What result does Aktas need at the European Championships to finish first in the men's 84kg ranking?

Denmark, Germany and Norway.

Nope. starting in the final is enough: Olympic relay fields take shape at World Athletics Relays Silesia 21 | PRESS-RELEASES | WRE 21 | World Athletics

Same in Germany.

We, too.

I think there are two quotas in the 4x100 W still left. Italy and Switzerland made it to the final both in Doha and here.

I'm not sure yet. The last exchange was awfully close.

Your 4x100 W will qualify anyway, even if they shouldn't manage to do it today. There's no way they will not qualify with a 42,28.

For example here: Atletizm.pdf (olimpiyatkomitesi.org.tr) You can also see than the qualification is mentioned on all preview articles on the World Athletics site.

It is. The finalists qualify to Tokyo. They have changed the original qualification rules during the pandemic.

What a pleasant surprise. Congrats to the German Duo.

If a relay made it to the final and loses the baton in the final, are they qualified for Tokyo or aren't they?

According to the SID-article (German news agency) it is possible in all disciplines that haven't started last year. Hammer won the deciding fight against Scheurich and got nominated.

Germany has slightly changed the team for the European Qualifier. Christina Hammer will participate instead of Sarah Scheurich in women's 75kg.

Javelin, Women Victoria Hudson 64,68 metres in Eisenstadt

Congrats to Jelynska, but what was Marino thinking?

Kryvytska in the final.

Thanks!

Maximilian Schachmann will not start at the Tour de France this year, because his focus is on the Olympics.

I made the very optimistic guess and said zero because I think the athletes will be vaccinated.

Yes, with 1/100 seconds they made it. Christian Diener with the national standard in 200m backstroke. 1:56,99.

100m Freestyle, women: Annika Bruhn: 53,96 seconds 100m Freestyle men: Damian Wierling: 48,48

These kinds of statistics are pretty interesting, but it's not the full picture either. The number of participants per country is limited. China cannot send one billion people to the Games. Otherwise we would probably see more Chinese divers or gymnasts who could snatch gold. USA can send only team in Basketball, even though USA II might have chances to win gold as well. And so on. Also, one outstanding athlete from a small country, say Marc Girardelli for Luxembourg in skiing, can have some big influence in the adjusted medal table, while the same outstanding athlete for USA doesn't. Sure, the big countries still have better opportunities than San Marino or Micronesia. But it's not as easy as a 1:1 comparison between their number of medals their population.

Braunschweig can swim at the 100m Backstroke, because he swam the (very easy) Olympic Selection time in Berlin. He even fulfilled the FINA and the DSV standard in Würzburg last december, but I don't know if this was a FINA approved qualification meeting. The difference between the Olympic Qualification Time and the Olympic Selection Time is only, that two starters from the same federation can only compete, if both have the OQT while only one starter from a federation with OST can participate. Theoretically speaking, if Braunschweig's time from december counts as FINA A-Standard, both he and Ulrich could compete in Tokyo at 100m backstroke.
