but not their intercontinental tournament is really stupid

I think FIVB is smart enough to realize that was a mistake and hopefully its gone

end up with six American teams, while Europe dominates volleyball, (sorry for all these missing countries: Germany, Serbia and Bulgaria) 

This quad was unique in that Brazil was hosts, and with FIVB and putting that dumb qualification tournament with 4 teams (that was pure luck). So in 2020 at best 4 will be in Rio.

When Canada was voting, they were probably thinking: "Hmm, Raonic is our best tennis player, he has some Serbian connections, Romania is a big neighbour of Serbia so let's give Romania 12 points, 11 to Portugal because they're second letter is an "o" as well and Lithuania 10 points because it ends with "a" like Canada."

Maybe

Another Semenya Show coming up in Rome...

Essentially this is doping naturally... The CAS made the incorrect decision overturning the IAAF's rulig

Quick question:

If for some reason a spot becomes available in the men's c1 1000 (for ex. Brazil uses only 2 athlete quotas across the 3 it has), does that mean the spot is reallocated to the 9th place boat in the men's c1 1000 (Mark Oldershaw - CAN). If so what happens to the continental quota he earned? Would it be reallocated to Canada regardless? I ask because if Oldershaw got the quota from the worlds, he would not have competed at the continental qualifiers, meaning Canada would have won a quota in the c1 200m. What a mess!

Why not T20 cricket in Olympics?

Interest in enough countries:
India

Sri Lanka
Pakistan
Australia
New Zealand
South Africa
Afghanistan

UK

LOTS of Caribbean countries

 

There could be 12, 16, etc teams
There could be UK team comprised of mostly England players

West Indies could have independent teams (like in Caribbean Premier League e.g. St. Lucia Zouks, Barbados Tridents)
Already played at 2010 and 2014 Asian Games

Could help tap cricket into key markets i.e. US, China as there is more chance of them watching if it is in the Olympics, a bit like sports such as shooting or archery.

Because its not popular

According to this Togo received wild cards for men's 200m and women's 100m in athletics.

To add more confusion... Athletics quotas are not considered as wildcards by the ioc (along with swimming)

No need for that now is there  

 

I wish we even had a chance in this sport, but our NOC didn't even bother to make some standards because nobody would ever get close enough  

Sarcasm ofc

Not a final list, it's still unofficial. ISSF makes rules on the system, not me, so the federation has the right to make some updates and some NOCs have not selected their shooters yet. It's not a magic trick. The final list will only be released, when ISSF has already published its own page for Rio 2016 and the Rio 2016 entries have become available on the website. 

Okay.

But what I don't understand is,, how you interpreted those 4 nations as having to give back one quota each.

3 minutes ago, MantaRaymarc said:

Yes, they got 2 wildcards, but the NOCs must choose only one of them to compete at the Games. Then, the unused quota places will be returned to ISSF again for reallocation. 

No they don't need to return it. This is the final list, idk how you came up with that rule?

Unfair considering we had countries like Moldova wanting a spot.
