Is it such few quotas? In 470 we have 12 and 14 quotas for nations based on the 2018 and 2019 World Championships, not to mention that not all of the continent/host quotas are "wasted." At this point

Mozambique overtook Angola and now leads by 2 points. Against all odds.

Yes, hopefully they post results soon.

 

So far, all I know is we have entries from :ANG:MOZ:RSA

 

Edit: Looks like South Africa is only competing in the 420 event

I wonder if Mozambique was invited just to give this event some kind of legitimacy. :lol:

 

To be fair Angola was the only African boat to compete in the men's 470 at the last couple of World Championships. This saved them the cost of sending a boat to Italy to claim the quota plus they get to send a female boat too :p

I just wish these "free" continental quotas will be limited in the future, like establishing that the only will be awarded if three or more members from a continent with a current ranking compete in it.

Yes this I’m fine with, but every continent should have a competitor in every sport. In fact, part of my complete overhaul of the Olympic qualification system I’m working on involves getting great participation from developing nations.

I agree each event should have a continent from every continent; however, with so few quotas it's unfair that they get a free pass just because there are no other competitors in their area.

Fair point. It makes a case that a sport might not deserve a chance but place in the Olympics then...

      Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.

      Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota

      Thats good, but I think Galica should take some rest because of his age and Suchodolski could be replaced by Skorusa for example to give him any chance to show in World Cup
