Summer Olympic Games 2020 Team Sizes

[Vektor 3,325]

This means that this is what we have officially now without the substitutes:

 

•  Hungary - 168 (1 Archery - 19 Athletics - 1 Badminton - 1 Boxing - 1 Canoeing Slalom - 17 Canoeing Sprint - 2 Cycling Mountain Bike - 1 Cycling Road - 10 Fencing - 1 Gymnastics Artistic - 1 Gymnastics Rhythmic - 14 Handball - 7 Judo - 1 Karate - 4 Modern Pentathlon - 1 Rowing - 4 Sailing - 4 Shooting - 32 Swimming - 2 Swimming Marathon - 5 Table Tennis - 1 Taekwondo - 3 Tennis - 4 Triathlon - 24 Water Polo - 1 Weightlifting - 6 Wrestling)

 

Potential changes: up to 4 additional quotas in swimming with OSTs and maybe 1 or 2 additional quotas in athletics if there will be withdrawals and reallocations. 

 

And just like for other nations this is a minimum number as when/if substitutes will participate, their quotas will be added to the official number.

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 

This is an incredible simplistic post on a very complex issue

 

By law, and as voted by referendum in Northern Ireland with the Good Friday agreement, people born in Northern Ireland are entitled to citizenship of both countries

 

All sports bar football are played on all-island basis. Hockey and rugby in Northern Ireland are predominantly played by people who would call themselves British and the national associations there use a compromise flag and anthem to appease them (not in a patronising way, they actively wanted to encourage inclusion). Hockey is an interesting case as Ireland could not even enter Olympic qualifying until 1992 as the Ulster branch of Hockey Ireland objected to it as they wished to align themselves with GB for Olympic purposes (with several winning gold in 1988). 
 

This doesn’t apply at the Olympics. Obviously for individuals it is easier for them to choose federations 

 

As there is no physical border, the nearest club/training facility for athletes living near the border may be on the other side of that borderline.  Your line about it being known but not publicised is odd because thousands do it for work reasons and no one cares. As mentioned above Rhys McClenaghan won gold in gymnastics at the commonwealth games and he lives and trains in Dublin at the Irish national sports centre (and lives in Bangor, NI when not training). 
 

To summarise, people born in Northern Ireland are free to choose British or Irish citizenship and individual athletes from NI are free to represent GBR or IRL in international competition

 

Many others will have family ties in either country (particularly as Ireland has a long history of emigration to GB) and athletes born in either country but with parents or grandparents from the other can represent them

 

The wider issue of why someone from NI would choose to represent one over the other is a different, more complex issue and one that I’m afraid you’ll have to research yourself

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

 accepted their quota (based on the latest update), if NZL somehow rejected the quota it will be given to

It seems all confirmed to me and there are total 42 players. Do I get it right or any other pending issures?

Yes it is still 42 MS. 38 of original + 3 extra due to male players in multiple events (Yuta Watanabe, Seo Seungjae, Mark Lamsfuss) + 1 refugee place

Actually football is not the only sport with separate governing bodies in the island of Ireland. For example the Olympics preeminent sport athletics is governed by Athletics Northern Ireland and operates under the umbrella of UK Athletics alongside the other constituent parts of the UK.

But there is no international Northern Ireland athletics team (save for the commonwealth games, which is clearly a unique event) - that was my only point. Individuals can choose GBR or IRL.  In athletics, the majority choose to represent IRL (for a variety of reasons, including it being easier to get into international squads)

 

If you look at the bottom of the NIA web page you'll see both British Athletics and Athletics Ireland linked. For obvious political reasons, the "Northern Ireland and Ulster" championships are deliberately named. The last story posted is about athletes selected for the IRL under 23 team https://athleticsni.org/

 

Again, it's a complex issue and thankfully in Athletics, the athletes can choose to represent either as they wish

[Nickyc707 382]

 +4 Athletics

 

Four athletes have been added today increasing the number of track and field athletes to 76 and the overall size of the team to 372. Benolympique you've amended the number of fencers but not the overall total!

 

The only outstanding question now is which single women's weightlifting quota Colombia choose to retain of the four they originally secured. If it isn't the 76kg category then GB will gain the reallocated quota and the final size of the team will be 373.
