Summer Olympic Games 2016 Unqualified NOCs

[JoshMartini007 2,767]

 

 

This thread will keep track of NOCs not yet qualified and suggest sports and events in which they could qualify their first athletes. Tripartite athletes do not count, but the nations will be noted if they do have one. If someone has a suggestion don't hesitate to say so. I am quite lenient so unlikely is okay, impossible is not.

Chad should have a chance in men's marathon. Their runner, Ahmat Abdou-Daoud, had 2:19:34 last year. Needs only to find 34 seconds.

Thanks, IAAF doesn't post "almost qualified" times for marathons anymore so it is hard to find them.

Do you know when the first tripartitie quota will be awarded?

Same here. Especially in shooting since the qualifying process has already been done.

There's no specific date, but the first ones will probably be awarded in April.

As for shooting the tripartite is quite simple. Right now there are 20 tripartite nations with MQS fighting for 24 spots. The main question is whether or not the nation applied for one.

Guam should have a chance in men's mountain bike. They are planning to attend Oceanian Championships and they will basically need a single point to qualify.

For Togo, they actually didn't enter a competitor in the category you listed (Men's -60), but they do have the third seeded boxer in Men's -75. http://d152tffy3gbaeg.cloudfront.net/2016/02/Boxing2016-AIBA-African-Olympic-Qualification-Event-Mens-75KG-Draw-Sheet.pdf

Thanks, sometimes athletes that could qualify drop out due to lack of funds.

Media in Malawi report that they will have 2 taekwondo athletes in Rio. Their only entrant in the African qualifiers didn't make it, so these must be tripartite places or something (if true of course)?
