Denmark has had a good few years at the top level, upsets against Switzerland (twice), Finland and the Czech Republic over their current streak. They still have a good chance at surviving, though something needs to happen...

Added - Potential Boxing Quotas Despite no approved qualification system I decided to add potential boxing quotas for the unqualified nations. The Men's Light Flyweight (-49kg) and the Men's Lightweight (-60kg) have been dropped while the Men's Bantamweight and Men's Light Welterweight have been adjusted from 56kg to 57kg and 64kg to 63kg respectively. On the women's side the Featherweight (-57kg) and Welterweight (-69kg) have been added. Until the qualification document is released I'm going to be a bit strict on this sport. I am also currently ignoring athletes whom compete in non-Olympic events until at the very least they declare to move up/down a weightclass in order to compete at the Olympics.

I'd argue Panama and Colombia are comparable with Nicaragua in terms of talent. Any reason why the Dominican Republic is not competing? That would help balance the groups a bit. If not, we are looking at Chile, Aruba or some Central American nation.

I added a couple of events, but the "Discuss About This Event" box doesn't show up (along with the color font going black). Any ideas why?

Mountain too if you go by the main site. Maybe things have changed. It's also published on the Mexican federation site that they are hosting both.

Poor Denmark, they will be looking to stay in the top division for the fifth year in a row. They have had decent results against Switzerland over the past few years, but as with any junior team the players are always different. Of course, they will be favourites against Kazakhstan should both teams reach the relegation round.

The main site has Mexico, Namibia and Lebanon as the hosts respectively, did things change?

Looks like the Koreas will compete together in women's basketball, canoeing and rowing with potential in judo and table tennis. Link Qualifying in women's basketball is possible, but for canoeing and rowing, I doubt they would qualify in multi-person boats. Judo is useless as South Korea outranks all North Korean judokas while in table tennis I imagine both nations don't want to limit their players in the team event (unless the IOC/ITTF decides to have a six-person team) Also I really hope they attempt to qualify using a combined team rather than relying on South Korea to qualify then creating a combined team.

Nice to see and in a good position for men's individual sprint. Heck, is on the outside looking in for the team event.

I don't think South Africa has confirmed the same qualification policy as 2016, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it.

I just checked the schedule and there is no Oceania Championships during the first set, this could make things hard for those nations if they want to qualify normally. Only Australia, New Zealand and Samoa sent athletes to the World Championships. Maybe they could make the Pacific Islands Email Tournament an eligible tournament. It doesn't help that the World Cup in China is being held at the same time. At best they could head to the Las Vegas Open during the Youth World Championships. If not, Samoa stands to benefit from this while all the other nations will fight for likely 1 male and 1 female tripartite spot. Also would the Oceania Championship, Commonwealth Championship and Pacific Games count as three results, despite being held at the same time? I know in 2017 they used the same lifts in both the Oceania and Commonwealth Championships.

I mostly look at recent world/continental results and world rankings for some sports while taking into consideration the qualification process. Naturally some sports will be more strict than others, based on the data that I have. In terms of wrestling I too was surprised that Iran didn't have an athlete in each male event, I guess they had (relatively) poor recent showings, I have no issue with adding them all, I was mostly waiting to see your reaction I agree in basketball that China is the favourite, but with other nations competing things could get quite messy in the rankings. For sailing, it more has to do with the weakness of Asia in Men's Finn. Iran's sailor (Ahmad Ahmadi) was third among Asian nations at the 2018 Worlds and one of those nations was Japan who is already qualified, the other is from Hong Kong. Of course, I suspect China will show up at the continental qualifier and take the quota, but if they don't I suspect Hong Kong and Iran will fight for that quota.
