Thanks for sharing! This covers the withdrawn quotas + unused individual quotas.

 

Some seem a bit random though, for example Uruguay in women's.

 

@konig like we said, there is always a hope for doping reallocation in weightlifting.

WHY FRANCE confirmed a quota allocation on its website in men?

And Greece got a men's spot (even though their athlete is in the top 15 ?)

 

This also removes a lot of wild card countries and also increases the chances the chances of countries like Bangladesh to get one.

That's what bugging me too. Hard to believe that Greece got 2 in men's weightlifting.

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

http://www.iwf.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2014/05/2014-05-28-Rio-2016-Qualification-System-FINAL-Weightlifting-EN.pdf

 

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...
