I'm still confused about that I suspect the IAAF changed the rules to include more athletes. Canada named 7 athletes each for its two relays.

So I'm thinking those are 6 official quotas. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you count the athletes named though they name 22 individual quotas (including Phil Healy) but the OFI say there’s a team of 25 So they’ve named a 4 person relay team of Healy + 3 others with 2 alternates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's still 4 officially. I wonder will Athletics Ireland have to specify the 4 main team members and 2 alternates before the competition. If they are allowed to choose any 4 out of 6 up until the day of competition then it's weird that it is being counted as 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 853 Posted July 8, 2021 #856 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I think they may have told the athletes concerned and the relevant bodies. They’re just making it as vague as possible to keep the athletes concerned involved as much as possible. It’s nice for them to feel part of the squad I’d imagine Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's beneath their pride, but they should have applied for a judo wild card following the historic win in Rio. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
