Surprised they didn’t add an extra swimming mixed relay as well. 
 

How they going to fit in the Mixed 4x100 in athletics without it clashing with the non mixed or 100/200 where most will be competing.

15 is generous for Cricket  they could have only given them 13 and said one cover batsman and one cover Bowler.

Honnestly this is not as bad as I feared? The additional sports being outside of the 10500 athlete quota is a *huge* relief.

I hated the decrease in Men's Football! they should just increase women's competition

Tennis becomes a Mixed Event rather than Mixed Doubles it seems. (Table Tennis is still Mixed Doubles). I

Swimming has 100 more quotas for Women than Men solely because of the large teams Synchronised.
 

The mixed team in Gymnastics will be wild.

Based on the press conference it sure looks like the men's and women's eights are on the chopping block for 2032 / that a mixed eights might replace it.

 

Also the IOC seems to think the mixed 4x400m in athletics is a huge success. Bleh.
