Even if Japan has qualified in other weights, they still get one extra host nation quota? In gymnastics, it doesn't work like this. For example, each nation is able to qualify up to two rhythmic gymnastics. Japan qualified one gymnast through the world championships, and if they want to have another gymnast, they have to try and qualify through the world cup series. The host nation quota was then reallocated to the next eligible gymnast through the world championships. What a crazy system in weightlifting. Japan has 3 quotas guaranteed in each gender. if they wanted more they had to qualify 4 through the ranking. that's what they will do in the men's section. I think even if they qualify 3 that's like doing nothing, they will remove all Japanese weightlifters from the list and then they can pick 3 as "host" thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,047 Posted May 13, 2021 #293 Share Posted May 13, 2021 oh well . that was a very sad end for Moradi's Olympic hopes. he lifted 170kg, got 3 white lights, but Jury rejected it. he came back and lifted that again but injured his hand while he was going to drop the weight can't remember the last time I was this sad about a sport event. he went through 2 surgeries, tried hard for a year for this. got injured again in training. still came here to make the cut, again injured. this is probably the end of the road for him thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted May 13, 2021 #294 Share Posted May 13, 2021 well we have two Olympic Champions in 96kg but none of them will qualify. instead some random guy from Iran is in top 8 without even trying to be there ! isn't that great ?! well I'm going to finish what I started . these guys are 100% safe El-Bakh Pliesnoi Santavy Vallenilla Opeloge (Oceania) most probably to participate Yu or Jang Yamamoto Saez Tian Tao is 1st the ranking but he is unlikely to go to Tokyo, BLR also has 2 guys in top 8 but still not clear if they use their lone quota in this weight. both KOR and JPN can send someone in this weight but still not a sure thing if they do. ironically Ali Miri (IRN) is also in top 8 but he isn't even "ready" at the moment. Iran will have to pick between him and Hashemi (109kg) both of them are out of shape. one of them is going to participate just for fun. Rasulbekov (KGZ) is alive for the Asian quota if both JPN and KOR finish in top 8 (and Iran doesn't pick this weight) Adamus of Poland can change everything if he gets good results in world juniors and grab the European quota. the ranking website is down once again, so I have no idea about the African weightlifters.

By the way what happens to host quota if Japan already qualifies in top 8? Also how does tripartite commission quota is selected, are there any criteria?

I don't know about the wild cards, they made a long list of "weaker" countries and the tripartite quotas will go to them. if they can't find 3 eligible weightlifters for each gender the above about the host quotas will happen again. this is the list of eligible NOCs https://www.iwf.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2019/08/Annex-2-List-of-eligible-NOCs-Invitation-Places-Tokyo-2020.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,047 Posted May 14, 2021 #298 Share Posted May 14, 2021 109kg the following guys are 100% safe Djuraev Chumak Michalski Plesnieks (at least Europe) Kitts (Pan America) Lydement (Oceania) Bacha (Africa) almost safe Naniev or Bochkov I believe Russia will use its lone quota here. but I have absolutely no idea about Armenia and Belarus. Martirosyan and Aramnau are safe in the ranking but their NOCs are limited to 1. Martirosyan is the current WR holder but bombing out at the Europeans and that car accident changes his status. he is still favorite to go. Hristov will participate at the Junior Worlds, to improve his points. even though I believe he is already safe (since China is not going to pick Yang Zhe) If Hristov finishes in top 8, then Ruiz will qualify too Hashemi is currently in top 8, after what happened in 96kg he is likely to go to Tokyo but still nothing is clear. currently has 2 weightlifters for the Asian quota but if they move up 1 or 2 positions they will be in top 8 making Mochida the Asian qualifier. if I was Japan I would pick Mochida over 96kg guy but he is not eligible yet. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted May 14, 2021 #299 Share Posted May 14, 2021 and the last one +109kg 100% safe Talakhadze Davoudi Reis Assad Toychyyev Bidani Wilkes (Pan America) Liti (Oceania) this weight is hard to predict because we have two 109kg weightlifters who can qualify here ! Ruiz and Martirosjan. Ruiz has a good chance to qualify in his own weight but Martirosjan (who participated today but withdrew from CJ) can play dirty and qualifies somewhere else and grabs someone else's rightful place. we also have uncertainties about ARM and BLR . they both have 1 quota and have guys in other weights. Orsag will qualify if only one of those NOCs above doesn't pick this weight. KOR and JPN are next in line but I believe they are not going to pick this weight. Nagy also has to wait for others and their selections. if both JPN and KOR finish in top 8 or decline the quota (very likely) TPE is next in line for the Asian spot. nobody is eligible for the African quota. that one will be reallocated. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
