I agree there should be another one-person boat. However, the writing has been on the wall for a long time now. You'd think by at the latest 2012 (when women's boxing was added) that Finn knew that they better start organizing a women's division. It's the same thing with Greco-Roman wrestling. If you don't adapt you are going to be left behind.

In terms of the number of nations attempting to qualify in Men's Finn it's at the same level as the RS:X and ahead of the two-person boats, but without a female equivalent its days were always numbered

This is quickly turning into a show... Any chance we can get the US or some other country to host the event?

Cuba loses 4-3 twice to Puerto Rico, including Fonseca taking a 3-1 lead against Diaz.

The quota finals have been decided Men Campos vs. Afanador Wu vs. Cifuentes Women Diaz vs. Fonseca Silva vs. Vega Winners qualify to Tokyo

One big issue for places like GraceNote is that they only consider the top three for each event when in reality many events can have many entrants with at least a 5-10% chance. This usually evens out which is one reason GraceNote is no longer listing the medal winners (the other being money), but you sometimes get scenarios where a nation barely sneaks in/misses the top three more often than not. The other big issue (which can be seen in world rankings) is that athletes/teams which compete more often (or in more prestigious events) can inflate their position which causes a big surprise to non-experts within the sport. I tried to construct a prediction model about a year ago, but COVID ruined it.

Aguire, men's singles top seed has lost. He'll have a second chance in the second tournament, but he'll have a less favourable bracket position.

The alternate doesn't count unless they are activated

That's because Sri Lanka by far has the highest participant rate of all tripartite nations. They have so far attempted to qualify in 100 events while second place among tripartite nations are Kuwait and Malta which are tied with 59 events each.

What makes you so sure Guyana will get the spot? The three highest ranked tripartite nations are Men Women

The Latin American qualifier begins tomorrow. There will be two stages for the singles. Stage 1: Single elimination, finalists qualify Stage 2: Losers are reseeded in a new single elimination bracket, men's finalist and women's winner qualify The mixed doubles will be a single elimination tournament with the winner qualifying Brazil is not allowed to compete in the singles event while Puerto Rico can qualify 1 woman (and 2 men). Both nations can participate in the mixed doubles qualifier.

Unlikely, our highest ranked person is Kelly Fitzsimmons who is currently 68th, but she likely needs to break into the top 30 in order to have a chance.

It makes sense in events where only 1 or 2 athletes reached the OQT standard, but it get tricky in events with more athletes. Especially when you consider that most of those OQT standards were done back in 2019. Then you have the whole choosing athletes for the relays.

If I understand everything, the quota reallocations Archery (mixed team)- ( gets Mongolia's men's singles quota) Athletics (men and women's marathon) - N/A Boxing (women's flyweight) - Diving - Next best athlete at the 2021 World Cup Gymnastics (Women's Artistic) - Shooting (men and women's 10m air pistol) - Highest ranked nation without quotas Table Tennis (women's team) - Wrestling (women's -53kg) - & (women's -62kg) - (I think gets Ukraine's European quota)

Maybe they are banking on that? Though that's a risky game to play on an athlete with a chance (albeit a slight one) for an Olympic medal.

Did Oman sneak someone on their 49er boat on the second day, they essentially returned to their day 1 performances.

Huge respect for Midana, I thought his age has finally caught up to him, but he proved me wrong and earned his spot by defeating decent opponents. Even though he's in an easier to qualify continent, four Olympics as a wrestler is very difficult to do

So Bhaker is a double starter in pistol allowing one quota to be transferred to the 50m rifle. Just wondering why Moudgil is in the mixed rifle event, does Chandela not want to participate?

Yeah, Oman really turned it around after a very poor first day.

Hoping for to grab their first quota tomorrow, though looking at the brackets they will definitely have to earn it. In the -57kg Iuna may have to go through 3/4 2019 African Games medalists while in the -65kg Cumba likely faces the 2020 African Championship silver medalist as his first opponent (on the other hand, that top half bracket is quite weak). Their 2016 Olympians will also have a tough path.

I just looked at the matches for tomorrow's women's freestyle. The only event to have a bracket (-53kg) literally has the gold and silver medalists of the 2019 African Games AND the 2020 African Championships facing off in the first round.

Nothing too surprising, the depth in Greco-Roman in Africa is more shallow than Freestyle

Maybe Speed + Combined Boulder/Lead to match with the 2024 Olympics?

The quota is based on the April Rankings so we technically need to wait...

The qualification document specifies "sprint" and "slalom" athletes in their respective documents so I'm leaning no. Are there athletes which compete in both disciplines (like we see in cycling)? ICF would be more receptive to the idea if athletes exist rather than trying to Trojan horse someone into the other discipline.
