@MagyarBabu and day 16 from you, i am very interested in your M water polo predictions...

Terrible referees of the final, 2 goals were annulled with many doubts..........

qualifies after a 2-1 win over
 
 

Interesting New York marathon with the women starting 25 minutes before the men, but  Tola finishing in 2:04:59 was only shortly after the top 3 women with  Obiri winning the women's race in 2:27:23.
 
The women were consistently running at a 2:30:00+ pace for more than 35km, where the men's race was hard right from the start.

Teams qualfied to OQTs (ordered by world ranking):  
 



 
 

Here are the medal standings if you only include Olympic events. Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Chile take the biggest hit of the top 10 nations. Cuba ends up passing Colombia while Canad passes Mexico in the overall rankings. Further down, Costa Rica, Aruba and El Salvador also take big hits. Barbados, Bolivia, and Nicaragua lose all of their medals.
