So the British have released a second set of qualification standards.
If an athlete fails to reach the Olympic standard then these must be achieved before GBR will allow them to enter via the World Athletics rankings system

I did a big Excel document for PyeongChang in 2018, largely for the purposes of tracking American television coverage.  So I'm doing something similar here.  Not quite the same as the line by line version you have, but once we get closer to the Olympics, I'll upload it to a shared site so I can reference it from here.

There is an accreditation system where NOCs have to put all their potential representatives long before the Olympics. It was well known since quite long ago that DJ won't be in Tokyo, he is not even in any Olympic Ranking simulation, although as the World Ranking leader he should open this one as well.

I think the top 5 in the medal table at the Olympics will be:
1) Norway
2/3) Germany/China
4) USA
5) Russia

So happy our girl Theodora Gkountoura has officially qualified now! In 2019 she became the first Greek fencer to win a medal at the World Championships. Now it's time for her to become the first Greek fencer to win an Olympic medal since 1896!

so, the women's Team Sabre field is completed...
 
 Russia
 Italy
 France
 South Korea
 Hungary
 United States
 China
 Tunisia
 
in the women's Individual Sabre, instead, we have to wait for the Continental tournaments, but so far we already have 3 fencers from any of the 8 Nations qualified to the Team competition, possibly some Japanese wild cards and the qualified athletes via World ranking:
 
 Olga Kharlan
 Theodora Gkountoura
 Misaki Emura
 Gabriella Page
 Nada Hafez
 Bhavani Devi Chadalavada

I thought that I should do this comparison between Tokyo and the previous Olympic team events. I will edit this post later today when Russia or France qualifies in Men's sabre.

before someone asks, he was born and raised in Italy (his parents are from Nigeria, but they've been living in Italy for many years now)...
 
he already represented Italy in the junior ranks (he was 6th at the 2017 junior Europeans) and now he's studying at the Oregon University...

Her younger brother Henry also seems very talented, maybe he will also become world class. 

the rest of Asian qualifiers 2nd round will be held in June and one venue is announced for each group.
 
in 6 groups the top seed team is going to host the other 4 teams, only two top seeds won't host it. Australia and Iran. I assume Australia didn't want it, but Iran wanted it desperately and everybody here is angry about the new FIFA/AFC decision. because Bahrain will host the group which is worst possible host for any Iranian team. any other country would be fine.
 
it will be very hot in KSA, USA, KUW, BRN and QAT in June but who cares. they lobby better in AFC and host most important competitions. CHN, JPN and KOR will host the remaining 3 groups. apparently no other AFC match will be held in Iran in near future, because their sponsors can't work here because of the sanctions!
 
when Iran lost to Bahrain and Iraq with that conman Wilmots. we were hoping to make up for that at home. but now again we have to play in Bahrain. Iran has to win all remaining 4 matches to make sure about the qualification. I think 10 points will be enough too (not a sure thing though)
 
but our football NT usually plays better in Asia with its back against the wall. 2006 and 2014 WCQ were mission impossibles (they had to win some away matches in a row to qualify) but they made it. let's see if our new coach can survive the biggest task of his coaching career. it doesn't look like mission impossible on paper, Iran has a much better team than both IRQ and BRN but I know our neighbors , they always play 10 times better when they face Iran

I haven't see Brazil play but I assume that Norway and Brazil are already qualified.
 
For the trio Germany/Sweden/Slovenia it seems quite impredictible right now. Germany and Sweden were quite on and off and Slovenia was miles away from Algeria so next mach will tell us. I think Sweden is better then the two others are at the same level.
 
I'm really excited by France-Croatia coming in a few hours, hope to see a great match.

zomfg... Germany saves the draw within the last seconds. At least they proved there is heart in the team. The relevance of Olympic qualification cannot be underestimated for the Germans. Missing the Games would be a disaster.

That's nice. I'm struggling with loving my country :D but I'm glad to live here
 
SWE and SLO would both absolutely deserve qualification after their strong performances at the World Championships. Very very hard group. I hope GER somehow sneaks through^^
