Is the mixed 4x400m relay in athletics counting as 4 quotas or 6? 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.

Yes and Athletics Ireland named 6 for our mixed relay with no mention who the reserves are, just that the team will be 4 of those 6. So I'm thinking those are 6 official quotas.

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

Yes you're right. 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.

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

Water polo 12 or 13 after all? I see everyone nominating 13

 

(our coach nominated 13 + 2 reserves)

Sad. I know it's beneath their pride, but they should have applied for a judo wild card following the historic win in Rio.
