That's one way to save around 100 athletes, I guess...

3x3 basketball has an interesting quota place dedicated for universality. Only nations who haven't participated in basketball at the last two Olympics are eligible.

 

Therefore, will all be excluded...

In women basketball there will be 1 tournament with 12 participants granting 5 places. Mah...

And I've just seen that sadly world relays won't be considered for the olympic qualification.

Thanks to the universality tournament Italy can qualify the men's team

With this briliant IOC/IAAF movie, we will be looking to have a record number of nations with 1 (male) athlete. would all have had one male athlete at Rio Olympics had these rules been applied. And a whole bunch of nations would have had fewer female athletes (if any).

 

But hey, now we have mixed gender relay. And surfing.

The IAAF is likely upset with the IOC because they had to reduce their quotas.

That's super sad...

At least in swimming they still can do it, but men, athletics is more global than swimming...

 

 

And sadly this would mean that a lot of woman would be left out, cause let's be clear, most of these poor countrys would rather have a men.
