Cross posting this here for those who may be interested
With qualification wrapping up in most sports, I wanted to see the team size difference for vs 2020 (for team sports, I went with the 'normal' size in 2020, instead of the covid increase). I also did not include sports which are not on the Paris program (or were not on the Tokyo program, like Breaking). For the sports not done yet, I have estimated the team size.
