I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  

So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas: Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings:  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / , Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out.  nevermind 

The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)

Squash This is a new sport here's how the quotas are distributed by gender:   Continental Games - 5 Host Nation - 1 World Rankings - 8 Universality - 1 Final Qualification Tournament - 1   Only the top 2 nations (based on the ranking of the second athlete) may enter two athletes. Potentially, a third nation may enter two, but only if there aren't enough eligible athletes in the top 50.   The final qualification tournament will consist of the top 24 nations which do not have a quota.

In Paris also they were announced the day of the OC in the morning, so I expect the same this time as well
