That's if an athlete qualifies in both events, not what happens if a different athlete gets the K1 quota. I think, C1 still gets priority, but I'm not 100% sure.

So according to the qualification document, Canada is not eligible for the K1 quotas as a nation can only earn a maximum of one quota per gender. Not sure if we are allowed to decline the C1 quota and get the K1 (assuming we finish first). We might have that situation with the women.

Nice to see we have some chances each day.

You are reading this too literally. In the case of Russia and Belarus, the sport federation is effectively the NOC now and decides who to nominate (which will be the highest ranked athletes/individual who qualified the quota). I understand you really don't want them to compete, but if you think a rule in the qualification document is going to prevent them from competing then you are greatly mistaken. The best way for Russia to not compete is if the government decides not to go (Belarus will compete unless Russia forces them to boycott).

They are obviously going to get an exception. The fact that Russia/Belarus were not allowed to participate will make it very easy to get one. "How could I get the requirements if my nation could not participate? I would have participated if my nation was allowed to do so." ITF barely enforces the requirements anyway.

It's a shame we are getting a repeat host so quickly, but they also don't have a lot of time and I believe most of the infrastructure is there in Lima

The question is whether their clubs will let them play.

You just wrote Germany can't be paired with Spain or France (which means they will face the United States). It's a shame we are drawn into Pot 3, but if we can't defeat Brazil or Japan then we are probably not winning a medal

Overall, 31 nations qualified at least one quota. Here are the distribution: 5 Quotas 4 Quotas 3 Quotas 2 Quotas 1 Quota Quite well distributed. As expected, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan made up for their poor performance at the Asian qualifier.

That would make things awkward since GBR just qualified someone in women's middleweight. They would probably need to have a box-off while the other quota is returned.

No, I agree Singapore would work, but I was more questioning about Brunei's contribution.

ended up being the big winners of session 1, winning three quotas. They have one more opportunity.

Singapore would work, but what would Brunei contribute? Lawn bowling?

Malaysia is one of the smaller viable options. The good news is the nation has many of the costly venues (athletics track, swimming & diving pools, track velodrome, cricket fields, field hockey fields) already in place so the most they may need to do is to renovate them.

Qualifying in taekwondo is brutal, especially for Europe and Asia. You have people in non-Olympic weights moving around (more common in taekwondo) and the sport loves upsets so we are bound to see many great athletes staying home. Especially in a 16-person field.

He keeps changing nationalities. Question is does he go for a fourth one or will he return to Canada?

Looks like they are playing catch-up after a horrible Asian qualifier.

The refugee team has qualified its first athlete, Kimia Alizadeh in taekwondo (women's -57kg)

In women's cycling both a Russian and Belarussian will compete so I imagine it's fine.

I think Germany is good at this bobsleigh thing

Mostly karate and table tennis You can see the schedule here

There's a good chance all or almost all of the events at the Oceania qualifier will be reallocated, especially with New Zealand not contributing. At the Pacific Games, they barely had enough competitors and that's without the athlete limitation. Even at a best case scenario, the following nations competed at the Pacific Games: On paper all of the events could be eligible if the nations work together. In reality, the Pacific nations will probably want to avoid Australia as much as possible so we could have a situation where Australia's chosen events are not eligible while the other events are full of Pacific nations. That's probably the opposite of what World Taekwondo wanted. As mentioned before, it's not difficult to figure out 3/4 events Australia will choose (unless they decide to play mind games and participate in weaker events so that they can qualify).

for the men's skeet quota

Isn't Josefa Rodriguez still eligible or did they do the shoot-out? Edit: Looks like she didn't make the final

Tennis was always going to allow them to compete if they were allowed to do so.
