Remember, only the winner gets Olympic qualification from these tournaments.
Everyone else will have a second chance in January at the Continental tournament.

Well, I don't know if anyone else has been watching or not. Team USA just beat Argentina. They have now qualified to go to Tokyo! Congratulations, Team USA!!!

5 of the 6 hosts won this weekend
(USA, China, Brazil, Russia, Italy), while top ranked Serbia won in Poland.

That leaves only 1 berth left for each of the five continental regions.
