Impossible as the 7s tournament starts just before the opening ceremony and goes on after. 2. Impossible as we're not rotten enough (yet) to offer the flag to a "non-olympian" (same applies for Mbappé or Wembanyama ) Surely it has to be Teddy Riner??

SalamAkhi 277 Posted November 21, 2023 #23 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Qualified : Final repêchage tournament : Unlike the women's qualifications several World Series teams are not in yet, and two at least will be left out. A bit karmic to see the three relegated from last season (Japan, Kenya and Uruguay) get a spot when their executioners (Canada and Spain) don't.

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted November 21, 2023 #24 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Quite the group for the final qualifier. Loving the depth in rugby sevens. As much as I would like to see another upset it is hard to see or not winning the final spot. Josh and rafalgorka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Great Britain is the heavy favorite right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaBUru38 204 Posted December 26, 2023 #28 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) For years, South Africa refused Olympic sports for teams qualified on continental or repechage sports. If they win the men's repechage, they will sure revert that policy. Edited December 26, 2023 by NaBUru38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 277 Posted January 15 #29 Share Posted January 15 First Challenger last week in Dubaï. Less interesting than the women's competition regarding the Olympic qualification tournament, as the huge favorites will be South Africa or GB, but some notes worth keeping. Apart from Mexico there is not much difference between all the teams, despite Kenya taking it in the end. Chile seems to have stepped up a bit, Germany still strong but still unable to wrap things up, as is HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
