:GBR 379 Quotas ? is that correct?

No, you've got an error in the fencing quota. It should be 1 not 12 bringing the total number of athletes down to 368.

 

The BOC has to confirm the 6 judokas, 4 golfers and 3 showjumpers in the next few days.

 

In addition, the total of 368 will increase as there are more track and field athletes to be named and possibly an additional weightlifter once it becomes clear which quotas Colombia are dropping. The final total will be between 370-80 and I'll confirm the final figures as soon as they are available.

 

I do a lot of work on this site and it is up to date.

The full name of our country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The olympic committee is called the British Olympic Committee and is the NOC for Great Britain and Northern Ireland so they reflect the same areas.

 

People in Northern Ireland can choose whether they wish to compete for GB or Ireland and so far seven Northern Ireland athletes have been selected for Team GB in Rio. Others will no doubt  have been selected for the Irish team. Their prospective gymnastic medallist whose name escapes me at the moment is from the north.

 

However, this crossover doesn't just cover Northen Ireland but the whole of the UK and the island of Ireland given the close familial links between many citizens of the two countries. I read a few years ago that half the citizens of Ireland had family members living in the UK for instance. Two members of the current British Olympic team previously represented Ireland, while I know some Irish competitors who have previously represented GB or one of its constituent parts, i.e. England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

 

It can be a cause of conflict as some sporting bodies represent the whole of the island of Ireland as the Irish Olympic Committee claims to do, while some like football reflect the current border on the island. As an example if hockey players from Northern Ireland want to play for GB at the Olympics they have to play for England, Scotland or Wales rather than Ireland. At the last Olympic games there were four Northern Irish players in the men's GB hockey squad placed in this position.

 

The situation is probably unique simply because of our close  history and the intermingling of the peoples of both countries over a long period of time. There really is more that unites us than divides us despite what some may think.

There are always a  number of athletes who represent Ireland at the Olympics and then Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games . I saw somewhere that it is not unknown -but not much publicised -for some to actually be living  on the Republic's side of the border . Only temporarily of course .

 

An  interesting issue is now Ireland is competing in Olympic team sports -hockey and rugby 7s . Which -unlike association football - have always been All Ireland  teams 

There have  always been Northerners who wouldn't want to join in the singing of the  Republic's national anthem . Guess they just have to glare and look grim faced

Well, our current official number is quite strange, which was declared by our NOC yesterday: 175. 

 

They are counting all of our substitutes, so it's actually 168+7. For some reason they are still not counting our male badminton quota, I am not sure what's going on with that one. We are also waiting for our OST swimmers. 

 

As far as substitutes are concerned, we usually count the team fencing substitutes at every SOG as they will very likely to take part in their event as full members (which is why I feel like it's cheating from IOC and FIE that they are counting 3 athletes per teams). So that's +3 quotas this time as we have 3 fencing teams. We are also counting +2 for the two water polo teams,+1 for our handball team and +1 for our table tennis team. I think most of these substitutes will participate at the Olympics in some way and that's why we are counting them. 

 

Anyway, the supposedly official list is here as always, they will update it if someone else qualifies (hopefully they will add that second badminton quota soon): http://olimpia.hu/magyar-csapat-14

 

Personally I would say that without the substitutes we have 169 athlete quotas.

The badminton men's singles (Gergely Krausz) is like 95% not going. He depends on a slot which is only allocated if there are men players playing in more than one event. In the original list he was qualified but after BWF confirmed the other quotas, one Dutch men's doubles refused quota (he's retired) and GB/England selected Lane/Vendy instead of 2016 bronze medalists Ellis/Langridge (Ellis also plays in mixed doubles).

 

This means there will be 2 less men's singles player and unfortunately it means Gergely Krausz and Emre Lale (TUR) is not going to Tokyo 2020 unless there are other men's singles withdrawing.

Hm, that's a shame, thanks for confirming it.

What about Oceania quota? Is :NZL accepting it or :HUN is missing out even after its reallocation?

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
