That's nice for Fiji and Tonga.

 

Though, it's weird that Samoa misses an Olympic QT once again! They qualified two taekwondo athletes and one archer in 2012, but this time they didn't even show up at Oceanian qualifications.

 

Money is always a big problem for Pacific nations with athletes quite often paying their own way to these events.

In the internal Dutch selections, Sjef van der Berg is so far on top. Rick van der Ven is in second and Mitch Dielemans third and they have quite a big lead on the other two archers (there's three places available, so the top-3 goes to Rio). They had three competitions in the Netherlands in the past days and there are two World Cups and the European Championships which will count as well.

 Tonga's Sifa Taumopepeau won the men's quotas 

Awesome, he'll be 55 in Rio :d 

 

He competed at 43 in the Athens Olympics, finished 62nd in the ranking round ahead of only the atletes of Laos and Mauritius. One place above him there by the way was Elder, Fiji's qualifier of this week :d 

 

Also, Tatafu will be Tonga's first ever woman in Olympic archery :)

Tonga is doing a good job, possibly on the road for their biggest team ever. They already have 3 athletes (without swimming and athletics). Their record is 7 (from their first Olympics in 1984). In 2008 and 2012 they had only 3.

At best they will tie their record of seven. The only other sport that they can realistically qualify in is rugby sevens. Maybe a tripartite in weightlifting is possible too.

Maybe also a tripartite in boxing, they competed at Asian/Oceanian qualifications.
