All these teams except women's volley are good enough to qualify in world level qualifiers (some of them qualified that way). 

 

 

Of course they might be good enough to qualify on a world level (however, I doubt it for Argentina's Handball team), but that is not the point. The point is that in most American continental qualifiers there are only very few competitive teams, so the only World class team gets basically a free pass.

For example: Women's football. Of course, USA and CAN are world class and it is absolutely desirable to have them at the Olympics. But the qualifier is ridiculous: Two competitive teams compete for two direct qualification places, wow. In Europe, however, there are six or seven World class teams competing for three places. That sucks and is beyond comparability. And please, don't come around with "Costa Rica improved a lot lately" ... CRC would not even have a chance for qualification to the European Championships.

Nearly the same in Pan American hockey: One very good team (ARG), one good team (CAN) competing for one direct place is not comparable with the depth (4-5 very good teams) in European hockey.

Canada has qualified in Football, Volleyball, Hockey, Rugby Sevens, Softball and Water Polo (and will qualify im Basketball, short of a disaster). So no, not only the USA can match that :P

 I was not clear enough that i was referring to Mens team sports & Argentina Mens teams. 

In womens team sports the situation and the competition level is very different

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places. In Beijing we had 7 quotas and used 2      (also I am a very optimistic person in relation to sport in general and always hope for the best. )    Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (2) - Emilija Djurović and Aleksa Tomović Cross Country Skiing  (2) - Anja Ilić (the olympic committee cancelled her participation just before Bejing) and Andrija Tošić Ski Jumping  (0) - Basically not existent in Serbia Nordic Combined  (0) - Basically not existent in Serbia Freestyle Skiing  (0) - Basically not existent in Serbia Snowboarding  (1) - Matija Milenković  Biathlon  (2) - We had two juniors at the YOG 2024, maybe they can get better, I will be optimistic  (Lamija Salihagić and/or Hanna Jelena Braun) Ski Mountaineering  (0) - I don't think it will be existing      Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (0) - Basically not existent in Serbia Short Track Speed Skating  (1) - Out first EYOF winter medal in a long time came from Luka Jašić Figure Skating  (0) - Maybe we will have a good junior come      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Basically not existent in Serbia Skeleton  (1) - We had two juniors at the YOG 2024, maybe they can get better, I will be optimistic Bobsleigh  (0) - Not existent anymore      Team Sports   Curling  (0) - Basically not existent in Serbia Ice Hockey  (0) - Qualifier for women's team cancelled, and mens team eliminated       Total  VERY Optimistic Prediction  -  (9) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (3)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (3)
    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
