Again so close to grab one more quota... poor Alma Valencia

Just to clarify, it should be Thailand in Men's Pairs and Russia in Mixed Pairs the NOC's that shall benefit from the rejection on continental places for Australia. In the case the Thai pair advance, one of their athletes is already qualified, so that would add one more spot in men's singles. Also, I don't know if USA place in women's doubles should be counted as continental as they actually secured their spot without taking a place from other elegible pair... let's see what BWF has to say in two weeks...

Thanks for your answer. I hope he goes out like in his two first fights in Mongolia... he really seemed determined to go to Rio.

Do you think Escobar (-75) has a slight chance?

Besides Sri Lanka, I think Suriname is also a good candidate for a spot in men's

Here's a provisional list of the qualification places Men's Singles World Ranking list: Africa Continental quota: According to its qualification rules, South Africa will reject the continental quota; gets this place if no triparte place is given to a NOC from Africa, are the countries that satisfy the IF requirements to be awarded that place. Oceania Continental quota: Australia can only select two of its continental quotas; if this event is not selected, quota goes to , which does not accept reallocated places. As no other NOC from Oceania fulfills the requirements for participation, this place will be reallocated to World Ranking list. Host country quota (reallocation): World Ranking (reallocation): ; currently there are up to three spots up to be awarded to singles competition, given that each NOC chooses their first and/or second ranked athletes in the other events of the same gender. NOC's fulfilling conditions for tripartite Invitation (up to 3 places): (plus the African countries mentioned above) Women's Singles World Ranking list: Africa Continental quota: ; gets this place if no triparte place is given to a NOC from Africa, are the countries that satisfy the IF requirements to be awarded that place.

As no other NOC from Oceania fulfills the requirements for participation, this place will be reallocated to World Ranking list.

I know, this is stupid, but they have done for almost all events. In men's 100m for example the difference is just .02 seconds Here's the selection criteria This stupid rule almost also prevents the current record holder in men's hammer throw (a 22 years old who has break 4 times the national record since last year) to be formally selected to compete.

Sadly Margarita Hernandez and Marisol Romero will not be selected as part of the Mexican to the Olympics, unless they manage to run under 32:09.00

I made my calculations (considering the results up to the Asian And European Championships quarterfinals) and this is how the final ranking (before further reallocation) could look like World Ranking List - up to 34 places - Reallocation of Host Country quota - 1 place - If no tripartite quotas are awarded to NOC's from Africa or Oceania: & replace &

If I'm correct Australia will need to reallocate 1 continental quota (they hold it both singles events plus XD) and USA in 1 event (they have the ticket in all 3 doubles events), which result in Canada receiving an extra 2 athletes; plus South Africa will probably reject the continental spot in men's singles, leaving the ticket to Uganda.

Great news! I was doing some research and reading some news, and I found that Sao Tome & Principe Olympic Committee had attributed the place in Men's C1 1000m to its competitor. Doing some research I actually found that no competitor from Senegal did start in the 2015 World Championships, and therefore, that would make their NOC inelegible for the quota.

Mexico (First Nomination) Men's Marathon: Ricardo Ramos Vargas (2:14.58) - just 2 seconds under the federation's required time of 2:15:00 Women's Marathon: Madai Perez Carrillo, Margarita Hernandez Flores, Vianey De la Rosa Rojas, Next nomination will be for the 50km Race Walk, at the end of the World Cup in Rome (May 7th-8th). The last cut will be on June 5 after the national trials. In other news, Diego del Real improved the Mexican record in hammer throw to 77.49 meters; even so, national federation ask for 78.00 meters, so he's not oficially qualified yet

After failing to get selected to the Mexican team, bronze medalist in women's 3m Springboard, Laura Sanchez announced her retirement today

Oh Jin Hyek, Olympic champion in individual archery didn't make the South Korean squad.

South Korea named the teams that will compete in Rio.

Indeed, that what the original document said... but it seems that World Rowing changed the criteria at the time around this event and the new version of the document reallcoates the host quotas to the Latin America regatta.

I think for France to qualify, it needs there is no tripartite invitation plus a qualified NOC rejecting its place.

1st choice: Belize 2nd choice: Sao Tome and Principe 3rd choice: Oman

is qualified too, since the host country place will be allocated to the men's competition.

Congratulations!! Now you can finally get some sleep

No, she retired from competition

France needs 54.200 in uneven bars total to secure team quota,,, Jamaica almost qualified, just a 10.500 in vault, Ireland a 12.800, so only tragedy could prevent those two of reaching Rio

Alejandra Teran gets the quota in women's epee I'm so glad, Mexico is going to compete in 5 of 6 individual events, plus team sabre

After her top girl defected to the Netherlands, Iceland is competing with a girl with a Russian name

It seems they have technical problems...
