It's "should have" or in short, "should've". In general I agree with you because there doesn't seem to be a problem with Australia (AUS) and Austria (AUT) either. It's a learning thing but at least when you're into sports, you should know which country uses which code. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

There is one, or at least there was one. That's why the "No kangaroos in Austria" slogans exists: https://www.google.de/search?q=no+kangaroos+in+austria&biw=1440&bih=791&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjmspK41N7MAhWKJJoKHWbGDzoQ_AUIBigB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much as expected, one Dutch triathlete in Rio. It's a shame for Caelers though with all her injuries and bad luck. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

So sad for her, she really gave a good race in Yokohama... on the other hand that means the spot will be reallocated to Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk12points 434 Posted May 18, 2016 Author #39 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Updated as of 18th April 2016 Concerning African continental quota places it is likely that South Africa will accept both quota as Mari Rabie and Henri Schoeman would both have qualified via the Olympic qualification rankings, therefore it would seem strange to reject the quota, only to be reallocated the same quota again!

Well, you never know. They did pretty much the same thing with their field hockey teams in 2012. Both teams qualified through Africans, both quotas were declined and then both qualified on final QTs. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
