not in the sport itself (unless you're so idiot to shoot your own foot or so)...

 

but there's always the chance you get sick/injured outside the shooting range, like it happens to all human beings...gotta take this into consideration if you are leading a professional/top level activity...you can't be surprised if something normally unexpected happens...

 

That's being rather pessimistic though.

 

Like saying: "Athlete X is destined to become an Olympian, that is, if he doesn't get hit by a car."

Thanks everyone for your comments, which makes it clear now, at least as far as GBR is concerned. I agree this is unlikely but not impossible. I was mainly curious as it does potentially have a ripple effect on those that missed out on quotas because of Seonaid’s qualification.

Since we now know which nations are eligible to receive a tripartite invitations I decide to take a closer look.

 

Currently 18 eligible nations have at least one shooter that has reached the MQS, including Kuwait which has already qualified quotas. Given that there are 24 quotas, it is likely we will seem some of them reallocated, though as Bolivia showed in 2016 nations could be given multiple tripartite quotas.

 

One big difference relative to 2016 is that there is now a fixed quota for each event (2 per event) whereas 2016 the quotas could be spread however they pleased. This has a huge impact on the competition for the quotas. Overall the 10m events have the most competition with women's 10m air rifle having 11 eligible nations, including 3 nations (Andorra, Bhutan and Nepal) having their only MQS mark in this event meaning we can't even have all 18 nations entered. On the flip side both the men's 25m rapid fire pistol and men's skeet have two eligible nations (OMA/PAK and MLT/PAK respectively).

 

Oman has the most options with eligible athletes in all events except the men's skeet. They also have an athletes with a MQS that's in the top two in five events, one more than Malta, Pakistan and Kuwait (ignoring events they have already qualified in). Of course, the quota doesn't necessarily go to the best tripartite nation as they take into account universality and how quotas in other sports are given out. This is why Bhutan is likely to be given the shooting quota despite being the second weakest nation in the women's 10m air rifle.

I didn't realize that nations can only win a single quota (this is changed from 2016). So remove Kuwait, Pakistan and San Marino from the list

I've got Rifle/Pistol noted on 17-28 May - was there some change?

Question about the ranking. the document says

 

The highest ranked athlete not yet qualified in any event and provided that the athlete’s NOC does not have a quota place in that specific event, then theathlete will obtain one (1) quota place. These quota places are allocated to the athletes by name.

 

Does it mean if a NOC qualifies one shooter in an event, that's not possible for them to receive a second quota through ranking ?
