You are correct. The Archery federation announced that World Archery just confirmed to our delegation the quota in W Singles thanks to the 7th place at the tournament, behind 2x ESP 2 FRA and 2x TUR. Denisa Baránková will compete in Tokyo, she will experience her Olympic debut after beating in "sort of internal qualifier" Alexandra Longová (who was in Rio 2016) in the 2nd round and this is enough for her to use the NOC quota for Tokyo

Are you sure it is for the best ranked (higher seed) and not for a eventual play-off match between the losers to ESP (in this case no match is necessary since FRA has a semifinalist and thus EST should be the qualified) ?

I do not think it is correct. why and how would we won this quota, our athlete lost to FRA in the quarterfinlas, ESP girls in semis advanced by eliminating FRA & EST. Even our federation has not updated anything, other medias claiming Denisa lost the ticket to the french girl in the last qualfying match, nothing about eventual reallocation.

I believe the M Worlds are the only tournament with the serpentine system not based by last tournament standing but the actual World ranking. But I am not 100% sure, now, I´ll look later if they changed it or not Anyway even on the Worlds standing it would be impossibe 14th GB would be with 15th BLR, 16th ITA would be with 13th & 12th

Oh yes, my bad 14:15 & 18:15 sorry

Especially, being twice almost eliminated in this tournament, when one just think that needed just a win over alrady eliminated to qualify and eiminate Canada, but somehow Norway won, the next day & needed a tie after 60 minutes to qualify both of them and eiminate Canada. Now I start to believe Canada will win this whole champs

We are 40 seconds from the moment all 4 teams from Group B will be in semifinals

wow Canada eliminated Russia in overtime

Yep, he was smiling all the way today after his second run. Still a long shot to qualify for Tokyo, but it is very nice to see him fighting until the very end. Would be obviously his only chance for the Olympics in his life. He already feel like a grandpa in his close to 40s among all other teenagers participants
