Wow Sharon van Rouwendaal does it again! By far the most underrated athlete in the Netherlands, but such a nice person. After all her Olympic medals (gold in Rio, silver in Tokyo), World titles and European titles, this title is once again more than deserved.

Big and very interesting battle for the Dutch Olympic ticket between Luc van Opzeeland (currently 1st) and Kiran Badloe (currently 4th). Badloe is the reigning Olympic champion in the RS:X and is now fighting for his last chance to qualify for Paris/Marseille. 

meanwhile, at the top of the men's standings,  Luc Van Opzeeland and  Nicolò Renna have already destroyed the entire field (the 3rd ranked,  Tom Reuveney is 33.5 pts behind the 2nd ranked Renna)
 
they're just a class apart, I'd be really upset if the Olympic Gold and Silver won't be a close fight between those 2 guys
 
in the top 10, there are 4 surfers from  and 2 from , then 1 each from  and  
 
 
in the women's ranking,  Emma Wilson has a comfortable (20 pts) lead  Pilar Lamdrid Trueba, who also has a big margin over the 3rd ranked,  Katy Spichakov
 
in the top 10, there are 4 girls from , meanwhile  and  have 1 surfer each one
 
 
in any case, it's important to remember that the medal stages will eventually reshuffle the entire field, with the only exception of the series winner, who's sure to get at least the Bronze medal (thanks to the craziest format man can find in the sport)

Unfortunately I had to decide not to go. I didn't have the chance to buy the tickets I wanted, so I'll lie on the couch for the entire two weeks ...
 
I have set my sights on Milano 2026 or LA 2028!

I'm so ready for the Paris trip!! I just booked my train tickets to Paris! Tickets, accomodation, travel: everything ready now!
 
And I recently bought tickets for 2 days at the TeamNL House as well!

Don't worry for your women's volleyball team, they will qualify in the end. Dutch volleyball women are masters in screwing up qualifications for the Games. Besides that, Canada simply has a better team with a few exceptional players, while the Dutch team no longer has any real stars like Sloetjes, De Kruijff or Flier.
 
Speaking of The Netherlands, already 142 quota! Depends on handball, football and volleyball women if we exceed the number of 200 athletes.

Six months too long! I'm not getting any younger 

Back in the days when   and  were the super powers of speed skating....

already had the quotas from they continentals. If they win, this happens:
 
 
 
ASIA ·  quota goes to >  (this Asian Games quota has priority over Asian Championships)
ASIA ·  or  quota goes to >   if they won too goes to >  then >  then > (  then >)  then >  then >  then is imposible more
 
NAM ·   quota goes to >   then >  then >  then >  then >  then >   then is imposible more
 
SAM ·  or   quota goes to >  then >   then >  then >  then >  then > ¿Last chance regata reallocation?
 
OCEANIA ·  quota goes to > ¿Last chance regata reallocation?

0-1
 
 
 qualified.

We also no longer have to take Netherlands into account after a 12-goals defeat against Denmark and the loss of one the key players. After this mega defeat I don't see them winning against Norway, Slovenia and Portugal anymore.

So looking at the final Olympic qualifier, currently are already qualified to the Olympics while will qualify through the World quota (provided they don't qualify here). could qualify as a World team should one of the previously mentioned European teams and/or Egypt qualify through their respective continental qualifier. That means for to have any chance at making the Olympics they will need to finish as the two highest ranked eligible teams to get the European quota.
 
Despite failing to reach the Main Round will compete at the OQT as "World 1"

Hahaha, all Dutch fans are still partying here in Eindhoven. Wonderful tournament for our girls with a great finish. Next month the WCh in Doha starts, not really looking forward to it. Too much tournaments in a short period. 

Clearly field hockey is more popular than water polo

That characterizes the true fan. But don't be afraid: Greece will keep the quota.

Thank you. And on top of that ... we have a Greek coach: Eva Doudesis.
 
I'm very happy the best European countries will qualify for the Games, because for me it's almost sure  and  will qualify as well. And of course happy for  and  -medals at the ECh.

Thank you, and congratulations to the Dutch team for the gold! You were our non-qualification sisters for a while. First in London 2012 when you were defending Olympic champions and we were world champions, then in 2016 we both also missed.
 
I am glad to see you succeed since then (although you always beat us now), and also a lot of Dutch girls play and have played for Greek clubs in their careers

I had a nightmare last night, that FINA decided to change the rules for Olympic qualification and Italy got to play against Germany and if they won, they would take our quota
