Palau*

 

Palau declined its quota won in judo so they are back on. If you include tripartite quotas we are now down to 13 nations which have yet to qualify anyone.

I really feel South Asia is the black hole of olympic sports .......look at the statistics they are shocking 

 

Pakistan - 200 million population - 1 official quota + 2 tripartite 

Bangladesh - 168 million - None as of now +  2 tripartite 

Burma - 56 million - 1 official quota + 0 tripartite 

Afghanistan - 32 million - No official quota + 1 tripartite 

Nepal - 31 million - No official quota + 3 tripartite 

Bhutan ( smallest ) - 0.7 million - No official + 1 tripartite 

Srilanka ( most respectable ) - 21 million - 4 official + 5 tripartite 

 

If I leave out Srilanka and India out of it ................here you have a region of close to 470 million population and 2 official quotas - 1 shooter and 1 judoka  ( to put in perspective the entire population of south america is just 370 million or so 

 

Really this is the pits ....I think by comparison of course we at India  are doing reasonably well ....105 quotas ( 2 can be considered unearned  in part - swimming ) hoping to close at 115-120 ..............

There are a few reasons for this, but a major reason is the current line-up of sports isn’t appealing to that region. Throw in sports like cricket or kabaddi and the number of athletes from that region will increase quite a bit.
