Huge win by Canada against Australia. This also guarantees an American nation will win the quota (even if the US was a huge favourite pre-tournament) and likely means Chinese Taipei won't qualify a team. Of course in a six team tournament there was always going to be snubs.

Probably to guarantee there would be enough entries for the event. In the unlikely scenario that an entirely different set of 29 countries qualified in the two individual events.

They won't have to, as you said they could be double starters. Honestly I doubt a nation would use three athletes over the individual and team events, they'll most likely return an athlete quota.

No because in the qualification document it states that the athlete can still qualify their NOC a quota in the individual event. Also if you were to add up the athlete quotas the mixed team event quotas are separate so in theory you could have a completely different athlete competing in the mixed team event than in the individual events.

It's a winnable match, IMO

Why is it unworthy?

The results page for the women's 470 seems to suggest there will be two medal races? I think it's a glitch, have we ever seen that before?

Most of the quotas are given through the 2018 and 2019 World Championships so for the most part the top nations are qualifying. Besides the only event where both Canada and the United States are in qualifying positions is the Laser Radial, which isn't too bad considering 44 nations will compete. There are a couple of chances for the 2019 Worlds. It's definitely no Australia/New Zealand where both nations will likely qualify in almost all of the events between the two World Championships.

China/Italy will decide the fourth team in Group B. The Netherlands will have a chance in Group A, but require Mexico to defeat Chinese Taipei

Just schedule the events at different times...

Poland isn't too bad, maybe they left out a few people in athletics or decline to replace an injured athlete with another one. The Netherlands and Sweden are pretty bad, while in swimming for France they won't let you in unless you have a legit chance for a medal.

The 5th Nacra 17 race had almost half the racers failing to finish due to going over the time limit. The wind just died

I look forward to this experience. Right now there's not much since qualifications just began, but I hope to keep you guys updated.

Quite the third inning for TPE/PUR: 6-4, that's usually the score seen in an entire game...

Yeah they were not impressive so far, they needed an 8th inning to defeat Italy. I had Australia as the favourites to win the Asian/Oceania qualifier, but unless things changes they may be the underdog.

More of a hobby, but I rebooted my blog to report on the 2020 qualification process, hopefully gaining early information on nation's athlete's selection. Once I get enough viewers I'll upgrade to have my own domain name.

Funny thing is that they have a decent chance at qualifying to the Olympics as both Australia and New Zealand can qualify here or in 2019

No, too many reallocations are required, the list would be useless

Just individual sports (not beach handball, field hockey, futsal and rugby sevens)

Sadly no, it's the top 5 from each main weightclass with a maximum of 1 boy and 1 girl across all events for each NOC. The weightclasses will also be combined so that there are only 4 boys and 4 girls events.

Except most boxers are near the maximum weight, you aren't typically going to see an 82kg boxer in the heavyweight. There's a three kg difference between the light flyweight and flyweight, that's having events for the sake of having events.

Detailed List Remaining NOCs - (Potential Sports they can qualify in) Marshall Islands - (Athletics, Swimming) Mauritania - (Athletics) Total NOCs Remaining: 2

Yes, but it needs fewer events. 10 was a lot considering what the other combat sports had. Even 8 for men is pushing it. They also need to bring back real-time scoring and give professionals the same qualifying rights as amateurs.

Yeah, Europeans don't need to worry about being "tourists" if they can qualify through world or continental qualifiers.

Maybe they are trying to word it so it doesn't take a team of lawyers to figure out what was written...
