Thank you very much,dear 
But quota for Tokyo I will earn himself and get on the qualifying championship,because I believe in their capabilities

Unfair considering we had countries like Moldova wanting a spot.

Can you stop asking questions for things that have not concluded? Flooding these threads with endless requests will not get you what you want. 

you make me laugh, thanks!!

Rio 2016 reveals 'look' of tickets for Olympic and Paralympic Games
 

 
Rio 2016 unveiled the 'look' of the tickets for the Olympic and Paralympic Games on Friday (20 May) morning at the organising committee's headquarters. And the colourful yet practical designs will soon be winging their way out to sports fans around the world who have bought tickets to the Games.
 
"From 1pm (Brasília time) today, the tickets will begin to be sent out from the graphic design company and somewhere in the world someone will receive the first ticket," said Rio 2016 President Carlos Nuzman. Find out how to buy tickets to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The tickets feature the Rio 2016 sport pictograms, which for the first time in Games history, have one for each Olympic and Paralympic sport.
 

 
The tickets are being produced by the same graphic design company in the USA that produced the tickets for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Staff at the company, which has 30 years of experience in ticket production, "live to produce tickets" said Donovan Ferreti, the Rio 2016 ticketing director.
 
More than four million tickets for the Olympic Games – 67% of the total available – have already been sold. Two million tickets remain on sale and every Thursday a new batchs of tickets, including for some of the most sought-after events, are going on sale to Brazilian residents. "We will want to tell our grandchildren about the Rio 2016 Game and these are also our tickets to history," said Mário Andrada, executive director of communications at Rio 2016.
 

 

Canada named its Olympic team
Cynthia Meyer: Trap
Lynda Kyjeko : 10 m air pistol/25 m pistol 

Its in the rowing thread...

Apparently this will be the OBS intro for Rio Olympics:
 

^ That's not going to happen, yes that's true IOC recommended that long time ago back in 2004 if I'm not wrong but in general Greco-Roman is more popular around the world (not in my country though) specially in Europe. Lalovic (UWW president) himself is from Serbia, freestyle doesn't even exist in his country

True, plus the tripartite commission looks at all sports at the same time. I wish the commission would publish the list of nations which applied to each sport. It would be interesting to see which nations applied

If i noticed well, all qualified athletes from Bahrain are naturalized 

wtf no Afghanistan???
 
what were they smoking?

Have some patience
 
 

You are not safe yet

Yeah, if they take 1-2 quotas away from those countries then there will be a lot of reallocations!
 
As for Azerbaijan, in theory 1-1=0... But we are talking about Azerbaijan here so I guess it could be 1-1+x=x

I'll make one now!

You just insulted a Bhutanese archer.
