Each gender will have 16 quotas. Up to 12 from world cup because it depended on the number of quotas guaranteed from the world championhips and how many would need to go to continental classification

The last male quota will still be decided depending on Sunday's final. Just a recap: we have had 5 quotas on the 23 WC, and 8 direct quotas from the 24 world cups. Another reallocation from host nation (as France guaranteed directly) plus another possible reallocation from Universality (they were never used on Trampoline and athletes need to compete on Continental Championships to be eligible). The last one will be from African qualifer, only continent not represented either on male or female. Having said all that, let's go MEN (5 from World Championships: ) YAN Langlyu Dylan SCHMIDT Pierre GOUZOU Ivan LITVNOVICH Rayan DUTRA Aliaksei SHOSTAK David VEGA Angel HERNANDEZ - guaranteed at least with the Host Nation reallocation quota the last quota will go between Gabriel ALBUQUERQUE can get the quota if he finishes at least on top3, depending also on results from Ivan LITVNOVICH. If he doesn't get it: Danil MUSSABAYEV get this quota. If Gabriel gets it, KAZ is next on line for the Universality reallocation. If POR doesn't get the quota and KAZ stays with the host nation reallocation, the Universality reallocation will go to Fabian VOGEL Just for info, next in line for reallocation is: Blake RUTHERFORD; Anton DAVYDENKO; Remi AUBIN WOMEN (5 from World Championships: ) ZHU Xueying Bryony PAGE MORI Hikaru Iana LEBEDEVA Lea LABROUSSE Madaline DAVIDSON ROMERO ROSARIO Seljan MAHSUDOVA The host nation quota would go to: Viyaleta BARDZILOUSKAYA - obviously is still uncertain if a Russian and a Belarussian could get quotas together. I believe so given the example from taekwondo and as even if they are both going as AIN, they have different passports. If this is confirmed, the possible reallocation from Universality would go to: Luba GOLOVINA And the reserves are: Sofia CORREIA; Abbey WATTS; Dafne NAVARRO LOZA Just as a final reminder, the reserves are only in cases in which a NOC can not or shall not send someone... or the athletes that earned a quota is DSQ from competition due to doping or something like that. AIN also makes things a bit more hanging as the quota is for the NOC, it is highly unlikely that they will be called.

trampoline never used universality, but still could. Although interested countries would have to participate in continental championships to be eligible

Eritrea Civil War on Wikipedia gets a whole new meaning

For now, the only open gay judoka, Timo Cavelius is losing ground on the Olympic ranking and maybe will not go to Paris afterall.

is the other semifinal being broadcasted somewhere? Cheering for Benjamin Lock, as Laura Pigossi's beau. would be great to have a Olympic couple.

Maya Sheriff probably will end up with the quota anyway as the only semifinalist in the top400.

Does anyone have any idea who those 12 russians and 7 belarus could be? I have 12 Russians qualified on my table, but 2 are from athletics (they achieved the quota but WA is not including them). So, the others are: 2 from Road Cycling + 4 in taekwondo + 4 in wrestling As in Belarus, we have 8 so far: 2 in wrestling + 1 in taekwondo + 1 in rowing + 3 in swimming (but are those already considered quota?) + 1 in road cycling. Obviously that many of these may have double passports. But with this we would have 18 in total, not considering the athletics. Who else from AIN already got a quota?

Just read the official confirmation from FEI, so sad that Svenja GRIMM lost the quota. She gave an interview to a Chilean newspaper Not sure if is fair or unfair, but it's sad that qualifications that happen based on tournaments are still not confirmed. I remember thinking about that still in Santiago, but was hoping they would not take her out of the games.

Apparently, the 4 main seeds got to the men semifinals.

