Can I applaud you for not pointing out the obvious flaw in the previous poster's attempt to spread yet more misery and misinformation to the group. The "vertical jumps" that they seem to think will be bereft of British participation are actually in pretty rude health given that's the pole vault and high jump.

Sorry - I misunderstood what you were asking.
 
The wording of the qualification process has changed since Tokyo. For Tokyo, the general rule for qualifying via continental qualifier was an NOC could only qualify 1 boat with the exception of NOCs who had not qualified any boats at the previous world champs who could qualify 2 boats if they both won their events:
 

For Paris, the situation is different - NOCs who did not qualify any boats at last year's world champs could qualify 2 boats at the continental qualifier and it did not matter where they finished so for example, Iran qualified in both the women's single sculls and women's lightweight double sculls at the Asian qualifier by finishing 3rd and 2nd respectively.
 
For NOCs that qualified 1 boat at the World Champs, then the only way they can qualify 2 further boats at the continental qualifier is by having both of the boats finishing 1st. 
 

This qualifier is limited to nations who had only qualified 1 boat at the World Champs last year so GB (and most of the main European nations) aren't eligible to compete and will look to get further boats qualified at the last chance regatta next month. 

Connor Bainbridge secures the quota in men's kite and completes full sailing squad for Team GB in Paris.

Assuming it's the same structure as last year's worlds, then the top 2 sailors at the end of the opening series of 20 races will go directly through to the final.
 
Sailors ranked 3-10 progress to the semi-finals with the top ranked sailor in each semi-final starting with 2 wins, the 2nd ranked sailor starting with 1 win. The other 2 sailors start from 0. The first sailor to get to 3 wins advances to the final so it is unlikely that they would need all 8 races. 
 
In the final, the same structure applies - the sailor who topped the opening series starts the final with 2 wins, the sailor who finished 2nd has 1 win and the qualifiers from the semi-final start with 0. The first to 3 takes gold.

April State of Play 
 
Women's 100m
With April coming to an end, we've now seen the vast majority of GB sprinters start their outdoor season and there has been plenty of positives. In the absence of Asher-Smith and Nieta, Imani Lansiquot leads the British rankings with her 11.02 in Florida this weekend. Amy Hunt's strong indoor form seems to have carried over into the outdoor season as she records a new PB 11.12 in Florida. 
 

 
Men's 100m
In contrast to the women, we haven't seen the main GB contenders take to the outdoor track. Jeremiah Azu has come closest to getting the Olympic qualifying standard when he clocked 10.00 at the Kip Keino Classic. Unfortunately, the wind was +2.2m/s. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey tops the times so far this year with a 10.17 and behind him, there have been PBs for John Otugade, Jona Efoloko and Ade Adewale.

Great run at London Marathon for Emilie Caress who becomes the 2nd fastest Brit ever with a 2:06.46 and will undoubtedly confirm his place in GB squad for Paris at tomorrow's selectors meeting (still don't know why he wasn't selected at the first meeting).
 
Joining him on the squad should be Mahamed Mahamed after he clocked 2:07.05. 
 
Rose Harvey likely favourite to get the nod for the final spot on the women's squad.
