JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted July 6, 2016 Author #102 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Update (Add) Palau* Palau declined its quota won in judo so they are back on. If you include tripartite quotas we are now down to 13 nations which have yet to qualify anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitinsanker 179 Posted July 8, 2016 #103 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) I really feel South Asia is the black hole of olympic sports .......look at the statistics they are shocking Pakistan - 200 million population - 1 official quota + 2 tripartite Bangladesh - 168 million - None as of now + 2 tripartite Burma - 56 million - 1 official quota + 0 tripartite Afghanistan - 32 million - No official quota + 1 tripartite Nepal - 31 million - No official quota + 3 tripartite Bhutan ( smallest ) - 0.7 million - No official + 1 tripartite Srilanka ( most respectable ) - 21 million - 4 official + 5 tripartite If I leave out Srilanka and India out of it ................here you have a region of close to 470 million population and 2 official quotas - 1 shooter and 1 judoka ( to put in perspective the entire population of south america is just 370 million or so Really this is the pits ....I think by comparison of course we at India are doing reasonably well ....105 quotas ( 2 can be considered unearned in part - swimming ) hoping to close at 115-120 ..............

There are a few reasons for this, but a major reason is the current line-up of sports isn’t appealing to that region. Throw in sports like cricket or kabaddi and the number of athletes from that region will increase quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
