To revive some discussion here, I did my own qualifying simulation, here's a Google sheet of the team sizes (and discipline breakdown).

Some notes:

- Qualification was simulated based on the most current qualification document (2028 or 2024) available. For new events I went by as much information available, upholding the Olympic values for diversity.

- This was based by the current performance of athletes/teams. Injured athletes or athletes which took a year off were not considered. This will given future updates a more dynamic feeling.

- Until we receive an update from the IOC, Belarussian and Russian athletes will be considered if the sport federation currently allows them to compete.

- As with previous Olympics, refugee athletes will be given extra quotas to compete unless qualified normally.

- For tripartite quotas, I generally gave it to the best eligible athlete. In reality, this doesn't always happen as it is application based so a lower ranked athlete may be given the quota or a reallocation may occur.

 

 

Over the next week I'll take a deeper dive into these numbers for some interesting facts.
