Bermuda qualifies in equestrian thanks to Annabelle Collins & Joyero VG. 
 
They could possibly be the last nation to get their first athlete in 2019 (unless Sri Lanka and/or Jordan get confirmed too before January).

It's already pretty much a done deal. Only a slight chance for Thai men.

Schedule complete
 
http://fih.ch/media/13342092/fih_tokyo2020_giftofhockey-1.pdf

this is -like it already happened in Rio- the most stupid and tv audience unfriendly schedule they could build...
 
I mean, there are a lot of matches at the same time, they use 2 different stadiums...and they always put an accent on the cost saving...
 
why didn't they just build a single venue (possibly indoor, maybe even a temporary structure, as I don't think in Japan they need a big permanent hockey stadium, given the very limited popularity of the sport, so to allow games to be played all day long in safe environmental conditions) ans have the usual 6 games a day schedule as almost every other team sport with 12 participants?
 
and if they say they need to end the tournament on the last friday, without going deep into the final couple of days of the Games, well, they could have easily scheduled the 1st game day for both the men and the women on wednesday and thursday before the opening ceremony, just like soccer (and this time even softball), keeping a perfect 16-gameday tournament ending on the scheduled 3rd last day of the Games...
 
easier done than said...
 
but no, they have to mess it up to the (already very few) hardcore fans they have...
 
to me, these are already the worst Games ever (among all those I had the chance to follow personally, since L.A. 1984) and those I have the lowest hype ever for...
 
and I fear things are only getting worse and worse every edition of the Olympics, as I feel they're just doing as much as they can to destroy my "favourite toy" more and more every single day...

Like I said - Canada.

officially disqualified in team jumping  

Really sad for Eric Lamaze, with his current health this is likely his last chance at Olympic glory. Hopefully he gets in? @dcro

Czech Republic would get a team, while Ukraine would get an individual slot instead of whoever finishes 2nd in Group C...

The quota is to Australia. Not other Oceania´s sailors in the entries list (New Zealand have quota by Worlds 2018)

After Manu (NED title in Handball), here's another frenchman success as Frank Boidin's work with Japan pays off with a podium.
 
A first medal since 2007 world cup as reported by their fed.

Egypt not only strenghten their position, but earned a place, overtaking Singapore in 15th place overall...
 
final update after the end of today's tournament...

they have 8 quota places available, but if they want more, they have to qualify (and if they do it in women's foil, they can use the quota places in other disciplines)...

another very important result is Egypt's 13th or 14th place at the end of the day, which means that they will earn a lot of points over the teams immediately following them in the 16th and last useful position to save their continental spot...

It's all in the same page linked at the end of the previous post...

Here is the Full Final Ranking (and Results) from Today's competition:
https://fie.org/competitions/2020/755

USA, yes...
France, basically yes, even if it's not mathematical
Italy, not at all...there are 4 teams (ITA, KOR, HKG and RUS) for 2 places...and if both KOR and HKG end up in 3rd and 4th place, one between ITA and RUS will stay home (as it's true for the opposite, if ITA and RUS both make it into the top 4, then 1 beetween KOR and HKG have to watch the Games on TV)...
and this fight will also have implications on the European and Asian continental spots...
it will be a close fight until the last competition of the OQP...

according to today's results, this is the projection of the Olympic Qualification Ranking...

the USA are more and more safe into the lead, with only France keeping the pace...
Italy are making a little step ahead of their main rivals for the 3rd and/or 4th place, as did Korea by edging Hong Kong out of the top 4...
Russia, however, are getting closer and closer to the top 4...
for what concerns the other continental spots, Egypt are safe in the top 16, meanwhile Canada are losing ground and now they are dangerously close to the 16th place line (and Brazil couldn't take advantage of today's big chance, as they also missed out on a place in the top 16 in Tokyo)...
