Summer Olympic Games 2016 Wild Cards

[JoshMartini007 2,538]

Very good choices overall. I doubt the other women's single sculls spot will be filled so that spot will be reallocated to the final qualification regatta (Europe + CAN/USA/AUS/NZL).

Rowing wild cards added. All three nations will be making their Olympic debuts in rowing.

Source please? Don't forget to add it when there are announcements on wildcard invitations and results from the qualifying tournaments.

If true, Rwanda won't be accepting any wild cards. http://www.newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2015-01-26/185336/

Well, my job for posting the results of Rwanda as my "small country at Rio 2016" has just got a lot easier!

Rwanda have qualified 4 athletes so far I believe - so they are not at risk of sending nobody to the Olympics.

They have the potential to qualify a couple more athletes in athletics (most likely 10000m or Marathon) so we could se a team of around 5 or 6 in the end.

Hopefully in a few weeks. Idk why ISSF did not update the list yet? Andorra, Angola, Bhutan, and Macedonia will surely confirm these places because only one shooter has achieved the MQS. Bosnia and Herzegovina has better results for a female in 10 m air rifle than any of the four shooters who attained the MQS. Bolivia and Oman are still unconfirmed.
