I suspect cost (airfare has really gone up in the last year) + weird timing is at play here.

It makes no sense, id assume they declined? I would assume CONATIRO would have offered the unused spots to all NOC's?

Final shooting quotas only country not to qualify that got an extra quota. 238/244 quotas used 26 24 18 17 each 15 each 14 each 9 each 7 6 each 5 each 4 3 2 each 1

Samantha Smith retired.

3 countries did not enter in track and field. Any guesses on which ones? My guess: Suriname, Aruba and perhaps Haiti

becomes the third nation who didn't medal in 2018 to medal here.

Connor Howe with a 1.42,34 in the 1,500 this early in the season (granted its was in Calgary, but should bode well for the upcoming season).

declined one of its sailing wildcards receives the reallocated spot

also guaranteed a medal (women's cricket) meaning 2 nations that didn't medal in 2018 will do so here.

with its first medal in 21 years and its best ever result!

Any live stream for rugby?

The first 2 have athletes trying to qualify for Gangwon 2024.

https://olympic.ca/press/canadas-santiago-2023-shooting-team-announced/ Shooting team, only 14 athletes, the smallest shooting team I can remember for a PAG. All the top names are there except Michele Esercitato, who is the alternate (only one male pistol quota was earned). In fact his score is better than Ozer's so not sure how this makes sense. 8 out of the 9 top ranked shooters in Canada made the team.

declined 2 shooting quotas

Badminton:https://olympic.ca/press/ten-talented-canadian-badminton-players-named-to-santiago-2023-team/ No Michelle Li!

Not 100% on this but I have heard FIBA is not supporting the basketball event (not sure why). Perhaps why both Canada and the USA withdrew. Which would also imply they did not enter the 3x3 events as well

6 in men's and 5 for women.

Looks like no reallocations in AG, so sadly no Brazil declined a spot in men's trampoline, reallocated to

No relay teams for Canada as well.

https://athletics.ca/blog/2023/09/21/canadas-santiago-2023-athletics-team-announced/ Track team. A B team with 3 standout names. Sadly not in season for many.

She injured her ankle in the first match of the event

Sadly the eights is gone from the Pan Ams (at least in the traditional sense)

Wow...
