Olympic qualification after Kladno World Cup

Pechino 2008After the last World cup event of the 2008 we can show you the following situations:
Men’s qualification
There are still 2 wild cards and we can suppose 14 (11 + 3) cards in the olympic ranking.
According to our study we are sure the necessary ranking points for taking olympic pass will be not more of 127.
It will probably be 123 or less.
So it’s difficult that less than 30 points in one competition or less than 72 in two competitions could be useful.
Looking at the actual olympic ranking  with more than 30 points (one comp.) or 72 (for two comp.) we can find the following situation:

10 cards of 14 are already sure:
-Walther 175 points and Gebhard 177pt for Germany, Berrou (Fra) 186pt, Benedetti (Ita)153pt, Capalini (Cze)147pt (or Michalik 146 (Cze)), Cherkovskis (Lat) 136pt, Meliakh (Blr)135pt, Majewski (Pol) 131pt, Lopez (Esp) 130pt and Tymoshchenko (Ukr) 130pt.  

For the resting 4 cards are in pole position the following athletes:
- Prokopenko (Blr) and Weale (Gbr) 125, Bowsher (Usa) 124pt, Zakrewski (Fra) 117pt (86 with two comp), Woodbridge (Gbr) 117pt (79 with 2 comp), Soto (Mex) 115pt (78 with 2 comp), Brandt (Swe) 110pt (76 with 2 comp), Romao (Bra) 78pt (two comp) and Santos (Bra) 76pt (two comp).
Who have possibility to fight again for the last cards are:
-Garcia (Mex) with 73pt (two competitions)
-one of these Italian: Simonetti and Pecci with 73pt (two comp), Valentini 66pt (two comp).
-Tebenkov (Kaz) with 72pt (two comp);
-Sika (Lat) with 69pt (two comp);
-maybe also somebody else, without useful points.

Women’s qualification
In the olympic ranking we can suppose 13 (10 +3) cards.
We think that in the women qualification 115 points will be enough for taking the pass for Bejing.
Let's see the 13 hypothetical cards:
-12 are already sure:
Samusevich 168pt and Arkhipenka 154pt for Belarus, Rublevska (Lat) with 152, Dziadura (Pol) 151pt (or Boenisz 145pt) for Poland , Grant (Can) and Grolichova (Cze) with 138pt, Taormina (Usa) 136pt, Tereshuk (Ukr) 134pt, Mouratova (Rus) 131pt, Mathe (Hun) and Rimsaite (Ltu) with 125pt and Sanchez (Mex) 121pt.
-For the last card are now in pole position the following athlete:
Fakhry (Egy) with 99pt (66pt with two comp).

Lellys (Bra) with 73pt (two comp) and Trautman (Ger) with 67pt (two comp).
