    Can decline the mens Trap and instead get the Womans trap?

    Arthur Lanigan O’Keefe in Modern Pentathlon. Injured hip. ps. No idea how to insert flag!
  3. Oldira
    What about the two tripartite spots?
  4. Oldira
    Arthur Lanigan O’Keefe is injured and won’t be going to Tokyo even if he qualifies.

    WTAF? Actually I remember some talk of something similar in 2016.
  6. Oldira
    That will be three sports that we had no competitors in 2016. Judo, Canoeing and Taekwondo. Probably shooting too.
  7. Oldira
    So in theory about 1/3 of the field in the 100m could be universality places? Some events will have few, if any from the rankings so.
  8. Oldira
    I think the universality places are in addition to the 56 qualifiers. In theory every country could send an athlete to compete in the 100 m if they had no other athletics qualifier. there were 23 universality places in 100m in 2016. But I could be very wrong.

    That’s what I thought too on the same evidence. Me may be ok provided a few lads ranked in the 40s don’t finish in the top 20. Although he won’t go to Tokyo just to be there.
  10. Oldira
    Any word on AOK in pentathlon? Is he competing in World Champs?

    The IOC told sporting federations to reallocate North Koreas quotas so it looks now that Megan Ryan can be officially included in Team Ireland.
  12. Oldira
    I checked the 4 x 100 results from 2016. Jamaicas women got 6 medals to include the 2 runners who ran in the heats but not the final. Unless the rule was changed for 2020 and I find no record of that
  13. Oldira
    There were two Koreans ahead of him and only 1 counts.
  14. Oldira
    But I have seen countries use different squads in the heats and the finals? Well at least two athletes. How could that be if the have to nominate just 4 in advance
  15. Oldira
    Is the really not a squad of six?
  16. Oldira
    I’d definitely include 8 swimmers..4 plus the 4 x 200m relay team. Also I think that divers will be ok. There is no way FINA can exclude them after saying they had qualified on their website. I’d be far less confident about the medley relay. An awful lot of our athletes are close to the cut off on both sides. We could have a load or just a handful. The next couple of weeks will be seriously interesting. I think Nadia Power is now ranked 29 so is probably safe

    The women’s Trap is a reallocation of a host country spot while the men’s trap is a reallocation of a tripartite spot. I think the host country spot takes precedence
  18. Oldira
    True. But FINA have already screwed up the Diving..again affecting Ireland..so the IOC may have lost patience
  19. Oldira
    Two are qualified and a third is a member of the 4x200 team so only one swimmer directly affected.
  20. Oldira
    According to sources here there is no change in the situation. Ireland still keeping the spot. It’s wishful thinking by the Greeks
  21. Oldira
    Whoever wrote that article should be horse whipped. ‘Gossipy Irish’?
  22. Oldira
    All three of the women are definitely medal contenders.
  23. Oldira
    I was always a tad suspicious of 1/100 of a second on home soil. That may be unfair on my part but it didnt smell right
  24. Oldira
    She was ranked 20th in the world in Trap and Ireland has no shooting quota so I would think high.
  25. Oldira
    That’s zero consolation to the affected divers and will rightly lead to court action.
