Very hard to understand how the quota were reallocated.

It seems they had 8 for men and 5 for women (+6 from individual) so 19.

 

BUT they had rules to reallocate

Chapter F. Reallocation of Unused Quota Places.

the quota place will be reallocated in the respective gender, as follows:

- If the NOC qualified through the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships, the quota place will be reallocated to the best ranked NOC at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships, not yet qualified.

- If the NOC qualified through the Continental Qualification Event, the quota place will be reallocated to the next best ranked NOC at the respective event, not yet qualified.

- If the athlete qualified through the Individual Qualification, the quota place will be reallocated to the next best ranked athlete on the Olympic Qualification Ranking List of 20 June 2016 whose NOC has not yet qualified a quota place. In case of a tie, the NOC which participated in the highest number of qualification events will get the quota place.

 

And they did not seem to follow this at all.

If understand then the first reallocation for men should have gone through WC to Japan, Turkey , USA  .. wich would have forced recalculation of continental qualification.

Only at the end of the procedure individual qualification should be looked at as it is for non qualified teams.

I thought Venezuela would qualify through continentals like this instead of individual

 

So I don't understand what they decided...

It's mainly because of the IWF's decision on the issue of doping to the NOCs.

 

The IWF Executive Board voted in principle about the reallocation of 8 Men 11 Women Quota places available (subject to the approval of the IOC).

In order be fair and keep the balance between continents; considering ranking, universality and countries’ representation, (according to the current standing – subject to changes) the redistribution is as follows:

Something left and unused.

No, all of the unused quotas have been released, all we're missing is the tripartite quotas (and confirmation of the individual quotas).

 

One thing that needs to update is the 2014 and 2015 Rankings since some nations should lose points due to their athletes being caught doping.

Alright. Thanks for the update.

Well, I know that they decided to do it this way, but there was a clear rule how to do the reallocation, so I don't understand why.

 

The rules even mentioned literally that the reallocation of quota because of doping also follows reallocation procedure F.

So it has nothing to do with unexpected issue of doping

IWF disqualified more names from 2015 worlds. out of all positive A samples only one of them (Al-Saleem, KSA) is still undecided. the rest already got disqualified from the results list.

 

In this new list, they disqualified all positives from Kazakhstan, North Korea and Belarus including Kydyrbayev, Uteshov and both Kims from PRK

IWF has updated the World Championship Rankings (subject to the appealing process).

 

Quota Differences

 

Men

Japan +3

Thailand +1

France +1

Moldova -1

Azerbaijan -4 (technically -3 since they already lost one)

 

Women

Ukraine +1

Belarus -1

 

With Japan qualifying their continental quota goes to Saudi Arabia. Note I have not retroactively removed suspended athletes which competed in the continental championships so the quotas may be different. For Azerbaijan they did not qualify through the European qualifiers (and did not change which nations qualified), but they did qualify through the individual rankings (-94kg, 12th place) which they will then proceed to lose due to IWF's sanction.

How many places does Moldova already have in men's weightlifting for Rio 2016?
