Probably it happens something similar to the Central American and Caribbean Games in which, if between the date limit for entries and the technical meeting of the sport/discipline in question, the number of countries/competitors drops under 5, it can still be hosted provided there are 4 nations/competitors. vinipereira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The qualification system states there must be 5 participants from the same number of NOCs or associated members in order for an event to be valid “Sport has the power to change the world.

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted June 1, 2018 #209 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Very few medal events today, but it's an important day for Bolivia. They have their best chance yet to win a gold medal in racquetball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
