There are now just 2 Challenge events and 4 E16 events left to play on the Calendar for Paris qualification. After Xiamen my commentary will move from Top10 to Top12 finishes.
I have stopped keeping track of positions 1-12, who I feel have safely secured their berths, and focus going forward only on positions 13-25.

Biggest Losers in Guadalajara
CAN2, GER2, SUI2 (now SUI3), AUT and CZE.
CAN2, GER2, SUI2 (now SUI3), AUT and CZE.
- CAN2 finished poorly, and slipped from spot 18 to spot 19. They also allowed ESP2, THA and CAN3 to gain ground on them.
- GER2 are losers for having skipped this event and allowing GER3 to gain significant ground on them in the race for GER2.
- SUI2 is now SUI3. Zoe has passed Anouk, due to SUI2's poor finish. TBH Anouk seemed fine but Joana played the worst I've ever seen her play. more below.
- AUT finished only 17th, so those points did not replace their current low counting score.
- CZE likewise were unable to improve their low score by finishing 19th, and allowed ESP2 to pass them.
Biggest Winners in Guadalajara
SUI3 (now SUI2), ESP1, LTU, FIN, GER3, CAN3
- SUI3 (now SUI2) , Esmee/Zoe, played almost error free during their last two matches in Guadalajara. Composed, Mature. Good decision making. I have never this team play like this before. What a time to gain momentum and improve consistency. They have put 220 points between them and SUI2 (now SUI3).
-ESP1, LTU and FIN all finished well and improved their Qualification Point totals, each putting more distance between themselves and teams ranked currently 19-24. FIN actually surpassed CAN2 to take the 18th spot.
-GER3: While still a long shot, GER3 has closed the gap to GER2 to 480 points. For them to pass GER2, they would need to finish with 600 point or better finishes in all of their remaining events, while GER2 essentially falls apart down the stretch. Still, anything is possible.
-CAN3: A podium finish to close to within 360 points of passing CAN2 and also getting into the current Top 18. However, their best bet for Paris isn't Top 18. There will be a NORCECA Olympic Qualifying tournament middle of June. This is only important if Pavan/McBain fail to gain Top 18 as CAN2. If Pavan/McBain don't finish Top 18, and neither do Sophie/Heather, per another poster, the Canadian Federation has said that the team sent to the NORCECA Olympic Qualifier would be the team with the highest 4 points finishes in 2024. Sophie/Heather are far ahead on that criterion. Sophie/Heather would be about 85% chance to beat MEX and PUR teams in that event.
