phelps 6,862 Posted February 28, 2020 #51 Share Posted February 28, 2020 today has been one of the most successful days for Italy in the last 10 years or so... Crescenzo, Maresca, cardin and the men's team Kata all reaching the gold medal match... plus the youngster Brunori losing only to Cardin in the semifinal of the women's -55kg (therefore reaching the bronze medal match) and Busà leading 2-0 over Asiabari in the last repechage match (30 secs to go), which means he would also reach the bronze medal match if he wins...

MHSN 3,221 Posted February 29, 2020 #54 Share Posted February 29, 2020 2nd day review Men's Kata we knew about , now Mattia Busato is also qualified which means the end of qualification in this event. Men's 84kg Ugur Aktas guaranteed an Olympic spot today, Ivan Kvesic also made sure he will be 3rd in the final ranking. he can't go up or down, it's not in his hands anymore. ironically it's better for him to lose the final to Aktas ! he needs some help from Aktas and also another Iranian Ganjzadeh at +84kg Men's +84kg 3 athletes left for 2 quotas, Ganjzadeh, Horne and Arkania. none of them made it to the final and only Arkania will be in bronze medal match. Ganjzadeh will have something like 1500pts advantage over both Horne and Arkania which means he will have a good chance to finish 1st, still that won't be enough if Poursheib tops 84kg. Arkania is also closing the gap with Horne, in case Ganjzadeh qualifies, Arkania needs to beat Horne to qualify himself. complicated situation for all 5 athletes involved ! Women's 61kg it was a big day for Coban and Jumaa the both made it to the final, Merve Coban is very close to qualify now. Haya Jumaa also moved up the ranking, if she wins the gold she will be next to Prekovic. but since there will be 1 more event for the Europeans, Coban and Prekovic are still big favorites for the quotas to join and . there is still slim chance for Alipour and two French girls. Women's 68kg we knew is already qualified, Gong Li and Feryal made it to the final only 100 pts separate these 2 girls, so whoever wins the gold tomorrow will be in 2nd place . that final can act like a direct Olympic qualification at the end of the day. there is still chance for Quirici (and also very slim chance for Semeraro) Women's +68kg It was a great day for Hamided Abbasali, she is not mathematically qualified yet but I can say it's 95% safe for her, she will qualify if she wins the gold tomorrow. but after her there is a close battle between Berultseva, Ferracuti, Hocaoglu and Chatziliadou. right now Berultseva is leading and she can add more points if she wins the bronze tomorrow but all other girls are European and have one more chance. Ferracuti is in the final and winning the gold will be very important for her. but still less than 400pts separate those 4 girls. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,862 Posted February 29, 2020 #55 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Semeraro is throwing her chances away...hopefully Abbasali tomorrow can stop Ferracuti, otherwise she could even start a comeback that put Semeraro out of contention without she can do anything about it... and frankly I think Semeraro is the only one of the 2 with a true chance to get a medal in Tokyo...

Andry84 76 Posted March 1, 2020 #58 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Incredible loss for Crescenzo at 0.2 seconds from the end, I hope for him this won't cost the qualification. Still 2 tournament to the end, 240 points thrown away, even if I am not sure the European Championships will be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
