a lot of turnarounds here...
while Russia, despite an awful outing today, keep their lead in the ranking with some margin, France consolidate their score and overtake Korea in second place...
the Asians, however, are still 3rd with quite a few points margin over the following European pack including Italy, Hungary (still to be seen who's going to be 4th and who's going to be 5th at the end of the day, depending on the outcome of the final matches) and Ukraine, who are going to get a lot closer to the qualification line...
the fight for the last ranking spot and the European continental place will be very entertaining (for neutral spectators...heartbreaking for the 3 teams involved and their fans)...
considering the current trend, however, Italy are the main candidate to end the campaign on the wrong side (unless a miracle happens in the lower part of the ranking and someone are capable of a great comeback and pushes Tunisia out of the top 16, which is highly unlikely...especially after today's event)...
the USA are also not completely out of the top 4, but it's more a theoretical chance than a true target for them...however they keep steadily the qualification spot through the continental ranking, as Canada are definitely too far away to be a serious threat...
finally, as written above, Tunisia, despite losing 1 or 2 positions in the OQR are still well safe among the top 16 of the OQR, which is what they need to qualify to the Tokyo Games...
EDIT: updated after the end of the tournament...
