seleted two athletes: to compete in Rio: Kathy Sealy (heptathlon) and Brandon Jones (Triple Jump).

 

However, there's been some controversy(another article) over the nomination of Sealy. Kaina Martinez was closer to qualifying, winning this years Central American Championships 100m with a time of 11.56 (the closer a Belizean athlete came to making the qualification standard), in addition to help Belize win the 4x100m relay and earning a silver in 200m. On its part Jones won the Triple Jump with a 16.22m attempt (rather good considering the wind was -1.9)

 

In my opinion, Martinez was screwed by its own people, and in case Belizean Committee didn't read qualification rules, Sealy is not eligible to compete in heptathlon under a universality place.

Liechtenstein NOC has confirmed their Rio 2016 team. Just 3 athletes are going to compete. They applied for two more wild cards (in judo and archery) but didn't get them sadly. Also their marathon runner failed to reach the standard set by
