So :NZL has 1 men’s & 1 women’s qualifier, and they will be competing in mixed team as well, correct???

Not necessarily. And there’s a high chance they will reject one or both of the quotas. Per NZL Olympic Team “They must maintain top 16 form for us to send them”

While true, with mixed team being an event, it will be a lot easier for the archers to argue that they can finish in the top 16.

New Zealand took their quotas, and it's not like they can afford to lose many of them.

 

As much as I like the Pacific nations to win quotas, it doesn't belong to them. New Zealand may not take the quota either, they were 56/58 at the World Championships, well below their standard. This likely comes down to how many nations form a mixed team. In 2016, 24 nations had at least one male and one female archer. In that scenario we could see New Zealand declining a quota considering they will be the weakest team on paper (maybe an African nation might be weaker).

 

Regardless, they will still have one male archer quota to fight over (likely going to Fiji)
