Olympic qualification, after Millfield World Cup

Pechino 2008After the third 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) 160pt, Benedetti (Ita)153pt, Capalini (Cze)147pt, Meliakh (Blr)135pt, Majewski (Pol) 131pt, Lopez (Esp) 130pt, Prokopenko (Blr) 125 and Bowsher (Usa) 124pt.

The resting 4 cards are probably for the following athletes:
-Weale (Gbr) 120pt, Brandt (Swe) 110pt (76 with 2 comp), Woodbridge (Gbr) 109pt (78 with 2 comp), Soto 107pt (78 with 2 comp) or Garcia 104pt (79 with 2 comp) from Mexico.
Who have possibility to derange the last 4 athletes up called are:
-Cherkovskis (Lat) with 79pt (two comp)
-one of these Italian: Simonetti and Pecci with 73pt (two comp), Valentini 38pt, De Luca 34pt and Giancamilli 31pt.;
-Santos (Bra), Hantov (Bul) and Hefny (Egy) with 40pt;
-Papadopolo (Gua) 39pt;
-Sika (Lat) and Romao (Bra) with 38pt.
-Guitian (Pan) 37pt.
-Tisi (Chi) with 36pt.;
-one of these Ukrainian: Tymoshenko 35pt, Borkin 33pt and Kukshin 30pt.
-Maynard (Can) 35pt;
-Abreu (Dom) 34pt;
-Daniel (Aut) and Tebenkov (Kaz) with 32pt
-Floros (Gre) and Johansson (Swe) with 31pt.
-Astier (Fra) with 30pt
-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:
-9 are already sure:
Samusevich 152pt and Arkhipenka 154pt for Belarus, Rublevska (Lat) with 152, Boenisz (Pol) 145pt (or Dziadura (POl) 139pt), Taormina (Usa) 136pt, Tereshuk (Ukr) 134pt, Mouratova (Rus) 131pt, Grant (Can) 128pt and Mathe (Hun) 122pt.  Grolichova (Cze) with 113pt.
-For the last 4 cards are now in pole position the following athletes:
Sanchez (Mex) 115pt, Grolichova (Cze) with 113pt, Rimsaite (Ltu) 111pt and Fakhry (Egy) 106pt.
-Can again try to get them:
Lellys (Bra) with 71pt (two comp) and Trautman (Ger) with 67pt (two comp).
