  1. She wouldn't be eligible for a wild card since Hungary qualifies many athletes. There isn't too much competition for the wild cards anyway. Only Sri Lanka, Zambia, Ghana and Jordan have athletes in the top 300 with only Sri Lanka in the top 200 (and they have a good chance at getting a men's spot too). It is quite believable that at least two spots weren't allocated to tripartite nations. In 2012 none of the female tripartite quotas were given out.
  2. If two tripartite spots are returned then she would get one (along with Estonia) if my counting is correct.
  3. ISAF updated its qualification list a few days ago. New Zealand has declined its quota in the men's RS:X (we already knew that) and women's RS:X while Australia declined its quota for the women's RS:X. No replacement has been listed though it should go to the next highest ranked eligible boat from the 2015 World Championship of that boat class.
  4. It has been a disappointing two years for Canada, I thought they could have a very outside chance at winning a medal. We essentially switched places with the United States. Fiji just needs to reach the quarter-finals in order to win the title. I hope they can translate this to their first Olympic medal.
  5. Considering most nations use the format of the first three letters of their name as their code I would say it's intuitive. One of the biggest reasons why a nation doesn't use their first three letters is because a different nation already has it.
  6. Maybe it was a mistake. If Slovenia didn't exist I would also write Slovakia as SLO since it's intuitive.
  7. I think that was done a while ago. It may be possible that Morocco wanted a different athlete to compete in the event (possibly someone from the WSB/APB)
  8. You will be given a third (he can only compete in the team event).
  9. It was already a bit of a scandal before that ranging from T&T changing their selection criteria to give Dick a chance at competing at the test event to topless pictures of both athletes
  10. If you like selection soap operas you should read up on Trinidad and Tobago's gymnastics selection. It essentially divided a nation.
  11. It looks like the IAAF said a suspension won't be likely link
  12. Are they allowed to go back that far? I though it was just parents and grandparents.
  13. I wonder whether Australia put pressure on him to do so.
  14. Most nations have accepted their quotas from the world rankings. The biggest ones missing are China, Japan, South Korea and Chinese Taipei. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some internal selection going on between eligible players. Sweden has also yet to confirm Kristian Karlsson. There is the possibility of an internal selection from there too or maybe they just haven’t gotten around to doing it, they were quite slow to accept the quotas after the European qualifiers.
  15. What happened in the -105kg? The winner (who likely competes in the -94kg) would have lost to the winner of the -69kg if they competed against each other.
  16. Kenya is about to be declared non-compliant by WADA which could make it go the way of Russia.
  17. Assuming the wild card entries are accurate I like their choices so far. Sri Lanka was an obvious choice and Bangladesh was a good choice too. I would have preferred to see a man from Madagascar, but at least the nation is represented. Equatorial Guinea is a bit of a surprised, I could imagine other nations being higher priority. Kosovo’s athlete is pretty weak too, but I feel the tripartite commission would be very generous with them. Hopefully they don’t go too overboard with them.
  18. Ignoring the obvious troll it is quite possible that Canada could finish with 0 golds. Just like in 2012 we are pretty good in most sports, but rarely the best.
  19. Very good choices overall. I doubt the other women's single sculls spot will be filled so that spot will be reallocated to the final qualification regatta (Europe + CAN/USA/AUS/NZL).
  20. The United States has a lot of depth in athletics outside of the race walks, though even that is starting to get developed. So far the only other events which don’t have at least three athletes reaching the standard are men’s hammer throw, men’s javelin, women’s triple jump and women’s javelin.
  21. Technically the unused quota from Canada in the women’s K1 would go to the US, but then the US would have had to decide between its women’s K1 and men’s C2 since a nation can only qualify two athlete quotas from the continental qualifiers. Is it possible for the US to use their C1 winner and add him to the C2 boat? What would happen to the missing athlete quota, will it go to the C1? I hate that ICF gives the public no information. The are by far the worst sport at this, especially considering that they have such a complicated qualification system in the sprint.
  22. More or less. ITTF set aside 22 quotas for team members which have not qualified in the singles tournament. This was done to guarantee nations which qualified 1 athlete to the singles tournament, but also qualified a team two athletes in order to make a team. Of course in hindsight it is unlikely we will need more than 16 quotas. North America is guaranteed to always have 2 from the same nation while Asia, Europe and Oceania are pretty much guaranteed to have 2. Africa is still very likely to have a nation with 2 as long as Egypt and Nigeria remain the top nations. The only scenario where a nation would need 2 team athlete quotas is for Latin America and the host. Of course it’s better to be safe than sorry when making the qualification document.
  23. By my count he's pretty much guaranteed (outside of Serbia declining the quota)
  24. Probably after all of the quotas have been accepted. After that the team quotas will be given out. Overall we should have 7 quotas added to the world rankings; 6 from unused team quotas and the host quota. Just like the scenario with Russia, North Korea won't get a men's quota because he did not compete at the Asian qualifiers.
