US roster for the World Cup
Canada will be one of the 24 teams that will fight for the last four seats to play the Games. This is how the applicants to be in the appointment of the five rings are distributed:
Who are classified?
The eight teams already qualified for the Olympics, seven for their World Cup performance and Japan as host, will be joined by four more, making up a 12-team tournament. These four teams will leave one from each of the Pre-Olympic venues, specifically the winner of them.
This is how the pre-Olympic venues were established
The anthological triumph of Spain at the World Cup in Spain, which seems like it was a long time ago but that just this November 15 is two months old, it prevented us from going through a bad drink. The second World championship achieved assured us the classification for the Tokyo Olympics next summer. And many coconuts will have to go through the toothache of playing the Olympic Qualification to qualify.
A few months ago we already told you what the Pre-olympic (in total there are four), in which only the winners will compete in the Olympic event. United States, Argentina, Spain, France, Nigeria, Iran and Australia They are already classified for an appointment that, in addition to dates (next June), already knows the place where they will be held.
The Lithuanian city of Kaunas, that I had requested to be a host, has won the big one and together with these three countries it will host the event in which it will try to qualify for the great sporting event that is held every four years.
Therefore, Serbia, Lithuania and Croatia are the countries in which you will hold an event in which they are also Germany, Angola, Brazil, Canada, China, South Korea, Slovenia, Greece, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Puerto Rico, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Russia, Senegal, Tunisia, Turkey, Uruguay and Venezuela They will play this tournament, with six teams distributed among the four venues. And only the winner will get one of the four remaining places for Japan.
In total, 24 countries and that is why the last World Cup was so important in positions 17 to 32. As a curiosity, the third European team in the ranking (the Latvia from Kristaps Porzingis) may not dispute it. However, the Doncic’s Slovenia, current European champion, if that will be. Another thing is that the stars NBA, some of them possibly still in competition, dispute it.
In addition, the cities that will be the organizers of the Women’s Pre-Olympic Games have also been announced. Remember, in these if Spain plays it and there is a curiosity with the United States and Japan playing the tournament even though they are already classified. Belgium (Ostend), China (Foshan, waiting for Asian women to qualify in the windows held these days), France (Bourges) and Serbia (Belgrade). In one of these four places we will fight to get on the podium, match or even improve the silver won in Rio 2016.
