Around 35 refugee athletes will be announced tomorrow. Sounds like a lot...

From what I remember, they were originally targeting 30, so that number is around the rumored target that comes to mind.

Where do the quotas come from？And what if it breaks the fragile gender parity?

I believe they are IOC Executive Invitations (which means they don’t come from the original quota allocations).

Curious if any of the two road cyclists will get a call-up.

 

The chance of completing the race - 0%.

Could be political asylum.

Probably along with the number of Iranians and at least one Venezuelan who are on this list.
