Hope :SRI is a reallocated a spot. They have a young talent who almost become wprld youth champ a couple years ago. On their team is also a multiple time Commonwealth Games medalist and a gold medalist from Melbourne.

 

They are probably the most likely Asian nation to get one (provided that they applied), but there is going to be a lot of competition from the Pacific nations. Almost every single one will apply for a quota and with no athlete in an individual ranking position the competition will be even greater.

It must be super-competitive for a Weightlifting wild card! I expect every eligible oceanian nation other than Vanuatu has probably applied for a wild card.

 

Hopefully, a few of them can qualify at the continental championships, :SOL Solomon Islands, :PNG Papua New Guinea, :SAM Samoa and :FIJ Fiji have a big chance to qualify on the women's side, along with :AUS Australia and  :NZL New Zealand of course. For the men :NRU Nauru and :KIR Kiribati have good chances to qualify as well.

I decided to see what it would look like if we expand the women's individual qualification to top 15. Currently 9 athletes and 6 new nations would be added to the five already listed. From the total five are from European nations; Azerbaijan (ranked 1), Georgia (13), Latvia (13), Norway (15) and Moldova (15). In Africa Nigeria (7, 14, 15) is pretty much guaranteed to qualify through the team rankings along with Cameroon (10) while Mauritius (15) will have a chance should they send a full team. In Oceania Samoa (10, 13) will be a heavy favourite. In Pan America both Canada (7) and Chile (14) should qualify as well.

 

So even expanding to the top 15 we have a chance at not filling the seven quotas.

The reallocation process for individual rankings could allow a few of the nations you mentioned above to qualify

Quote
  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.

It would be good to see a current list of athletes that might qualify through this method

Pretty much. Australia will likely qualify in both the men and women. New Zealand would be on the edge. PNG, Samoa and Fiji will be the top nations in both genders. Kiribati will be the favourite to take the men's quota. The other nations will end up in a fight for wild cards. Cook Islands and Solomon Islands are more likely to get a women's wild card. Marshall Islands too, but I see their chance being less likely. On the men's side Nauru will be the massive favourite (Kiribati too should they fail to qualify). Micronesia will likely be given a spot. After that things get muddied. Tuvalu and Palau's lifter are essentially their most notable athlete while American Samoa and Tonga have a better team on average. Guam and Vanuatu will end up being a non-factor.

 

This is also ignoring potential wild card athletes from Africa (Libya and Madagascar will be big favourites in the men should they not qualify) and Pan America.

Nicaragua is probably the big favourite for tripartite quota place in women's weightlifting. And I would like to see Marshall Islands getting a wild card, they competed at Worlds last year and had some medals at Pacific Games. On the other hand, Tuvalu and Solomon Islands must get a wild card, otherwise they will compete only in athletics, what would be sad... This is probably the only thing they applied for anyway. Kiribati too if they fail to qualify.

 

I think it's safe to assume that New Zealand won't be sending weightlifters, even if they do qualify.

New Zealand has always been inconsistent about their standards. They sent a male athlete in 2012. I guess their argument was that their athlete could finish in the top 16 (he finished 14th though there were many DNFs)

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
