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.

I know team sports claim to have minimum requirements, but the only sport I've seen to have done this is field hockey (Greece in 2004 and Brazil in 2016). Even handball let Australia compete in 2000. I guess we'll see how low their requirements are once a nation like Qatar hosts (especially on the women's side).

I'd give him a good chance at grabbing the tripartite quota

Besides basketball (which only gives two spots to Europe and Pan America) and football (which only does continental qualifiers) none of the other team sports gives more than 1 continental spot to each continent. Other than guaranteeing Europe more quotas, handball doesn't strike as a sport that needs to do that. The issue is handball is very Euro-centric which is why you see more European teams at the Olympics, when was the last time more than two non-European nations finished in the top 10 at the world championships?

Not really, we saw Bolivia and Peru newly attend while Colombia did not. The only reason it's on the Pan Am program is because of its Olympic status.

Shouldn't they give the Nacra 17 quota to the other Tunisian boat? They did win all eight races in which both boats participated.

Canoe slalom doesn't have much depth in Pan America. It was the last discipline to be added to the Pan American Games (in 2015).

Archery can have as many mixed team participants as they want because in the end it won't add any more time to the schedule. Only the top 16 from the qualification round advance to the actual tournament. For table tennis, additional matches would have to be played.

This will be a tall order for Canada, but anything can happen in a single game Good luck to Honduras.

I think the results of will determine how Canada plays. If the two nations draw then I imagine Canada will go full on attack to try and grab the win. If it's a narrow win for one Canada will initially play hard to win, but may play defensively if Honduras grabs the lead and if it's a large win for one of the teams Canada will likely go for the 0-0 draw and take their (slim) chances against Mexico.

Quite a few athletes from Oceania, more than I thought. Also we could see our first athlete from qualify to the Olympics (possibly too)

They haven't confirm it, but I highly suspect that the World Ranking quotas will be reshuffled to give 4 quotas to each event oppose to 3-6.

Yeah, I would only eliminate the nations which failed to make the gold fleet.

All that's remaining is the Doha Grand Prix for individual foil.
