I wonder if Mozambique was invited just to give this event some kind of legitimacy. :lol:

 

To be fair Angola was the only African boat to compete in the men's 470 at the last couple of World Championships. This saved them the cost of sending a boat to Italy to claim the quota plus they get to send a female boat too :p

I just wish these "free" continental quotas will be limited in the future, like establishing that the only will be awarded if three or more members from a continent with a current ranking compete in it.

Yes this I’m fine with, but every continent should have a competitor in every sport. In fact, part of my complete overhaul of the Olympic qualification system I’m working on involves getting great participation from developing nations.

I agree each event should have a continent from every continent; however, with so few quotas it's unfair that they get a free pass just because there are no other competitors in their area.

Fair point. It makes a case that a sport might not deserve a chance but place in the Olympics then...
