MHSN 3,221 Posted April 30, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Vinicius Figueira just lost to Italy ! that can be very very costly for him Laraja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,221 Posted April 30, 2021 #23 Share Posted April 30, 2021 El Sawy is in the semifinal now. by my calculation if that Italy guy who beat Figueira makes it to the final. Figueira will have a chance in the repechage, but if Italy doesn't Egypt is already qualified. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,221 Posted April 30, 2021 #24 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Italy lost by Hantei to Jordan so that's it Ali El-Sawy is 100% qualified for Tokyo, no matter what happens in the rest of the competition. even if he finishes 5th. Figueira has to prepare himself for the last chance qualifier in France, same as our guys in this weight Laraja and thepharoah 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepharoah 2,287 Posted April 30, 2021 #25 Share Posted April 30, 2021 ALI EL SAWY QUALIFIES that's really awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,221 Posted April 30, 2021 #26 Share Posted April 30, 2021 btw technically it's not over yet, El Sawy still can punch the ref to the face and get disqualified (and receive 0 points) but I assume that's not a possibility I think El Sawy was guaranteed a place even if he wouldn't make it here, he was the best ranked African male athlete. but with this, he opened the door for another male Egyptian Karateka to qualify in another weight. but in the continent of America, they have another way to determine their continental places, only Pan American Games gold medal winners has a chance and unfortunately for Figueira he didn't win the gold in Peru back in 2019.

Exactly. Now only the event in Paris for him. I cant believe that we have more chance now with Kumizaki than with Figueira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah her possibility is the last quota. I remember to do this calculation a long time ago haha But she is in a good situation to take it at least. She won the Panamerican Games, which Vinicius didn't. I am very disappointe with this result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gucardn 54 Posted April 30, 2021 #30 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Worst of all was the confusion created by the WKF! They confirmed the quota for Vinicius last year, including informing the Brazilian Olympic Committee. Weeks later they went back because they decided to make a new tournament to close the ranking! Total disorganization! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
