MHSN 3,047 Posted March 13, 2020 #142 Share Posted March 13, 2020 By cancelling the European Championships, WKF will count 2019 results which means the current ranking will remain the same, even though it's really hard to imagine they can have that last K1 event in Madrid but I still consider that as a possibility, this is how ranking looks like and this is the list of 100% qualified athletes. Men's Kata Damian Quintero - 10117.5 Q Ali Sofuoglu - 6892.5 Q Antonio Diaz - 5205 Q Mattia Busato - 4650 Q Men's 60kg Darkhan Assadilov - 10387.5 Q Angelo Crescenzo - 8850 Eray Samdan - 7912.5 Crescenzo is 100% qualified if less than 32 athletes register which is really possible considering the situation, Samdan needs to win the gold, Creszenzo losing the first round and also needs at least 33 athletes in the draw. looks almost impossible Men's 67kg Steven Dacosta - 8940 Q Vinicius Figueira - 6832.5 Ali El-Sawy - 6472.5 Men's 75kg Bahman Askari - 9262.5 Q Luigi Busa - 7740 Q Rafael Aghayev - 7005 Q Stanislav Horuna - 5707.5 Thomas Scott - 5047.5 Men's 84kg Ugur Aktas - 10372.5 Q Zabihollah Poursheib - 9225 Ivan Kvesic - 7087.5 Men's +84kg Sajjad Ganjzadeh - 8617.5 Jonathan Horne - 8062.5 Gogita Arkania - 7080 Horne only has to participate in Madrid to qualify, even not participating most probably won't hurt him. but if Horne makes up for almost 600pts difference with Ganjzadeh that will change so many things. Kevsic and Arkania can't do anything themselves, their fates depend on Horne and Ganjzadeh. Women's Kata Sandra Sanchez - 12322.5 Q Viviana Bottaro - 7275 Q Grace Lau - 6300 Q Sakura Kokumai - 5887.5 Q Women's 50kg Serap Ozcelik - 11302.5 Q Sara Bahmanyar - 5647.5 Bettina Plank - 5197.5 Women's 55kg Anzhelika Terliuga - 9472.5 Q Wen Tzu-Yun - 7080 Q Women's 61kg Yin Xiaoyan - 10545 Q Giana Lotfy - 7710 Q Merva Coban - 7027.5 Q Jovana Prekovic - 5482.5 Haya Jumaa - 5137.5 Rozita Alipour - 5107.5 Gwendoline Philippe - 4890 Leila Heurtault - 4515 Women's 68kg Irina Zaretska - 9247.5 Q Elena Quirici - 6525 Gong Li - 6412.5 Feryal Abdelaziz - 6075 Silvia Semeraro - 5730 Women's +68kg Hamideh Abbasali - 6997.5 Q Meltem Hocaoglu - 5677.5 Eleni Chatziliadou - 5655 Sofya Berultseva - 5467.5 Clio Ferracuti - 5017.5 ----------------- so in short I can say 2 athletes qualified tonight with this decision Wen Tzu-Yun Merva Coban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,047 Posted March 16, 2020 #145 Share Posted March 16, 2020 and this is how continental quotas stand for now Men's Kata: Men's 67kg: Men's 75kg: Men's +75kg: Women's Kata: Women's 55kg: Women's 61kg: Women's +61kg: here is the detailed list, only athletes in bold are qualified right now. others are next in line Oceania - Men Tsuneari Yahiro (75kg) Oceania - Women Alexandra Anacan (Kata) Kristina Mah (61kg) Africa - Men Ali El-Sawy (67kg) Abdalla Abdelaziz (75kg) Ahmed Shawky (Kata) Adnane El-Hakimi (Kata) Africa - Women Feryal Abdelaziz (+61kg) Radwa Sayed (55kg) Btissam Sadini (61kg) Sarah Sayed (Kata) America - Men Thomas Scott (75kg) Brian Irr (+75kg) Andres Madera (67kg) Joaquin Gonzalez (67kg) Daniel Gaysinsky (+75kg) America - Women Alexandra Grande (61kg) Valeria Kumizaki (55kg) Tanya Rodriguez (+61kg) Maria Dmitrova (Kata) Asia - Men Daniyar Yuldashev (+75kg) Yermek Ainazarov (75kg) Dastonbek Otabolaev (75kg) Sadriddin Saymatov (67kg) Asia - Women Gong Li (+61kg) Rozita Alipour (61kg) Sofya Berultseva (+61kg) Li Ranran (55kg) Fatemeh Sadeghi (Kata) Europe - Men Kalvis Kalnins (67kg) Asiman Gurbanli (+75kg) Firdovsi Farzaliyev (67kg) Mario Hodzic (67kg) Europe - Women Silvia Semeraro (+61kg) Bettina Plank (55kg) Anita Serogina (61kg) Laura Palacio (+61kg) Ivet Goranova (55kg) ------------------------------ from the list above only the following athletes are 100% guaranteed a spot even if they fail to qualify directly . for the rest anything is possible. if anybody in that list qualifies directly that changes the order completely. for example if Egypt qualifies at 67kg, the African quota goes to 75kg and that will ruin USA's chance at this weight. Men's 75kg Women's Kata Men's 67kg Women's +61kg another example, if Gong Li qualifies directly, Asian quota goes to Alipour (61kg) , European quota goes to Italy instead of Austria. then the 3rd African quota will go to a male athlete from Morocco in Kata therefore the last American quota will be a female which will be Brazil. that was an example to show one athlete can makes change for 4 more !

Jose Luis 44 Posted March 17, 2020 #147 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I would be remiss if not canceled the world Olympic qualification that gives 3 squares by weight The ranking if you have completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepharoah 2,264 Posted March 17, 2020 #148 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) There're even doubts about having international Olympic tournament in Paris so if it will be cancelled as well they are going to qualify 6 athletes Per each category and it should be with athletes that gained continental quota that's per a member in Egyptian federation Edited March 17, 2020 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted March 17, 2020 #149 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) personally I think if they can't have the last OQT in France (or anywhere else) that means the situation is still very bad in May and I don't think we will have the Olympics in July. and if they postpone the Olympics itself, there will be enough time to have all these qualifiers. but in case they want to count the ranking to qualify 3 more athletes per weight, this will be the list of qualifiers it will be good for Egypt, Turkey and Kazakhstan, interestingly Turkey will have a full 8 member team ! Men's Kata: + Men's 67kg: + Men's 75kg: + Men's +75kg: + Women's Kata: Women's 55kg: + Women's 61kg: + Women's +61kg: + Edited March 17, 2020 by MHSN Laraja, thepharoah and prso1000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted March 18, 2020 #150 Share Posted March 18, 2020 WKF announced the list of Qualified athletes so far https://www.wkf.net/news-center-new/meet-karates-first-qualified-athletes-for-tokyo-2020/1256 while we knew it already, the most interesting part is the Japanese names. all high ranked Japanese athletes in each category are qualified . not sure if it was mandatory by WKF or that was Japan's selection criteria.
