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.

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...

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.

Will Woo Ha-ram complete the set of obtaining every single men's quota?

Well if you aren't expecting much of an audience those hotel halls are a perfect size for sports like fencing.

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.

Nice bronze medal by Canada's men. They kept their dives relatively simple (their most difficult was a 3.4), but did them well.

Yeah it was just a bad day for them

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

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.

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

Looks like it got removed

It looks like Pakistan has been awarded a universality place in women's 200m. It's the only place awarded so far according to World Athletics. Link

As Europe already qualified an athlete in men's and women's trampoline, no continental quota will be available.

Top four unqualified teams in the synchro events. As for the individual events, anyone who made it to the semi-finals (assuming they are eligible) will qualify then the next best athletes will qualify depending on how many extra places remain (it depends if the athletes in the synchro events also compete in the individual event). Basically for each individual/sychro pair 34 athletes will compete.

19 nations fighting for 16 quotas, the numbers seem split enough that we may avoid having to reallocate the quotas. Vanuatu has been competing in rowing for a while now. No doubt they have applied for a tripartite quota. If he can finish ahead of the other tripartite nations (Iraq and Kuwait) it'll make a strong argument for him. However, he didn't perform too well at the 2019 Worlds, only finishing ahead of the UAE (though most of the nations competing here didn't compete there)

Why would they deserve it more? It's also not like they will get to compete against the big teams, they have already qualified and it is very unlikely they will qualify to the Commonwealth Games over Sri Lanka/Bangladesh.

I think you are being too harsh on them. Depth would no doubt be a question, but the runner-up of the West Indies tournament should easily be able to handle the likes of Tanzania/Samoa/Malaysia. At the very least they should get a chance to show whether or not they have the strength to do so.

I wonder if they will let any of the losing West Indies teams compete in the final qualifier. I'd give them a decent chance at defeating Bangladesh and Sri Lanka

Canada has withdrawn from the World Relays. At this rate there may not be a lot of quotas left on the rankings list as the top 8 here may end up being very different than the top 8 at the 2019 World Champs

Wouldn't the French quotas (assuming North Korea withdraws) be reallocated to the European qualifier? That would mean 9 quotas will be available for the women's ranking (Balazova would be qualified in the singles)

If countries can decide which version of lawn bowls to focus on they would have more than enough nations to be eligible for the Olympics. Of course with Olympics wanting to attract a younger crowd, boules will likely never make it to the games.

No, mixed doubles players don't automatically compete in the singles. For every mixed doubles athlete not qualified in singles a reduction of the world rankings quota occurs because we can only have a maximum of 86 men and 86 women in table tennis.

Australia has withdrawn from this event. They would have likely qualified in the two 3m synchro diving events and a second men's 3m springboard.

Nice to see Canada with a medal chance on the men's side, even if it's due to the crazy rules and doping
