OlympicIRL 4,770 Posted June 10, 2021 Author #93 Share Posted June 10, 2021 That's very unfortunate for Arthur, he's been a great servant to Irish modern pentathlon in recent years and always passionately driven to be the best he can. Hope to see him back fit again for Paris 2024! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,770 Posted June 10, 2021 Author #94 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Sive Brassil made the final at the World Championships, so to make the Olympic team she needs to either earn a direct quota by finishing among the 3 highest athletes not yet qualified or to finish as high as possible in order to overtake those above her in the rankings. There are quite a few non-qualified athletes in the final so finishing in the top 3 will be a stiff challenge. But the dream is alive and she is very capable of a big result, here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,770 Posted June 13, 2021 Author #95 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Heartbreaking final Olympic qualification day for Russel White in the men's triathlon.... looks like he has been pipped for the final Olympic qualification spot by Stefan Zachäus from Luxembourg. Not sure of his prospects to receive a re-allocated quota as the official document states it will be reallocated to a NOC from the same continent that does not yet have a qualifier. But there is some hope I guess, but very sad for him to lose out on the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if they will be allocated, but if they aren’t then that quota will go to the next highest in the Olympic ranking which I think would be Russell White. I’m not certain though, will wait and see how the simulation in the world triathlon website updates the list after today’s results to see if Russell is indeed first in line for that reallocation if it did happen.
