Steffen Olsen of is the top ranked athlete in 50x3 Men. If he wins the European quota, ranking quota will go to Jan Lochbihler of Ziva Dvorsak of is the top ranked athlete in 50x3 Women. If she wins the European quota, ranking quota will go to Arina Altukhova of Agate Rasmane of is the top ranked athlete in 25m Pistol Women. If she wins the European quota, ranking quota will go to Samantha Karen Quezada of

Overall. You qualify an athlete in any event, through any means (ranking, competition, tripartite or even reallocation), you are ineligible for any more reallocations.

All reallocations will go to NOC with no qualified shooters.

She was there in the entry list. I am seeing some changes in other events as well. Seems we can’t trust the entry list.

As far as I remember Aoife Gormally is competing here

Ganemat came very close yesterday. At present is sure of Olympic quota but if she wins the quota at European qualifiers, it would go to . If Ganemat had gotten silver instead of Bronze, she would have been next in line to instead of . We are eligible for ranking quota only in 25m Pistol Men, Skeet W and Trap M/W. Skeet was a narrow miss. In Trap Men, we have to win Gold and hope that gets European quota, anything else is not good enough. In Trap Women, we have to overcome 350 point gap over and hope that wins the European quota. In 25m Pistol Men, there are only 15 entries, 4 of whom are not eligible. So, out of the remaining 11 shooters (x3, x2, x2, , , , ) the one who finishes highest will get the ranking quota. There is an additional quota on offer at European Championships, so the one finishing second also has a chance.

.

There is a small issue with athletes skipping the European qualifiers. Their teammates may qualify there and then they would be out of Olympics.

Official rankings will be released tomorrow but it should be Federico Gill in Men’s Skeet and Amber Hill followed by Zoya Kravchenko

Yes, Gil should get the quota in Skeet as I don’t think Lonato WC will count towards ranking

ISSF has published new rankings for Air events. Nam Taeyun of and Felipe Almeida Wu of are the top ranked shooters in 10m Air Rifle and 10m Air Pistol Men events respectively and hence should qualify for Tokyo. In Women’s Air Rifle, Aneta Stankeiwicz of is the top ranked shooter followed by Jenny Stenne of . If European quotas are won by Poland and Norway, ranking quota will go to Urska Kuharic In Women’s Air Pistol, Viktoria Chaika of is the top ranked athlete but she has 2 chances to qualify at European championships. Next in line is Alejandra Zavala Vazquez

One small advice to all of you: Be extremely wary of anyone improving their PB by a big margin out of the blue just before Olympics. They are not likely to be near their previous PB as well in Olympics. Murali and Avinash don’t come in this category as their progression is gradual and not exponential.

Yes. But, we can either exchange in Men or Women, not both. It all depends on who is selected in 10m events. If Anjum is selected in 10m event (most likely case at present), Chinki’s quota will be swapped for a Shotgun quota. If Anjum is not selected in 10m, Chinki’s quota will be swapped for Anjum in 50x3. If Tomar is selected in 10m (unlikely), a Rifle quota will be swapped either in Trap or in 25m Pistol, if Anish/others fail to get the quota. But, in that case we will simply return Chinki’s quota.

With Apoorvi out, Maneesha’s chances have improved a lot. Moreover, there is decision to be made in 1m Air Rifle as well. Babuta has overtaken Deepak in ranking and Tomar isn’t far behind.

Chaika has two chances in European championships. She is good in both pistol events. I think will only be a couple of points ahead of (may be tied as well), so need to wait and watch for that as well.

Yes. Most likely he will get the ranking quota.

In 10m Air Pistol Women, are eligible for ranking quota and in finals. In 10m Air Pistol Men, are eligible for ranking quota and in finals. I don't think anyone else can get enough ranking points to topple them.

Yes. Even if Turkish guy wins, De Filippis can still be ahead of him with a top 10 finish.

Since you already have a quota in Trap, you are not eligible for ranking quota. In Men's Trap it is basically between Italy and Germany for ranking quota. Mauro has 450 points lead over Andreas and the only way someone else can overtake either of them is if they win a medal here while Mauro and Andreas miss out on points.

I am assuming it will be 2020 ranking points plus ranking points from Delhi World Cup. Regarding the deduction of points each month, more than the Delhi WC points, question is about existing points. Will some of those points expire? Or will they go down in the same ratio?

My mistake. I meant Norway Jenny Stenne instead of Germany. Also, how does Norway have a pass in 10m Rifle? At present Jenny Stenne has 300 points while Polish girls have less than 20 points. If the Polish girls finish below 5th, they won't get enough points to overtake Jenny. Also, there are still two more quotas for European girls remaining. So, it is possible that Poland and Norway both qualify there and Italian Petra Zubasling will get the ranking quota.

By my calculations, Taeyun Nam of will win the ranking quota for 10m Air Rifle Men. For 10m Air Rifle Women, it is between Germany and Poland depending on tomorrow’s final and European qualifiers.

I think Vetter, Hofmann and Kirt are the favourites for medal at present. Neeraj is surely part of the next batch alongside other Germans, Matusevicius, Cheng, Yego, Krukowski, etc. Considering his past performance, I am hopeful that he would be able to throw 90+ in Tokyo and get a medal, but as of today, I would say he is only a dark horse for a medal. Overall, I agree that this is our best chance of Olympic athlete medal since Anju Bobby George. Regarding Finals, apart from the ones you mentioned, I would put Annu Rani as long shot for Final as well.

Though I agree that Murali is not a medal chance, he himself is saying he has only 20% chance for a medal, which also I think is higher compared to reality. I don't think you can compare Murali's performance with Renjith's. Murali has been consistently jumping over 8m. Even yesterday, all 5 of his jumps were over 8m. While, Renjith improved his PB by a large amount. I don't remember the full numbers, but it was something like he was jumping in early 16m range and all of a sudden he had a 17.5 range jump. Such a feat is always suspect. That is not the case with Murali. Based on his recent performances, we can expect him to have a jump of around 8 - 8.10m jump. To be a medal contender, he needs to improve that to 8.40 (his estimate) - 8.50m.
