That confused me at first too. Looks like we have another example of a sports federation not knowing their own rules.

I guess the Tongan federation would now like to kill me after me asking them on Facebook about this and sending the earlier posted document which showed their player getting an invitation..

I strongly suggest that you don't visit Tonga any time soon.

Whoops

 

At least BWF managed to realize their mistake

Sad news for Lino Muñoz   The stupid people in the Mexican Olympic Committee think that this invitation is akin to a wild card and are thinling of rejecting it. The president of the national badminton fed just requested a clarification for BWF in which they explain his place is due to a reallocation of quotas based on individual rankings.

 

In the end Finland's Ville Lang might get the last available place.

And its official, Lino Muñoz will be in Rio (source)

 

With this, Mexico has at least one athlete in each individual sport, with the exception of Tennis.
