Nathan Tchibozo of  is racing again, who knows what his status is but maybe a quota this week. Also Papathoma Paraskevaidou of  raced today, could be an alpine quota for them.

And this is the final Medal Table fo the XX Bolivarian Games in     

Agreed. But OTOH, the chances of a Male Team pursuit medal also seem rather slim at the moment, so why the hassle of dropping someone.

I have a sports database with millions of entries, which I then convert graphically on my Wikipedia sandbox.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the same this time. The men's 500m has basically on or with luck two medal chances, but certainly not three (semi-realistic) ones. With Beau Snellink for now not exactly on his way to an Olympic ticket and Patrick Roest still questionable, that might only leave Chris Huizinga, Jorrit Bergsma and Marcel Bosker, and that is not exactly a group one would want to have in the team pursuit.

4 years ago the third Male 500 metres qualifier was dropped for a Team pursuit rider. 

In the 5000 she probably won't (first alternate at the moment).      What are the chances of the matrix "prioritizing" a mTP squad ? 

Looks like it. Not too surprising at all, it fits anticipated behaviour of contemporary forums about politics. To be more clear - suffering isnt something that bothers people on universal level. 50000 slain Christians in 14 years - not interested. But other atrocities around the world - bring it on baby.   

Gonna be interesting Olympic qualifiers again in the Netherlands. Only 9 spots available per gender, we'll have 5 days of anxiously filling in the 'matrix' table  As almost every speed skater says, more intense than the Olympics itself and every skater absolutely hates it, Fun for people to watch though.   I do think they should have made some rule like 'if you win three World Cups in a single distance before the OQT, you get a spot', but they didn't and obviously you can't just add that now.
