Looking at the entry list…

 

For the men India, Iraq and Malaysia are safe though technically India could miss out should their final lifters finish with 0 and Syria over performs by a bit. Japan needs just 2 out of their final 4 lifters to finish. Despite being ranked in the top seven Philippines and Mongolia have no remaining lifters and will drop off the list (unless some crazy stuff happens). The last three spots will be between Kyrgyzstan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkmenistan. Sri Lanka would need very favourable results to have a chance. According to the entry list Syria is the odd nation out and has the hardest path where all four remaining lifters must finish at their listed rank, but a DNF for Kyrgyzstan in the -94kg or Turkmenistan in the +105kg (or even finishing 2nd out of eligible nations) could let Syria sneak in.

 

For the women India, Philippines, Uzbekistan and Vietnam are safe. Mongolia requires one of their three final lifters to finish where their entry list has them. The final spot will be between Turkmenistan and United Arab Emirates. The entry list has Turkmenistan winning by 1 and the pressure will be on the athlete in -75kg to finish 5th among unqualified nations as UAE can literally have their lifters lift with no weights and they’ll get the same amount of points.

It's interesting that things would be much more straightforward for Turkmenistan if their final lifter competed in +75 instead of -75. They would just have to finish ahead of UAE there, what wouldn't be any kind of a problem according to the entry weights. Meanwhile, in current scenario they need her to finish 5th (or better) and hope that none of the lifters in +75 bombs out. That is also likely but not as assuring.

+75kg group B just finished with the snatch and surprise surprise, one UAE girl is actually 1kg ahead of the girl from Iraq :yikes:

 

Edit: Never mind, the UAE girls are the only ones in +75kg, the rest is acting in 75kg which they combined because of the lack of competitors :d

Turkmenistani girl did what she had to. Now :TKM only needs to hope that none of the relevant lifters in +75 bombs out...

 

Meanwhile, :KSA had a horrible session today in B group of -94 as one of their lifters bombed out... This could be the end of their hopes.

Saudi Arabia should be fine if the other lifter did what he was suppose to do. Though they'll have to hope Syria doesn't overperform too much over the last three events.

I didn't realize that Saudi Arabia's other lifter didn't do as well as we was listed. This gives both Turkmenistan and Syria a chance to finish above them (along with Japan).

Guys, the whole calculations are pointless until they announce the final list of 2015 WC. by my count Japan will finish in top 24 after that, this can change the whole thing in Asian Qualifiers. does anybody calculate the scores without Japan ?

Yeah, Japan is likely qualifier through Worlds, if it even happens. They are running out of time for corrections...

 

There should be a fairly good chance that next best nation from here will qualify if Japan gets promoted, unless two or more nations tie on points or something.

Hopefully Syria can pull it off here. They are most likely going to compete only in athletics and swimming if they fail here, what would be sad.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
