Some changes that I've noticed:
 
3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.
 
Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.
 
Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas.
 
Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.
 
Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.
 
Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16. 
 
Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.
 
Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.
 
Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.
 
Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.
 
Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships
 
Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return of World Cup qualifiers.
 
Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.
 
Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024

you are right partially but it's not exactly like that
 
for non-athletes they can't even ask for visa, will be rejected immediately
 
but it doesn't mean that athletes can get their visa smoothly, hell no. they usually reject half of the team for no reason just to show they can do that. and that was even before the orange baboon, obviously I don't expect things to get better with the current administration.
 
USA Wrestling guys are nice and respectful, I'm sure they will work hard to prevent that. but well it's not up to them.
again 2 years is a long time. lots of things can change. we will see.

Both of the El-Shorbagy brothers compete under  flag so would be eligible to compete for  at the Olympics if they qualify. The same thing happens in badminton where the athletes compete under the home nation flags but earn the qualifying spots for 

everybody knew this for couple of months but UWW officially confirmed that  Bahrain will host the 2026 World Championships. if I'm not wrong Slovakia was the other candidate but I assume the UWW won't host major senior competitions inside the Schengen area until Sadulaev's ban expires. 
 
it's also almost a sure thing that  Las Vegas will host the 2027 Worlds (which is also the main Olympic Qualifier) which is a terrible news for our team  two years is a long time though. Vegas will host the 2026 U23 Worlds too, we will see how they will deal with the visa thing one year before the senior event.
 
another important thing is that they also moved the dates for the next year Worlds, it was supposed to be in early September but now it listed in UWW website from 24 October to 1 November
 
it probably has something to do with the Asian Games in late September. but I think this is even worse having the AG before the Worlds.  will be a tough decision for our federation, is it wise to send the A team to both events ?  will we see Japanese top wrestlers in this home Asian Games ? most of them wanted to participate but now this will ruin their World Champs chance. it's easier to go the Worlds first and then recover your body for AG (which is a mini tournament with few very good wrestlers in each weight)

Wow! What a rollercoaster this campaign has been for us! We have been so bad in earlier games that it’s hard to believe what happened this week with 2 unexpected victories. 
 
As Irish fans who experienced similar heart-wrenching results over the years, we can certainly empathise with our Hungarian counterparts for that lake sucker punch.
 
Still don’t see a way for us to qualify but at least we are still alive! 

Starting today. Full calendar:
