    Kuwait has already one fencer qualified in sabre, will they still be considered in epee/foil? I guess having no women competing lower their chances. 

    Also, will participation in the Zonal QT be taken into account? :ISV for example has a decently placed woman in epee but haven't entered her so far for the tournament, while they did enter a couple fencers in other weapons.

     

    I forgot Kuwait already got a quota. I was thinking men's sabre for them.

     

    There's no participation requirements for tripartite athletes in fencing. In other sports, I've seen nations which did not participate at all get tripartite quotas.

    I would have thought Morocco :MAR would place better with more gold than 9.

     

    Also, Egypt :EGY first time a nation wins 100+ gold medals in one edition. Impressive!

    Historically, Morocco has not had a good relationship with the African Games due to its stance on Western Sahara. It was only in 2019 that they were allowed to return.

    With the quota today Samoa will have a squad of over 20 for the first time.

     

    16 already qualified+ 2 swimming+ 1 athletics + 2 weightlifting. Could be a few more 

    There's a good chance Samoa may not be eligible for a tripartite quota next Olympics. Team sport quotas don't count, but individual wise they are up to four and along with the five quotas you listed, they will also likely get a spot in judo and maybe in taekwondo.

     

    With that said, they haven't made use of tripartite quotas in a long time so it's not a big loss.

    a last minute takedown to win the second quota for Guam :)

     

    I think they are in the same weight, but one of them had to make the sacrifice and go to the next weight. it was the other way around in Tokyo , this time it worked for both of them

    I think Rckaela is the better wrestler and with no Nigerian in this event it was seen as the best option to maximize their chances. Lucky for Mia, she also avoided Nigeria and now both get to compete at the Olympics

  5. She's 65 points away from the top 400, plus whatever she needs to defend. Tough, but doable if she gets some traveling funding. She would probably need a few semi or better performances at the W35 / W50 events.

    Two examples where you would never qualify without continental quotas: taekwondo and volleyball (w). Probably you would still make 20 (just a guess) but still it means you are represented in maybe up to 8 sports where you don’t deserve to be. Even 1 sport is too much. 

     

    edit: taekwondo was wrong, forgot about Skylar. 
     

    Women's volleyball is another bad example. Even with continental spots the women have not qualified unless Canada or the United States were host. Funny, enough 2024 is our best chance in a long time and if we qualify it won't be because of a continental spot.

     

    After a more in-depth search, I believe only football and shooting would be missed. 26/32 sports is still more than most nations.
