Looking at the results, the British team have been pretty solid in Rio. Dean Bale missed out on the 10m Rifle final by 1 point, Sam Gowin was 2 points short of the rapid fire pistol final and James Miller was 2 points short of the 10m pistol final.  
 
Will be interesting to see if Gowin can put in a fight for a quota at next month's Europeans. 

Yeah - it seems to be quite common in Judo for nationality switches a. to occur and b. to go through at pace. 

It's a 3 for the price of 1 - spot in the start lists for 50mx3, 10m Rifle, and mixed team event.  Now let's just hope he doesn't fall apart in the final.

No - purely a reference to fact that Ngamba was also in the team who travelled to compete in Finland. There's been no change in her refugee status.

The fact that they are still projecting Gadirova as an individual medalist on floor when she is still in post injury rehab kind of calls into question either their methodology, or their attention to detail when analysing the output of their methodology.  

After a great 2023 when she picked up bronze at World champs and Silver at Europeans,  Anna Shackley (Road Cycling) has been forced to retire due to a heart condition. 
 
Anna Shackley forced to retire aged 22 because of heart condition - BBC Sport

have announced the short list of horse/rider combinations in contention for Olympic selection in show Jumping:
 
World Number 6 - Kent Farrington: Greya , Landon, Myla or Toulayna.
 
World Number 10 - McLain Ward: Callas, Contagious, or Quimi del Maset.
 
World Number 23 - Laura Kraut: Baloutine, Bisquetta or Dorado 212.
 
World Number 30 - Karl Cook: Caracole de la Roque or Kalinka Van't Zorgvliet.
 
World Number 43 - Lillie Keenan: Argan de Beliard or Kick On.
 
World Number 75 - Aaron Vale: Carissimo 25.
 
World Number 86 - Natalie Dean: Acota M.
 
World Number 117 - Jessica Sprinstein:  Don Juan van de Donkhoeve.
 
World Number 127 - Katie Dinan: Out of the Blue SCF.
 
World Number 167 - Callie Schott: Garant
 

No Freya Anderson. You were wrong.
No Kieran Bird. You were wrong.
Team under 30 because of cutbacks, wrong wrong wrong

Can't see scenario where you get a second quota. Poland improved their ranking in Keirin after Milton but it wasn't enough to get into a quota spot and I think because they already have a quota in the event, they would not be eligible for any reallocation. 

Yes they do and I expect them to take Kwesi Browne as their second rider. 
 
 
In order to be eligible for selection the rider has to have gained at least 10 UCI points in a qualifying event - '23 & '24 Nations Cup events, '23 World Champs and '23 and '24 Continental Champs

By my calculation, I think it will go to Egypt - Algeria needed to finish 21st in order to gain enough points to overtake Egypt and they came up just short in 22nd.  

American Continental Championship - Bogota  
 
 
 
Men's Elite:
1.)  Diego Arboleda Ospina
2.)  Federico Villegas
3.)  Santiago Suarez
 
 
Women's Elite:
1.)  Mariana Pajon
2.)  Lexus Colby 
3.)  Daleny Vaughn

I know I am in the minority here, but I'm still not buying into Backstedt making the squad.
 
With Georgi and Henderson locked in for selection (barring injury), Anna Shackley is probably third rider so that only leaves 1 more space and I'm not convinced it will be Backstedt who fills that last place. 

They should be safe for 2 quotas on both the men's and women's side - but it will be tight. 
 
For the men, GB are currently in 7th place but will drop below USA when the points from Mairipora are added in. GB have about 350 point cushion over 9th placed Denmark and 10th placed Brazil so if Aldridge and Orr can have steady results in the next couple of races, then they should be able to do enough to stay ahead of both countries. 
 
Not sure what Pidcock's schedule is for this season, but he has traditionally competed in Nove Mesto towards the end of May - if he does that again this year, then it would definitely make it easier to keep those 2 individual quotas.
 
For the women, it basically comes down to Evie Richards vs Anna Henderson of Australia and at the moment in the head-to-head, Richards comes out on top. GB currently have 500 point cushion and that will increase slightly after this weekend's action is taken into account.
