Mixed compound team in LA2028 will be 12 teams, so we will have 52 quotas for recurve per gender. 36 of those will go to team events, leaving only 16 individual quotas per gender.

12 less than in Paris.

Dont know if i like it or not. 

Compound is fun to watch but certainly not frigging mixes.

Would it be the end of the world if those 12 athletes also competed in individuals?

It is not approved yet by IOC, but the initial proposal from WA was to reduce to 8 teams in recurve, so 24 quotas would go to team events and 28 for individual quotas per gender.

The problem there is that you’d also need some additional individual quotas to keep it fair for the countries not qualified in the mixed team event.

IMO that’s good news given the circumstances. I was worried they would get the extra 12 quotas by reducing the size of the teams from 3 to 2.

world archery has already taken this new quota distribution for official 

 

they already wrote an article about the chance to have more individuals from "exotic" places rather than the usual powerhouses that already monopolize the team events

[ChandlerMne 1,202]

I like inclusion in sports but if overall quality of competition will suffer - no thanks.

In all fairness, i guess we all enjoy team recurve competition because of these powerhouses.
