After winning Brasil, Marino Vanhoenacker has an automatic qualifier slot, but it is unclear if he is going to accept it. Ivan Rana (4.560 points) is also safe for Kona if he wants to. Then there is Michael Weiss (3.427 points) who needs a few more points for a slot.

Behind these, there are Miguel Fidalgo (1.998 points) and David Plese (1.325 points) are the athletes with the most KPR points, but they are probably too far back to be able to secure a slot in Austria.

There are a lot of female athletes looking for their remaining KPR points in order to qualify in July (estimated cutoff at 5.100 points): Corinne Abraham (4.725), Eva Wutti (4.170), Lisa Huetthaler (3.595) and Sarah Piampiano (3.435 but already 5 races) already have a decent number of points.

Behind these four, the athlete with the most points is Michi Herlbauer, but with 1.600 points she is still far back from the estimated cutoff.
