The thing is, counting football players in the athlete quota doesn't even really make any sense. They don't stay in the village, and they bring in more revenue than they cost.
Like I get why people dislike the men's football tournament, but it would be an absolutely braindead move to remove it.
Wouldn't 8 be better then, if 16 is too much (which, especially for the men, it is)? Then you can at least have a decent format, for which you need 4, 8, 16 or 32 teams (well, or 64 or 128 ).
My prediction for the women's quota distribution if this change passes:
1 host (USA)
1 concacaf
2 conmebol
1 concacaf/conmebol play-off
3 CAF
3 AFC
1 OFC
4 UEFA
This is true. In you get bigger turnouts for winter sport events if you hold them in a village - because everyone turns up - than you would if you held them in a huge city.
Which ones? I added the biathlon pursuit day for Bruna and myself, the one I was still hoping for (category B, 2x200 for category A was a bit too much )
Some others would be nice too, but with her (hopefully) competition schedule, it would be unwise to go for something like the day between two competitions, sadly
IIRC this is how early Korea always does Olympic selections for short track. It's actually a small part of why Ahn Hyun-soo / Viktor An went from to , he didn't have a chance to qualify for the 2010 Olympics because of an injury he suffered in 2008.
