Difficult to say, he should be good for European spot if Orsag stay in top 8 and Mart Seim doesn't show in Colombia.

Is he paid for doing the coach or is a hobby? He doesn't know anything on how the ranking works, the final placement doesn't matter, the important thing is the total kg lifted, and there is no chance for Veronyka to qualify. She has a lot of European lifters ahead of her.

The Turkish guy will overtake Zanni, but I think both will finish in top 8 and so also Kingue Matam will fly to Tokyo(he managed to defend some points from Georgia) , the French girl in59 kg I think she will qualify too. There is still the Colombian tournament for European weightlifters but I don't think it will change a lot.

Pity for Zanni, 2 bad mistakes in the clean, in the past days he did 178kg in training. For the Olympic pass should be 99,9% done.

This time the WA standards are very, very, very hard and we will send every athletes who will achieve it, with some different windows of time. In swimming it's not understandable how you can ask 14.50.0 in 1500 freestyle,1. 56.40 in 200 backstroke, or not sending in 200 butterfly with 1.56.10(1.55.5 the time we ask, probably it will be enough for final) , it's a semifinal time, or asking 2.07.5 in 200 butterfly women, it's probably very close to a final time, or 4.13.0 in 400 medley and 59.30 in 100 breastroke, i don't agree with our federation, in this way we are leaving home swimmer that have great chances of semifinal and I think that in the end our federation will fill some of these spots that will remain free.

I agree with you, also in Italy we have very very difficult times to achieve to book the ticket for individual races to Tokyo, for examples 14.50.0 in 1500 free, 1.55.5 in 200 butterfly, 1.46.4 in 200 free, 4.13.0 in 400 medley, 51.5 in 100 butterfly,59. 3 in 100 breastroke, 48.20 in 100 free,21. 79 in 50 free, for men. For women 24.6 in 50 free, 4.06 in 400 free, 2.11.0 in 200 medley, 2.07.5 in 200 butterfly, 2.23.9 in 200 breastroke. In my opinion these times are too difficult, basically only very, very good swimmers can achieve these times, if you are a quite good swimmer you stay at home. I think the Fina limits are already quite difficult, probably too easy only in 800 and 1500 freestyle, but in the the other races are good enough to fly to Tokyo.

You are right, the Colombian is suspended and China will likely skip this weight, in this case probably both France and Turkey will be in Tokyo.

I think that at least Chn, Ind, INA, USA, Col, VIE, Dom, PNG will finish ahead of both European and will be selected by their Noc.

It's the second one, but for looking like that , there is something suspicious...

I know, but I think that at the end there will be 8 weightlifters that will be selectioned by their Noc ahead of Erdogan and Michel, so only 1 of them will go with European pass, but it's only my prediction.

If she can compete in women weightlifting, I don't see any reason why Semenia can't compete in women 800 metres....

She must stay ahead of Erdogan, now I think she is still ahead but with few points of margin, there is still 1 tournament in Colombia open for European athletes, I think both have to fly there.

Anais Michel will be probably some points ahead of Erdogan (i am not sure, it's about very few points) i think both will fly to Colombia for the last tournament. I think they have no chance to finish in top 8, PNG and DOM have great chances to overtake both of them.

Alberto Razzetti. 1. 57. 13 200 medley Yesterday also Stafano Ballo qualified in 200 free but only for the 4x200relay swimming 1.46.80 not for the individual race. Elena Di Liddo qualified for the mixed relay swimming 57.8 in 100 butterfly, but not for individual race.

Martina Carraro. 1.05.86 NR 100 breastroke Arianna Castiglioni is out despite swimming 1.06.00. We will see if she will be brought to Tokyo swimming in the medley relay

I think the World Cup in Tokyo is cancelled...... Bah.... Fina will try to find another place and date to hold the World cup

Italian swimming Championships Sara Franceschi . 4.37.06 400 medley

Of course, I forgot also Asian countries like South Korea, China, Kazakistan, Japan.

I don't think so, the reigning Olympic champion is Australian, we had recently Olympic medallist from Brazil and Mexico, 1 guatemaltecan guy very strong, also some athletes from Chile quite good, many boys and girls from Egypt very strong, in Europe is well spreaded, GB, France, Germany, Belarus Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Italy,Austria, Turkey, Poland and others have very strong pentathletes.

I think it's not right, the shooters won't lose points from March 2020 ranking, I think De Filippis has the quota, waiting for the European championship

Andreas is not in Delhi, I think only the Turkish guy winning the competition can take the quota from De Filippis

The French girl is still young, she is 22, but I hope she is well known by Bulgarian staff, she already won 2 medals in World Championships when she was very young, then she had minor results in last 2 years, but she is very talented and will be a medal contender in Tokyo.

They are 1000 direct points, but usually the ranking worked in 12 months period, so every month the shooters lost 1/12 of the points obtained the month before but nowadays I don't know if they will froze the ranking after New Delhi, the April one, it's not clear.

Norway has actually the pass in women 10m rifle, tomorrow Poland can take it, Germany is out of contention

For the ranking only the points of Delhi will be added, then the ranking will be closed.
