Athletics Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

So each country according to the IOC must send at least one female athlete (I am sure they do not care if its just females), so what will they do for the nations with just a male athlete awarded in athletics? For ex. Tuvalu? I don't think they have any athlete capable in any other sport.

What makes you think the IOC thought this through?

 

(My guess is that they will do special IOC invitations like they did for Saudi Arabia in 2012)

So much for their quota limit!! Every part of Agenda 2020 being refuted. What a failure.

The quota limit hurts mid-small size nations anyway. Based on the athlete attendance in the 80s and 90s we should have around 11,500-12,000 athletes with the increased amount of events.

Very true. Speaking on behalf of Greece (I would say we are a mid size nation), we are way better in athletics now than we were in 2012 or 2016, but we will have less athletes because of these quota limits and high entry standards.

Question for experts.

 

How many RUS athlets can make realistically the team in M Hammer Throw, there 3 RUS & 1 ANA athlete in the world ranking qualifying places right now, but I assume only the ANA guy can theoretically compete in Tokyo, pending he will be chosen as one of the 10 ANA athletes ?

There are 3 Russian's and an ANA listed as qualified in the Women's 3000m SC. Surely this cannot be accurate?

    • One has already been approved under the new rules. 
    • There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).

    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
