Are you sure about Spain's quota?

I was reading the qualification system and it says "The eight (8) highest placed male and the 8 highest placed female athletes based on the results of the Finals", so I think that only those gymnasts qualifed for the final could obtain the quota, and the rest are reallocated to World Cup ranking.

Furthermore, our national federation has not said anything about the quota (but they tend to ignore trampoline, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't notice).

Congrats @bestmen!

I am looking forward to see what you will prepare.

Our team is not strong at all... The victory today against Romania has been a surprise, but Hungary and Montenegro should win against Spain.

My Predictions fot Tokyo 2020

 

I think  will qualify instead of an Asian team. British girls played very well last summer and I think they could even beat Spain in a good day.

No announcements or explanations for this change by FIBA? Great transparency as always.

According to our federation, FIBA miscalculated Czech points.

 2-0 

 Roberto Bautista 2-0 (7-6, 6-3) Félix Auger-Aliassime 

 Rafael Nadal 2-0 (6-3, 7-6) Denis Shapovalov 

I don't know if it is because of the format or because the final has only lasted 4 sets, but I have not celebrated this victory as much as I did the previous 4 times Spain won the Davis Cup...

Anyway, Nadal is simply incredible, but today, the star of the team has been Roberto. His father died 5 days ago and this game was very emotional for him.

María Teresa Díaz has reached T16 for the 3rd time in a row (European, Worlds and WC El Cairo) and she is now 9.3 points in front of the best Polish fencer (8 if we consider only 3 results) and only 1.7 points behind Fanny Kreiss! If tomorrow Germany or Hungary are able to overcome Poland in the team's event, she would provisionally get the 2nd European spot to Tokyo, which would be a very huge surprise. I hope she could make it!

Furthermore, Yulen Pereira and Araceli Navarro have also reached T16, but it is not enough to get the Olympic spot. Pereira is now 12 points behind Verwijlen, while Araceli would need a medal to catch the Greek fencer, which is very unlikely, so probably both will have to go to the Pre-Olympic. Anyway, I'm glad to see how our level has increased during these last few years. 5 seasons ago, reaching a T16 was almost impossible for us and now we have had 3 in the same day (and Carlos Llavador T8 in Bonn).

Why is Spain using Feliciano López when they have Bautista-Agut and Carreño? Are both injured or they just want to make it harder for Nadal 

 The official version is that Carreño is injured, but it seems the captain was not very happy with the 3rd set played by Carreño yesterday, so he decided to select an experimented player as Feliciano. It has not been a very good idea. Anyway, I did not expect to win that point.

Fired? Won't be Moreno the 2nd coach after Enrique's comeback?

No, surprisingly he won't (some media here say that Luis Enrique was "angry" with him because Moreno didn't follow the advices/instructions Enrique gave him while he was out). Apparently, Moreno was told just after the game that he will not be part of the staff and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak publically to explain what happened.

It's a pity for Moreno, because although it's true he was not experienced enough to be the main coach of the team, I hoped he would remain as 2nd coach.

This format is a shame. Nobody is going to pay 45€ on weekdays to watch a game that could last 8 or even 9 hours!

 5-0 

Furtehrmore, it looks like we have fired our coach

Wow! That quota would be completely unexpected and I don't think we deserve it considering how our federarion doesn't care at all about eventing...

¡Felicidades @mrv86!

I was rooting for Mexico here, so I'm glad you won against the US. I hope next year Cuba could also qualify, although I'm not very optimistic.

Nadal 

Amazing comeback today against Medvedev!

So no 12 points for Spain but 6th place at the end! I was expecting 15th-20th place, so I'm really happy with our performance here...

Congrulations @heywoodu! And also @Vektor @Bohemia @Benolympique for the team's gold medal

¡Gracias @mrv86!

Tanks a lot @Cobi 

I had already listened that song before and I really liked it. I have to say that it was very hard to rank the 2nd-9th songs and I changed the order several times, so you could have obtained a few more points from Spain!

hace 7 minutos, Vektor dijo:

Well, that's probably the end of our streak, but it sure was a great and unexpected one. 

Sorry  You were my 11th position after the first listening, but after the second I finally placed Hungary 14th (2nd reserve). Same case with Argentina.

Wow! I didn't expect US giving the 12 points to a song that criticizes American behavior in Latin America

so, with the past weekend's events completed, the 2019 Satellite Circuit is over...

 

from next week on, it's the real stuff...with the Olympic qualification well in sight!

 

I just can't wait for it!

Do you think Spain will be able to qualify at least one fencer? We already missed London and Rio and it would be quite disappointing to miss the Olympics for 3rd time in a row, but European spots are really difficult to achieve without having a top team.

What a match! It is very tough to see the Irish players at the end of the game. It might be one of the worst forms of losing an Olympics quota...
