If they want to reduce the number of the athletes so much, why the fuck has the men's football event still 16 teams? 

[NearPup 3,051]

Track Cycling quotas are basically identical - the men lost three spots, women gained four spots. Presumably qualification will be almost identical to what it was in 2020.

[intoronto 5,641]

Swimming loses 26 quotas (rip more tripartie quotas)

Marathon swimming loses 3 per gender (6 total)

Artistic swimming loses 8 spots

Athletics loses 90!! quotas

Canoeing lost 10, not 12

Cycling freestyle goes from 9 to 12 per gender

MB loses 2 per gender

Cycling road loses 17 spots total Men lose 40 spots, women gain 23 wow!!

Track sees 4 men's spots transferred to women

Artistic gymnastic loses 2 per gender, rhythmic loses 2

Judo loses 14

Rowing loses 24

Sailing loses 20

Shooting loses 20

 

These are the changes not announced in the PC.

Minus the fact there will be (probably) 6 nations per team sprint event?

Other than weightlifting being murdered and road cycling quotas going way down this isn't as bad as I expected. Sad the 50km walk got cut, but not surprised.

Jeez, we really have now to start working on that extreme kayaking

[Jur 683]

So...... no team Golf, with one of the most exciting ideas. Sad.

 

Mens road race needed a reduction and the womans an increse, good for that.

Overall not bad, but nothing exciting.

Wait, WHAT? Why give less quotas to men? It's already too few as it is. I agree about women's artistic and I don't care too much about rhythmic because there are very few gymnasts good enough to fight for medals, but decreasing the number of men, even by 2, is absurd.
