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 :)

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.

What about the two tripartite spots?

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.

QUALIFICATION UPDATE

 

 

Updated after the stunning qualification of the Men's Rugby Sevens team :bowdown:

 

It's so exciting to have an Irish rugby team at the Olympics and wonderful to think we will have participation in 2 team sports now.

It's also a welcome boost to the team numbers and we are up to 94 athlete quotas now, 17 sports and 50 events, with more to come.
