Olympic Qualification Ranking as of 15 June 2021

So can we presume the ranking is final now and we can speculate the seeding (even with multiple players in top8/16 we can guess who will be chosen)?

Yes you're right! The seeding for singles and doubles are basically sealed at this point.

Rip missing out on a quota by one spot.

How is is possible, are not only 34 players qualified for the singles ?

They may get it. Wouldn't be surprised if Sweden decline Burestedt's spot

Double starters are in the tournament software ranking. It has the top 40 scheduled to play.

Why would they decline? Tough qualification standard?

5 male doubles players are also qualified in mixed doubles. + unused host quota. makes it 40 instead of 34

 

@intoronto he is the 3rd reserve, he is next after NZL but only because NZL is getting the Oceania quota. some players above him are also eligible to qualify. NGR and POL. but the Nigeria guy will qualify in men's doubles. so Sri Lanka is in fact the 2nd reserve.

I am not sure... the tournament software ranking is different and labeled as of May 11 2021.

oh yes . I was looking at the wrong ranking.  he is the 1st reserve

 

and based on previous experiences, we always have at least one or two withdrawals in badminton. even more sometimes. some countries have their own standards.
