  1. Depending on the rankings we could have some empty quotas which will have to be reallocated (like the LW2x at the Pan American qualifier)
  2. Weird they didn't allocate the 16th quota since if they were waiting for the World Cup event then the world rankings wouldn't be finalized...
  3. North Korea still hasn't declined its quota. There is definitely some kind of behind the scenes work being done to try to get them to come.
  4. They did not, which likely cost them a couple of quotas.
  5. To be fair, if North Korea does compete one of the things they will demand is to let some of their weightlifters to compete.
  6. Probably not, ignoring nations with team quotas (Honduras and Montenegro) the largest tripartite nation will likely be Samoa. They have already qualified seven athletes and will qualify more in judo and weightlifting (plus a chance in rugby sevens, but that's a team sport). That's without getting any invitation places (they will be given one/two in swimming). Due to their success, this means Samoa won't be eligible for tripartite quotas in 2024.
  7. Not surprising. Sadly, I don't see her court challenge being successful. The qualification document was clear on how the quotas would be redistributed should the continental qualifier not take place. She would have to prove that the organizers deliberately cancelled the event in order to fix the results. Also there hasn't been a proper boxing event in over a year and there isn't exactly much time to schedule a new one so even if she's successful all she would end up doing is prevent any athlete from Pan America to compete at the Olympics.
  8. Yeah, it's unlikely New Zealand will accept the quota, but we should wait for confirmation.
  9. FINA will be forced to break their rules by the courts because of a poorly written qualification document. Unless athletes and NOCs decide not to fight it...
  10. I agree, FINA might try to remove the lower ranked top 18 athletes to try to fit the athlete quota, but any court challenge will likely be in favour of the athletes just from the way the qualification document is written. I imagine for the 2024 Olympics there will be a change in the qualification process to ensure this doesn't happen again.
  11. No only the eight qualified teams get to compete.
  12. You only need about 16 additional athlete quotas (four for each event) to create a 12 nation synchronized diving event without suffocating the individual event. Most nations that would rank 9-12 would already qualify at least one athlete in the individual event. Of course, synchronized diving along with some of the larger rowing events have some of the lowest participation rates (partly due to the low number of Olympic quotas) at the Olympics so it is more likely for those events to be cut all together.
  13. This may turn out to be a bad day for Canada, additionally we may only have 1 athlete in the individual event if he doesn't get better...
  14. Yeah, here's hoping they can figure it out in the final. They had two really poor dives so even marginally fixing them would put them in a much better position.
  15. Will Woo Ha-ram complete the set of obtaining every single men's quota?
  16. Well if you aren't expecting much of an audience those hotel halls are a perfect size for sports like fencing.
  17. Did we ever figure out whether a DNS counts as participating? Mauritius made that issue moot in the African qualifier by getting a DNF. If not then the women's K1 quota won't be awarded here.
  18. Nice bronze medal by Canada's men. They kept their dives relatively simple (their most difficult was a 3.4), but did them well.
  19. Yeah it was just a bad day for them
  20. UCI has finally updated their qualification documents. Basically, the Olympic rankings for cross-country, BMX racing and BMX freestyle will include the next two World Cup events. If they don't occur, they will take the Olympic rankings on the June 7th update. Also the BMX racing World Championships quotas have been reallocated to the Olympic rankings
  21. Yeah, it's confusing. At least the ICF is giving us a simulation, in 2012 and 2016 they didn't so it was always a guessing game until just before the Olympics.
  22. I saw this last night, additionally, Australia withdrew its men's C1 1000m quota, giving it to Samoa and apparently Sweden wanted it's men's K1 200m quota back which meant Russia lost its men's K2 1000m quota
