FIFA has Russia and Italy listed

Post the links here and I can add them.

Surprised athletic events got cut... Realistically Colombia, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela should be present in all events (or at least 3/4) so it is surprising that so many events couldn't find a fifth nation.

Wikipedia requires proof, everything currently listed has a reference. If you have information please share it with us.

For team sports does anyone know which team the following nations will send Boys Beach Handball or Futsal Beach Handball or Futsal Field Hockey or Rugby Sevens Girls Field Hockey or Futsal Futsal or Rugby Sevens Beach Handball or Field Hockey Futsal or Rugby Sevens Beach Handball or Futsal Include a link if there's one. Africa still needs to have their field hockey and rugby sevens qualifiers.

No, meaning Africa may not have representation at the Olympics.

6 Europeans 4 Americans 4 Asian/Oceania 2 Africans From there 12 nations will qualify (including hosts and World Cup champions)

Australia should still qualify. Technically only Europe is guaranteed a spot at the Olympics. Though it will be unlikely for Americas and Asia/Oceania, but quite possible that Africa will miss out in qualification.

I don't think I can do a proper prediction, youth athletes don't get a lot of exposure plus their performance are quite inconsistent. Maybe in some sports...

It's always fun to see athletes switching over to compete in different sports, especially from smaller nations. Tuvalu had a former footballer competing in the javelin at the Commonwealth Games.

I think the program has finally gotten serious about sevens. Sadly they choked earlier in Hong Kong. I imagine they'll be huge favourites to promote next year.

Ireland got more points in two events than Russia in ten.

I imagine they have been reallocated, just that the general public doesn't know. Though with some searching you can find some results. Japan for example will select the girls' -57 and -73kg events. Sadly the UWW didn't publish the match between the third place nations so I don't know who gets the other three spots.

New Zealand also likes to decline quotas which has given Pacific nations spots at the Olympics. I don't mind, you're still better than ~5 million men who live in non-Australia or New Zealand Oceania nations.

So it looks like Russia was given a reallocation spot from the Worlds so its European spot went to Belarus. See ISAF.

Yeah, that second qualifier tournament that let Puerto Rico qualify in 2016 was beyond dumb.

If Ireland ever gets it together they'll have a great rugby sevens team.

Where did you find the genders?

According to the Techno 293+ site Belarus qualified in the girls' events through the reallocation of the tripartite quota. However, looking at the qualification document it doesn't make sense unless many nations declined the quota. I wonder if they meant Belgium, who was to be the next in line instead... Do people confuse the two nations like Slovakia and Slovenia?

There's an assumption that some nations qualified in mixed doubles will also qualify in the team event. However, it is technically possible to qualify 89 athletes per gender, three over the 86 limit. Of course that would be unlikely.

Does anyone know if at the European Cadet Wrestling Championship they held a match between the two bronze medal winners in the women's events to determine what the third athlete will be?

Yeah, our continent really likes multi-sport games. Panama is in the unique position where they compete in all games (Bolivarian, Central, South, Central & Caribbean and Pan American)

Looks like FIG gave Namibia a spot in artistic gymnastics despite their athlete only competing in the vault. Link

Here are the nations that will compete in dancesport (break dancing) B-Boys: B-Girls:

For those interested in new sports the final qualifiers for break dancing will happen this weekend. Here are the entries Looking at the website it appears no tripartite invitations was given (since they advertised 11+Argentina boys and girls will qualify) which is weird as there are a couple of tripartite nations that have made the finals. I guess the NOC didn't know about them. Also due to continental requirements Australia will qualify one of their boys while South Africa's Jordan has already qualified. No athletes from Africa and Oceania are competing in the girls' events. I wonder if at the Olympics they will be referred to by their real or stage name.
