Also very unfair for athletes who are injured for 1-2 years prior to the olympics and therefore cant gain a good ranking. I never thought that i would say this, but IAAF should take FINA as an example. They can still qualify by reaching the entry standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 896 Posted July 31, 2018 #492 Share Posted July 31, 2018 il y a 16 minutes, JoshMartini007 a déclaré: That's only for one out of the eight quotas. Still a dumb rule, 8 teams is too small for to try and pull for universality (or even continental quotas). There is no host country quota here. That makes it okish for me.

ATHENS 1896 15 Posted July 31, 2018 #494 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The main criteria for qualifying (directly or indirectly via Tournaments) on 3 X 3 is the sum of ranking points of top 100 nationals. This is a depth / volume criteria rather than a top quality one; which contradicts with the TOP Athletes concept for the Summer Games. I am surprised that IOC approved - this would be more suitable for the concept of the Youth Games. NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 31, 2018 #495 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) ^ As an example of this, Andorra is 3rd in the women's ranking...in the last 4 years their record in World/Europe Cups is 3 wins and 25 losses.

It would have made more sense to construct a rankings with say your best 4 players. 100 is a bit ridiculous. It reminds me of weightlifting where they reward average nations rather than top athletes.

dcro 10,182 Posted July 31, 2018 #498 Share Posted July 31, 2018 FIBA got this on a fake excuse of bringing new nations. So yeah, I'm all for Andorra and Mongolia trolling their way in. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they can no longer enter 1+1 athletes per default, but rather only 1 athlete. Thank God, Olympics will surely be saved with such measures! Goodbye development of women's athletics in such countries. IOC's "gender equality" is such a scam. I read the rule as saying that a nation is allowed one entry per gender. Especially due to point b.
