Sadly I just finished making my calculations... Men's 3m springboard is the only event in which there's an overquota (35) considering divers directly qualified for the individual event and those only competing in synchro. Even I don't think Austrian Blaha might qualify...

Actually you made it... I don't know why your Committee has not publiched anything yet, but she shall be in Rio.

You're right I guess that was the reason behind the rule.

Question 1: B Question 2: A

First of all, I apologize for any offense my post may cause you. I acknowledge it's a little bit written in the moment, so it's entirely my fault. Howeve, even when I didn't see the fight, I read the comments from the national coach. He said that the Azeri boxer gave a good fight and its strategy was good; he said that in the first two rounds judges could have awarded the partial win to any of them. In the end, the local fighter did just enough to avoid any effective punch from its rival (a valid strategy) and in the end, that was the decisive factor. He was never critical of your boxer, but he was upset that this scoring system has some flaws and that ended the Mexican fighter chances.

Mexico I believe the uniforms for the opening wer supossed to be from Ralph Lauren, but it may change.

I think so too, but I'm still trying to count every athlete oficially nominated so far. Fingers crossed for Andrzej RZESZUTEK to compete; he's pretty good.

seleted two athletes: to compete in Rio: Kathy Sealy (heptathlon) and Brandon Jones (Triple Jump). However, there's been some controversy(another article) over the nomination of Sealy. Kaina Martinez was closer to qualifying, winning this years Central American Championships 100m with a time of 11.56 (the closer a Belizean athlete came to making the qualification standard), in addition to help Belize win the 4x100m relay and earning a silver in 200m. On its part Jones won the Triple Jump with a 16.22m attempt (rather good considering the wind was -1.9) In my opinion, Martinez was screwed by its own people, and in case Belizean Committee didn't read qualification rules, Sealy is not eligible to compete in heptathlon under a universality place.

CSV Continental Cup Finals Tournament is being played in the round robin format, with having a 3-0 record and in form to win the quota. In the men's, all appears the spot will be contested by and

You must add to the number of athletes qualified in the individual event (3m springboard, 10m platform) the number of divers that will only compete in the corresponding synchro event ... after that if the number is less than 34 (or a selected athlete is competing in more than one event), then you start to add the reserve divers.

Not really (it was geoblocked), only some comments... it was not an outright robbery, the fight could have been won by one of them, yet I think the local factor was decisive

And as announced Azerbaijan got a complete team... their boxer beat Mexican boxer by three 29:28 scores... what a joke

I'm glad that in the Pan American champions small Caribbean nations are making their debut, like and to name a few... so far, regular, expected results for Mexican competitors; let's see if they can add some medals in team competition.

Finally, live results from PanAmerican Champions

Sad news for Lino Muñoz The stupid people in the Mexican Olympic Committee think that this invitation is akin to a wild card and are thinling of rejecting it. The president of the national badminton fed just requested a clarification for BWF in which they explain his place is due to a reallocation of quotas based on individual rankings. In the end Finland's Ville Lang might get the last available place.

And in the end Mexico will fall one fight short of gaining a spot... Joselito Velasquez will fight a local fighter in -49kg

Well congratulations to Argentina... except a breakdown, this Cup shall go to Messi and company.

Seems like you're really busy... enjoy your trip to Rio

Completely unfair as they modified the qualification criteria after they were published... originally players (including tripartite places) were supossed to compete in at least 3 tournaments to be able to play in Rio.
