Why in men's we have less athletes (65) than women's (69)

Because there are 5 mixed doubles-only starters among men, while every woman competing in the mixed doubles is already qualified for the singles or team.

Thats unfair that WS will have more competitors than MS....

The total amount of female and male athletes still remain the same. You can imagine it's sprint canoeing. It happens because some athletes attend multiple events so it released some reallocation quotas.

Yeah, I know, but I'm still pissed as Jakub Dyjas here is next our athlete who missed quota by one place/win/second/metre. Its painful for us because it happens too often at these qualifications.

Well, it's an expected by-product of these mixed team nonsense events (not only in table tennis)...

 

Women's events have less depth, so it is more likely their athletes will be able to qualify in both individual and mixed events.

 

Though, saying that, it is also annoying how Canada purposely declined a quota just to inflate their numbers. One quota went wasted right there.
