Usually I checked it on Badmintalk or ibadf. Unfortunately both of them are Indonesian websites, try find word like "Prediksi" or "Road to Rio".

(Badmintalk also post the Olympic ranking seperately, just scroll until the image which doesn't have ranking change - the one with red or blue boxes).

 

I think the Netherlands will have Piek/Muskens and Arrends/Piek. The other sectors' chance are already ended

It is rewarding Grand Prix Gold level points (7000 for winner, 5950 for runner-up, and so on. You may check the details here)

 

The tournament is also the last opportunity to score more ranking points and to seal the place in Rio. Especially for singles player in 30 something place, which may help to hop over their compatriots or other players.

Btw, Bulgaria is almost confirmed its quota though: Linda Zetchiri and Stoeva Sisters

And any chance for Petya Nedelcheva or is she too far behind in the rankings?

Unfortunately, she is too far from Zetchiri (65th place to 41st place), about 6000 points are separating them. It will be tough for Nedelcheva, unless Bulgarian Federation decide to send Nedelcheva (instead of Zetchiri) or if Zetchiri is unable to participate.

Thanks! Yes it's such a shame Eric Pang got injured since his great performance at the world championships last year...otherwise he might have had a serious shot at qualifying.

Cigognini and Maddaloni out in 1st round. What disaster for us 

[NatsutoFuyu 0]

No mixed double  quota for us at Rio

 

However, I'm glad to see Kazuno/Kurihara improve their performance over the past year

[vinipereira 3,421]

Ygor Coelho and Lohaynny Vicente will represent Brazil at the Games (the first brazilian athletes to compete in Badminton).

Sad news for 3 African representatives in doubles.. Because of European pairs below them getting extra points from European championships, these three pairs are out from top 50 thus making them unable to get a continental representative quota. BWF requires Pan Am, African, and Oceanian pairs to be inside the top 50 in order to obtain continental quota for doubles(Note: African Championships already held last year).

[mrv86 3,190]

If I'm correct Australia will need to reallocate 1 continental quota (they hold it both singles events plus XD) and USA in 1 event (they have the ticket in all 3 doubles events), which result in Canada receiving an extra 2 athletes; plus South Africa will probably reject the continental spot in men's singles, leaving the ticket to Uganda.
