I'm not sure she will compete in Lima, unless someone gets injured, but I hope she gets top form for World Championships.

I'd still say it will be Brazil, Canada and USA in the podium... they are ahead of the rest, even if they don't bring out their best. Colombia and Cuba rely too much on a single gymnast, which in both cases will be absent, and the other teams are not on the same level. Same for the women... the only other team that could challenge those three if any have a bad day is Mexico, but without Moreno, that will be really hard to get even close.

Thanks

I count only 47 places, so who got the missing quota?

NICARAGUA 60 competitors, 41 men & 19 women (01 AT | 24 BS | 04 BV | 02 BB | 09 BX | 01 JU | 03 KA | 04 RO | 03 SH | 04 SW | 02 TK | 02 WL | 01 WR) Flagbearer: Jorge VEGA - Artistic Gymnastics This is the official statement from the NOC @vinipereira, sorry for the previous list. The only difference is they will only have one woman in athletics.

Exactly... the way World Rugby enacted this rule is a direct ban to Mexico or any other "minor" team of that region (not that I think they deserve a free pass to Tokyo), and should be compelled to write a better document for the next cycle. Something like: "If the continental qualifier is not within top 20 in the world Rubgy Sevens' rankings, then an extra quota will be given at the World Qualification Event"

As Monzanator said, this is not a B team, but the new coach choose to call some new players, who in turn seem to be responding. I quite like Martino and I hope he improves the level, and puts some discipline on this group. Leaving Hernandez, Vela & G. Dos Santos out was the right move as they had too much power and were only interested in partying & hiring prostitutes at every city they played.

Rodriguez from Mexico .02 from achieving "A" standard in women's 200m breast at least she's in the front row to receive an invitation.

Well, I'm pretty sure Campuzano is in, as she's a main contender, especially after USA will select only one competitor.

Manrique Larduet is out of the games due to wrist injury... this should open the field in Men's AA

The quota gets reallocated according to this: First, to any other eligible NOC at the Pan Am Games (also applying to European and Asian Games) that has an archer in the top 4. Here i think USA archers (already qualified) plus Dueñas will finish in the podium, yet any of the other countries have an archer capable of reaching semis. And only if there isn't a NOC fulfilling conditions above, then it gets added to FQT individual places.

After the quotas in men's recurve have been awarded, I think the following is possible. & have good chances of being one of the 3 teams advancing in the FQT, so probably those two spots will get added to the individual quotas of the FQT. gets the individual spot at the Pan Am Games, but will be also a contender for a team spot, in which case & could get that spot.

The separate OQT would be only in the women's event, as 4 nations eligible for an individual spot at the Olympics tied for 9th position in the "regular" Championships ( ) That was not the case for the men's, though

And first time in history, I believe, a competitor from Bangladesh is going to fight for a medal in an Olympic sport World Championships

@thiago_simoes and everyone who has interest, this year's Panamerican Junior Rhythmic Gymnastics championships can be watched here, starting tomorrow

Men's World Championship to be streamed on WBSC's Youtube Channel, starting tomorrow

In principle, it will be reallocated to the next best ranked not qualified NOC among those that end in the first four places, on condition it has and archer in ech gender that ahs reached MQS.

Only if their archers reach MQS from this date until the Final Qualification tournament.

Mexican Diving Team Men's Springboard (1m, 3m & 3m Synchro): Paola Espinosa & Dolores Hernández Men's Platform (10m & 10m Synchro): Gabriela Agúndez & Alejandra Orozco Women's Springboard (1m, 3m & 3m Synchro): Yahel Castillo & Juan Celaya Women's Platform (10m & 10m Synchro): Kevin Berlín & Iván García So congratulations Canada, it seems that you will practically clear this discipline, the exception being Men's 10m where depending on USA's selection, might go to them. The selection has not been drama free though; it all started at the beggining of this year, when the federation decided to award Castillo & Celaya a spot in the last two stages of Diving World Series instead of the more solid pairing of Pacheco & Ocampo in 3m synchro, which automatically generated a lot of animosity between both pairs. Then in May, the rest of Pacheco & Ocampo's teammates (Ma Jin's team for short) decided to skip their appearance in that last stages, which prompted a strong condemnation from the National Federation. Last week, at the qualifications, Celaya & Castillo won the synchro competition by a few points, while they were way behind Pacheco & Ocampo in the individual events. As per the qualification process for the games and the selection rules that were submitted last year to Mexico's NOC, the Swimming federation had to evaluate not only the results of that competition, but also the level shown in international competition in order to select the athletes that would be in Lima. Despite that, I'm of the opinion they grossly ignored their own directives, and therefore, they might have a case in which they could appeal. However, things look bleak for Pacheco and Ocampo, since the latter took on twitter directly addressing the National Sports Comission director, former Olympic medalist and World Champion Ana Guevara, who felt "threatened" by a strong and direct message and now has colluded with the federation to try to silence them or else, she will stop the already scarce public funding, which was recently reduced from $250 USD monthly per athlete, to only $100 USD

Yes, this team finally have 6-7 riders that have enough level to do a good try to qualify at the Pan Am Games

And finally, Mexican jumping team riders has been selected, but the horses haven't been revealed Enrique González DelgadoEugenio Garza PérezLorenza O'Farrill Toscano Patricio Pasquel Quintana Reserve: Salvador Oñate Barrón I think we have a decent shot to qualify for Tokyo after disaster 4 years ago.

Well I think is the wisest decision.

@dcro Mexico's team in eventing has been named. Pedro Gutierrez Aja and California Mail Guillermo German De Campo Martinez and Quelite Abraham Gaspar Ojeda Serrano and Tamara Jose Alan Triana Martinez and Violento Reserve: Fernando Parroquin Delfin and Romana No Daniela Moguel so I guess there goes their chance to end in the podium, right?

USA upsets Japan and ends advancing directly to semifinals, while Japan faces Poland in quarterfinals.

What do you think about this team? Could they qualify a rider into the last stage?
