hey, mate, no worries. In the end we have no clue what will be made of hahaha but i am "saving" the quota for Belarus on my notes and I guess if the quota is not to Belarus, probably it will be used as a "Reallocation" case. It could have been the first Belarus quota, as Russia has already some OQT in athletics (to be seen if they will be valid...) Regarding the tennis, the same scenario... The Davis Cup/BJK thing in the end is a big bull**** used to punish athletes who are in dispute with their federations. It was hardly used in Tokyo/Rio. The athletes from Russia and Belarus would claim that their team was not allowed, so therefore they could not commit to their teams. I'm sure this will not be a decider for that.

Considering that Guatemalan, Russian and Belarus athletes are neutral, therefore not representing a NOC, it does feasible for me to think that their quotas will go to IOC/"Neutral Athletes" Team or something on that regard. What I'm still struggling to understand is if Russian and Belarus will count as "one team" in the matters of quota. In Tennis rankings for instance (could 6 russians and 6 belarussians go or 6 in total? could russia and belarus form a pair?). But in the meantime, their quotas are secured, as it's fair to be, since the athletes won (if they are allowed or not to participate is another matter, but since they are, they should be able to earn their quotas).

Hey Josh, thank you very much once again. Just had the time to go through the list and found some names missing - perhaps they already got quotas on other events? Men’s 400 Alexander Doom (BEL) Busang Collen KEBINATSHIPI (BOT) Men’s 400m hurdles Yasmani COPELLO (TUR) — Ludovica Cavalli got a quota on the 1500m and not on the 800m Women’s 1500 Sinclaire Johnson (USA) Katie Snowden (USA) Sifan Hassan (NED) Cory Ann McGee (USA) (besides Ludovica Cavalli as above) Women’s 5000m Faith Kipyegon (KEN) Ejgayehu Taye (ETH) Freweyni Hailu (ETH) Lilian Kasait Rengeruk (KEN) TANAKA Nozomi (JPN) Laura Galván (MEX)

ahhhhhhhh I think I understand it now thanks!!!! It doesn't make too much sense to me, but I can see the logic now. This way would not hurt athletes that team up with someone from the K4 I guess. So Spain, Hungary and Lithuania go to 5 athletes (K4+1 from K2). But I'm wondering how this will play on the Continental Qualification tournament. Will those countries be allowed to participate solely on the K1 to earn a sixth quota then?

I kind of agree with you. On a qualification guide I wrote I said something on the lines "this is one of the easiest formats once the World Championships is over". It's kind of impossible to follow during it. Edited later: Perhaps they could simply do the schedule according to the guide. The K4 races opening, then the C2/K2 and finishing with the C1/K1. This way i guess would all be clear regarding the allocation.

I think it's ok for us, fans, to have a couple of questions. But athletes and federation staff to not read and understand their own documents bazzle me. For me it's very clear that Lithuania can not have a quota on K2 because Mindaugas MALDONIS was on the K4 boat.

Thank you so much for your table!!! I'm checking my own and have a couple of questions. Regarding the K2 boats that have athletes also in K4 I don't think they are elegible, you can't qualify half a boat. So in the K2 male would qualify: and on the K1 male would qualify: + I don't understand why Argentina has a quota on this table - there are 6 quotas for the K1 plus the French quota, right? I guess it has to do with the 40 + 11 + 8 but i'm not sure what does that mean. thank you so much

If France wins, the olympic quota will go to the OQT, so I imagine it would be the same thing? or could it go to the UK?

Yeah, but we also have to remmeber that the OQD are made by the specific federations and sometimes they leave things that may be obvious to them. I wonder if we had this loophole on the 2020 or previous documents by UCI? I'm kind of new into this area.

Out of curiosity what would be your take for the man's freestyle? Mine would be Olympic Qualifier Series Logan MARTIN NAKAMURA Rimu Anthony JEANJEAN KIERAN REILLY (but this sixth spot I guess could go to or other countries out of the radar 2022 World Champ Quotas 2 or 2023 World Champ Quotas possibly reallocated to reallocated to chance would be if GBR gets two spots via OQS (or if Gustavo Bala Loka wins directly a quota via OQS)

I agree with you. I think that people from Olympics.com have inside access to question anything and to be fair all Martin's texts are very much similar to the documents even in those gray areas. I have saved all previous versions and just realized that they changed this section to explicity remove any impeditions from an NOC to have a second quota by the 2023 Worlds. But at the same time, it is still not clear if the same athlete can obtain 2 quotas for its country, which is crazy but... I guess on the male's side, Logan Smith for instance would probably get a second quota for Australia via 2023 WC even if he qualifies through the OQS or by continental quota via 2022 Worlds. Version from 19 August 2022 (and probably the one used by Marta Martin): Version from January 2023:

We have to remember that Australia will have a quota - probably in 2022 but one never know.

South Africa has historically turned down continental quotas on sports in which their athletes are not world level, so hoping this would be the case... I do like the idea for this qualification process, but I think either the OQS should have come before or they would be last in priority... But I also struggle to understand if someone can win 2 quotas. I would vote no because it does not make any sense, but...

Thank you very much Josh! Lucas Carvalho (BRA) also ran under the OQT on the 400m semifinals and he just cruised on the final to save for the Worlds!

And now Greece appears to have found a 3rd good athlete, let's see if they could jump on the team rankings.

I don't think a rule should be changed because of an exception. Having said that I could see a place for a country with 1 individual quota on the rankings trying a 2nd quota on the OQT. Olympic Games always try to have more countries involved and not necessarily having the best from the best. And as a Brazilian I still hate FIE for just giving 1 quota for the Americas and 2 for Asia hahaha perhaps could be 6 quotas overall from 4 continents. or 2 from each continent.

Thanks a lot Josh as alwasy!! I just missed 2 names from the list: Samuel FIREWU (ethiopia) on the 3000m steepchase and Julien ALFRED (on 200m, she already had on 100m). At least i did not have them on my sheets as of yet! thanks

The following Russian athletes (yeah, Russians!) got Olympic quota on 20km Race Walking in the following events. Nobody knows if they will be in Paris 2024, or how, but if they managed to be elegible I guess those times will count. They are found on World Athletics, so I guess it's ok with them. Haven't checked other events, just Race Walking National Race Walking Competitions, Slava Metreveli Stadium, Sochi - U23 Events February 13, 2023 Women's 20km Elvira CHEPAREVA, Reykhan KAGRAMANOVA, Anastasiya KOLCHINA Russian Race Walking Championships, Saransk February 20, 2023 Men's 20km Vasiliy MIZINOV, Anton KURBATOV

Hey Josh, I thinkg Lanae-Tava THOMAS, from USA, got under the OQT on this event as well!

Thank you very much for this amazing work!!! I'm not sure if you missed him or if I missed a previous Olympic qualification from him, but I don't see the Kenynan Benjamin KIGEN from 3000m steeplechase!!

Sorry for replying a bit late, but I wouldn't mind if one person "creates" a post and keeps on updatingit during the event, as long as it's clear that it's a work in progress. Anyway I agree that one post per event is better!

Someone on wikipedia included Damascus and Aleppo as hosts for the Asian qualifiers, but without any source. Does anyone know anything about this? thanks!

I was wondering why Inside the Games keep calling them the first breakers to qualify for an Olympic Games. Do they totally ignore the African qualifier that happened earlier this month or is there any chance those quotas will be realocated?
