We can still qualify a team in Men's Rugby but that's unlikely given the pool composition of the qualifying tournament. Wow, I'm shocked by your volley pairs, never heard of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither (to be fair, I've heard of Carol Horta before, as she won a bronze in Toronto with another partner). We have 5 pairs in each gender competing for the 2 Olympic spots, 4 of which are competing at World Championships. So of course the tour is much more important than Pan Ams, which don't give points for Tokyo qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol you would think, where over 400+ athletes extra entered in 2015, they would increase the quota to somewhere there, but no they came up with a hastily put system. It was bound to happen. And we actually lost 7 athletes initially, but our committee somehow managed to "save" 2 athletes in the process. Pity for the other 5, even though they didn't have any realistic chance of winning a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
