Wikipedia is wrong. Czech Republic get the reallocated Oceania quota and Poland take their place on the EU quota, America don't have a second quota.

I don't think we have a chance, but our best chance is to avoid yous, Hungary and Italy for as long as possible and have them be drawn each other or a pre qualified team. Wed played decent in parts today and contested in a couple of quarters, so if we can get our shot conversion rate up to that of Italy's I believe we can give you lot a game.

get battered 10-22 in the end. We looked promising in parts but couldn't convert our chances compared to Italy. Italy were always gonna win the group so our best chance of avoiding Hungary or Australia in the playoffs is to beat Canada.

I dunno, I'd probably wait until your federation says summat as they seems to be the ones who are confirming it for their respective countries. You can look at the results on Final if you want, which shows that what the Wikipedia says is wrong.

Yes, Poland should get the EU quota. Austria and Czech Republic both get the reallocated quotas, so going off the Wikipedia Czech Republic should replace the second American quota.

Also get a reallocation via Oceania quota, so get EU quota.

Brilliant race from Pardoe to get 3rd, even losing his cap didn't phase him. I think Robinson may have just sneaked in a reallocation in 15th.

Leah Crisp may have just sneaked in a European quota in 17th.

Really impressed with Dean Bale this week, a gold in the mixed and a 5th here. Could potentially sneak a quota if he keeps this up.

I reckon he'll just squeeze through. He could do with Achellios or one of the Italians picking up a quota at World qualifier or Europeans if he yet again fails to take his chances which would bolster his rankings. Although if he keeps performing like this he'll soon catch up to Achellios and potentially overtake him.

I will also be there for the start.

Cheers for the reminder mate. Haven't started it just yet as I've had a busy week, but I am off for a week after tomorrow so will have plenty of time to get it done.

is in.

I'll input all the marathon qualifiers from the last time I updates it in October for you mate. Should be with you in a few days, end of the week at the latest (please remind me though if it gets to that point).

Yes we did get destroyed by Hungary, and would probably get thrashed by the other 3 you mentioned above, but there are other factors such as luck of the draw in the knockouts and shock results that could sneak us into a spot. I don't expect us to qualify by any means, but being the 4th best unqualified team in a 16 team tournament that includes a mix of qualified and unqualified teams still gives us a half decent chance.

Absolutely brilliant from girls qualifying for the worlds. Probably 3/4 for the quota behind /, and potentially but we've at least given ourselves a decent chance at a Paris quota.
