The hierarchy of the allocations can change the outcome. However, I'm not sure Israel has a winning argument here. Quote Israel Swimming finds this to be inconsistent with the qualification procedures, which calls for the unused host country spot to go to the next highest NOC not already qualified I don't see that in the language regarding the host country quota. The text (from the version I viewed [25.01.2023]) states, "next highest placed athlete(s)." It doesn't seem to restrict NOCs with one quota from being allocated a second. In terms of the reallocation of Oceania's quota, I do think they are correct about the language. However, I think they are wrong about the hierarchy. Oceania's quota technically can't be allocated at the same time as the other quotas, since it doesn't have some of the contingencies bestowed to those. I believe it would trigger the formal reallocation process outlined in section F, which (in my analysis of the document and results) would result in the quota being awarded to . Of course, this post is based on my interpretation of the qualification document, which could be flawed. Josh 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Jur 556 Posted April 5 #113 Share Posted April 5 (edited) So I guess someone in the women's event rejected a quota that went to María Bramont-Arias, who was 25th in the qualifier and the next in line ¿¿????

Paragraph D1.2 of the qualification document mentions that an unused host country quota ends up to the next highest placed athlete from 2024 World Championships. This would mean Brazil, as their athlete finished 14th. However, paragraph F2 states that an unused host country place is reallocated to the next highest placed NOC from 2024 World Championships, provided that the NOC is not yet qualified. If this is applied after handing out continental quotas, Peru is first on the line. Peru's federation first reported that they got a quota on 13 March, much earlier than world aquatics.

Probably that's it. They are giving an extra quota to Peru, simply because they don't know how to be clear in their documents.
