Preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games rugby sevens competition took another step forward with the confirmation of the pools for the World Rugby Sevens Repechage.
Monaco will host the final Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualification event on 19-20 June.
In the women’s competition, the 12 teams involved in the draw have been allocated into three pools of four teams. The top two teams in each pool, plus the two third-placed teams with the highest point totals will qualify for the knockout stages of the competition. With two qualification places yet to grab, both winners in the final two games will claim their ticket to Tokyo.
For the men’s competition, the ten teams in contention for the final Olympic qualification place have been drawn into two pools of five teams. Teams will play against all four opponents in their pools with the top two teams from each pool progressing through two knockout stages, culminating in a winner being decided in the final.
The men’s draw saw HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series core teams Samoa and Ireland paired in Pool A together with Tonga, Zimbabwe and Mexico. France were the top seeded team based on their performances in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series where they finished sixth in 2020 and they are drawn in Pool B along with Hong Kong, Chile, Uganda and Jamaica.
The Olympic men’s rugby sevens competition will take place from 26-28 July, with the women’s tournament following on the 29-31 July. All the action will take place at Tokyo Stadium, which was a venue for Rugby World Cup 2019.
Congratulations to Hong Kong sculler Winne Hung Wing Yan who qualified for Tokyo2020 in the Women’s Single Sculls at the recent Asia and Oceania Olympic Qualification Regatta held in Tokyo.
The qualification event brought together 50 crews from 18 countries, racing in four events in challenging conditions. Bad weather saw racing canceled on the first day and all the events were compressed into two days. Racing a semi-final and final just hours apart, Hung snatched the final qualifying place.
“Racing as a lightweight rower in the open-class singles is not easy” Head Coach, Chris Perry commented, “Winne had a tough race to win the B Final and we are delighted that she has achieved a place for Tokyo.”
