Isn't it also possible, that federations with two qualified athletes in Open Water can instead nominate another one from the pool?

 

To use Germany as an example, couldn't Lukas Märtens get nominated instead of Oliver Klemet? By the way, I'm convinced this won't happen, because Klemet is strong in Open Water while Märtens focusses on the pool, but shouldn't it be theoretically possible? And there might be other examples, in which the federation might do exactly that, i.e. Paltrinieri.

Yes, Poland should get the EU quota. Austria and Czech Republic both get the reallocated quotas, so going off the Wikipedia Czech Republic should replace the second American quota.

Do you maybe know when we can expect an official confirmation?

I dunno, I'd probably wait until your federation says summat as they seems to be the ones who are confirming it for their respective countries. You can look at the results on Final if you want, which shows that what the Wikipedia says is wrong.

For my list, I was just referencing athletes from NOCs that don't have two athletes in an open water event. 

 

You are mostly right. Quotas at the 2023 world championships were awarded to the athlete while quotas at these world championships were awarded to the NOC. So Italy would be able to select Paltrinieri but for Germany, Wellbrock and Klemet qualified in 2023 so I believe they have to be selected.

Will be interesting to see how many of the medal winners will also win a medal in Paris. I would say 1 or 2 on the men's side and maybe 1 on the women's side. Pretty much all the big names apparently didn't take this competition very seriously.
