really everybody
Semenov is the clear favorite in bottom half. he will face the most boring man on the planet Heiki F. Nabi in the QF (Nabi will try for a 1-1 win. that's for sure) he has to beat the winner of Kandelaki/Marvik too. Kandelaki can be dangerous sometimes. still I say 

Brackets are out. Im not at home right now. Hopefully i can write something about it at midnight 

Objavljena je repka za EP u judu. 
bila su dva pitanja: 
 
- hoće li Cvjetko nastupati (ozljeda) 
- ako da onda su ostala dva mjesta za Topolovec, Vuković, Radić i Šutalo. 
 
Zenska repka: 
Puljiz 52kg 
Topolovec 57kg
Kristo, Oberan 63kg
Matic, Cvjetko 70kg
Pavic, Prodan 78kg
Vukovic +78kg

Vjerovatno će samo Matić i Cvjetko biti nositeljice, Trebat će nam dobar ždrijeb. 
 
i muškarci nastupaju sa kompletnom ekipom, njih devet, ali to je možda osim Z. Kumrica bez očekivanja, svaka pobjeda je uspjeh. 
 
 

You mean you can't see that in the ranking list ? I took a screenshot 20 minutes ago and I still can see the sign, but if you change the month to February (to see the previous month's ranking) that sign disappears, which means it's something new.
 
that can be just a mistake though

Sorry - you are right there is a marker on her name in the World Ranking page, but it doesn't appear in the Olympic Ranking page.

This refugee team topic is getting out of control 

It’s the point, as he was stating that Canada is so diverse in sports, with potential participation in 28 of 32 sports. That  is true, but also much easier to qualify in Americas. If Canada was in Europe you would not qualify in 28 sports. 

Trenutno stanje u stolnom tenisu žene (race to Paris):

Ivana Malobabic na 15 mjestu, Arapović oko 30. 
 
tu će doći do većih promjena jer naravno ima još puno turnira do šestog mjeseca, isto tako u petom mjesecu su kontinentalne kvalifikacije (ukupno 20 kvota). Tu je za očekivati da će se ova lista prilično promijenit i najbolje će uzet te kvote. Naravno i naše će sigurno pokušati na europskim kvalama. 
 
po renkingu se dijeli maksimalno 15 kvota, a konačan broj ćemo znati početkom petog kad se podijele mixed kvote. 

I don't like him tbh  and I don't know how he managed to stay for this long as IHF president.
 
 and now he has conflicts with minister of Sport and NOC , due to this corrupted Equesterian president whom they wanted him to resign as he was the head of Egyptian NOC as well, but he didn't and Hassan Mostafa supported him till the end and threatened with sanctions over Egypt due to governmental pressure,  but they managed to make it 100 % legal and he was fired by Equesterian Federation General assembly .
 
So he is not having best times with Egypt now 

I don’t think it’s according to a sort of ranking, otherwise France would not be in Pot 4. honestly no idea how they did it. It was similar in Tokyo. 
 
but I guess as the president is from Egypt, I guess they wouldn’t disadvantage you. 

The draw for the men’s handball competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be made on 16 April, in Paris, France.
 
Pot 1 – Denmark / Spain
Pot 2 – Croatia / Norway
Pot 3 – Hungary / Germany
Pot 4 – Slovenia / France
Pot 5 – Sweden / Egypt
Pot 6 – Argentina / Japan

Group 2
 
 
26-41
 
 
qualified to Paris!
 
 
 
 

both of our athletes won the quota quite easily
 
sometimes you have to work really hard. travel around the world. participate in so many tournaments in 2-3 years to qualify but sometimes it can be very easy like today and yesterday. Taekwondo qualification system is really weird, it shouldn't be like this 
 
 

Group 2
 
 
30-33
 

Uh kakva pobjeda,ajmo rec da smo 99% unutra,bravo decki

Group 2:
 
 
35-29

barem trenutno kod muških nitko nije unutra. Cut je 72 mjesto a Coric je 75. Naravno bit će puno otkaza. 
Ajdukovic 110, Gojo 129, Prižmić 163. 
 
Za dubl Dodig/Cilic izgledaju sigurno. Ne znam u kakvim su odnosima Pavić i Mektic, sumnjam da će zaigrat zajedno. 
iskreno najbolji bi bio par Dodig/Pavic. 
 
kod žena Vekic 32, Martic 71, cut trenutno kod 75. Fett 166. 
I uvjek ostaje otvoreno ko uopce zeli igrati. Ne bi me iznenadilo da Coric npr ne bude igrao. 
 

 
 

maybe, just maybe we are reading it wrongly. no way WT can do such a thing, that's like demolishing the Oceania qualifier. because I highly doubt we will see more than 3 competitors in any of those 8 events. maybe max 1 or 2
 
I think only when it comes to "reallocationg the quotas" they won't give it to the next guy if there are less than 4 competitors and that re-allocated quota will go to the World Ranking. 

Yes WT has to do something urgently 
 
When it comes to the Greek. To be frank this is not a surprise. Despite the seeding and top 20 ranking I didn’t have them on my list as potential qualifiers as there is only two quotas and ranking is not always the best indicator. 
 
the only real surprise is Divkovic from Slovenia and to some extent Matonti and Stolbova.
 
and that Husic went out that early. 

Golubić dominantno uzeo kvotu, bravo!
