Yes, but if I understand the qualification process correctly, Canada's will keep the place won in Pan American championships and the place it currently has in the individual rankings will be assigned to the NOC of the next best lifter in the individual rankings.

thanks, in that case i dont have any hope of argentinian qualification for reallocation.

Can India have more qualifications in weightlifting

Unless something amazing happens, will qualify in men's division. By amazing I mean Venezuela managing to qualify with 5 lifters. It's actually possible if they win the last event, but their last lifter is not so good.

Actually, Kobaladze will not finish unfortunately, meaning Canada ties with Chile on total number of classification points (116). Meanwhile if Venezuela finish in 6th position or better they will qualify even when their first three competitors did not finish.

What a blow for Canada, but not over yet. Venezuela is 6th after snatch, 5 kilos behind 5th and in front of Mexico because of body mass (Mexican lifter is almost 60kg heavier so it's not exactly tight ). Anyhow, Venezuelan lifter also has a solid opening weight in c&j so it looks like VEN could indeed make it with only 5 lifters!

It's finished, but in weightlifting there is always a hope for doping.

So what's the tiebreak if Canada and Chile tie?

Looks like Chile is ahead of Canada on tie break. For a tie break the highest number of individual points is used. Both CAN and CHI have 1x23 points and 1x22 points. Chile's third highest points are 21 while Canada's is 19.

And it seems, the scoreboard was wrong and Kobaladze indeed will finish, giving Canada a quota.
