selected its three women for the Games: Morghan King (48kg), Jenny Arthur (75kg) and Sarah Robles (75+ kg)

Yes, IAA's period goes so far, but Mexican federation has its own criteria and choose June 5th as the deadline to achieve the mark.

2013 Bronze Medalist Luis Rivera fell short of the required distance by just one centimeter , now he only have 3 weeks to achieve that mark.

As long as they post the results on time, I don't mind the rest

Start lists for Pan American Championships & Qualification I'll dare to post my predictions, but I hope any other user (especially the Canadians) can give some more insight: Men C2: For me, it will be the spot should go either to Cuba or Mexico, since we are sending our best rowers in this boat, but I can count out the Canadians. Men K1 1000m: It will be shock if Van Koeverden does not get the place, Men C1 1000m: I doubt Oldershaw can lose this race. Women K1 500m: With Canada out of contention for this particular quota, Argentina and USA should go for it. Men K2 1000m: Cuba is the favorite, but Mexico or Argentina have slim chances to spoil it. Women K2 500m: This is the only event in which I see Mexico as the top contender, but they should watch for Canada. Men C1 200m: If Cuba and Canada secure quotas in the other two events, then this could be USA best option to have a competitor in Rio. Women K1 200m: An open race, but I'll go with Venezuela. Men K1 200m: Canada, Argentina and Ecuador can't go for the quota, and this event could go either way, the main contenders are Cuba, Brazil and USA. Men K2 200m: As Cuba shall obtain the place in 1000m, then this contest will be between Canada and Argentina.

Another place for Mexico, Ricardo Vargas in 1500m Free 15:14.18 in Charlotte, today. Now we have 3 directly qualified athletes, instead of 1 like in London.

Olympic rankings have been published. You can take the quotas as mostly definite, as the only remaining event is World Masters in two weeks, in which only the top 16 in World Ranking (not Olympic) participate along with one participant from host country (Mexico), and since a top 16 in World Ranking is likely already qualified and most Mexican judokas need to finish in the podium to grab the last direct place in qualification.

Mexico will have a second athlete in Men's 200m - Cesar Ramirez 20.50 seconds

So here's provisional quota, prior to confirmation by NOC's Men's Individual Continental Qualification Events: World Qualification Event: Olympic Qualification List: Points List: Reallocations: - this place will be awarded only if one of the tripartite places is not allocated. First reserve is but there are already 8 NOC's with three qualified athletes, so Canada will only get it if one of those committees does not confirm their 3rd place. NOC's eligible for tripartite: NOC's already securing 3 places (maximum 8 NOC's): Women's Individual Continental Qualification Events: World Qualification Event: Olympic Qualification List: Points List: - If Sweden gets one of the reallocations, takes its place. Reallocations: NOC's eligible for tripartite: None, they'll be likely reallocated. NOC's already securing 3 places (maximum 8 NOC's): and if ITU confirms the reallocated place.

You're right, this is pure media gossip... poor girl, I hope people could understand is not entirely her fault. Right now I'm still trying to figuring out the outcome of the diving soap opera in Mexico... it seems they will do another "check up round"; not to mention the bitterness that will ensue the selection in Men's 20km race walk and the possible exclussion of our hammer thrower.

One of the first Olympic "soap operas" that will reveal how is not always simple about being fair regarding National selections.

I made a small sim of Triathlon qualification; if my math is not wrong (I've forgot a lot since High School ), here's what it looks like before the last two events (one World Series and one Continental Cup, that only counts for points list) Men's Individual Continental Qualification Events (if not accepted, quota goes to Olympic Qualification List): Africa rejected the spot. America Asia Europe Oceania World Qualification Event (if not accepted, quota goes to Olympic Qualification List): Olympic Qualification List: - entirely qualified up to second French quota on this list; other places and quotas might change. Points List - Open to the best unqualified NOC from each continent (if not accepted quota goes to next eligible NOC on Point List): Africa - this quota will only be awarded if its competitor in the World Series finishes in 26th place or above; no other NOC from this continent is eligible and the place will go to Olympic Qualification List. America - if it advances through qualification list, the first reserve is Asia - if it rejects the quota, it goes to Europe - If it gets the spot via qualification list, the quota goes to Oceania - No country is eligible, so the spot is reallocated to qualification list Host country quota (reallocation): Other reallocations: NOC's fulfilling conditions for tripartite Invitation (up to 2 places): - probably only one place will be used as Barbados is almost sure to grab the spot from the Points List NOC's already securing 3 places (maximum 8 NOC's): - other countries that can secure a maximum 3 quotas are and Women's Individual Continental Qualification Events (if not accepted, quota goes to Olympic Qualification List): Africa rejected the spot. America Asia Europe Oceania World Qualification Event (if not accepted, quota goes to Olympic Qualification List): Olympic Qualification List: - entirely qualified up to first Hungarian quota on this list; other places and quotas might change. Points List - Open to the best unqualified NOC from each continent (if not accepted quota goes to next eligible NOC on Point List): Africa - if the quota is rejected no other NOC from this continent is eligible and the place will go to Olympic Qualification List. America - this place will be defined in the continental cup event; to secure the quota Romina Palacio must finish first or second and also two places above Elizabeth Bravo of ; other results might see the later NOC qualified. Asia - if it rejects the quota, it goes to Europe - If not used, the quota goes to Oceania - No country is eligible, so the spot is reallocated to qualification list Host country quota (reallocation): Other reallocations: NOC's fulfilling conditions for tripartite Invitation (up to 2 places): None, so if ITU confirms this, another two spots from qualification list will be awarded. NOC's already securing 3 places (maximum 8 NOC's): - other countries that can secure a maximum 3 quotas are and

In my opinion this was their best chance to qualify, the chances of making it through a mostly European field will be difficult.

In men's the quota go to Mexico, El Salvador and Chile

The Dominican Republic upset Cuba in women's and joins Canada and Venezuela in women's... she still has to obtain the MQS though...

No, only top 3 individuals from different NOC's

Well my name's not Marvin, but you're welcome

Canada and Venezuela secured one quota in women's... the other will be contested between Cuba and the Dominican Republic

Here are live results

According to the entry list for the American qualification this week, 12 NOC's in men's andn 7 in women's will try to obtain one of three quotas. In men's I think the places will go to Cuba, Mexico and Chile, and to Venezuela, Cuba and Canada in women's.

I just saw the results from the African qualification... The winner of women's 48kg (that is Mauritius) actually lifted 17 more kilograms that the winner in women's 53 (Tunisia)

i take Diving, and if anyone else choose them, I could take either Tae Kwon Do or Beach Volleyball.

Start Book has been published in IWF site. Very few entries, with one event having only 3; I think the quotas are almost defined as only 7 countries will have 6 or more competitors in Men's, one of them being DR Congo, whose every entry is listed as 55kg In the women's competition it seems Cameroon, Nigeria and Tunisia will take the first 3 positions, with the last spot open to competition.
