I did really feel heavy discomfort watching that match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,527 Posted November 3, 2019 Author #22 Share Posted November 3, 2019 so, Russia and Poland will fight for today's Gold Medal... meanwhile, in the placing matches, Italy will eventually limit the damage, as they are going to play for the 5th place against the locals from Estonia, which means that both teams now can only earn 2 points over the opponents at the end of the day... therefore, the situation in the Olympic Qualification looks like this: China have 216 points and will stay at the top of the ranking (they're going to sum up 40 or 36 points, depending on the outcome of the Bronze Medal match vs the USA), even if Russia will close the gap... Russia are currently second with 188 points...a win (64 points) would get them very close to the top and considerably widen the margin over Poland, a loss (52 points) in the final against the Poles instead would send them down to 3rd place... Poland currently have 180 points...a win today would move them up to second in front of the Russians, a loss would leave them in 3rd place, but would still increase their margin over the 4th ranked USA... USA are currently 4th with 180 points and will remain 4th at the end of today's competition in any case (they will score 40 or 36 points)... still, those 4 teams are surely going to strenghten their position, as they are all ahead of their main rivals... as, written before, Italy are 5th with 160 points and will remain in that position (they will add 32 or 30 points to their ranking)...they are surely increasing big time their margin over South Korea (starting today's event with 150 pts) and France (starting from 110 pts, but they are both outside the top 8, so no more than 24 points for them) and they will also gain from 2 to 6 points over their direct followers for the European spot, Ukraine (127 points before today's effort which would eventually give them 28 or 26 points), with Estonia also still in the hunt (starting the day at 116, scoring 32 or 30 today)...

Dunadan 1,103 Posted November 3, 2019 #23 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Egypt is already out of the top 16 after today's performance so Ukraine is also in at the moment. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,527 Posted November 3, 2019 Author #24 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) quick update... the placement matches are over, so this is today's final ranking from 5th through 10th place: 5th, Estonia (scoring 32 pts) 6th, Italy (scoring 30 pts) 7th, Germany (scoring 28 pts) 8th, Ukraine (scoring 26 pts) 9th, France (scoring 25 pts) 10th, South Korea (scoring 24 pts) and this is the Olympic Qualification Ranking for the same positions after this weekend: 5th, Italy, 190 pts (currently qualified as top European team) 6th, South Korea, 174 pts (currently qualified as top Asian team) 7th, Ukraine, 153 pts (currently qualified thanks to the reallocation, as no African team is within the top 16 of the OQR) 8th, Estonia, 148 pts 9th, France, 135 pts 10th, Germany, 127 pts finally, today Canada ended up in 16th place (18 pts), meaning that they go down to 13th place in the OQR (tied with Hungary, 114 pts)...however, that's still good enough to be the best Panamerican team outside the top 4 of the ranking and therefore they're still in qualifying position...
