Are you sure Woolley was 6th in the rankings? Here it says 7th at time of Olympic quotas were awarded? http://m.worldtaekwondo.org/ranking/ranking.html

I guess you mean because 2 Koreans were in that list and only one per NOC can go to the Olympics?

I miscounted! He was 7th and 6 made it from the rankings. I thought he was 6th and 5 made it! 
 

Apologies!

I’d definitely include 8 swimmers..4 plus the 4 x 200m relay team.  Also I think that divers will be ok. There is no way FINA can exclude them after saying they had qualified on their website. I’d be far less confident about the medley relay. An awful lot of our athletes are close to the cut off on both sides. We could have a load or just a handful. The next couple of weeks will be seriously interesting. I think Nadia Power is now ranked 29 so is probably safe

 

You can only send 2 relay-only swimmers with 1 relay team so that's why we can only add 2 extra quotas for the relay.

No worries, it's a confusing world these quotas but lots of fun to track. I will keep it 7th then, even though he was 6th among NOCs. But the relevant thing is that he made it!

Apparently not according to the responses I received in the athletics thread.

I checked the 4 x 100 results from 2016. Jamaicas women got 6 medals to include the 2 runners who ran in the heats but not the final. Unless the rule was changed for 2020 and I find no record of that

I thought so as well but here is what the official document says:

 

Mixed 4 x 400m:

NOCs may enter one (1) team for this relay event. A total of four (4) athletes, two (2) men and two (2) women, may be entered for the relay team. In addition, NOCs can nominate a maximum of two (2) P alternate athletes for each team, one (1) man and one (1) woman.

 

According to others in the athletics thread, those P alternate athletes are not accredited and not officially part of the team unless called up. I wasn't sure so that is why I asked on that thread.

The IOC told sporting federations to reallocate North Koreas quotas so it looks now that Megan Ryan can be officially included in Team Ireland.

Yes, looks like she is in :)

 

Going to wait for some official release from either Gymnastics Ireland or the Olympic Federation of Ireland or FIG before adding her.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
