Damn, our only theoretical chance for a close match, to not say...win, is gone now

 

how will our federation now justify the financial support when they lost their single eventual pretext ?

As of now the other teams have accepted the quotas so unless a team decides to withdraw the roster is set.

the winner may have a chance to go to tokyo, in 2016, south africa rejected hockey quotas

South Africa officially accepted this quota. Therefore, they can no longer reject it, but only withdraw. I don't believe South Africa ever withdrew one of their quota places.

This official acceptance of the quota, how is that done? A certain letter or form or something? Just curious about the paperwork that makes things official

IFs usually inform NOCs of their earned quota. NOCs then have two weeks to say 'Yes', otherwise the spots get reallocated by default.

Anyone here that has South African citizenship and money to offer to their NOC, this is your chance to be an Olympic athlete

I think it's time for them to just withdraw and let  take their spot in the women's event 

[Makedonas 2,200]

South Africa not withdrawing? It's a big disgrace. Greece deserves to be there. Our girls just won Euro League again with Olympiacos, all players on the roster are Greeks.

 

Sorry if this sounds rude but Australia, China, and Canada being automatically in Tokyo is also a joke. They did not have to swim one metre to earn their spots. Pure luck based on what continents they are from. We always beat them too (especially China and Canada), so I don't want to hear it from any of them. You guys know we are better than you too, so don't even try to say otherwise. These teams don't have chances to win a medal. We do.
