Is there an error in Wikipedia Olympics Ireland 2024? Under Athletics it says 9 men but I count 8 listed.

 

Should be 8, they must be counting Jack Raftery in the quota, but he is officially an Ap alternate athlete and not to be counted in the overall quota of athletes for official purposes at least.

 

 

Men's 800m			Mark English
Men's 1500m			Andrew Coscoran
Men's 1500m			Cathal Doyle
Men's 1500m			Luke McCann
Men's 5000m			Brian Fay
Men's Shot Put			Eric Favors
Mixed 4x400m Relay			Chris O'Donnell
Mixed 4x400m Relay			Thomas Barr

World Aquatics still not making any attempt to list the OCT and universality qualifiers. Two weeks out!

Raftery is included in Wiki but not Favors, and still they say 9. Very confusing.

Favors is listed in Wiki, scroll down to field events.

It looks like there are 3 traveling reserves in total (Jack Raftery and 2 women, would imagine it is McGrory and McCann).

 

 

Edit: Nevermind, I guess they are entering 2 of Cadden, McGrory and McCann as our 2 Mixed relay quota athetes and one will be traveling reserve. Still confused though why they listed all 7 women as part of the women's 4x400m relay as only 5 can be listed and 3 of those must be our individual athletes. So would guess the 5 women would be Adeleke, Mawdsley, Becker, Healy and Cadden. I see many nations doing the same though listing up to 7 so I'm guessing they don't need to specify right now and can just list them as part of a relay pool.

 

Yeah. It’s kinda like the “relay only” swimmers. The relays qualifies the extra spots and it’s up to you how to use them in the relays. At the games countries can use their individuals, their relay only athletes or even athletes from other events that they haven’t specified already (Mark English ran previously for our 4x4 really for example)

Except the relay only swimmers have to swim at least once.

Mawdsley confirmed yesterday that she intends to run every race she can at the Olympics. Which is good because we need her for both relay heats. We likely wouldn't have won the women's 400m medal at the Euros had she not come in as a late replacement in the heat as we'd likely has missed out on the final without her. Hopefully she doesn't find herself in the individual repechage race as she could end up running seven races in that case. 

 

It does however mean that a few of the named 400m runners most likely won't make it to the track at all. Outside of the obvious four women, probably only one more (Cadden?) will actually run a race, filling in for Adeleke in the women's 400m relay heat, as Becker will likely fill her place in the mixed.

Mystery solved. Swim Ireland are accepting Shane Ryans OQT in the 50m Free so he is not a relay only swimmer. No OCT invites for Shortt or Ferguson. 

[Oldira 88]

Both Conor Ferguson and John Shortt failed to get OCT invites (or Swim Ireland refused) which seems strange as swimmers ranked below them were selected. Unless these swimmers were selected under the universality rule. Which is not in qualification document.
