Golf

A mixed team event was added. No athlete quotas were allocated to this event and will completely use the field which qualified in the individual event. The top 16 nations (including the host) based on the rankings of their top man and women will qualify.

 

At the actual event, the NOC can select anyone from their pool of golfers to compete.

Max 1 for NOC?

Correct

Rhythmic Gymnastics

The 2026-27 World Cup series will be part of the qualification process. This will occur after the 2026 World Champs, but before the 2027 World Champs. The top 2 eligible individuals and top eligible group will qualify. This caused a reduction of quotas available at the 2027 World Championships which now offer 12 individual and 4 group quotas.

Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)

No, please no

Yep absolutely, I’m just very anti-AI

Rowing

Lightweight double sculls was removed from the program. The 64 athlete quotas were transferred to coastal rowing which I will discuss below. Among the returning event, one boat was added in the single sculls while one boat was removed in the double sculls and pairs. A new feature is that nations may enter in events where they didn't qualify normally using athletes qualified in other events. Six coxswain quotas have been set aside for nations wishing to compete in Eights.

 

For coastal rowing; 17 boats will compete in the men's/women's single sculls while 15 boats will compete in the mixed double sculls. 6 boats in each event will qualify at the World Beach Sprint Finals. The continental qualifiers will award 9 boats in each event (2 for Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pan America, 1 for Oceania). The single sculls will also have a spot for the host nation and a tripartite invitation. Nations can only qualify 1 man and 1 woman (though the athletes can compete in both the single sculls and double sculls events). The quota allocation priority is:

1. Mixed double sculls (World)

2. Mixed double sculls (Continental)

3. Men's/Women's Single Sculls (World)

4. Men's/Women's Single Sculls (Continental)

wait! what???

 

so, there won't be specialized double sculls, but those boats would have to feature 2 single specialists if a Nation wants to enter 2 proper singles M+W???

tell me I misread the expalaination...

I read the Olympic qualification documents for weightlifting. A country can have the opportunity to send a maximum of 4 athletes in one gender, but the conditions are very strict.

There will be specialized double sculls...just not for an NOC if it is entering singles specialists.

 

Either enter 2 singles specialists, or 1 XD specialist pair.

 

But they can in theory compete in both events, I guess, if they qualify...our top M, I think, does both.

 

But there are 17M, 17W, and 30 Pairs allotted in the quota, so I don't think the intent is that every singles entry will be in doubles.

 

(Perhaps this gets to fall in line with Weightlifting, where due to max entry quota, an NOC can't enter in every event, even if they have the best athletes...here, unless you have a pair who qualifies in both.)