The 4 main seeds at the men's draw are alive. they are the only ones that could realistically use the Olympic quota. Aziz Dougaz needed a 10-8 MTB win to pass in the first round and will face Elliot Benchetri in a QF Moez Echargui play against Eliakim Coulibaly Benjamin Lock lost at the R32 according to the official website but he also won (?) so he will face Michel Bassem in the QF (seriously, what's so difficult on posting a pdf draw in the website?) Mohamed Safwat #368 will face Iradukunda Guy Orly On the women's side WOMEN'S Mayar Sherif is the big favorite and is on the QF. The only other African woman on the top400, Sada Nahimana started well, winning 6-0 6-0 but then lost to a south african player. I wonder if the Universality quota will go to her or again to

Yeah, I agree but I try to think in the positive half-glass-full way. In the past everybody was assumed to be straight until they had their official coming out. Nowadays it is still the same, but through instagram and other social media you can see athletes comfortable enough to show same-gender boyfriends/girlfriends even if they don't see themselves as ambassadors etc. We have to remember that most of them have spent their entire lives focused on sport, so they many times are unaware of major social issues or just don't have the strength/time/abilities to do that. That's why I like that IOC NOCs and affiliates (such as IOA) are creating more educational programs for the athletes.

ahhh got it, thanks!!! Poor girls then.

Update on quotas based on Road to Paris, part 4 (part 1) (part2) (part3) During this week I do men's and will keep on checking for updates In bold those that effectively won/added quotas for their countries, including Mongolia with its first quota on athletics.

But in Marathon, Road to Paris count 82 athletes as qualified (albeit the limit is 80), but does not count two that reached the quota and appears as the "best in the rankings": Nazret Weldu Nienke Brinkman Both qualified at the Boston Marathon. Their results are there and their times are lower than the quota... Does anyone know if they or their federations are aware that they are not considered qualified? And what could happen? For now, Jovana de la Cruz Capani (PER) and Jackline Sakilu (TAN) are on 81 and 82 on the list. Is there any risk for them even with EST? Or they will be granted one of the "extra quotas" reserved? One minor issue There are 3 russians who have achieved quotas in Race Walk at the Sochi tournament in february 13, 2023 and I was noting them (I guess Josh as well) because apparently the events seemed to be eligible... but the Russians are not in the list.

Having said all that, it's a bit of a nightmare to follow... You find things like that on the scorelines There is one Kenyan journalist and one from Zimbabwe that may help us with that specially when time comes to decide things.

that's absolutely true! But as a queer Brazilian man I hadn't heard about Urias until now, shameful from me i will start to listen tonight!

It's true. And the support for him is huge now, some from major volleyball Olympic champions in Brazil and also State Ministers, not to mention a huge press conference. One of the finalists from the tournament, also gay, spoke about it after his semfinal win today.

So, if I understand well, only those athletes are realistically vying for an Olympic quota. I was surprised at the lack of South African men here but given their issues in the past, probably they are not connected to the federation. The only one is out of the rankings if I'm not mistaken They have to be in the top400 to effectively qualify. I think those that are bubbling under may get the help to participate in tournaments and financial aid as well to travel and gain enough points. Currently Lock, for instance, is under that on the "Race to Paris", for instance. He is the boyfriend of Laura Pigossi, who won the PanAm Games and qualified as well. Sherif is #135 on the Race to Paris, so she may need effectively a win here.

I thought about starting a new topic to discuss the matter, as in LGBTQ+ athletes, or politics towards it. Hopefully it will be a topic with a lot of positive news being shared etc, but I thought about it due to a crime commited on a sports arena. https://www.instagram.com/andersonmelo92/?img_index=7 Anderson Melo, a Beach Volleyball player who recieved a lot of homophobic chants and hate from the crowds (and possibly from the rival pair, could not really understand 100% from the video). The referee was totally inept and let this happened. In Brazil, homophobia is a crime, so Anderson started a Police Report on that.

Thanks! Apparently it's official the decision by Argentina

Who is representing Africa Judo Union who is on the medal table?

I think it would go Cuba!

ah sorry, forgot about that. quick hypothetical question then: Uzbekistan already has 2 athletes. What would happened if a rellocation is necessary on +80kg? Could still Rafalovich be called and be a third male Uzbek as his quota is by the ranking?

Apparently it's harder to get a Wikipedia page than an Olympic quota?

But why would they just bring 1 athlete to the event and not 2?
