If anyone is curious here are the list of options

Around 35 refugee athletes will be announced tomorrow. Sounds like a lot...

The 4 athletes per team makes it hard for specialists to qualify. Though I think Downie would have had a decent chance at qualifying regardless if given a normal chance.

I think the ranking will be published after the world championships (even if the events have already occurred).

Is there a women's singles equivalent? I couldn't find one.

You can blame the NOCs for that, they are the ones who nominate their athletes (in ranked priority) which the commission takes into account when making their selection.

Reallocations are based on MQS results, not World Rankings. Burnett has a 121 while have 120 and have 119.

Does anyone know which events receive priority for reallocation? Anyway here are the top eligible nations for each event along with how many quotas are available (I'm assuming the remaining tripartite quotas and North Korea's quotas will be reallocated). I will also list the next three eligible nations. * or ** = tied with each other Men's 10m Air Rifle (1) - / Men's 50m Rifle 3 Positions (1) - / Men's 10m Air Pistol (1) - / * * ** ** Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol (2) - * * / Men's Trap (1) - / * * ** ** Men's Skeet (2) - / * * ** ** ** Women's 10m Air Rifle (0) - None / Women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions (3) - / Women's 10m Air Pistol (2) - / * * Women's 25m Pistol (0) - None / Women's Trap (3) - / Women's Skeet (2) - / Currently, Ireland, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and potentially Venezuela are all in positions to obtain more than one quota so their quotas will have to reallocated. I am very positive that we will not have enough quotas in women's trap

Took a quick look at all the relay qualifying countries Finland still needs to qualify one woman (either through OQT or OST and selected) in order to keep their medley relay. They have only qualified a single woman and can only select 2 relay only athletes so they need another person.

I was hopeful, but it was always going to be an uphill battle. I don't think we'll qualify in karate either so Canada will be 29/33. I think that puts us behind Japan, United States and Australia

What a turn around for Canada. Mental belief goes a long way

While they may be the same sport, Pros and Amateurs might as well be different events. It would be like a 1500m World Champ runner trying to compete in a 100m amateur running event.

That's good to hear. It wouldn't be the first time someone competed for their parents/grandparents country.

Are the Portuguese athletes Brazilian competing for Portugal?

Pretty much, we'll be around 5 athletes above the max quota once all is over so the impact of FINA not honouring their qualification procedure will only impact a handful of athletes.

In typical years, most of those 12 World Champs qualifiers would also compete at the World Cup so a lot fewer than 18 would qualify, but because of COVID many athletes which already qualified did not attend thus allowing a larger number to qualify at the World Cup.

Unfortunate for Canada... United States and Dominican Republic are better (on paper) than Venezuela. I was hoping for us to at least make the final tournament.

Looks like they are trying to change their rules, I hope they are getting their lawyers ready.

A quick look at the rankings and I found Haggar Elbestawy who competed at the 2018 African Championships. Wait, that means Egypt will be forced to decline the quota because no one has at least 10 UCI Points in the March 3rd 2020 or May 31st 2021 rankings. That means the quota will go to Germany.

No, three quotas on the women's side must be declined and then Aruba will qualify through reallocation.

Men's Race - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 (Africa quota) - 1 (Individual quota) - 1 (Individual quota) - 1 (Individual quota) - 1 (World Champs Reallocation) - 1 (World Champs Reallocation) - 1 (Host quota) Women - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 (Africa quota) - 1 (Individual quota) - 1 (Individual quota) - 1 (Individual quota) - 1 (World Champs Reallocation) - 1 (World Champs Reallocation) - 1 (Host Reallocation)

No, the qualification period won't end until the end of June

Weird that they didn't give the world quota to Pan American nations yet...

Yeah, there's a good chance Canada may only be behind Japan, United States, Australia and China in terms of the number of athletes competing.

Sadly ISSF did not tell us which events have priority in the case where a nation is eligible for more than one quota. I suspect it'll be the same as for the World Rankings, but I'm not sure how they will go by gender (interchanging male/female, interchanging female/male, all male first or all female first)
