The Portuguese Olympic Committee (COP) confirmed today the qualification of a men's madison pair, from which the representative in the omnium will come, an event in which Iúri Leitão is world champion, in addition to the 'repeat' women's omnium, in which Maria Martins was seventh in Tokyo2020. With the qualification of the three cyclists for the track, Portugal now has 43 athletes in 11 modalities with a place in Paris2024, already withdrawing the name of the Greek sailor Vasileia Karachaliou, who had secured a quota for Portugal in ILCA 6, through a special license from World Sailing, but failed to meet the deadlines to guarantee Portuguese nationality. In cycling, Portugal now has six quotas, joining the three on the track to the three already secured places on the road -- for Nelson Oliveira's sixth place in the time trial of the last World Championships and for the ranking, Portugal will have two elements in this specialty and the same two in the men's road race, and also a cyclist in the women's road race, something that had not happened since Atlanta1996. This modality is now the second with the most places secured in Paris2024 after athletics, 'unreachable' with nine quotas - the places will only be officially confirmed after June 30, when the adjustment between ranking places and brands is carried out. The reigning Olympic triple jump champion Pedro Pichardo was the last to guarantee the minimum for Paris2024, by surpassing the qualifying mark at the Xiamen meeting in China. In his first competition in almost a year, Pichardo started the Diamond League competition with a jump of 17.38 meters, guaranteeing the minimum right away, and in the last jump, he improved even more, managing 17.51. In athletics, Pichardo joined the Portuguese team with Pedro Buaró (pole vault), Samuel Barata and Susana Godinho (marathon), Isaac Nader (1,500 meters), João Coelho (400 meters), Auriol Dongmo (shot put), Ana Cabecinha (20 kilometers walk) and Irina Rodrigues (discus). Swimming follows in the ranking of modalities with the most places guaranteed in the next Games, which will take place between July 26 and August 11, with five qualified: Diogo Ribeiro, who has already achieved minimums in the 50 and 100 meters freestyle and also in the 100 meters butterfly, an event in which he is world champion, João Costa (100 meters backstroke), Camila Rebelo (200 meters backstroke), Miguel Nascimento (50 meters freestyle) and Angélica André (open water). In equestrian, dressage secured a collective quota, so, in addition to the presence in the obstacle course (place secured for the country by Duarte Seabra), Portugal will take three other riders to Paris2024, who will participate both in the team competition and in the individual event. Four are also the quotas guaranteed in the triathlon, since the mixed relay qualified, with two women and two men, who will participate in the individual events. In canoeing, Teresa Portela secured a place in K1 500 meters, Fernando Pimenta in K1 1,000 meters, an event in which he won the bronze medal in Tokyo2020, and João Ribeiro and Messias Baptista in K2 500. The four were selected. Sailing currently has two quotas and three representatives: Diogo Costa and Carolina João in 470, Eduardo Marques in ILCA 7. Table tennis will have the men's team, composed of three players - in a quota won by Marcos Freitas, Tiago Apolónia, João Geraldo and Diogo Carvalho at the World Team Championships -, from which two will still be selected for the individual tournament. Surfers Teresa Bonvalot and Yolanda Hopkins, fifth in Tokyo2020, gymnasts Filipa Martins, in the all-around competition, and Gabriel Albuquerque, in trampolines, and shooter Maria Inês Barros, in hunting weapons shooting (trap), complete the Portuguese team.
