Universality update -

 

Some nations are still missing, so I’d say universality allocation is an ongoing process still.

 

 

 and some more at missing still.

They can’t surely add them after next weekend.? Athletes will be trying their utmost to earn ranking points and then to find the lose a spot after all events are over? That would not be fair. 
Also some countries won’t bother nominating anybody in Athletics 

[Oldira 88]

Are the refugee team part of the event quotas or are they extra spots?

[Benolympique 2,398]

in athletics there are no longer 2 quotas: 1 man and 1 woman for small nations?

They give new quotas today:

 

Men's 100m  

Women's 100m  (Also, apparently women's universiality quotas in 100m dont take out athletes from ranking place)

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.
