Sorry it is listed as another name on FINA's website, which is why the confusion arose in the first place.

Some changes from 2014 (besides the biathlon one listed above) -Freestyle skiing max quota per nation has increased to 30 from 26, meaning we will see less countries taking part in the sport in 2018 -Ski jumping: 5 more women quotas, 5 less men quotas -Snowboarding: max quota per nation has increased to 26 from 24; overall sport quota has increased by 6

Antigua has a small chance in the 4x100 relay

Canada should beat both France/Slovakia. Then a battle vs Romania for second.

Canada beats Russia 7-6!!!

Who made you in charge?

Probably if the same referees are there, if not then probably not.

Shamsadin was in the Belgium tie last year. How many does he need in total?

Wow!

One goal again

I am surprised to see Tejada of Peru competing. She was caught for doping at the Pan Am Games last summer...

For all the tennis experts, does Daniel Nestor have a chance to qualify for Rio? Keep in mind Raonic and Pospisil are confirmed to be a doubles team and Nestor will need an alternative partner.

Aruba and Cape Verde in Taekwondo

The Roon Ba ‏@TheRoonBa Feb 17 #Curling: QATAR will make their international début on 17th April against Wales in the World Mixed Doubles Championship in Karlstad, Sweden

Toronto's former mayor Rob Ford has died.

Neeraj Chopra is currently in quaification position. If any athlete passes hos.throw behind him then he is out.

Its sad to see such a peaceful and tolerant country being taken advantage by the same cowards it allowed in. Rip to all the dead.

What happened?

Remove synchro and make it 12 teams But I think in 2020 we will see 12 teams with Agenda 2020

It appears the 2018 Olympics has a chance to have some exotic countries such as Colombia, Spain and India competing (all three have at least one athlete who has met the standard from Sochi).

Here is my simulated team size. Archery: 3 (all men. The men finished with silver at the test event, and looks like they have improved quite a bit, atp its a toss up if they all qualify). Athletics: 61 (more can qualify). Badminton: 4 (men's and women's singles + one doubles event, from a continental reallocation). Basketball: 24 (men's and women's teams. Hopefully the men can qualify). Beach volleyball: 8 (2 men's and women's pairs) Boxing: 3 (don't think any will qualify in the world tournaments). Canoeing: 8; 2 in slalom and 6 in flatwater (4 in men's kayak, 1 in canoeing and 1 in women's kayak; Oldershaw or the C2 cannot qualify do to quota rules). Cycling: 18; 6 in road cycling, 1 in bmx, 4 in mountain biking and 7 or 8 in track (depends on if Beveridge competes in the team pursuit) Diving: 8 (4 men and 4 women) Equestrian: 10 (qualification is complete). Fencing: 6 (one in each individual event) Field hockey: 16 (men's team) Football: 18 (women's team) Golf: 4 (2 in each gender currently in qualification position, this is the maximum team size) Gymnastics: 8; 6 in artistic (women's team and one man), 2 in trampoline (one in each event) Judo: 7 (currently 7 in qualification position; unlikely any other athletes move up into a qualification spot)/ Modern pentathlon: 2 (both women, one is qualified already, the other will qualify through the rankings as she is 5th) Rowing: 30 (currently 22 qualified in 6 events.The men's and women's quad sculls should qualify at the worlds, as only one both per gender can qualify at that event). Rugby sevens: 24 (men's and women's tournament, hopefully the men qualify) Sailing: 13 (13 qualified in 9 events) Shooting: 2 (both women) Swimming: 24 (same as the worlds) Synchro: 2 (duet) Table tennis: 2 (one man and one woman, the men's team is unlikely to qualify) Taekwondo: 1 (qualification is over) Tennis: 5 (Raonic, Nestor, Pospisil, Shamsadin and Bouchard) Triathlon: 5 (5 currently in qualification position; 2 men and 3 women) Volleyball: 12 (men's team) Water polo: 12 (men's team, this might be a stretch but the draw is favourable for Canada at the final tournament). Weightlifting: 2 (one man and one woman) Wrestling: 9 (7 are already qualified, I expect Garcia and Gill to qualify at the worlds, though it will be tough) Total: 351

I hit refresh and it worked.

No Heywoodu is responding to what I posted. Fisa is proposing countries can compete only 10 to 12 events mpving forward. Fisa has also proposed dropping one of the fours events for men and adding a women's event

Canada's men's eights in rowing Mark Oldershaw and Adam van Koeverden have yet to qualify in canoeing/kayaking. Christine Giriard is still competing but with only one spot doesn't look like she will make the team.
