You can sub one in, but you can't go over the quota. 

 

 

Exactly - I think Italy took advantage of the rule in Tokyo with Ganna competing in both time trial and team pursuit. Obviously it only really works if you have qualified track athletes in one of the endurance events - can't see many track sprinters fancying the prospect of 158km road race though. 

 

It wouldn't surprise me if GB did something similar in Paris - whilst I think Tarling is a cert for the time trial, I could see him being subbed out of the road race in favour of one of the team pursuiters (although selectors might not want to jeopardise potential track medals)

So I'm pretty sure Wikipedia is completely incorrect. Here's my interpretation of the quotas.   Please let me know if there's any mistakes   Men:   World Rankings (4 quot

This can be used tactically. In Tokyo, one of our road quotas was used to take an extra man for the team sprint and one of our two Madison riders took part in the road race. He did not finish the race IIRC.

Yeah - isn't there a rule that if you are entered into an event you have to start that event in order to be allowed to start in another event? I seem to recall there used to be a lot of track athletes who were down to double up and would line up for their first event but then pull up after the first couple of laps.

Brazil announced today that they have a men's road race quota, unexpectedly. Is that because of reallocation and is that next to the Pan American championships ticket?

 

99% sure Nicolas Sessler will get it for Brazil. Which is definitely cool for him (old mountainbike teammate of Bruna, so that's cool too), but kind of shows the flaw of the whole ranking stuff perfectly, since Vinicius Rangel is the only Brazilian actually riding at the top level.....but that leaves him with fewer points, because it's harder to get good results in World Tour races than in .1 races :p

Yeah, the men's quota for Brazil is trhough reallocation from Panamerican Championship.

Yep, French sprinter in London I think took this route

 

in this scenario, GBR actually have plausible options in Ethan Haytor, Tarling and Zoe Backstedt who could double on road and track, allowing space possibly for a sprint 'substitute' in men's and women's track sprint

I can absolutely see a scenario where Tarling and Ethan Hayter both double up - Tarling in TT, Hayter in RR - that said, I forsee a very busy track schedule for Hayter possibly (Madson and Omnium).

 

Theoretically you could have Zoe Backstedt as at least back up in the team pursuit

      Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.

      Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.

      Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.

      I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same

      In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
