Eh I remember last time we didn't even list here the jordanian medalist and also that a universality shot put athlete from Congo was 4th, so... I don't think I should tighten the criteria. Otherwise the list would be 7 people and this thread would be boring.

 

As for Mali, are you certain they have no chance left to qualify? Like, there aren't any more events to earn ranking points? (How far away are they from a place at the OQT btw?).

Surprises are very common in taekwondo though.

 

Mali is at least 15 places behind possible OQT participation. It's not going to happen. And if we list Mali based on this questionable (and largely wrong) hunch, then we may as well list all 300+ events for all countries...

Finally got around to updating the athlete database on my website. Below are athletes not yet listed which achieved a top 8 result in an Olympic event at a World Championship dating back to 2017.

 

Albania – Evagjelia Veli (Weightlifting, Women’s -59kg)

American Samoa – Josh Failauga (Wrestling, Men’s Freestyle -57kg)

Benin – Odile Ahouanwanou (Athletics, Women’s Heptathlon)

Bosnia and Herzegovina – Nedzad Husic (Taekwondo, Men’s -68kg)

Turkmenistan – Kristina Sermetowa (Weightlifting, Women’s -55kg)

 

For your "qualifies by merit" restriction, are you counting only World Qualifiers or would qualifying via Continent Qualifiers be enough?

What part of my criteria are you talking about?

Individual sports that qualify by mark: anyone that has already achieved OQ time/score/height/distance or that we think is likely to.

That is for sports in which you qualify by reaching a certain mark, doesn't matter which competition it is achieved as long as it's achieved. 

 

Basically, this is only for athletics and swimming.
